According to a leaked synopsis, viewers can look forward to watching the season finale episode alongside a studio audience and special guests: Chelsie, Kat, Kelly, Renee and Sharleen from Season 18 of “The Bachelor,” and recent “Bachelor/Bachelorette” success stories Sean and Catherine Lowe, and Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried.

Thanks. Have they ever had rejected contestants in the audience at the Finale before ? I don't think so.

Didn't they have some of Sean's rejected girls at his live showing? I'm pretty sure Lesley Murphy was there, but I don't remember who else.

^^Lesley, AshLee, Jackie and Sarah.

Si, no problemo...

May I also just say how much the pillow in these caps reminded me of the Sharleen pillow caps. Don't worry, I checked...not the same pillow. I thought for a fleeting moment that I figured out TPTB's shenanigans...but alas, I did not...

There is the Grapefruit Pucker in the second row. We can blow those up. Funny how we have turned this thread into a screencap thread.

Clare's expression is very happy and relaxed...not the crying one we are left with where she is upset on the bed during the LCD.

If you look to the right of Nikki you can see what appears to be the same kind of flowers so I think the SCs of Clare are also in St Lucia. The show travels with staging items so the rest is probably from their stock.

Of course...and yes, our threads have started to overlap quite a bit...oops! If I get anymore screen cap requests, I'll dump them in the screen cap thread. Nikki fans, I'll get caps for you, but I need to know what you want. Still trying to #bafap.

Thanks for doing that Litta. Now those don't look like a guy has checked out of the situation. In fact, they look like he's more invested than ever.

What about the blue curtain, the candles that don't look like Nikki's and vases are different.

bean, I saw your post on this the other day and spent some time trying to see if the vase was the same in the caps...it was inconclusive so I didn't post anything. Your point is very possible.

The thing that bothers me is that we have had so many St. Lucia PIs (from Juan, Andi, Nikki and Clare herself) with clearly St Lucia hotel room backgrounds...including one of Nikki on her LCD. Why did TPTB bother to make a room that looks bland and just like LA for Clare's PIs?...and only Clare's PIs. It doesn't make sense to me.

Seriously, this season is perplexing my brain...just like I don't understand all these deleted Clare scenes being thrown our way right now. It's crazy...but it keeps pointing me in the direction of Clare. Truthfully, I want to see if I've overlooked something with Nikki, but I just can see it.

I'm going to go back through the preview again to be sure, but I don't think we have any evening LCD with Nikki and Juan...just Nikki alone and crying. Why only that? Sooo confusing!!!

ITA that the time travel caps are the most confusing of this season and come monday we will get that clarity.

However to your other point, keeping with the trend of the entire season, Nikki has been more hidden in terms of previews and released stuff so it is not confusing that her scenes are not released at the end either.

Wasn't that true of JP of Ashley's season?

I don't think Juan looks any different in the above screencaps than when she arrived "knocked up" out of the limo.

Agree, Clare dominated preseason & most episode previews and keeps popping up during episodes. Nikki had the shortest hometown edit and because her preview/sneak peak time is often limited we seem to always have to wait to see Nikki.

Still can't get over the amount of minutes Andi got in the FS preview and when the episode aired. That really was the only time Clare wasn't prominent.
