*No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Edit Discussions

nd4reality wrote:Personally I don't count the "heat" on the screen as an indication of who the lead really likes. That is normally reserved for the F3 and sometimes the F2. With the F1 it is cutesy romance and little things that make their interactions just slightly different from pure lust and make out sessions.
I still see Clare as making the moves on JP and not the other way around. As I said and will say again, she may just end up as F1 anyway - but she is not the one the JP is putty for.

I agree. Clare is not the one that JP is crazy about and she is pursuing him and not him pursuing her. I see his body language as pulling away from her and not going towards her when he is with her on group dates. I would have thought he'd be going towards her if he liked her. kinda like he did with Chelsie,Nikki,Andi and Renee.. If he really liked Clare, why didn't he go into the boat with her on the South Korea group date? He chose to go into the boat with Renee and Andi which I found telling. I have not seen enough of him being around the others-sharleen, Danielle, kelly on the group dates to tell who he really likes.

It is great that we are all seeing different things here. Maybe a body language thread would be a good idea for further debate?

I don't know what my problem is this season. Even a simple montage preview like the one shown below has me thinking of only one F1 candidate. Pleeeeeaaaaasssee! Bring on stuff to show me I am wrong with what I am seeing. I am trying my best to view all of these ladies equally. At least he says he's "happy" with Renee, so maybe she is another Dark Horse who winds up at the end of this?



PS: Please tell me I am reading too much into this... one reject says her eggs aren't getting any more fertile right before Clare fusses about watching Golden Girls the rest of her life. Then they show Victoria say she wants to get married... again.

JBF, what do you mean, exactly? Is the "My wife" significant in some way or "One of you can be?" Im not following.

Well... that is open to a variety of interpretations. If you are the Bachelor/ette's final choice and watching this on TV... and hearing them discuss somebody else as their spouse... what would you think?

Well to be realistic, the editors have left us searing images of only Clare in these previews. If you cut out the MOT girls (those that did not make F9 or F6) that we have proved by their absence in SCs and the drama scenes - there is pretty much only Clare.

ETA : I'm not sure how many will post in a BL thread, I do remember in seasons past a few made a good stab at it but recently it most concluded that the editors seem to take care of snipping the good stuff out of the show   .

There is always the prospect of a "MOT" coming back at the end of this and becoming F1 too.

Ha ha! I was re-watching that video above. So many funny little "nuggets" in it. Chris Harrison says some of these ladies have "real talent". Is that Sharleen singing? Why do I keep thinking HE will hook up with her at the end of this?

Also Juan put his fist in his mouth after meeting Nikki. Yet here we have a "questionable talent" doing just that.

JBF what is "MOT" ?

Here's you answer, Rolly... I didn't know what they were either initially.

In regards to the whole boat ordeal, it seems as if Juan helped the ladies get into the boats and just entered the last one (that wasn't sailing off), a la Renee and Andi's. It kind off implies that, no? Also, this was actually Clare's only group date so far.

In regards to the whole chase between Juan and Clare, it seems as if next week that may change based on what the preview and episode summary shows/says. It seems as if Juan is going to be iniating the time with her other then one major thing. It seems as if he iniates the kiss on the rice boat and pulls her away individually for some one on one time on the night portion of the date. Just some food for thought because they did specifically show ALL of that and made it known that that would occur by what some of the girls also said in the preview.

I doubt it. I did not think anything about the hands references. Basically if you are spoiled then your posts should not directly or indirectly clue the rest of us here in. What we are trying to do is sleuth the season from what we see on screen and via interviews etc. Makes sense ?
There is a spoiler section for discussion among those who are already spoiled though   .

Agree and to add to that..it should not include pre-season findings. That miami HTD RC was not searchable for us... the account is no longer active, so IMO we should not know that. I know peeps see us getting off track and want to clue us in, but that just robs us of our own discoveries. I'm losing interest because I can't sleuth fast enough to get ahead of those that feel the need to fill us in.

Grace, you should have told me you couldn't find the user account. @kristavaree is an Instagram account that is still active.

I am sorry that you feel robbed. I personally view using information "sleuthed" by other members as continuity and teamwork. Oh well, we all see things differently (thank God), so, I feel you. Anyway, this is no longer an issue since Sanlee has created a new line of threads for those who wish to start their sleuthing from scratch.

I thought it was a twitter account. But you both said you "remembered" it from pre-season sleuthing. You are pulling information from over there. I will ask Sanlee for clarification on it, but to me, if you are spoiled, you know the answers before we can uncover them and the miami pic is a good example.
Sanlee created a thread for episode discussion with no sleuthing. This is for unspoiled folks trying to figure it out. The discussion for spoiled folks wanting to dig a little deeper is in the spoiled threads.

JBF, that's not what I meant. LOL. I meant do those lines to those particular girls have some sort of importance, to you? Or does it imply something?

What I think it could mean is that when you take the phrase "One of you can be", that's all you have. It can mean ANYTHING because it's such a broad statement. However, "My wife", even though fairly simple and much shorter then the former statement, holds more value because it is set in stone specific. "My" means "belonging to" and then obviously wife. That's very specific compared to "One of you can be" which is open for so many possible interpretations/scenarios.

I am not JBF but MOT means Matter Of Time gals. I think that is what you are asking.
