I just think it all depends where in the walk in the forest they are at with this shot..

This. ^^^^^^^

It's too hard to tell by sunlight because of the trees as Hotmomma said. It also could be a cloudy day.

Maybe JP told Clare that it wasn't Nikki's first time to meet the family. That would definitely make her mad/upset.

That could be..and by the previews it doesn't appear that Caremilla is there..so I could see JP being honest telling Clare about Nikki meeting her? Maybe not? Or maybe his folks say something about it?

But in the scheme of things, how awful is that?

We get JP's mom telling Clare he can be rude.... so maybe he says something less than tactful when he lets her go?  :atomic: 

[Hotmomma]

Yeah..like I don't think you would be a good mom..oops..he already used that line with Andi..

Or Clare talks about the Ocean swim discussion...

Maybe that's foreshadowing.  

I wonder if they've hidden some other times when JP put his foot in his mouth in order to make it more dramatic near the end? It should be interesting to see.

My question is still...why did they hide Nikki's FD and LCDs??? It makes no sense to me.

[iamreal2u]

Can I just say that Clare and Vienna's FRC dresses are very similar. Same of the shoulders green dresses. Umm...

The main producer spin is setting up no True Love Forever ending, with either -- that Juan Pablo didn't embrace the process, Juan Pablo himself only talking about it being "tough" and him being "honest" even if brutally so, and needing to do what was "right" for his family.

Whether this is coordinated disinformation campaign, or managing viewer expectations, won't be known for couple of weeks. Even if we figured out that one of the girls was rejected, or went first or second, etc. from Amazing Screencaps, the campaign spin has successfully introduced legitimate doubt that there's a Happy Couple then or now.

Great point! I'm so confused. I can see any one of those endings possible. TPTB certainly have created a situation where you need to turn in to see the end result -- "which is what they need, which is what they want" -- to get good ratings.

[Litta123]

I tried to capture many different individual frames of the girls walking to the FRC...to see if any sunlight pops out during Clare's walk...not just on her, but anywhere in the forest. Perhaps, as luck would have it for TPTB and as albean pointed out, Clare was walking when the sun was behind a cloud.

Litta123 - If you remember I had pointed out two different sun "intensities" when the initial SCs of the Finale promo came out.

Those were SCs of just JP but those Pots on the ground had the sun at two different angles. At the time I figured that was because each SC was from a different time of day. Perhaps that is true for these as well.
I remember for Brads season it was obvious that Emily had more sun on her shoulders.

Need to check and see if that is the case with JP at the podium in the newer previews also !
