People see things differently.  My mom commented again that she likes to watch the girls and JP connection and when the girls talk about JP not so much the girls and friendships.   My mom says that is all fluff…..she says I watch Juan Pablo….she also said that Nikki has said nothing nice about the girls and when she is with JP and talking she gloats about herself.  (I clarified that my mom is talking about PI's during their dates).    Remember my mom is 83 years old and she watches it from a different thought process….she says she only really pays attention to Juan Pablo and who he is with and what they say during that time.   So I just might go back and watch only those times and see if I agree with her.   I think watching it from that point of view might be close how Juan Pablo's point of view (since he doesn't know about all the fluff)  Then if you only watch the PI's during each date maybe it will come across differently to me.  We shall see.

Which scene was this?

When they were throwing the ball back and forth on the baseball field.  He stopped and said her would rather kiss her than throw the ball.  He dropped his glove and walked towards her.  She did the same.   I swear she said "OMG" twice between kisses.  I did hear him moan too.

I know that people have different opinions. Obviously it's fine and I respect that.
I also thank you for sharing your family experience when watching the Bach episodes.

But I was not talking about Nikki. Forget about her. I don't mind if she's seen differently than the way I do.

I am surprised about your family not talking about Clare, unless I missed that in your input.
How can you not mention her attitude, facial expressions, snarky comments, especially when talking about this last episode ? What about her behavior during the fight ?
No comment at all ? Your family didn't express any disappointment in her ?
In my opinion, even if you're a fan of Clare, you have to recognize that there was something not really nice here coming from her...

I couldn’t stop smiling during Juan’s date with Nikki. I loved the idea of this date because it is what a normal day would be like in a relationship with Juan. His daughter Camila is so ADORABLE and although it may not be fair to the other girls that Nikki got to meet his family, he must have chose her for a reason and there’s no hate for that. The one thing that stands out when Juan is with Nikki is their great communication. Nikki asks the right questions and doesn’t let the attraction take over the foundation of their relationship which can make for a strong and lasting love. We learn the most about him and his thoughts during his dates with Nikki and I like that she brings that out of him. She is becoming more and more of a favorite for Juan.

I thought the part where Nikki doesn't let the attraction take over was a very good point. Rather than just kiss we actually hear them talk about their potential relationship. Obviously we don't see everything but they have the most real life connection we've seen so far.

I also see that he enjoys her ability to step out of her comfort zone and roll with things easily .. Without drama .. Occasionally needing a bit of prodding to do so

But it didn't stop Nikki from bragging in ITM's about him being her boyfriend.  Even Clare hasn't said that in ITM's but Nikki has bragged about it.  To me, that is another example of someone being over secure and another example of someone that could be totally blindsided by a different ending.  Something that a F2 experiences...

We have seen Clare be over confident in PI's and even to the girls when she said she wouldn't just try for a kiss (or something similar). Maybe Nikki has good reason for her confidence. We don't know what JP has been whispering to her.  :Nod:
