Re: *No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Media Thread

Those articles in magazines are messing with our heads...
But it good that we discuss them here because we realize that there are several ways of interpretation...

The article was interesting...for me anyway. It gives me pause about how things play out because the story wasn't told by quoting Andi directly. It was all about how they interpreted what happened. So it's either a friend which I doubt or one of the producers who is pissed at JP. Somebody isn't happy with him. Even CH scolds him in his blogs. Maybe that's the red flags we should be paying attention to! I do think away from the drama, he and Nikki could make a go of it so I hope it turns out that way!

JuanP has definitely annoyed production. Those SCs in the preview of him getting upset and refusing to continue with the interview were sluethed to be during ep2 - the dog fashion shoot. Perhaps there are more such incidents.

As for the red flags - I always pay attention to where CH is leading. Somehow we get a clue from him of "stuff" that will go down in the future.

Nd, I don't know if you have read the article but after reading it knowing how close Andi and Nikki were, it does give me pause about how things turn out or how things are going now with Nikki and JP. I'm just not feeling it can be anyone but Nikki at FRC. I dunno what happens or where they stand after reading it and knowing they were close.

It could have been blown up...they do need to sell mags. As much as I liked Andi, that whining became just too much for me! She's the only logical choice as the next bachelorette in my eyes. If she is, I hope she leaves ALL THAT WHINING at the door!

I didn't read the article but CHs blogs are normally telling.

Pssst...don't look now, but I think their self-righteousness is showing...

I have another thought...lol..now that you got me started today! From day one I kept waiting for the relationship with JP and Andi to evolve. I couldn't understand why she got such a late 1-1. I felt after her 1-1, it just wasn't there for JP not compared to Nikki, Clare and Sharleen. I do think Andi is the next bachelorette. Who else could it be? Clare's edit says its not her. I would love Sharlene but I hold out no hope there. Anyway, I have a theory! I think production knew that Andi wasn't going to be a strong contender for F1 after talking with JP during the early part of filming. They liked her and decided she was a great contender for the next bachelorette. JP would not play ball with them, though on building up their relationship...not like they wanted. He didn't give them much to work with so here comes the opportunity at FD and boy did they get him back! With production in her ear, it was easy for them to hang JP out to dry. Azzholes! I just wonder how Nikki is feeling now that season is playing out and reading that article in US magazine.

I'll try. They never quoted Andi..but you had to read it carefully because it was written in a way that made you think Andi was giving the interview. As I said earlier in the thread, I think it was someone in production who was their source. Who else other than Andi would know exactly what happened. Anyway, she got upset because he didn't ask enough about her, he told her she almost got sent home (LOL) and he spoke of another FD with one of the other girls. In other words, she put 2 and 2 together and realized at that time she was more than likely not going to be his final choice. After that she left the Fantasy Suite...ran into production for her PIS and bam...it was on! Production was SO happy. I can just see it now...throwing the right questions at her left and right. A producer's dream esp when the Lead has thrown you one obstacle after another in telling your story and getting the right footage to create a love story(and everyone guessing).

oh Wow. Can see that happening. Thanks..

You and I are thinking alike. They have to give their next lead a story, a badly broken heart. A good one for Andi to go back and confront JP about this issue. When have they aired out the discussions that went on in the fantasy suite.

Exactly and the article did say, it happened while the cameras were off! If Nikki is chosen as his F1, I don't think Andi would have given that interview in such a way. I know she wasn't happy but after seeing his realtionship with Nikki(her friend), it just sounded like an interview that came from someone other than Andi....Production...

Or maybe that article is a warning that he left with no one. I don't know. Right now, he's truly enjoying hanging with Nikki..we'll see what I think when Tuesday's episode has aired.
