Atem, do you know what time the press releases usually come out?

It depends how much they have to spin the ratings.   Just kidding. Usually I would say 2 PM ET? IDK, sometimes it's like 1PM ET.

I've just watched the preview a bunch of times and my first reaction is that almost the entire piece is VO's.  Did Des and the guys really say so little that they could use directly???

The other thing that strikes me is that it would have been difficult for them to film the scene with Des and Brooks on the pier given how narrow it it.  Hard to get those long shots without getting the close up camera man in them.  Probably much of that (including the walk off the pier with Des not having her arm around him) was a bunch of retakes.  And can we just say "Wow" to Brooks hair out there?!?

Luv could it be more than one pier? The one that she was sitting on I know it was ID my MOT..however I didn't think the one that they show them walking back into the wood area is the same one.

Good thought Hotmomma, but the resort map (click link below), shows one pier. But now that I've looked at the views they offer on the map it's quite possible that they could have filmed from the beach with a telescopic lens to get the shots they needed.

From the sc the only one that could possibly be from the FRC is Chris in the limo. That could be him going or coming from it.  Going he could be very nervous which is why he has his hands rubbing his eyes or he's coming after being rejected.  

I am not clear whether he is coming or going. There is a valid argument to say that is him going to the FRC and all he is nervous. But the look on his face behind the hand was (Also) gobsmacked - what just happened ?
misticia can weigh in on this but touching your forehead is normally frustration rather than nerves.

BUT I want to take a look at those SCs again - anyone know where I can see them please ? the ones of Chris in the limo ?

Chris has nice fingernails. Is that nude color? Did he and Des paint each other's nails? Is that a clue?

Thanks nutty1.
I think there was one more with his 1 hand down and the other on his face as well.


I've posted some links to pages that explain the various  the tapping points and the emotions those points are connected to.
So y'll can make your own judgements on whether he is just nervous driving to or frustrated driving from.

BTW - Molly kept tapping her lip area while driving away in the limo !

Looks like he buffed his nails! He enjoys careful care of his hands!

So much better than the chewed version nails can sport. Maybe he had a spa treatment on his off day.

considering the day light sunray...im gonna go with the former...at least for now.:Smiley: 

That is possible the Key. If he is going there as F1 would it still be day light sunray i.e. late morning / early afternoon ?

Anyone else wants to weigh in on the sunlight issue here ?

SEASON FINALE - PART 1




THE TWO-PART SEASON FINALE EVENT BEGINS WITH DESIREE SWEEPING THE FINAL THREE MEN TO THE TROPICAL PARADISE OF ANTIGUA, THEN HEADS TOWARDS AN EMOTIONAL BOMBSHELL THAT NO ONE SAW COMING, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELORETTE"



"Episode 909 -- Season Finale, Part 1" - Romantic adventures await Desiree and the final three men - Brooks, Chris and Drew - as they travel to the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua. There is electricity and passion in the air during these sand and surf excursions, as Desiree continues to explore what her future would be like with these potential partners. She will spend special intimate time with each of final guys, and there are possible invitations to spend the night in a "fantasy suite." But an unexpected jolt will change Desiree's whole journey -- will her Cinderella fairytale have a happy ending, or is she headed for heartbreak? -- on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JULY 29 (8:00-10:01p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.


Desiree's first date is with Drew, and the couple set off to explore the island by jeep. Their sightseeing tour takes them along the coastline where they stop at several cliff-side spots, pose for photos and steal kisses. Then they join the locals at a festival, taking part in the celebration. But Desiree steals Drew away to a quiet secret garden where the two can share a private picnic. Drew, totally love struck, tells her that he is ready to propose. There is no doubt they have a special connection. A sudden tropical rain spoils plans for a beachside dinner, but they take shelter. It's clear that this handsome and sweet guy has captured Desiree's heart, and she invites him to share some alone time in the fantasy suite. But will this reserved man accept?  


Chris and Desiree meet on a picturesque beach, where a helicopter is waiting to take them to a deserted  beach on the island of Barbuda. They reflect on her hometown visit and frolic in the blue ocean water, where the passion is turned up a notch. Later, over a romantic dinner, the couple discuss the possibility of a future together. However Chris has a major obstacle in his path that he feels he needs to bring up to Desiree before things go any further. His career path is not in Los Angeles, and he will need Desiree to relocate. Will this ultimatum not only put a halt to the evening but also their relationship?


Meanwhile, Brooks is back with his family in the U.S., torn between his strong feelings for Desiree when he is with her and the insecurities he feels when he is not. His mom and sister offer heartfelt advice about the tough decision he is facing. Desiree is everything he would want in a wife, and there is no denying their emotional and physical attraction to one another. Brooks wants to make sure that, if he is the last man standing, that he has the confidence to put an engagement ring on her finger. After his mother and sister express their fondness for Desiree and their thoughts about her being a perfect fit for their large, boisterous family, the bachelor, now with the reassurance he needs, boards the plane for Antigua.


Desiree is excited to see Brooks and to spend time with him. But first Brooks has a heart-to-heart with Chris Harrison. When some shocking news is shared, Chris insists that the bachelor meet with Desiree. What unfolds is one of the most explosive, dramatic and emotional moments in "Bachelorette" history.




The three remaining men are:


Brooks, 28, a marketing consultant from Salt Lake City, UT


Chris, 27, a mortgage broker from Seattle, WA


Drew, 27, a digital marketing analyst from Scottsdale, AZ

I wouldn't say it is put to bed, whatever this is "What unfolds is one of the most explosive, dramatic and emotional moments in "Bachelorette" history." could still result in him leaving.
