RE F4: Chris gets a HTD: look at the preview again, and note that they are kissing *in a cornfield.*  
ITA re: Josh and BIP.  Too much bravado/swagger for my tastes.  
Marcus reminds me of Reid and Drew, who were two of my faves.
Brian seems to be the dark horse in this race.
Nick's statement in the long preview about losing the one you found is either foreshadowing (she doesn't choose him) or a hint (she does choose him).  Ah, those tricky editors.
One thing I'm looking for is someone with an equally rewarding (financially and mentally) career as Andi's.  

OK, back to the kitchen.

*highfives* on Reid and Drew, in2deep! (check out my siggy!)

You're spot on re Marcus! He does have the F3 (F2) vibe!   haha And yeah, Nick really is our man at this point unless he does something that makes him F2!

We are at 10 now - she needs to get rid of two or even three. I predict that Cody goes at his 1-on-1 for lack of a great connection, and that Patrick goes at the RC because he hasn't had a connection and he still doesn't get a 1-on-1(Josh has the other 1-on-1). I'd see Andrew leaving ,too, if she axes another. Then we would have (in no particular order) Nick, Josh, Marcus, Brian, Dylan, Farmer Chris, marquel, and JJ.

I think the only HTD pic we have is Farmer Chris, right?

I just think that ep 5 is going to fill in loads of clues for us unspoiled folks. I really need to see her 1-on1's with Josh and Brian to figure out who I think is her "true" F4 vs. the bring along to the end F4 because they could be candidates for Bachelor or Bachelor in Paradise. I am purposefully not hanging out on the spoiler side for BIP as I don't want to know who leaves in these next few weeks.

And thank you Cari for bringing over those caps on sleuthing letter writer. All I can see is our mystery writer is NOT Nick based on handwriting comparison but does wear a pinkie ring. Do we think Farmer Chris wears a pinkie ring? I just so happen to know someone who grew up on a farm in Iowa and he wears a 1) wedding band and 2) a watch ... and that's about as fancy as he gets!! I see Josh or Patrick or Andrew  as being more the pinky ring type but hey that's just me.

BUT ... with TPTB frothing over the thought of having a Millionaire Farmer Bachelor, I could see them putting Chris up to the letter writing to give him screen time and up his like-ability rating with fans. Chris Harrison sure gives him plenty of shout-outs even though I saw zero chemistry between those Andi and Farmer Chris so producers need to do something to justify him lasting until final 3-6 so that he can slide into Bachelor role (that is if Josh has not already claimed it!)

MVMOM!!   

I'm loving your thoughts! We're most of the time the same page except for Josh.   

Before Episode 3, my F1 bets were a toss between Marcus and Josh. And Marcus as my F1 peg! I felt frustrated watching Marcus on Episode 3. He did look "desperate". I was looking forward to his one on one date but it fell short compared to Nick's one on one :(I know it's just me but i thought Andi was not as enthusiastic as she was previously. She was sorta pulling back.    Yeah, it's just me. I'd probably change my mind again about him in the future episodes!   

After watching Episode 3 & 4, Nick V shot right up as my F1! I love it that he approached this process realistically. A wait and see if he'll click with Andi, admitting he has a crush on her during Episode 3  :P (Unlike Marcus who's already in love! haha) At Episode 4, Andi said of Nick, "I feel he sees me, he sees every part of me. It's very powerful. " Then Nick V said "I 100% met someone who i could spend the rest of my life with. I wake up and i think about Andi. I like to think she feels exactly the same way..." Suhweeettt! i like how it's a slow build. So, yeah, MVMom! Highfives on Nick V as F1! However, I'm (needlessly) worrying that Nick would be the one to make her cry in the future episodes. That she would be Andi's "Frank", "Bentley" and "Brooks". You know, the "no fairytale" in future episodes. I do hope not!

Then, Josh!    I've said like MVMom that he's too "next Bachelor" for me. BUT, i'm super loving their banter! It's like they know each other for many years now. Their body language is amazing especially when Andi pinched his cheek! How cute was that! I find him funny and the guys seem to like him. Yeah, totally The Next Bachelor Package, right? Well, if he is not F1 then he should be (if not, please let it be Brian!) Aside from their obvious comfortability and chemistry, I think Andi would choose him because he's also from Atlanta. She does not need to move, right? haha I've been wondering why TPTB is showing Josh and Andi's combustible chemistry so much, that only means he is not F1, right? I've a theory. TPTB is not hiding the love story of Josh and Andi because of the anticipation of the Eric backlash. Perhaps, in the hopes that the fans would eventually "forget" episode 4 because of the love story/ies haha THAT is, IF Nick V is not F1.   

hmmm the bachelors are pulling a Jeremiah of Sweet Home Alabama!   Also, i agree that it is Josh who wrote the letter!

eta:

check out NO Discussion at the Screen Cap Section! I think it's Chris!

It's not just you on Marcus, she was pulling back and not as into him as she was previously. Who says their falling in love with someone on their first date? WAY to soon! As for Josh, I think he's had more camera time than anyone else, seems like it anyway. F1 or next bach. Yep, and I have a feeling one of Andi's favs, most likely Nick (as I stated earlier) will do something she doesn't like...I can't wait to find out why she breaks down! 

Great caps Auntie's Love & awesome sleuthing as always Litta! Nice find.
