Episode 9 -- Fantasy Dates -- airs TUESDAY February 25

TVGUIDE

The three remaining bachelorettes join Juan Pablo on a trip to St. Lucia. One-on-one dates include an excursion on a luxury yacht, a visit to Latille Falls and a horseback riding adventure. Meanwhile, a contender pays a surprise visit, leading to an explosive situation.

Why are the FD airing next week? What's up with that?
Does anyone know what in the world happened in Andi's fantasy suite? Do we have an rumors?
Obviously whatever it was is the reason she left early, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone with that kind of a response to the FS.

To me it looks like most of the changes that have affected the girls. Are coming from their own families input. It looks like several families are seriously against any type of long term decision here.

We still haven't seen alot of JP and Nikki's date. I am thinking the suite with the rose petals and Hawaian type flowers could be Nikki's.

In both situations where Nikki is seen crying. Could be about the girls leaving. Like Andi and Renee.

RS Steve said today (obviously take this with a grain of salt.....) that Andi gets mad at JP because he is talking about the other girls. Not sure if this means he is just talking about them as in mentioning their names or talking about them as in talking bad about them. And she gets mad and just wants out. I think she gets in his face about it.

Curious about the "contender pays a surprise visit" part of that statement.

I wonder if this is an ABC thing?  The Voice debuts next week, on Monday and Tuesday and since this season has actually had pretty good ratings they want to capitalize?  Or maybe ABC wants to over quicker to get to DWTS?

I think Andi leaves before the RC. Seriously at this point it is almost becoming as common to only have two people at the F3 rose ceremony. Not even surprising at all anymore.

Possibly, if the families see the same things we see week to week, I don't really see any believable connections with any of the F4. Yes I see physical attractions, but except for Renee, I see the same body language with all the women that JP is attracted to. With the 3 that he is attracted to, I think Nikki is the only one he sees as possibly mother material because she works with children. Does anyone know the extent of the custody arrangement between JP and his ex?

I don't know the custody arrangement, but suffice to say that I would be very uncomfortable with a beautiful, with what appears as unfinished business, Ex being around. How long can that last?
I'm not seeing any great love on the show. What I see is infatuation on Clare's part and competition on Nikki's part. Either way, I don't see a lasting connection. JP has an interest to be on TV.

Look, it happens. Just because you get 26 beautiful women doesn't mean that "the one" is there. Same for the girls. I think the girls are beautiful and smart, too good for JP. Once the show is over, so will the challenge of wanting to be with each other. That's my take on it.

What unfinished business?? Just because they have a good relationship?? They share a child .. Will always be connected.....

Ita. It seems tptb are missing out on a great opportunity to bring more depth to this show. Why not do a little e-harmony type of selection process instead of choosing contestants merely to fill a certain role? Seems it would make it much more entertaining and interesting.

Wouldn't do Much for ratings tho
