The Bachelor 18 - Screencaps Discussion - *Spoilers*

There is a definite gap between Claire and Nikki - Clare is all out, hyper happy and enthusiatic, Nikki a lot more quiet, cautious, the bit of chat we saw was just learning about each other's siblings, etc... Of course a 1-1 date versus GD makes a big difference, but even in the first episode, it seems to me Nikki is more quiet and taking her time, than Clare who is ready to marry him on the spot (well not quite but you know what I mean).

Big contrast if these are indeed F2s

Just in the nick of time. Juan Pablo promised we will be surprised with the finale... and Chris Harrison insists it will be shocking. Ha ha!

Yes, but I thought that was all BS

Going to have to take a break from it and come back fresh tomorrow.

In the meantime, does anyone have a better sc of this.  I'm trying to figure out what JP is reading (card, letter, Fodor guide to St. Lucia!?).  This is at Anse Mamin, btw.

What stands out most in the video and the screencaps is the very noticeable absence of Nikki, except for a few brief flashes. Can this be the old trick of hiding the F1? Anyone??

He is looking at his hand

Mr. Write - jp is looking up how to say in English "It's not me, it's you." But ees ok.

SO Mr. Write….since you have the location do you know if they can only get to that spot via boat or they can do a limo also?

The short answer is by boat, not limo.

The longer answer is ….. The FRC takes place near an old French sugar mill in Anse Mamin, close to the Anse Chastanet Resort.  The sugar mill is in a forested valley just to the north of the resort.   The valley leads down to a beach.   You have to access the beach in order to access the mill.  The only ways to get to the beach are by foot (ie. walking around the headland from Anse Chastanet) or by boat.  Most people get a water taxi from Soufriere.  Once you are on the beach, the only way to get to the sugar mill is along a dirt path (ie. by foot or mountain bike!!!).  It is about 300 yards from the beach to the site of the FRC.

(The FRC takes places next to where is says "Stables" on this map)

If a Limo was waiting to take F2 away after the FRC it would either have to be at Anse Chastanet or somewhere like Soufriere.  If a Limo was waiting at Anse Chastanet, then F2 would have a considerable hike round a headland, and even then the road to Anse Chastanet is unpaved and rough.  So it seems almost certain F2 left by boat.  But maybe not the same boat as she arrived on.  This is why - Both women arrive on a dive boat called “Kika” owned by Eastern Caribbean Diving out of the Bay Gardens Beach Resort, near where the girls were staying.  The trip down would have taken about 45 minutes.  There would have been enough time, therefore, to deliver F2, return to the women’s hotel, pick up F1 and deliver F1.  However, there would not have been enough time to wait for F2 and take her away and then go and get F1.  Obviously the alternative is that both women went by limo to somewhere closer and that the dive boat ferried them back and forth.  Either way, I think F2 left by boat.

("Kika" Dive Boat)

This is from someone who took a dive trip on the Kika – it amused me!
“My one criticism of the boat, "Kika" was the toilet. There was no paper and the loo was smelly! Other than that, a great team and dive.”
