Do you think Sharleen leaves and comes back?

My speculation is that she doesn't go beyond hometowns (not that we ever see many hometown shots in promos anyway to be sure) and she and Juan separate amicably. Yet there is so much "concern" about her connection with Juan as there was with Tierra and Sean.

For me the line of "it makes me sick" is interesting in itself. Mike the G-Man used the line "It makes me feel sick to my stomach" regarding James last season, not that we can go with much there.

Another suggestion... in Ashley and Ben's seasons, a separate thread was used for PI shots. The editors always have contestants "time travel" from future episodes to speak in earlier ones... like Sharleen. I noticed that Andi time-traveled from the future saying she hadn't spent much time with Juan... la-dee-da... and I suspect that the editors are trying to make her more of a "frontrunner" than she really is. Yes, she kissed Juan in the concession stand, but the editors DON'T want us to know how limited her time with Juan is at a later time so they make her PI words "appear" to be spoken in week #3 instead of, let's say week #5 or #6.

Way back in Ali's season, they had Chris Lambton talk about the Turkey wrestling date after Ali dumped him and his face was beat red from crying. Many at the time question why he looked "sick" in episode #6 when it was actually shot the day his "last chance date: ended abruptly.

Like-wise many of Ashley Hebert's PIs were shot in mid-May after production ended, with her sporting the same hair perm she had for a TV Guide interview. Her line of (paraphrasing) "Bentley, if you are watching, I'm *bleep* done with you" was long after FRC! I am guessing she got some extra "inside scoop" regarding Bentley post-show.

Talking about " time travelling" I noticed that the scene where Sharlene said "it makes me sick" plus the other similar looking one where she had on a lacy white cover-up were shot at the mansion. From what we know so far, they will not be returning to LA for filming until after the HTD's (F4 eliminations), so it's possible those were filmed at that time. Including the one that was shown of her last week, presumably talking about Clare's "possessiveness." This would have been early November so that would explain the turtle neck top. Another one used last week from a future date, is the PI of Clare crying over JP and bla bla (the one we matched to the girl in the ocean), that one was most definitely taken from St Lucia and used to further her "crazy girl" edit.

His BL towards Nikki with no 1on1 date was pretty intense (stroking her hair, nearly touching her shoulder and carrying her across the mud garden to the seat for their convo.) than what he has displayed towards Clare (hand on her leg) who already had a 1on1 and therefore a connection. At the episode 2 GD he was talking about her work. Perhaps you can add that convo and put it all in the editing thread itself.

As you said, we need to see more of what pieces of their various convos they show in future episodes to make a judgement call. I too see a strong case for Clare to be F1 but we have yet to see too much of the other ladies.

ETA : IMO the fact that he did not mention Nikki in his blog despite giving her the GR says a lot.

We can add these lines to Nikki on that episode 2 meeting too:

"Nikki's fun. Nikki's cute. She's a nurse and she takes care of kids. That to me is huge. I like Nikki. I want to get to know Nikki better."

Later when I have more time, I will check out some of his quotes with as many major frontrunners as possible. We'll create something-something on the editing thread so ALL of the ladies can be compared equally.

I think for Juan, people who take care kids like Chelsie, Nikki, and Alicia are set apart bcse of Camila. Now, Nikki is sexy to him so we have to wait until their 1 on one date. Claire =Drama, Juan is no drama. Almost didn't give her a rose last episode.
