Episode 9 -- Fantasy Dates -- airs TUESDAY February 25

No idea why, but they are choosing to show Monday’s hometown dates completely out of order in regards to when they were filmed, according to ABC’s press release. Back in October before they even filmed the first hometown date, I told you they were filming from west to east. The actual order of filming went Clare (Oct 23rd), Nikki (Oct 25th), Andi (Oct 27th), then Renee (Oct 29th). On Monday, however the order they will show them in is: Nikki, Andi, Renee, Clare. No idea why.

I do suspect Clare is the visiting contender tho

By now you have figured out that this mag cut a deal with ABC for exclusive Bachelor info, which the editors have been turning into cover stories. Apparently, following Sharleen's departure this week, next week, on the February 25th episode, another woman will dump Juan Pablo and leave the show. The magazine won't name the woman, but it's either Clare, Nikki, Renee or Andi, because that's who's left. The lady in question goes into the fantasy suite with JP and, according to an insider, "she sleeps with Juan Pablo" and "they stay up the rest of the night talking." It's the talking part that goes badly: JP tells the woman about his fantasy suite date with a different contestant. Ew. He also informs the woman that she almost got sent home. Then he talks about himself so much she gets frustrated, and upon leaving the suite, calls him "immature, rude, inappropriate" and deems the evening "a disaster." A couple of days later she "lets him have it," telling him she's never been with someone who asked her so little about herself, and ends: "there's a difference between being honest and being and asshole." Sounds like quality television.

Per jezebel, that is supposedly the gist of this week's Us Weekly cover story.  Has anyone seen the actual story?

As well as mentioning she would have been eliminated the previous rose ceremony. Which leads her to get upset so days later she privately speaks with him and let's him have it & then does the right thing & leaves.... after hearing the news, another women questions her feelings."

Sounds like Andi based on the spoilers, must be the one who "interrupts" JPab, and Nikki must be upset over her leaving.

US Weekly correctly revealed in a cover story that Emily slept with Arie. But they didn't leak that story until after the finale. Emily's season was a farce and very publically fell apart. Granted Andi leaves next week but it's interesting that fantasy suite information is being leaked before the episode airs.

Also, a good indication that no one cares about this show anymore is that several online sites reported US's Emily fantasy suite story and none that I can find (other than Jezebel) have referenced US's Juan Pablo fantasy suite story.

Here's a timeline and cover photo comparison --
