I have thought the majority on this board believed Clare is the F1.

differently not……most have Nikki as F1 and see a better connection then Clare and JP…..I would say 70% are teamNikki….just saying….I think Nikki is F1 because of the reasons most here do…..but I am openly a Clare fan and like the JP with Clare better then with Nikki.

Well, the poll at the end of the video stated nikki as 62%, so wouldn't the real surprise ending be that he picks Clare?? Also, don't think the drama is much at all to do with that.

I don't get the Clare bashing when she didn't give half the drama of what Juan Pablo has from what I read.

there is always a little drama with the ladies….usually with the F1, remember Brad 2.0 and Emily LCD it didn't go well.
But, jps cousin said Drama with one of the woman and love with another woman IIRC. So the drama part would refer to Clare leaving the love for Nikki jmo

ETA: for some reason, my reply wasn't posted:

I don't know if it was more of a generalization tweet of there being drama and love on the finale. Somehow that got attributed to one of the words being attributed to one woman and another word being attributed to the other woman. If you have the tweet, I'd love to see it again.

With less than two hours til showtime, I'm still going with Clare as F1. Heck, why change my guess now, right?! giggling

That said, the theory that Clare walks away by choice is the only one in my mind that makes sense for those final PIs (which I still believe are post-filming in LA...I know others disagree). If she left by her own decision, Clare going to LA to help TPTB fill in the storyline seems possible. Perhaps she was hoping for better things (The Bachelorette?) or she was just wanting to hold her head high...who knows? Whatever the reason, this seems like a more reasonable explanation to me than the possibility of a rejected F2 doing those PIs.

BUT, like I said, my guess is still Clare as F1.

Post show, I think it will be interesting to analyze the actions of TPTB in editing, previews, social media, etc. to see how they have tried to discredit the spoilers or not...and if they were successful or not. Hopefully, there will be people willing to stick around to discuss this so we'll be better prepared in the future to recognize their tactics. Having both Des's and Juan Pablo's seasons to look at, maybe we can begin to see a new pattern emerge.

Happy viewing, everyone! wine

Yea, she also posted something else from LA when she got there. By that time JP was in Vegas. Now Clare arrived in LA last night which is in line with what Catherine did in her season(arriving night before finale) but if memory serves me, Lindsay arrived a few days ahead.

Rolly is eating popcorn, but I am sticking to choc-O-late. Yeah, I've tasted octopus before but I am not a fan of it. (I too am quite certain The Princess will be crowned tonight. I just hope the Nurse handles it well... or not. I do love a little "crazy" in the finale.)

Does anyone know who gets the first MTP Date?

It is amusing to me how each of these past contestants have different opinions on Clare and even Nikki for that matter. Trista has the opposite opinion about Clare and how she comes across on the show. I guess just like us here, this pple have their own personal biases that shapes their opinion and at the end, it is their opinion and not the gospel truth. You will think these ex-contestants having experienced first hand how pple can be negative and say lies that can hurt deeply, that this alone will make them a little bit more supportive of current contestants but

VERY well put!! I honestly don't understand all the Clare bashing. Yea, she can be a little over the top sometimes, but SERIOUSLY?? Reminds me of all the Chris bashing of last season.

by quietpal Mon Mar 10, 2014 7:52 pm

Well, since others are stating who is F1, I'm going to stick with Nikki. I liked what the edit has shown me on screen of their connection. Regardless, the finale should be "shocking"-or not! :shocked!:

So true...If Clare is the F1, watch out cause this board will be electrified!!

After having been off the board for most of the season, I found in reading that the most vocal, most posts were pro Clare. Not that it means most were for Clare as opposed to Nikki, just that those for Clare posted more. I can see him with either. I do see more of a connection with Nikki beyond physical and that is why she is my pick to "win". I have no problem with Clare at all. And as I suggested before, I do think she says no before he does. Doesn't really matter in my life. I hope the best for all of them.
