Re: *No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Media Thread

[mprssdbyu]

Oh, one more thing. It did infer that whoever left had formed a friendship with the other girls. And the other girl after learning that Andi(didn't say Andi) had left, she began to question why. That's what gives me pause about a JP and Nikki happy ending! Ugh. We'll see what I think after Tuesday.

What did the article say?  Can you summarize? thx

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).

It is always wise to take whatever is written in the tabloids with a grain of salt. However, how awkward would it have been for Andi to sit and listen to JP talk about another girl. I thought he had a problem with tattling?

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.

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.

What story of being broken hearted did TPTB give Pablo? I don't recall any dramatics with him during Des season. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

I would say Juan Pablo would be the exception. He didn't go father enough to really get one. They went with with, the public wanted him. They did try to play him a little disappointed at the MTA. I don't think in the beginning that had any plans of Juan Pablo being the bachelor.

I seem to remember there was an article about Brooks leaving without naming him the week before Des fantasy dates episode air. I know I read it and it had a similar tone-describing what happened without names seemingly from a production insider. And it was correct, not a made up tab story.

If anyone can find and scan the article that would be great ! TIA.

Laughing, now I don't think JP sat there and told her how great the other FD were. I'm not sure what he said but I'm sure he didn't expect her to get that upset over whatever he said! If it really bothered her, she would have left as soon as he said it and had a discussion about it. I think she mulled it over while he was asleep and the light bulbs came on! Therefore she got up and left early that morning and production was more than willing to be her friend....licking their chops. Laughing. Poor JP!

TV Grapevine preview is up it is the same as the MSN sneak peeks: his discussion with Clare's mom, shooting with Andi and eating barbecue with Nikki.

Thanks. I didn't see the MSN ones and didn't realize TV Grapevine was updated.

All of that meat on Nikki's date. Ewwww! At he is enjoying himself.

Putting the article description together with the episode 9 description:

Episode 9 ~ March 3rd

The three remaining bachelorettes join Juan Pablo on a trip to St. Lucia. One-on-one dates include an excursion on a luxury yacht, a visit to Latille Falls and a horseback-riding adventure. Meanwhile, a contender pays a surprise visit, leading to an explosive situation.

So if, if, if the episode description goes in the correct order, it would appear that Andi heard about Clare's date. Eww! Would it makes sense that Andi interrupts Nikki's date because she needs to talk to Juan? It could explain Nikki's crying cap on the sofa. She sees Andi upset and she knows something bad is going down...again, just speculating.

Doesn't the f1 usually get the last FD?

Personally I think the SC of Nikki crying on the sofa is her LCD, just a hunch nothing concrete. I think the SC in the red dress is her crying at the F3 RC when she heard that Andi had left. I don't get the impression Andi interrupts Nikki's FD.

I totally agree with this. I've said all along to myself, how does JP keeping going because each good bye at RC gets worse. Now, he has to have a F3 RC after Andi raked him over the coals. I do think it upset him and he's probably not himself again at F3 RC even with Andi missing. I do think Nikki is crying there partly because of Andi leaving. Can you imagine the speech he's giving them. I don't expect him to cover it up. It's just not his way. Should be a doozey!
