*NO SPOILERS* The Bachelorette 10 - Episode Discussion

Glad to have your insight Nd4! I love how things sometimes reflect what was done in the past and how sometimes they take that past and flip it to keep us unspoiled guessing. I see where Chris and Andi are kissing in a cornfield I2D. Quick thought to the first of the F4!

Coming out of lurkdom to respond to this question because I just looked it up myself and found Josh's linkedin. He's a financial services representative.

  Al, out of lurkdom!

You can think what you want, buddy, but use the filter between your brain and your mouth.

Nick V ("she's my girl") and Josh ("I don't want anyone else talking to you") also go down a peg in my book for their public possessive posturing. Take a page from guys like JP, who had strong feelings but were more mellow...

The bolded part is a voice over so we don't know if it's Nick V for sure.

Do they have a history of showing one guy's pic and vo'ing with another guy's voice?  IDK, but, in any case, Nick V. is setting off some bells in my head.

Yes.
In Des' season there was a VO of someone talking saying "He's going down in Flames". I don't remember who actually said it but it was said about the Doctor guy. However it was Brooks that it was shown against. Brooks ended up going down in Flames.
There are other examples of it working the opposite way as well. Last season (JaunP) when CH (in ep2 ) was talking  to the group of girls explaining the process of the show. When he said the words "you should not accept a rose if you don't feel it" the camera panned to Nikki.  Not sure if that one was deliberate or not but it made me think that at some point she would not accept his rose. Well we all know how that one turned. (I watched and posted non-spoiled last season).

(I'm spoiled but want to join in the conversation if it relates to a previous season etc. Hope ya'll don't mind. I know that I shouldn't argue for or against anyone since that was how I myself clued in last season (Unspoiled) as to who was the spoiled F1   ).


BTW - I love reading what you guys find in watching the episodes and will probably take your posts across to the spoiler side for them to discuss there. Hope that is fine with you guys.

ITA ND, I am spoiled, but like reading the non spoiled comments. There is something innocent and genuine about the non-spoiled, so I will be visiting from time to time. No worries, I will not spill the beans.

This is the first time in years I've been deemed "innocent."    Thanks, Maggenzm!

Pleasure is all mine!!!

Marcus is some yummy eye candy! He definitely got my attention with that officer and a gentleman strip show! Wowza!

I don't know why I can't get into Marcus...2 of the FF's were smokin' hot though!    As for a strip tease for a group date, not something I'd choose, but to each their own.

Perfect first date, I'd love that-beach to snow AND roasting marshmallows, fun! It's weird watching them though and knowing what happened to Eric, I can just imagine how those close to him feel. At least he seemed to have led a pretty full life, it sure was an interesting one.

Some of the outfits these guys wear, Marquel being one of them! Too quirky for me, but I'm sure someone loves his style, . And lots of bowties this season, not into those either!

Josh, love how he put his hand on her face to get her to stop looking at him, that was cute. He seems smitten already, and Andi already is...she was definitely wanting that kiss! Which leads me to Chris and his date in which Andi seemed to be pulling away from his kisses.

I didn't want Carl to leave yet!! Not surprised Craig & Nick S didn't get a rose.

Looking forward to the guys singing next week, haha!

It's early, but for a F4 I'm guessing...Josh, Marcus, Nick V (not into him at all-so I hope not) and I know someone on here mentioned Chris in the preview but I'd like it to be Patrick or Dylan instead. Hopefully Patrick isn't the one that gets her all upset next week.

Wow, thank you for answering my question!

Okay, so since Andi cut three last night, I am cutting my top 10 list to top 7 (and new order):

1- Marcus ... watch who the Bachelorette chases and not other way around. Curious that he did not get a video package on ABC.com posted (last I looked anyhow) but got first date group rose, a solo strip (nice!) and looks to be getting one on one date.

2 - No date Nick V ... hmmm ... also did not get a video package on ABC and no date ep 2, but the Bachelorettes generally let the first impression rose guy or guys they are confident about skip the first group date but reward with date following week, which seems to happen w/ Nick V based on preview. So I am thinking he will either get kicked off in next couple episodes or make it to top 2 with Marcus.  

3- Josh a.k.a. Arie ... so our financial advisor has TONS of chemistry with Andi and they are letting us see it. He also got the first kiss AND a nice video package on ABC. But, I don't buy that he hasn't had a date in five years (???) and I don't trust the producers when they show us this much chemistry early on so I am thinking he lasts until final 3 and then is firm candidate for next Bachelor along with ...

4 - Farmer Chris for Bachelor... such a sweet guy, good looking guy, sincere guy ... BUT ... not Andi's guy. Their chemistry is off. I am sure that the producers are wanting to keep him around to see how audiences react to him. Would be interesting choice for next Bachelor and the polar opposite of Juan Pablo. Middle America would rejoice.

5 - Coach Brian ... She sure seemed to be digging his stripper moves and he could be our little under dog.

6- JJ the pants seller ... another guy without a date. She either is confident that she likes him ... or ... he gets the boot in next few episodes. He got a video package so I know that he's smart and from cool city of San Francisco. I think she gives him a shot.

7- Mysterious Ron ... my daughter's pick ... thinks he could go to number 1. He's got a way about him ... very confident and good looking in a quiet manner.

MAYBE's....
1- Marquel and his cookies ... well, after seeing his video package, he's clearly a very hot guy and a very sweet guy but I don't think that living in Vegas with a guy who obsessively makes cookies in his spare time is her thing.
2 - Dylan ... so I know that he's got a very sad story to share and I am sure that ABC will give him the time to share it. But I have to say his little lap dance for CHris was just a bit strange. I liked him a lot on ep 1 but gotta move him down here to the maybe's.
3 - Patrick  ... Super super fine looking dude but I smell trouble with him. No one needs to verify this but I am guessing he's the one with girlfriend. He's too hot not to have a girlfriend.
4 - Tasos - Hmm ...I liked his video package, seems very kind and sweet BUT not thinking he's the one for Andi

MATTER of TIME ...
1  - Andrew ... seems to be causing trouble in future episodes
2 - Bradley Opera Singer ... sure they made her keep him for the singing episode next week. He just looks too dough boy'ish.
3 - Cody Personal trainer ... nothing nice to say so will refrain. Oh, he does have fantastic abs.
4 - Bret Hairstylist ... seems sweet but I am not digging his hair do

So that's the viewpoint of an innocent   non spoiled ... I think that I will be able to call final four after next two episodes ...

Love it Mom and Lost!!! Thanks for taking the time to put this all together. Do you mind if I share it in the spoiler thread?

Good Job guys.
MVMmom - I have always been a fan of your posts so please keep them coming.
Oh and that line "watch who the lead chases not the other way around". Words of wisdom and makes viewing interesting while watching this crazy show.

ETA : I'm going to take some of your posts across to the spoiler section so that we have an "innocent" (in2deep) POV and can discuss there. Thanks.

Hi Guardian and ND4 !! Sure, share my posts. I am just surprised that nd4 is spoiled already. Last season didn't you stay spoiler free? I will miss having you here on the non spoiled side!!!!!!!!!!! You need to try to post unbiased.

I am going to give it at least two more episodes and see where I stand. If I really like a few guys, I will stay spoiler free at least until F4. If I start to not care about this season, I will become spoiled.

That said I am curious to see how this edit is handled ... if producers are hiding her favorites until ep 4-5 or if they are keeping them front & center from the start.

Will the front and center boys (Marcus, Josh, Chris and, to a point, Nick V) go all the way or will we see those background boys (JJ, Brian, Ron, Dylan and Tasos) emerge just like Catherine did in Sean's season??

Right now it feels a whole lot like an Emily season:

Farmer Chris ... Sean
Josh ... Arie
Nick V/Marcus ... the character that Jef Holm played on Bach'ette

So I am happy for now to watch it all unfold ... and hoping this side becomes more active when more folks get into the season.

Also want to give a shout out to Andi!! I am really enjoying her as Bachelorette so far and loving her outfit choices. She looks amazing.

Hi MVMom - I could not hold out non-spoiled because I was curious about the guys that were going to be on her season. Once I started getting a few (spoiled) favorites I decided that I needed to hear the entire spoiler as well.
I think for the Bachelor I would be able to stay away easier. It is possible that others feel the same way.
Hopefully others like in2deep and others will be on here posting what they see as well so that you don't feel all alone.

Spoiled or non-spoiled - I always develop a favourite (for the Bachelorette) and that puts bias into my posts anyway  . I am not one of the Spoiled F1 followers so there's that.

On the plus side, ep3 and 4 are supposed to be airing back to back so it will make it easier (not that long) for you to stay unspoiled longer.
At the risk of repeating myself - glad to see you all posting.
