The Bachelorette 10 - *Final 1-F2* - Speculation * Sleuthing - Spoilers*

It would be great if it were Marcus. But my gut tells me "no".
The midwest is a great place to grow up!

Nick said he loved her folks in the video. So do we believe he met Andi's parents and that will place him in final 2? Of course you never know if TPTB decided all final 3 meet parents...

TBH, I really think she had the best overall reaction to Marcus night one (even slightly better than Josh). She took his hands to hold (or check out   ) out of the limo, was really interested in their conversation. She even mentioned his hometown date, like JP did with Nikki, I think. And basically she just gazed and grinned at him.

I get it's just a first impression and that can change quickly. Also I think the quick witty banter thing with Josh and his overt confidence (plus that he's trying really, really hard to win her from minute one, IMO) is probably like catnip to her and will just add to list of reasons she finds him a great fit.

The best clues to f1 are always what the contestants are doing post show. Ben tweeting/flirting with girls, Brooks going on a cruise, etc. so we can rule Nick out with his instagramming. The other 3, especially totally silent Marcus and Chris, are fair game. I'm excited to stalk the $!&$ out of them this summer personally  

ETA: My own personal opinion is that Andi will go with both her logic and her heat/chemistry and choose the perfect fit Josh.

We've already had her sister appear on Epi 1 & know Hy was at the m&g so 3 or more could, at some point, meet her parents. There was nothing in the preview prior to her sister appearing, or of Hy, so I think something other than only final 2 shouldn't be ruled out.

Preach girl! Haha

That tells me he's not home. I don't think that guarantees that he's at a safe house visit, but the timing is definitely funny. Either way I do feel like Andi is 100% having her safe house visit this weekend because this weekend marks two weeks since the FRC. It's usually every other weekend the couple meets up. I think I read that usually they start on Thursday or Friday. Andi and Josh have both "favorited" tweets, but neither of them have actually sent out a tweet, but that could mean nothing.

Just my honest opinion, but I'm really starting to be sold on the fact Nick isn't her F1. I'm actually more inclined that if it isn't Josh, that it could be Chris, but I can't get those videos from Nick on the plane out of my head.  

Good point, Ash. Sabel, his babe, left in Tampa is a valid rationale to think that Josh is the F1. If he is not the F1, he would be able to take care of her by himself, just as he did pre filming. The fact that he needed to leave Sabel at his parents's house in Tampa suggesting he has to leave her regularly, and I'm leaning bc of a series of secret rendesvouzs.

I totally agree- and I think I even said so a couple of days ago.

Hey Kasha
IF the Nick airplane video is legitimate, then Josh is F1 and neither Chris nor Marcus can be possibilities.

Reasoning:
Nick mentions Josh by name in the video.
(As well, Nick mentions the name 'Josh' without explanation as to who Josh is, as if the person he is speaking to would know who 'Josh' is or what "Josh' represents in this season.)

In the video, Nick says that Andi 'changed her mind at the last minute', and that he met her family.
If the video is legitimate, 'meeting her family' proves that he is in the F2.

If the video is legitimate, mentioning Josh by name means that Josh is the other person in the F2.
If the video is legitimate, and he is communicating to someone that he was rejected, then Josh is absolutely F1.

If the video is legitimate - and not part of a complex foiler- then neither Marcus nor Chris can be possibilities.

The only way that Marcus or Chris 'could be considered possibilities' is IF the tape is a contrived production, or as Alanna put it- "conspiracy".
And IF it is a contrived production, then Nick can not be counted out either.

IF the video is legitimate, Josh is the F1, Nick is the F2. No other possibilities.

Nick did say on the Airplane : love her relationship with both parents . IMO this suggests an MTP at the finale.

To me everyday we get more and more signs that its Andi and Josh in the end.

* Nick posted a pic he was with friends and he tweeted he went to church
* Josh and Andi have both been pretty quiet on social media except for a few favourites/instagrams posted at similar times.
* Andi also posted on Kelly's instagram and Kelly said "get back to Atlana" which means she is still in LA probably with Josh.
* Mabel is still with his family

All signs point to love hehe

Is there any thought that Andi might have decided to date both Josh and Nick after the filming - and make her decision at the ATFR show ? This keeps the final result completely secret which TPTB obviously want. I was thinking that perhaps Nick thought he had it in the bag but then Andi told him that she wanted to date both. There is something hard to grasp about the airplane recording - especially because we are sure the contestants are quite aware of the rules. Then the photo shows up of Nick with the earbuds and the 5'oclock shadow. I'm waiting for a little more proof about Josh being F1 - looks very possible but not necessarily a sure thing.
