I do think that considering how tanned Drew is, he is there for longer than just the FD.

He may have the first one and then has to wait until the F3 RC. Plenty of time to get more tanned. I don't think he has a LCD.

What's interesting to me is that we have SCs of Michael (eliminated at F5 RC), Zak (eliminated at HTD), Chris (eliminated at FD) and Brooks (F2???) all looking upset in limos.  Where is Drew???
ETA: If Des had eliminated Drew, we would have seen his departure in the limo.

Atem, I've watched the vid several times also I didn't come that conclusion.   To me, it seem like he is making a decision.  You maybe right, but I don't see it that way.

But if Drew leaves and she is so upset, why does she refer to him in interviews after the fact as "kind-hearted".  None of this is making sense to me.

Because the decision he had to made was probably more for her sake then his. jmo

We don't have Chris eliminated at FD. We have him in a limo that seems to be either on the way to or from the FRC. You're right that there are no shots of Drew in a limo but not sure if it means anything. They may have decided not to show it because it didn't fit what they were going for.

I think the edit is purposely done to get the viewer to think this way. JMOAA.
We know Michael leaves next week--no brainer.
We know Zak leaves prior to FRC and he is in a suit--indicates exit at HTD RC.
So that leaves 3.
Chris is given enough documented dates on Antigua to indicate F2. We see him in a limo in a suit. Under normal seasons this would indicate FRC--as the normal season the 3 RC guys are in more casual attire.
Drew is seen in Antigua dates---horseback riding and playing in the ocean. That could be one date in reality. We don't know. But it makes it appear as if there were 2 dates and not one. We don't know what really happens there.
Then Brooks...it's easy to make the viewer see he leaves. So what the viewer is left thinking is Brooks, who was labeled as a "frontrunner" by the show's press, is leaving! What a shocker. The frontrunner leaves, thus leaving Drew as F1.
But we all know what the franchise wants us to think is not the way it generally plays out.
SO what I'd like to know, how calculated was all of this? If Brooks had to leave, did they ship him back to the States and fly him back again? That could take up a couple days--if so, it had to have been planned otherwise things would have proceeded chronologically as they always do. We have a longer timeline than normal. Why?
Was Brooks kept in a room for a couple days in reality waiting for the rest of the script to catch up timewise to him coming back? Did he fly home and then come back and let the rest of the script catch up to this plot? Because otherwise when Brooks leaves, things should progress as normal---2 left and MTP and LCD and ok---FRC.
We do not see any MTP stuff because it would answer this question. Ali did not have days to move on from Frank's departure. The rest of the series flowed as it should...no longer days added to her schedule. We know from Brian's departure episode the series was meant to end May 10th. So--this entire scenario was planned from early on? The entire crew and production do not stay on after the wrap party. Only a few select do. The show needed a longer timeline this season to deal with the plot twist that appears to be planned for from the get go.

If Drew leave, it wont be in a limo..prolly in a van like Arie`s departure

Kasha..we do have Brooks activating his Tweeter I believe the 8 th..so maybe he did come back to the US.OR did stay on the island..

I believe they created the drama because she was struggling to finish the season..I think she did make her mind up very early.JMO.

Also her saying in a interview that the process taught her what she wanted and needed..

April 30th.
If our timeline is right and they got to Antigua for the sole purpose of the normal process of 3 fd/ RC and then 2 MTP/2 LCD and FRC then arrival on April 25 and being back in the state by May 10 is a L O N G span. That long span was intentional for built in drama.

What was the span from arrival to location of 3 FD to back in US (including post FRC time for B/ette and F1) during JEm and JASH?

I'm sorry, but how do we know which twitter you guys are talking about? There were like two others before he did the one up now.
