*NO SPOILERS* The Bachelorette 10 - Episode Discussion

In case any of you are interested, I put screen caps of the episode 6 previews in the no discussion screen cap thread.

Lost, your "Well, maybe Ryan Bowers" cracked me up.

The only ones I see her crying "real" tears over are Josh & Nick. Does Cody finally have his 1on1-I see her not giving him a rose during that, no chemistry there at all...same with JJ. Nice post Libby!

Thoughts on F4-
1. Josh-she liked him from the start, loads of chemistry on both sides, he's her "type" and she'll get over her being wary of "athletes" by the end. He's got a great edit also.
2. Nick-this is ONLY if he isn't let go next episode. She likes him but now there's a bit of doubt if he's as great as he seems. He's got a half likeable edit and half not so much. I'm not so sure HE'S as into her as she is him.
3. Marcus-She likes him, great first impression, but he keeps saying he's in love with her...should have waited...not seeing her falling for him like he has her. 
4. Brian or Chris-who exactly is he? Not shown much and what they've shown she pulled away from his kisses AND all she wanted from him on their short time together last episode was information about the other guys. Andi likes Brian, but he's not assertive enough for her. She'll keep him around for the kissing   ...and "maybe" next bach spot.

BUT if Nick leaves soon (can't wait until that fairtale comment-and see who that's about, which I'm thinking Nick, who else would it be about?) then my F4 would be-
1. Josh
2. Marcus
3. Brian
4. Chris

Ok, laugh away everyone!   

Litta thanks for the caps/also the info on T&J-makes sense.

Hi sdmom.  Haven't posted in almost a year, but have been lurking this season.  During JPs season I only watched the premiere, the HTD, and the FD episodes.  Andi was my favorite and I have enjoyed her this season, even with a melt down or two.  My F4 are as follows:

F4 Chris or Brian. I would have said Chris a couple weeks ago, but he has essentially disappeared so maybe not.  I think one of these two will end up being the "secret admirer" and that person will make it to F4 because of that over the other.

F2 and F3 fluctuate for me between Nick and Marcus.  Last week I would have said Nick as F2, but this week I'm leaning toward Marcus.  With that said she could let someone go at F4 because their feelings were so strong and she knew it would be harder for him later.  That could drop Marcus, the first to say "I'm falling in love with you", to drop to F4.  Nick would then be F2. I see Marcus as having a slight chance to be F1, but I just don't think she is as into him as he is into her.  The chances for Nick as F1 are slim to none.  I would have thought differently last week (even though I am not a Nick fan), but with the edit he is now receiving there is no way he is F1.

F1 Josh.  IMO the only way he is not F1 is if he can't completely knock down that wall Andi has up. He made great strides with her this week, but from the previews it seems a part of the wall is still up.  If she can get over how athletes have treated her in the past I think she will find what she is looking for this season.  TPTB have made it seem as if he is just your typical athlete to feed into the fears that Andi is expressing.  I'm just wondering if Andi did some post ITM's to make it seem like a horse race.  I noticed during their 1on1 time at the cocktail party during the Premiere the ITM where she questions whether he was being genuine was post show.  Everything about that ITM was different (flowers, candles, lighting,hair, make-up, missing earring), plus she was grinning from ear to ear.  Not sure that is what I would be doing if I was questioning someone sincerity.  He also seems to be intuitive.  As an example, he noticed she was stereotyping him without her say it. Everything between them seems very natural.  Enough about Josh.  I just wanted to provide a little more on him since I think he is F1.

My favs are Josh, Marcus, Eric and Dylan.

F4 IMO will go one of 2 ways:

F4 Marcus
F3 Brian or Chris
F2 Nick
F1 Josh

or

F4 Brian or Chris
F3 Nick
F2 Josh
F1 Marcus

As you can tell I am leaning heavily towards the first.  When I am unspoiled I usually wait until week 4 to really solidify my opinions, but with Josh's late 1st 1on1 I waited another week and even thought of spoiling myself a few times.  I was able to hold on and now am firmly on the unspoiled bandwagon again.......at least for another week.

Sorry for the long lost, but it's been almost a year.  I will keep it shorter next time.

He was on Emily's season.

He came in 7th I think on Emily's season-he was entertaining    and a bit full of himself. It's weird to because I think Emily's new hubby looks similar to Ryan.

GrahamGal glad you posted! Looks like most of us have the same F4s and F1.

Nice catch!

Lost, I agree with a lot of what you point out. Something I noticed in the preview, Andi seems really happy when Nick is professing his love to her. When she cries, it isn't in the dress that she is wearing on her date with Nick which leads me to think it is someone else-- possibly at the rose ceremony. When I first watched the preview, I thought Andi was frowning in the gondola. I looked at the screencaps Litta (thanks Litta!) posted in the No Discussion SC thread and I revised my thinking-- I now think that Andi came to her date with Nick in the gondola (I think he is helping her out of the gondola) and that Andi isn't crying about sending him home== at least not at this time. Chris may stay longer than I think but, I am still pretty certain he is a MOT guy.


ETA: Hi GrahamGal!! Enjoyed your post-- don't be a stranger!  

Thank you all who responded to my post. I hope you don't mind listing your F4s and why after each episode, because I am genuinely interested in what unspoiled people think. Thanks again!

Libby, I'm thinking something might happen during the cocktail party, we'll find out soon enough. Watch, the fairytale comment isn't until F2 and she ends up with no one, haha. 

sd you must like Nick!   Hope I'm wrong that Josh is F1...I'll be super happy if Nick is, I want Josh as next Bach!!  

Lost, I know what you mean-- I would love to see Josh as TB too!

Do we post SC comparisons in this thread or somewhere else? I have some things I want to point out and discuss, but not sure this is the correct place.

How did you figure that out?
