First post so go easy on me please. Longtime RS reader but just discovered this site yesterday when looking for more info.

It does seem possible that she lets Arie go early and then lets Jef meet Ricki. Maybe it even seems too obvious? Or maybe longtime fans like me are just reading too much into it.

Also, can someone please tell me what tptb is?
Thanks!

:heyyall: And that is sort of the scenario a lot of us are thinking happens.
TPTB are The Powers That Be, or The Producers That Be...all one in the same!

If she lets Arie go the am of the FRC - why not just wait? At least with Chris she let him go before the LCD.

I say letting him go early will be a cop out and a huge disappointment to me as a viewer. I've not enjoyed this season, not getting the full meal deal at the end will just be another let down.

Do we have sc of Arie's LCD? Or just MTP?

I think in the scene where she is wearing the same outfit as Arie's MTP date her dad sas" I don't believe you can be in love with two people at the same time " then we get a clip of her mom saying something to the effect of " I would seriously hold of on an engagement at this point". Then Emi,y leaves confused. Something I read about the finale mentioned she was regretting them not meeting Riki but really didn't want to get her involved at this point. If one of the guys say they don't feel comfortable proposing without meeting her maybe that is the decision we see her struggling with ? Chris says you know what you have to do today and she says " I don't know how to even start that conversation". Well , it would be hard and confusing to a little girl trying to understand why mommy needs her to meet these 2 guys seperately and who they are etc. Maybe she doesn't know where to begin but totb wants us to think she sends on home early or chooses no one so it's edited to look like that.

For Arie just MTPs. We see Jef at the LCD which is after MTP.

That is possible and then in the end she decides against letting them meet her?

In Allie's Preview we see her and Chris on a date....what date was that? I thought she let him go prior to LCD. Are those the clothes they wore to MTP?

Some have said in the LCD SC thread they thought she was shown crying at the botanical gardens and that she lets him go before the date. It looks like they slapped a little teak chair for her to sit and cry on. Doesnt look like a bench or something that's supposed to be there. Anyways, I don't know. It is implied in the talk with Chris that she feels she is betraying them both so that would tell me she lets one go early. I agree with Anders if it's the am of the FRC might has well stop the boy before he proposes and let him go.

Don't they usually have the LCD before they MTP?

Nope, MTP is always first.

I asked this last night and they said LCD was second. I could be wrong. Didn't CL MTP but she broke up with him prior to the LCD?


Also, I think we figured out the crying was outside the hotel where they were staying thanks to JR's input.

This makes more sense to me too.

Just for the record, JR doesn't think this place is necessarily a hotel.
It looks more like a private house, villa. I could be wrong because I haven't seen all of the hotels on the island, but these pics don't look like a hotel to me.

And if it is crying by the botanical garden, then we may have to rethink which botanical garden.
There are a few more possibilities beside the one of Dinah Veeris.
Her's is the most popular as a tourist attraction and that's why I initially said it was her's - Den Paradera.
However, it could be the Kabouterbos - which also has the swampy look to it OR the Hofi Pastor, which has the oldest tree in it.
The reason I am hesitating on calling that pic part of the Botanical garden is because I haven't see the swamp at many of them (except Kabouterbos)

Ok Sorry I must have misunderstood you last night. Thanks for clarifying and being so helpful on here!
