Re: *No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 Screencap discussions- thread #3

I think we are in for a big surprise Monday....not what anybody is expecting.   :atomic: I for one can't wait for Monday to come. I still think TPTB would really like more than anything to prove RS wrong....whatever that is, we shall see....

  If releasing accurate times on the pictures would clearly give us the sequence of events, why would they release them??? [bold]What would be the point of doing that?[/bold]

Ummm...to run the business of the network by making photos available for purchase to media outlets who publish them and that promotional activity hopefully boosts ratings so that ad rates go up not down for those time slots. The photog gets paid on the assets that are sold. The images are selected to avoid obvious spoilers but "they" could care less about altering time stamps. This discussion has gotten so out of whack with reality it's making me laugh.

  timestamps in my book are a sure thing….Nikki came second…….plain and simple…….we always try to make more out of things then needed….but all my thoughts are just crazy for all the other stuff that tptb is posting and sharing this season.

I agree with everything you have said 4Health.  Something is off.  Even if Nikki arrived after Clare, Clare is still on that beach at the time that Nikki is there.  Is Chris Harrison escorting Clare to a "holding area" to await Nikki arriving and leaving before she goes back to talk to JP??  There can be a bunch of scenarios and I don't think that this is a lock down slam dunk win for Nikki.  I think some here could be really surprised.

Where did you get the idea that Clare was still at the FRC location when Nikki arrived?

Clare is photographed leaving with CH at 11.24 am, she is right on the beach (if you study the map Mr Write posted and the other photographs of the location) and Nikki arrived at 12.13 pm. I specifically asked Mr Write if it was there was enough time for Clare to get away before Nikki's arrival and he said yes.

Yes we do see Clare with Harrison at that time...do we know she is leaving...NO. We know she is being walked to another area by Harrison and that's all we know.

OOO good lord.......

we don't have a pic that shows her leaving on a boat so more assumptions are being made that she even leaves.  Again, something hokey happened on that day and until I see it or have more PROOF, then making assumptions that something happens and she is gone from the beach, just is that assumptions.

No we don't have a photo of her leaving on a boat, but there is no where for her to go but the water, and despite what Jeepers wrote, I seriously doubt she swam back to the awaiting limo.

The point is... we DON'T know what happened. Again, assumptions are being made.

[Aunties_Love]

AL .. Your assumptions then are no different than the assumptions of others. . There is nothing that shows Clare returning or being led someplace other than towards the water .. Which is being shown in that SC

The difference is, I am NOT making assumptions. Flat out, we have no idea what happens, but others are making assumptions that she is leaving by boat and is booted off. Let's not make ASSUMPTIONS till we KNOW what happened.

I thought I did see posts here of Clare coming off a boat.

Exactly, I do think there is more to the finale than a simple Clare boot off that is wanted by some here. I believe more would be happening than that and you are right, Producers want to slam RS badly so who knows what's up. Let's face it....they got him last season and according to a few interviews I have seen/heard, he really wants to sock it to him again.

I just enjoy looking at things that don't make sense to me. I agree with Mirzam of the times and all that….but being the devil's advocate that I am, I question a lot of things. I do respect Mr. Write and his talent and what he has shared….but the one thing that keeps coming to mind is man, they didn't leave much of a window between the women and for JP to get his thoughts together and everything ready for the big FRC. That is all….I am not saying this to indicate some big conspiracy, just a observation since we don't know exactly what went down. I just know that when we get our wild mind going we can come up all kinds of crazy things, like Brooks coming back, that Brad & Emily had gone off and got married etc. etc. But tptb does try to lead us in a certain direction….but this season is just different, they aren't really telling us a certain F1 direction but only that JP is a tough, rude and horrible communicator…..and that he two young ladies that have fallen for him and expressed "I love you" and "I have falling in love with you" and that's it…..thank goodness there are so many opinions and that people see things differently, life would be boring if we all thought the same.

I am trying to look for those pics showing Clare getting there by boat.

Here are the tiny pics. I know they are here somewhere though. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
