I agree with those above. I do not see a smirk on Clare's face.

Agreed. If you look at the map of the Plantation provided by Mr Write, there appears to be only one gate. Once you are outside that gate, and on the raked beach, as they are, there is nowhere to go but onto a boat.

Same gate - different sides.  If you look at the "Nikki" gate, you'll see cross members on the gate doors.  If you look at the "Clare" gate, you see the black hinges.  One is coming, one is going - just don't know which one.

We have a SC of Clare coming with that same gate as Nikki's….then we have Clare with CH with CH turned toward her to possible say good luck and the foliage still looks the same as the first (not really groomed) or whatever and then we have Clare walking with Chris later on the other side or different gate with an area that has been groomed and with rock wall edging landscaping….just isn't the same and a huge question for me……not saying Nikki isn't F1 not say Clare isn't rejected….but there has been a lot of talk that Clare will have a meltdown and this picture doesn't look like Clare is a mess….it looks like she is just perplexed (how is that)

I believe they are both coming here since the door would swing inward. Geez they could not clean the path.

I haven't see any pictures of Clare being distressed at all.

Nikki has looked unsure but not sad at all. Clare seems super confident everywhere.

The beach is right behind the gate.

So the rock wall landscaping is on the beach side not within the plantation/mill side?

I would say yes.

The the SC of Clare and CH on the more paved part is another gate. That whole area looks more "finished" to me than the first set of gates.

[glazedover]

These are two different gates and not opposite sides of the same gate as we thought:

Looks like the same gate to me.   

They could be the same but my reasoning is that the handle holes would be visible or let light through in both photos if they were.

Same gate, opposite sides. The "mystery photo" must be the beach side of the gate as the ground is raked like the beach. You can see one of the center holes pretty clearly, but it is dark instead of light, because the light is shining in the opposite direction from the photos taken inside the gate. If you look carefully you can see that the strap hinges from the front side of the gate match up with the parts of them you can see through the space between the gate and posts in the other photos

Okay…then I still ask why is CH with Clare after her rejection? And then why would they release this photo….they have never done it before ever to my knowledge release before broadcasting of the episode a rejection picture of the F2 (timestamp)…it is just something that I find very weird, with no meaning behind it just trying to make sense and time frame of all the photos they released because it is putting a story together and if we want to seal that deal the Nikki is F1 just off of these timestamp photos - who came first and Clare goes ballistic/meltdown and there is twist, I think this picture is the big puzzle that needs to be fit and make sense. that is all….

[Mommyof2]

^ Just a guess, but I would think it would be difficult to maneuver in high heels and a long gown through the sand and onto the boat. CH is simply there to help, IMO.

Maybe there isn't a true F1. Maybe JP tells both of them "Geeze, I can't decide. I would like to continue dating both of you until ATFR and make my decision then." Clare gets the news first and she isn't that shattered because she knows what's coming for Nikki??? Got to admit, that would be fun to watch!
