They need the time for James' drama. Might be a doozy.

I can`t remember if that has made a difference in past seasons or not .

What it will mean to me:
If they showcase the date in under 15 minutes of viewing time--they(Machine) are not giving this 1:1 date the normal representation of a 1:1 date--the emphasis normally accorded not even to those getting a 1:1, but the accorded respectful time they would give to someone in contention of the F4. So far I don't think Drew has been given 5 minutes of quality air time, so it will be interesting to see what airs.
If they showcase the date in let's say --17 minutes of viewing time or longer--they will be giving this 1:1 date the normal representation of what I would expect that of a contender for the F4.
What the edit leaves in and leaves out says a lot.

How long was Brooks and Chris date?

No, it won't. It's what we already saw...them yelling at each other. That's it.

But that's the thing--they really don't. This should be filler, but the fact they are so wrapped up in showing this ridiculous hyped-up drama indicates they don't want to show what they could have with F1 -F4. So like my previous post, the actual air time they give this poopy-poo will be interesting. You would think the focus would be on the main and her relationships between her main guys and not someone leaving before the HTD's--basically a matter of time guy.

I did not time them simply because I knew due to spoilers both are supposed to be F1/F2 and their respective dates went over 15 minutes. It was not abbreviated air time. This season it appears commercials are coming at a more frequent basis, too, cutting some of the segments between the commercials shorter.
Something is off with the Drew edit. I don't know what and it could end up being something as simple as he didn't like the process, the machine didn't like him or whatever.

I think the James drama was too good to pass up in their eyes and maybe the real feeings don't happen till Portugal and beyond. The James drama time might be the equiv of Bryden taking time away from Chris' date time in Germany.

What do you surmise from this? Why would they detract from F1 - F4? It would give away the ending too easily?

There was no reason for the Bryden cr*p either. I'm beginning to think the machine thinks the interactions of the 1:1 dates was just too vanilla. That Jersey date with James was torture.

1-1 times (I have files with no ads) from the moment Des + guy leave/are alone:

BROOKS: 15'30
BRYDEN: 10'
(BRIANStephanie drama): over 11'
KASEY: about 6' real (a bit more with them leaving but interrupted by Brandon talking about his issues with no dad)
BRAD: 9'
JAMES (well... and Sandy): 23'40
CHRIS: 19' with a whole lot of Bryden and boys talking about Bryden
2 on 1 - over 20'

Hmm.
In a sense they are giving away the ending pretty easy. If there was such interesting interactions between the lead and the guys, they would highlight that. But if there isn't it then has to be fabricated.
Something has to hook the viewer week after week. No one is really interested in a matter of time guy leaving--they all have to sooner or later--unless it is totally outrageous--like he dressed up in superhero costume and interrupted Des's time to say he had to leave to address more pressing worldly problems and then did a beam me up Scotty, and the editors really made him visually poof. That's almost how ridiculously boring this season's show is getting with the filler. Actually, that might be a fun way for Zak to depart---blue speedo, huge S henna tat on his pecs and nice red cape and poof--Dennis Weiler do your camerawork.
Perhaps if Brooks was the only guy she was interested in, well they can't keep only highlighting that from epi to the next--some of us would kill ourselves. And that does not mean necessarily, that she was totally gaga over the F1 or the entire journey. It just might mean it is what it is. A contract is a contract. Ho hum.
