Re: *No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Media Thread

Don't know if you guys have seen these deleted scenes. Gotta love Lucy, what a trip!

[nd4reality]

Have deleted scenes been a clue to the F1 in previous seasons ? Not sure if Chris featured in any last season but historically we had the F2 a strong focus of many deleted scenes. If memory serves right, we had a lot of Drew and Chris L.

I have to re-watch it. I know Clare wasn't very "clear" with him on everything.

Haha! That's putting it kindly. I re-watched it today, looking for the extra Sharleen cap...so it's pretty fresh in my mind. At least with what we're shown, I do not believe she complains to him about kissing other girls. It's focus was about her lack of time with him and how hard it was...but, yes, very unclear.

She even says she understands when Juan apologized for not having her on a date that week. She was explaining to him that it's hard because in a normal situation you would be texting or calling after the date they had, and she hadn't been able to touch base with him at all...blah, blah, blah. He did his best to reassure her and calm her down. Her freakout was more with the girls and in her PI, IIRC.

Like I said, her EDIT resembles some past F1s more than the others so far. I am not saying she is his "best" match or that she and Juan are destined for Happily Ever After. (I do think the call-out to Sacramento on Jimmy Kimmel is interesting though.)

Then again, we hardly saw Sean's Catherine until episode #4 outside of her narrating PI sessions.

Although this discussion belongs on the edit and screencap threads, have you noticed how many shots of Sharleen proceed Clare's in the primary promo (shown at the end of episode #1)? Although there are some stand-alone Clare scenes without Sharleen before her, it seems that all but one (maybe two) Sharleen shots are followed by Clare.

Gosh, Drew is the king of deleted scenes. I don't know the significance, if any, of them though.

Just playing devils advocate, its not that he only mentioned sacramento. He named the HTs of Andi, Renee and Clare.

This season we don't have any of the gals just playing "tour guide" and with a clean edit. They are all in the mix. Well except Renee and she is a saint.

That's why I included Des' clips here too. In hindsight, you know Jimmy picked incorrectly. The fun comes with analyzing Juan's expression this time. I too am doubtful about Nikki.

Unfortunately I couldn't find Sean's start-of-the-season interview to compare here, when he put on the Poker Face as Jimmy chose Catherine. Sean, however, is very relaxed in front of a live audience and quite smooth with questions and answers. Des and Juan are more klutzy.

It probably doesn't matter if people here are spoiled or not, since Reality Steve had all four final guys in their wrong "pecking" order last season. Yet I too am curious how confident he is. Probably not... just saying "take it or leave it".

Actually he is quite confident. -----

Great. Do you spoiled folks agree (via SC and editing evidence) or are you finding holes like last season ?

Speaking for myself, I am not so sure at all.

Yup he was. Quite a few of his "scenes" were in the season preview but then cut from the actual show.
Chris L also had a few deleted scenes in that season. I think that Cat scene was the only one with Roberto that was shown to us.

ETA : Just watched Sean and Catherines wedding. The wedding itself made me tear up. I love Seans family and his dad did a great job ! Could do without so many references to the wedding night and the constant wedding night suite camera they showed. Tacky ! Can't say I'm surprised with Fleiss in the drivers seat though the couple themselves could have minimized their comments about the 'event' as well.

They showed a preview for ep4 and the drama starts ramping up. Not sure if its pure editing but both Nikki and Clare are being viewed not so nicely by the other girls. Wowza. Someone needs to teach Sharlene to kiss. Her technique is just cringe-worthy.

[nd4reality]

The ep5 preview is up on jokers site if anyone wants to take a look.

On youtube too... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

It doesn't make any sense! Where were the other girls when they moved the frolicking from the pool into the ocean? They even had enough time to snuggle in a towel! Could those scenes be from a later date-St. Lucia, perhaps?

Ben and Courtney had their skinnydip in episode #5, but only they knew about it until the show aired.

Clare is not Courtney though. Courtney was repeatedly accused of being "one way with the girls" and different with Ben. They aren't EDITING Clare that way. She is simply the Drama Queen with all of the insecurities.

She's the drama queen who's going to let you know upfront what's up if she think you're doing something not cool. She's not the type to backstab someone in the back. I think I would rather take Clare over Nikki. At least she told Nikki flat out there's something wrong with what you're doing. Nikki on the other hand instead of talking to the girls she has problems with, she talks about them behind their backs. I think it's not Nikki being mean or catty on purpose, I think she honestly has no idea how she comes across to other people when she does that. She's even admitted she doesn't know how to behave around other girls.
