But, Beb, can you address why Sara is coming to the forefront so soon before the finale? Where would be the suspense from the storyboard point of view? Now, to me, the greater suspense seems to rest with can Jenna still be his pick. Can she overcome her age, etc.?

I would love to hear your perspective on if you think Sara is peaking too soon. And if so, why? If Sara isn't peaking, do you think Jenna still has the lead?

Actually, just 2. Her family and then, Austin. Then, the finale. Not sure what the finale means - I'm a virgin here- but I assume that's more of the mancave/checkerboard lite up floors/hunger games elevator shafts/hollywood squares/secret gardens/annoying reality couple hosts and sparkly dresses.

Two episodes left. Ref. Wikipedia Ready for Love (TV series)

The finale is June 4th.

No. I don't think she's peaking too soon. I think we talked about this weeks ago (correct me if I'm having a senior moment again)...and I remember saying before the SB EP, that if something didn't happen in that episode, it had to be Jenna...that was what? Ep 5? There's 9 eps total? Right? I'm confused about that...but there's 2 left.

So, it was building up to Jenna in the first 4 eps. And it didn't look like anyone else stood a chance. Then, SB and Sara popped a little. I was like, okay, something's happening. We predicted that. Tim says he has to rethink.

Then, Hawaii (Sarah comes through more.) And then, the family episode today. So, Sarah has been emerging for 3 episodes with 2 left.

If you look at it from a classic story arc perspective, it's a beginning (Jenna for 4 eps), middle (Santa Barbara), then, slide into the end - eps 6 thru 9. So they've set up the horserace. What I'm saying is that, it's either girl's game. But, it seems to me like it's hard for Jenna to overcome perceived emotional immaturity, right? They've pounded that in. How do u fix that? (Cue the orphanage) With Sara, you can now feel them building the chemistry between them.

Plus, it's weird that Sara's posting pics on her FB of her all over Tim. Sara's been suspicious from the go because she was so quiet on Social Media. Suddenly, she's out there. I don't know what to make of that. And she seems like the choice that the producer's would want him to make. It's the better story. Two wounded souls brought together by the brilliant MM's. They rediscover they have hearts again...they're the tinmen to Amber's Wizard. Jenna's story is...well...something else.

Sara was there all along. She was just the hidden edit because they wanted to play out the lost love. Once they got past that, then her story line came to surface. That is when they started putting more doubt with Jenna. It will continue to be Sara till the end JMO.

Okay, so from the editing, you're saying that's it's either girl's game right now. I misunderstood. I thought you were saying it was Sara as the clear F1 from the edit. So would it be fair to say that you think Jenna and Sara are tied right now, so to speak?

This board is getting interesting!

Beb you are one smart cookie I am thoroughly enjoying your posts! Litta yours as well.

I think they are setting it up to be a rat race to the finale between Jenna and Sara. At this point I think Sara has overcome her obstacle as we have seen her more playful flirtatious side. I think they are setting up the arc for Jenna to overcome hers with her telling tim her feelings etc etc.

I'm telling you girls, they are setting you up for the shock of Tim choosing Hailey!! Think about it! Beb makes a great point that they wouldn't make their MM look bad by highlighting Jenna's flaws only to have her be the f1. And Litta makes a great point too that they wouldn't be putting Sara so in our faces. So the only one that will truly surprise us at this point is Hails!
Yay! I'm glad we figured that out, I can go to bed now :Nod:

With as many times as he has had Hailey alone down there in the garden, I just know they cut out some super steamy scenes!

In response to Sara coming to the forefront, to me she has always been out there from the beginning she has had a lot of screen time. Where as I didn't really notice Jenna coming to the forefront until the pool table date. At that point before that they were trying to make Christina seem like the one to beat. So I think until now Sara and Jenna have had equal screen time.

Now all of a sudden they're not showing much Jenna which makes me go hmmm...

I'm at a total lose as to how Jenna "grows up" in 2 eps. I really don't mean to hedge....the story arc points to Sara. If I had to pick, I'd say it was Sara. I say that despite the Halloween photos (funny those came out today...) Tim's friend, the concert, the events, the lake stuff.

Hailey's FB makes sense to me in the context of Sara. Sara's FB makes sense to me if she's F1. It feels like the answer is more in the silence then in the clues. Something's still missing tho. Heck, maybe Tim's with Tracy...and Matt. Maybe Mr. Lopez comes back on and says he was wrong. He's really what's stuck in my craw. Doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would put his foot in his mouth.

LTS, the cubicles theory becomes one step closer to the truth with each new episode. So far none of our predicted finalist from the cubicles (credit goes to happygolucky) have been eliminated. So, if that theory is true, Hailey will be eliminated.

That said, I honestly would break out a bottle of champagne if Hailey were to be the F1. I love her!

Right? We'd all be happy if it was Hailey! She rocks.

This is all speculation on my part. Does anyone else think that the producers are distracting us from the real F1s with the F2s. Just looking at everyone's picks for all of the guys Allie got a lot of action this weeks episodes detracting us away from Angela. Alba has had a lot of drama/screen time distracting from Shandi. Then we have Sara distracting from Jenna. Just a theory :-)
