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.

Perhaps thats a heads up for us !


On the other hand, mentioned that Clare's Mom (very Stately lady IMO) told him that even if he does not end up with Clare he is always welcomed to their home (or something like that). Perhaps he's putting it out there for Clare to read and give their family a heads up that they can expect a visit regardless.

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

I agree..he's honest to a fault but I for one like that about him very much. For me, I take away he may not get down on one knee with her (even as his F1) because he chose to tell us that up front in his blog! He's honoring her father's wishes.

Nd..he has done that so many times in his blog..bring up things about Nikki that weren't shown..like giving her the sunflower..which he says are his favorite flowers..

Having said that I think he too sunflowers to Clare's HTD to give to her mom..

I am just wondering why he feels so driven to tell all the details they seem to leave out for Nikki..I don't think he has done that for another Girl..

This is exactly what I thought when I read it too.

Somehow I totally missed the second screencap of her and JP on the couch!

^^^ Not a couch - that was when they fell off the bull together. It was a cute scene.

But didn't he say something about a surprise at the end?.

I do believe as the season goes on It's Nikki...I really think her 2 nd date with her sealed the deal..JMO.
I think Clare is getting the f2 chemistry edit..JMO.Or should I say that how they chose to edit it..oh the curse of the first date..

He also gave her a hat in the previous episode (Miami), also mentioned in his blog.
For me, it's telling ...

Thanks...LOL I remember it now. It's funny what you miss until you see a still shot. Oh, he likes him some Nikki!

HTD- When they were riding the mechanical bull.
