It would be really great if someone could remember.  Not for the sake of argument but for the sake of knowledge going forward   .

ITA nd4.  I wish I could remember who / when it was.  Maybe Ben?  I just don't totally recall.

Definitely wasn't Ben, there were lots of conspiracy theories on the board, but no one questioned the the time stamps. We even had pap photos taken after the FRC with the 'happy' couple'.

I remember the questioning and I think it was back on FORT. Maybe Kasha can remember.

The rude comment by mom: thought it was appropriate in this context

I also thought mom interrupted Clare to make it clear to Clare that it was rude to make her cry (perhaps sensing that Clare didn't quite get it. It has been discussed here that Clare seemed to be mad one minute in NZ then suddenly it wasn't a problem anymore even though many didn't feel his explanation was satisfactory).

I thought it was a good thing for Clare to mention. It's speed dating on this show so it would be odd perhaps in real life on a first meet the parents but not so much on the Bach timeline.

Clare isnt thinking too deeply imo. She is so into the process, and in that bubble and has not given real life a thought. I really hope she learns and grows from whatever happens. F1 or Not.

I've felt the same. It's worrisome.

From the top of my head, just last season with Sean...

Really? I have no recollection of that. Perhaps you could elaborate because this is an important issue for sleuthers.

The other thing I don't remember is the photos turning out to be deceptive. There's speculation at times based on what a person believes is going to happen (when it looks bad for their person) but that doesn't mean it actually happened. These photos are for the media so they leave them alone from what I can tell. The iffy things are SCs from previews because those do get altered such as the color of Melissa's dress & flipping shots. That's why we have to pay attention to details in SCs and the sleuthers do catch these things.  :Nod:

It was brought up and proven that SCs have been altered(changes to dress color), but not the time stamp. There's been a lot of speculation about altering time stamp, but I am pretty sure nothing has ever been proven. I know that JBF would remember that tidbit.

^^ I believe it was the time for Linday's arrival and the letter that had been altered. I also remember that some funky business was up with Deanna's FRC.

This is speculation, it is not proof that time stamps were altered we would need something much more concrete than what you said above. This season Mr Write said he examined the photos in relation to the angle of the sun and the time stamps and concluded the time stamps were accurate.
