Everyone speaking Spanish would certainly help if Carla has limited English. Culturally, it would be as similar as Canada and the US or as different as the US and the UK.

Yes me too esp when she was worried about  her sister staying with mom he calmed her down & she trusted him in the situation & it ended good! It was like a real relationship would go !!

Exactly.  I do see the progression of their relationship like a real one.  As Juan himself said with her family tonight, it was attraction to begin with, but they also have told each other a lot of stories and background.  Again, an example of a whole lot left on the editing room floor.

He seems to enjoy hearing about her life & her dad & actually teared up listening to her talk!! I just think he picks Clare !

   ITA with both of you. Btw, does anyone else notice that Clare's Brother in-law is actually a Latino?

Isn't Clare half Mexican...I would assume on her mom's side?

yup. i meant her sister's hubby, the only guy of the bunch..LOL..Puerto Rican perhaps?...i mean, JuClare's families may have more compatibilities than we first thought

also, has this pic made it on-screen?

i observed they couldnt keep eyes,hands and lips off from e.o...LOL....How many "acts" that we didnt get to see? ...Love drunk much?..LOL..

I found it interesting that they left a great deal more of the footage during Nikki's HTD on the cutting room floor...moreso than the other girls. I had no idea he brought her a present because her birthday was in a few days...not one smidgen of that scene...they really are holding back on the scenes of them being smitten with one another. It's almost as if it is too telling. They don't seem to like Nikki too much hence her editing.

How do you all know about the present ?

Read his blog. I'm a loyal blog reader. It is always a big piece of the puzzle for me.

tks

On thing that REALLY caught my eye is this part of his blog. Is he trying to tell us something or prepare us for no engagement...as I feel strongly Nikki stands last at FRC.

Her dad told me something that I really appreciated. He told me he wanted the guy who proposed to his daughter to be 100 percent sure he is ready for marriage. I told him that in this situation that would be very difficult, but I respected his opinion 100 percent.

yes..i felt the same way...but i interpret it in 2 possibilities : she is the F2 or if she is indeed the F1, it is likely no proposal for her. Considering JPab's middle name is "honesty"    i think i can concur that

Do you guys think that JaunP mentioning the fact that he gave Nikki a gift (not show in the actual edit) is significant if and so why did he bother to talk about it in his blog. It made no difference to the storyline !

Yes, hot scenes with Nikki are hidden.
I just posted in another thread, after watching a mini video from her FD, that the comment from JuanP : "Nikki is a good kisser, she's sexy etc..." shows that there is far more than we could see on screen.

ok since no picts of Nikki
