Where are these from? FD? LCD?

HTD. Riding the bull.

I really believe Nikki us F1. The question is, how's the ending ?
Proposal or not ? Nikki accepts (rose/proposal) or not ?
I think that's where the mystery is.
The comment from JP about Nikki's dad may indeed let us think there is no proposal.

I'm strongly preparing myself for a RC that may not resemble Dez's or many others ...  But I don't feel it ends  badly. He likes her too much and vice versa. Now, how are things going since FRC? We shall see.

Maybe MF is pissed at both of them for taking the safe route and playing it smart and being realistic! The editing of him and Nikki surely makes me go ....hmmm.

I agree with you. I think that Nikki is F1. I also think that they are still together. I feel that the edit they both have been receiving is kind of a payback because Nikki and JP are smart, stubborn people with good heads on their shoulders and, if they felt like they shouldn't or wouldn't normally do something thing, they would not do something stupid just because it would make TPTB happy.

yeah...i think the bolded make a lot of sense to me. I too believe People Blog is a good indicator who the F1 is. and i do agree his shout out to Nikki is too intimate if her being the F2. I found at least 3 paragraph titles entitled to Nikki. and he only posted 1 selfie -from his Miami date with her. He didnt do this for any other girls. The fact that the preview shown Nikki crying at F3 RC kinda Chris "worry" face last season at F3 RC make it more suspicious.
Now here i go again being on the fence of who the f1 is. I have no doubt they deliver wonky editing for this season. As far as im concerned, it might be bc JPab and his F1 being "rebel" (from what he's been implying in his TW/IG/Blog/Intvws)

^^^ its ok I'm on the fence too and have been. Thats why I guessed a no pick because there does not seem direction on JPs actions right now.

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..

I'm also puzzled when i read his blogs. Mentioning things he gave to Nikki. Also, there's a sunflower in a bunch he gave to Nikki's mom. What he gave to Clare's mom is a bunch of white tulips (not really sure if its tulips but it looks like one to me). These little things might or might not be significant at all.
I must admit that JPab and Clare's chemistry is undeniable, but his interactions with Nikki is also quite different and more endearing.

I agree about the editing for both JPab and Nikki. There's also an interview for Chris Harrison ( in Grantland) which is quite telling. It seems like they don't care about the people's bad perception of JPab as long as the show is being talk about.

To add to the puzzle.  Here is a recap from his cousin while watching the show.  There is nothing for Andi or Clare. Read from the bottom up.

i see her as if just going through the motions. I find its hard to match her VOs and PIs with her emotions (or lack there of) . JMO

Hmm, that's interesting. I like that she's thinking throughout this whole process and seems to be taking this very seriously. That's just how I see it.

Isn't it great that we can all see the same thing and see it so differently. What I find kind of funny is some people that I agree with this season (Clare would be my pick) I strongly disagreed with last season (I think Brooks was clearly F1 until he took himself out). Every time someone from the Cres group says Chris was F1 from the beginning I just shake my head and am temped to comment but I don't. The key is being respectful in stating our opinions....right?!?
