*No Spoilers* The Bachelor - General Discussion

^^^ There was some discussion of this somewhere but since I'm trying to remain unspoiled I hesitate to go looking for this stuff.   

Besides I feel that he only includes the final one in this list if there is some sort of drama surrounding him/her. In other words, unless the F1 provides some additional entertainment, he does not mention him/her. JMO

I don't blame you... I read one article on US Weekly about his allegedly wanting to quit several times and I was so scared I'd stumble across something.

Here's a question for those of you who are historians of the show. Do the previews shown at the start of the season always include the F1 and F2 in the FD/LCD location? Has there ever been a season where either the F1 and/or F2 was left out of the first preview, giving no indication the she made it to the very end? Just curious...due to our screen cap discussion.

Obviously it depends on the season and I haven't been part of the sleuthing for all seasons but recently we have had wonky endings so things could be out. Like Des' season we had no dates for the F3 because his date was cut short. I think Seans season did have both f1 and f2 but the F1 was extremely hidden.
Which IMO is true for most seasons, the F1s face is not focused on in the season previews. The F3 is the most noticeable followed by the F2. Examples of these in focus are Kiptyn, Chris L, Drew (in the previews though he was MIA for most of the actual show lol) even Seans f2 and F3 were noticable but Catherine was not. Jef1 was hiddden (Face) though identified via sleuthing, particularly his hair lol.
This is what I have noticed is a strong trend.

However, unless the person does not have a date (like brooks last season where folks insisted that the SCs were hidden - no they did not exist lol) they will show some evidence of presence and sleuths have been able to nail down the seasons just by matching up SCs. My 2 cents.
Another example (using last season) is that Zac was spoiled to be f3 but there were no SCs of him where as Drew was there and he even went past the F3/f2 RC and we found he had another date (horseriding + elimination date). So yeah the SCs will tell the story.
Incidentally there were actually 3 season previews, one on sunday night and the others on Monday (pre-show and extended previews post-premier). Perhaps there are pieces that are missing that we could find from 1 to the other.

Clare, Nikki, Sharleen, Renee, and Andi all have twitter accounts and are tweeting. Not that it means anything anymore. I also found Sharleen's webpage as well as it was bugging me how familiar she looked. Some stunning pictures and girl can sing! There may be some scheduling info there that could rule her out as F1/F2/F3 if we knew when filming ended.

According to her performance schedule, she had a performance on October 30th in Germany.  The show was still filming at that point.  So, it's safe to say she left F5 or F4.

The FRC was filmed on 11/13. The FSD's began on 10/29 through 10/31.

Often CH drops little clues as to the direction of the season. For example in Emilys season he hinted that the love story was going to take off in the episode that Jef and Sean had their 1on1 date.

This season he has said that some front runners are starting to emerge in the upcoming episode (and also more drama!).

So who gets the next 1 on 1 dates are theythe emerging front runners ?

Does this season seem different (or is it just that maybe I'm burned out on 'The Bach')?  I decided to at least start the season unspoiled this time. I have watched parts of both episodes and JP just doesn't seem to be invested.  He's just seems to be playing host & having a good time with friends.  But I guess it's still early- and prob just me.  Nikki and Andi will prob be there awhile and I agree w you all, Clare is all over the previews.

No, it is most definitely not just you! There have been comments here and elsewhere by people saying that he did not look particularly into the Clare date...or any date thus far. To me, he seemed to get more excited about wearing that glow in the dark track suit than anything else last night.

I thought it was weird that in his blog, Chris said this:

This is the first time she’s (Camila's) ever seen snow. If nothing else comes from this season, that father-daughter date was well worth it when we saw the look on her face and that smile.

I thought the same thing. Might be to our benefit... the girl he gets as excited to see as that glow in the dark track suit could be the one.
