*No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Edit Discussions

Kelad9 wrote:I still think we are being misled with the spoilers and possible edits and feel in my gut that Chelsie is F1. Like I said, I can't explain why I feel Chelsie is F1, but that I do. I think it's because I see so much more between her body language interaction with JP and his body language with her than I see between JP and some of the other girls. I can't wait to see how the season pans out in terms of edit and what we see on screen versus what's out there in spoilerland.

Kelad, I feel the same way! I can't seem to shake that feeling! Their body language cries out F!, JP is so comfortable with her. I watched and re watched and still think she is the one. I know, some people look for the smoke coming out the kisses, but I see deeper than that. Olivia Pope and the president in Scandal kiss gives me goose pimps, yet they are only acting. So, it's the ease of the relationship and the mutual giving to one another that matters for a lasting marriage. We shall see tonight.

Chelsie did dress up Juan to look like Reid in their fun photos of episode #1, so she may take a page from Jillian's season and crash his final rose ceremony.

That would only happen if she came back after being eliminated (I hope she did because she is "Ryan" in my story   ) and JP took her back. She opened her twitter account on Oct. 25th which can only mean she was eliminated prior to that date.......Sorry?!

What would make a great show one season would be if a girl left and the guy chased after her. I keep hoping the show would allow someone to do that but sadly that hasn't happened yet. Thou I wonder if perhaps we might get that with JP.

Yes, that would really make for a good story if the feeling is mutual! I noticed that JP was tweeting about loosing sleep almost everyday at the end of the show. I almost sent the quote below that someone posted for Des at the end of the show."

Also, at the end of episode 3, it's CHEALSEA again being featured, talking, laughing, holding hands like old married couple? We shall see!!

When I first saw that commercial a while back, I had no idea who it was... but she sure looks like Chelsie! However she is going after the M&M, not Juan.. LOL!

If andi's not the F1, I think she might be a good lead too.

JBF- I'll eat my hat if Clare is the F1. She's too obvious in the previews.

None of us are certain who is the "winner"... or even if Juan goes back to his ex at the end of this. Yet they are sure dumping an awful lot of Clare on us.

There's a slim possibility that Andi could be F1. I am seeing too much of a "physical" edit with her, but who knows?

What does that tell you? Does that go with a F1 edit or??

Maybe Lauren's not going home tonight, since they just showed her crying scene. Wonder who then? Kat maybe?

I think Elise is going home too.

Yes, I meant besides Elise.

I think he sends Lauren home too since he doesn't like "drama!"

Btw, I love my new avatar and can't stop staring at it.  Oh boy, I am hooked on Team SigSock.

Episode 4… a brief recap of “stuff”

Trivia note: the last cluster of episodes FOUR have featured a shot of the lead either KISSING their future F1 (Chris after his Atlantic City poem and later when talking “friend zone” with Des, Catherine after her lipstick note, Courtney in the sauna, JP under the Phuket umbrella… getting Ashley “wet”, Emily too in Brad’s season, etc.) or… the lead complained about it (i.e. Emily fussing to Chris Harrison in Bermuda about Jef not planting one on her). Usually the lead discusses the kissing... and as Desiree told Chris "friends don't kiss".

This episode at least three ladies got smooched... I think.

Seoul… finally a place I actually visited.

Lots of Nikki. Great narrator. Love her “outside-inside” face. Like Andi, she has to… *drink!*… overcome a fear. Although she doesn’t have to get naked, she does get stage fright performing with 21… being totally different than NBA Cassandra, Chelsie (who dreams of playing back-up) and sidewinder Kat. Fortunately she didn’t need Juan to coax her. Nikki is a big girl.

Speaking of fears, Juan tells Kat in the evening portion his biggest one: not being a good example for his daughter. Hmmmm…

Back to Nikki. What happened to my future Bachelorette? All gals on the date are after her because of her “negativity”. Elise even says “eeeww… yuck!” when Nikki gets the group rose again. Wow! Talk about a 180 degree turnaround in one’s edit!

Not to be outdone, Clare is nitpicky about Sharleen getting the next date card back at the hotel. She sees no “chemistry” with Juan. So why was she fussing about Sharleen’s kissing last week?!? Clare… you are hot to watch, but there are times you need a good smack.

Not that Clare is the only skeptical one… Chelsie is later talking up a storm about Sharleen. For her part, Sharleen even admits not being as gung-ho about Juan as he is for her.

Well… there was a 180 degree turnaround in Sharleen’s edit in this episode, just as Nikki starts coming down in flames. She does say (after her trip to the market and opera singing at night) that Juan is not “bland”. OK… good start. Also he is a great kisser... and there’s the possibility of her falling in love. Gee, is she our F1 in disguise? He feels “fantasic” with her.

More importantly, “Sharleen and I have a lot in common”… a line recycled from his sitdown with Renee in episode #1. Renee and Juan are parents. Sharleen and Juan feel like “foreigners”. All three have a lot in common. (Speaking of Renee, she too is “critiquing” Sharleen back at the hotel as hardly mother material. Et tu Brute?)

The group date involving the karaoke, fish pedicure and marketing was a blast. While Nikki is criticized for being “negative” on her group date and Sharleen is questioned about her “chemistry”, Clare is simply the Drama Queen. Andi is fuming that she’s monopolizing Juan’s time, but all of the ladies are chuckling between takes… Kelly can’t hold it in discussing the amount of time Clare took to consume an itty bitty piece of fried octopus.

Why Juan suddenly got into this no kissing bit is a real curio. He uses the “ekuse” of his daughter watching. We can thank Renee for reminding him about being the good TV parent. (Thanks Renee! You are a real buzz-kill.) Of course, Lauren has every right to cry when she made her move on him… that excuse about his daughter did not work on her. She saw right away that she wasn’t high on his totem pole.

Clare, on the other hand... well, he violated his own rule. Speaking of her, did anybody catch the “cute” edits this episode?
-When Juan discusses his “great night” on the group date, only Clare was shown. Reminded me of Des’ episode #3 group date line “Today was amazing” as Chris rolled his eyes with a huge smile.
-When Andi got the group rose, she commented that “there is chemistry between us”… but the camera was not focused on Andi. It was focused on Clare and Juan sitting next to each other. Whether or not she’s F1, she must be on that date.
-At the rose ceremony, Juan says he’s hopeful “one of you can be my wife”. “One of you” is spoken over Nikki. “Can be my wife” is spoken over Clare.

After Nikki interrupted her time pre-RC, Clare gave us that all time great trademark line: “Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness”. (Loved the glare Nikki gave Clare when she was called for her rose… priceless. Gee… I had high hopes for Nikki being my Bachelorette.)

Poor Elise and Laureen… Next week, Nikki is getting hot and heavy it appears... and Clare is “blindsided”.

You only need to read Robert Mills tweets to know that the "Andi for Bachelorette" Campaign is in full effect.
