Re: *No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Screencap discussions- thread #2

I think I can make a compelling case that this sailboat cap could also be Clare's LCD. I've posted some of this before, but I'm trying to bring everyone up to speed.

There is an airport in the background of the sailboat cap:

When you look at a map of the St. Lucia, you see it is most likely taken around the southern tip. That's where the international airport is. Across from the airport are a couple of island nature sanctuaries.

In the approach shots to Clare's date in the promos, we see it is an isolated location.

And now we have these caps from the recent previews.

I believe this is where Clare's date takes place. These pictures are from the sanctuary's FB page. Sorry, I don't remember the name of the sanctuary, but you can look it up on google.

How does one get out to those little islands? By boat, typically. I read accounts on TripAdvisor of people who did just that to get out there. So, could the sailboat be the means to get Juan and Clare to those little islands? I think that shot could represent that. The sailboat is not the date, but the transportation to the date. It continues to go along with my premise that the preview tells the story.

Am I right?

These are shot from the sky, helicopter? So could that not have been their mode of transport?

The yacht could be generally filler, scene-setting footage. We can't really relate it to the date.

Hi from a new member.
About Renee: in a season preview from insidetv.ew on Jan 3 Renee & JP are laughing on his Miami hotel balcony at night.  He is wearing the blue hoodie from Sharleen's visit.  The blurred city lights in the background identify the location.  Any guesses as to why this was in the season preview?
The whole drunk scene scenario: maybe you've already discussed this but just in case. Yes, Nikki does a lot of VoiceOver here but to me what stood out was Victoria staggering over to where JP & N were lounging in the shadows, they briefly comment on her appearance then continue with their conversation about his brother.  It reminded me of 2 people watching tv.

Maybe. A part of me hopes you are. Do you have any caps of Clare in a white pilgrim/amish hat?   Can you pull that SC up again? Let's have another look please. I'm going to go read the WTA thread. Be right back.

Reading Juan Pablo's blog made me think Nikki is possible F1 too. However, if i watched the episodes, his chemistry with Claire is undeniable starting from their 1 on 1. With Nikki, i saw a progression with their interactions from getting to know to a growing attraction. I have my favorites and was happy when Des ended with Chris. This season i like Andi and Nikki.

I think they have shown deeper conversations between Nikki and Juan Pablo than with Clare. In Korea, JP asked Nikki how she felt about Camila, and Nikki replied that she had thought about it and wouldn't have come is she wasn't ready to accept a step daughter (paraphrasing). JP is also interested in her work, and then we have Nikki's question during the Miami date about how she would fit in with his family, and JP's reply about just being herself and she will fit in (again paraphrasing).

I don't remember any of those kinds of conversations with Clare, there was the VO during their 1 on 1 in LA saying he could see himself with Clare having a good life with Camila. Other than that, his comments seem to be how hot Clare is. For example, "She is sexy. She is hot. I'm helpless. I don't know what to do".

Not that he hasn't said Nikki is hot and sexy too. From epi 3 he says: "You have something that I like." "I like your vibe". "You are sexy." "I like your tattoo". And on the doggy date, he said in a VO over a shot of Nikki, "She's cute and sexy too."

I agree! There also seems to be an ease when he's around her. On his Miami date in the PI he said he feels comfortable and easy. He also said in his blog that the reason he chose her to meet his family was because she was making him feel more and more comfortable.

Agree completely. I've said as much in earlier posts. My "argument" from above is simply a response to those that say it couldn't be from Clare's LCD. I think I made a case that it could be; but I concur, the sailboat could just be a fly over cap.

Hi and welcome... Renee's SCs in the preview are just to not give-away that she leaves next. They are from Miami. Agree on the rest.

@Mirzam.. Elan seems to be on the red and white boat.

ETA: Sorry notarose.. just read your post more carefully. I've seen a bunch of stuff in previews that never shows up in the actual show. Not sure why that was in a Jan. 3rd preview. Can you post the link for it please?

I don't see a sailboat as a mode of transportation, another type of boat maybe. The show tends to use helicopters a lot especially with a picnic date so this could be a hike/walk related to that.

ITA! A steady progression in a relationship.
And i doubt anything Clare says to JP about Nikki will surprise him. He already knows there is another side to her when he remarked about her telling him her bad faults. I also remember him telling her the other girls didn't need to know all sides of her (especially her good and compassionate side), but he knows and that is good!

I see no one else but Nikki as F1 with or without SC for last chance date.

Girl in white top? Clare is wearing a black top?
