*No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Screencap discussions

Perfect! Thanks, grace. Once I've made up my mind that it's Clare, now I can see it in this cap. It's still fuzzy, but look at the smile.

I think there is a SC of Elise going home next week. Not sure who the other girl is. Guessing Kat or Lauren. It looks like the girls in leather jackets happens next week and not in NZ

Update:

So it appears we have two group dates in South Korea. On one group date, we have: Andi, Kelly, Allison, Clare, Lauren and Renee

On another group date, we have: Elise, Chelsie, Cassandra, Nikki, Kat and Danielle

Then, Sharleen gets the individual date in the tea house and evening date where she sings for Juan.

From the preview, it looks like Clare asserts herself to be around Juan as much as possible. Andi gives a PI, indicating displeasure/frustration with Clare over this. Clare kind of gives a cocky response to Kelly when Kelly asks if she's going to kiss Juan. All in all, Clare is presented as going after her man and the other girls on the date not liking it. Jealousy seems to be the focus of the preview with respect to Clare. Later on at the RC, Clare and Nikki have a run in.

Clare and jealousy, towards her and from her, seem to be the emerging themes of this season...or at least, in the next episode.

Noticed that he's looking at Chelsie in the 2nd picture. But the first picture has Clare maneuvering closer to him but he doesn't look too happy to see her.

Thou at this point in the show, I think Molly the dog probably has a better chance of winning his affections than some of these girls.  :giggle: Well with the exception of Chelsie. I think something is building there. I'm just seeing a turn off from Juan Pablo with some of the other Final 4 girls based on body language in the last episode. His body language is screaming that he is not interested and is just going through the motions with some of them to please the show producers who still has to put on a show. JMO.

I really like Chesie date, it is the best so far for me. So far, she seams a good fit for him and he really likes her. She is to watch!! JMO

I was pleasantly surprised by Chelsie last night. However, the only other significant cap we have of Chelsie is in Miami where's she crying, upset by the other girls. We also have her on the beach with two other girls during the infamous swimming scene...probably Vietnam. We don't get anymore of her with Juan alone...as best I can tell. Because of that, I don't think Chelsie makes it to the end. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer for you, but that's what the caps are saying to me.

I thought it was her from the very firs look at the pictures, but was not sure about it coz nobody saw her there. Now I'm happy I'm not alone. :)))

Speaking of "missing" SCs in the preview......

What do you think about the fact that we have only Clare with 2 different sets of SCs in St Lucia and we have been unable to find the "second F2" and for that matter no third F3 ?

Do we think that it is just Clare that goes on after the FDs to the finale ? The reason I say this is that in the last season, we "knew" that Brooks went no farther than F3 because there were no SCs of him in the season preview to support that he went on to F1.

Many of his supporters claimed that it was because tptb was keeping them hidden when in fact they just did not exist.

Is it possible that we have a Clare-only at the finale this time also ?

^^^ Nikki in St. Lucia is solid. The scenes are identical to the tripadvisor pics Litta found... just a slightly different angle and distance. Notice that the same big rock is in both pics.

We also girl X on the red and white boat, though it could be Nikki again. They wouldn't have Clare on 2 different boats.

ON ABC’S HIT ROMANCE REALITY SERIES,

“THE BACHELOR,” PREMIERING MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2014 ON ABC

“The Bachelor: Countdown to Juan Pablo” on Sunday, January 5

Soon-To-Be-Wed Bachelor Sean Lowe Pays a Surprise Visit to Juan Pablo to Offer His Advice

This Season’s Highlights Include Private Concerts by Chart-Topping Artist Romeo Santos, Josh Krajcik and South Korean K-Pop Sensation “2NE1”; Romantic Excursions to Seoul, South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand, Salt Lake City, Utah and Miami, plus a Spectacular Trip to St. Lucia for the Seductive Overnight Dates and the Emotional Finale

Juan Pablo Galavis, the former Venezuelan soccer player, stepped out of the limo to meet last season’s Bachelorette, Desiree Hartsock, and into the hearts of female fans across the country who were taken with his sincerity, easy-going charm and good looks. The dashing single dad, very devoted to his daughter, Camila, was ready to find love. Juan Pablo became one of the most talked about men of the season despite failing to win Desiree’s heart. The fans spoke and now Juan Pablo is back for his own chance to find the love of his life, wife and stepmother to his daughter. He begins his search for his soul mate, choosing from among 27 beautiful bachelorettes, when the 18th edition of “The Bachelor” premieres MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2014 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) , on ABC.

Editors’ note: The two-night Bachelor Premiere Event starts on Sunday, January 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) with “The Bachelor: Countdown to Juan Pablo.”

In “Episode 1801,” Juan Pablo enjoys some time with his adorable daughter, Camila, when he is surprised by a visit from Sean Lowe. Sean offers some pointers on how he should handle his romantic adventure when 27 amazing women come from all over the world to meet him. Although not looking forward to having to send any of these beautiful bachelorettes home, he soon forgets about that when he hears the first screams of excitement from the limousines. It’s obvious the women are out to make a memorable first impression. A gorgeous nurse pulls out a stethoscope and lets him listen to her heart. A free-spirited hippie decides to go barefoot. A vivacious dancer invites him to show her his sexy salsa moves. The real showstopper is a music composer who arrives on a “piano bike,” playing her own composition. Not to be outdone, one woman shows up seven months pregnant. Is it a stunt or an OMG real moment? And one bachelorette brings a date – her dog, Molly.

Juan Pablo tries to calm everyone’s nerves by surprising the women with an impromptu dance party and a spontaneous photo booth. Now, as he tries to get to know the women individually, the stunning nurse impresses him with her commitment to caring for sick children. A lovely single mom connects with Juan Pablo as she shares stories about her eight-year-old son. But things get a little crazy when an overzealous masseuse gets the Bachelor on her massage table and treats him to some of her best moves.

Tensions run high once Chris Harrison brings out the first impression rose, with those who haven’t spoken with the handsome bachelor growing more anxious by the minute. One recently heartbroken woman tearfully relates her story of being left at the altar by her former fiancé. An elegant opera singer, who has come half away around the world to meet Juan Pablo, is totally enchanting. As the party draws to a close, he offers the coveted rose to a stunning beauty, but she is hesitant to accept it. Why?

At the end of the evening, 18 bachelorettes remain to start the exciting adventure with Juan Pablo and begin the search for love.

A list of the bachelorettes will be released shortly.

Romantic and adventurous dates will reach new heights this season, testing the ladies’ perseverance in pursuing their romantic objective, along with fun, exciting and exotic dates that will elicit real and raw passions. A “Winter Wonderland”– complete with ice skating, sledding and a hot tub – is the Los Angeles setting for Juan’s first one-on-one date, culminating in a private concert by blues, rock and soul singer Josh Krajcik. Juan Pablo travels to Salt Lake City, Utah on another individual date to run the world famous “Electric Run” 5K with one lucky woman. A group photo shoot benefitting the Models and Mutts charity causes quite a commotion among the women when two bachelorettes discover how their photos will be handled with Juan Pablo. The Bachelor feels right at home when he invites ten ladies to play a game of futbol at the home of the MSL two-time defending champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy. Jetting off to Seoul, South Korea, Juan Pablo and the remaining women are submerged into a totally different culture. Six women are introduced to the South Korean K-pop superstar group “2NE1,” who teach them one of their choreographed dances. They are shocked to find out that they will perform as their back up dancers in front of a huge audience of screaming fans. Vietnam’s breathtaking natural beauty is the next surprise on their Asian tour. The group journeys on to New Zealand where a thrilling, but mysterious boat trip through the Tutukau Gorge, a spin inside an Ogo and a visit to the famed movie set of Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” are the backdrop for more romantic twists and turns. Sparks fly at a private concert by chartbuster Romeo Santos in Juan Pablo’s home of Miami. Finally, after spending passionate weeks traveling to a variety of locations, Juan Pablo brings his final three women to the exotic Caribbean island of St. Lucia. Will this sexy single dad find the love of his life or will he miss his chance for a happy ending again?

Makes sense though that could be our 3rd mystery F3 girl.

Therefore we still have only Clare confirmed with 2 dates, Nikki with just 1 date confirmed in St Lucia.

right, I meant that it's possible it's Nikki on the boat, but more likely the mystery F3.
