*NO SPOILERS* The Bachelorette 10 - Episode Discussion

Loved reading your thoughts Lost and MVMom!  I'm right on target with you've said, too.  Lost, I can't get into Marcus either.  He's not hot to me, but Andi is WAY into him.

I have a top six too and some maybes.  In no particular order:

1.  Chris - He loves her ALREADY.  I think she's drawn to the IDEA of him -- he's the stable, sincere nice guy.  But, their chemistry was a little strange.  He was very forward kissing her, but she kept pulling back.  Is it just me or does he have a strange high pitched voice?  It's irritating coming out of that body.  And, with that chin, I just can't get Dudley Do-right out of my mind ...



He sure did declare his feelings about her right off.  I can see him F4, because TPTB will want to showcase his HT.  But no way will she pick him.  I think she admires his work ethic and lifestyle though.  Could be the next bachelor (a return to the committed, dependable Sean type), but he's going to have to work on that voice.

2.  Brian  Such a cutie but he's clearly nervous around her.  He reminds me so much of Doug from Emily's season.  A little hidden so far, but I think she likes him and will definitely give him a 1-1 to see if there's anything there.  

3.  Josh  If I had to pick a F1 now, he's it.  Gosh, their chemistry is off the chart!  He could barely keeps his hands off her and if she'd leaned in more closely, she would've been in his lap.  It reminded me of Sean-Catherine in episode 4, so I'm surprised TPTB would be showing their hand this early.  He is absolutely adorable.  No doubt a F4.  They would probably love him for the Bachelor.

4.  Ron  Very hidden and quiet so far, but he could be a sleeper for F4.  I want to know more about him.

5.  Nick V There's something there since TPTB had champagne available for their time together.  I think they are attracted to each other, but there's something off about him too -- maybe it's his smile.  He seems a little tentative.

6.  Marcus  She likes him a TON.  Giving him the group date rose was reassuring him and she talked about he was a calming influence after the Craig debacle.  He doesn't look too into her yet, but I think she'll give him a 1-1 date soon to keep him invested in "the journey".  

Could sneak into F4:
1.  Patrick  Really cute, but I'm thinking either he or Andrew are the "girlfriend back home" drama guy.  Can't believe we've got that AGAIN.
2.  Andrew He comes across as a  little negative, so I don't think he'll make it to HTs, but there's something intriguing about him.
2.  Dylan  Hidden so far, (except for the CH butt slap -- WTH?).  He was very nervous last night too, but is so cute I think she'll give him a shot.
3.  JJ  He seems fun loving and quirky.  I can see Andi pulling him along to F4 if they have any chemistry.

Never gonna happen:
Cody  One word:  Ugh  (She will keep him a long time, though because:  abs)
Marquel  Dude -- Are you colorblind?  You need Garanimails to color code, buddy.  That wardrobe choice blew his chances with Andi and any shot at F4.
Brett  He's cute, but haven't seen anything between them so far.  And, for a hairstylist, the hair is an F.  I think he's gone next week.
Bradley  He seems smart and thoughtful, but not enough personality.  Unless he steps it up in episode 3, he's gone next week, too.
Tasos  He was the narrator this episode and they didn't have any chemistry.  Probably gone by episode 4 or 5.  Disappointing because he was great on the first episode.

In 12 years of watching this show, last night was the first time I sobbed my eyes out.  Eric's date with Andi made me wish he could have been the next bachelor.  I loved every minute he was on the screen, and I hope whatever led him to leave early is handled with grace and dignity.  If eyes show the true nature of the soul, Eric was a sweet sweet spirit.

Current predictions for BIP cast:  Marquel, Patrick and maybe Marcus if he doesn't warm up to Andi and leaves early.

Great observations guys! I didn't get to watch last night's epi yet so I will post my thoughts later. I am hoping to stay unspoiled and hopefully will have the time to watch and post in the next couple episodes.

Looking forward to reading it, Peppermom! I am hoping to say unspoiled too.

Does anyone know who the guy in the pool with Craig was?

That was Nick Sutter

Ron is so mysterious and hidden, I don't know which one he is!   I still have no idea who Brett and Bradley are either. Going to have a look at the cast!

So far, she's most into Josh and Marcus. There's an on camera character to Andi this season or maybe she's just easy to read. I thought she was playing the part of the bachelorette on her date with Chris and not really into him.

I'd like to see more of Dylan and Brian. I thought the previews show that Andrew is the one with the girlfriend? He looks a bit like Joshua Jackson to me. Marquel's socks matched the pillows! Anyone notice? He's a funny guy, but don't see a match.

Top 4- Josh, Marcus, Nick V?, ? Not sure yet, too soon.

Was there an extended preview for this season? Can someone please post a link if so. I may get spoiled if I go looking for it. tia.

When Josh said he hadn't dated anyone in 5 years, did he mean he hasn't had a girlfriend or that he's been celibate? I'd guess the first.

Always Tulips ... Hilarious description of Chris!! He does look like Dudley!! I can't figure out if I think he is hot or not. We are of like minds except I like Marcus so far and see warning signs flashing with Josh. Not sure if I am buying what he is selling (ex pro ball player all tongue tied around her ... saying that he has never felt this way before ... seems all too soon and more for cameras). But if Josh is sincere, I'd be huge fan of his. Maybe guys are intimidated by her brains and beauty. Who knows ...

Grace ... So far I have yet to see an extended preview which is fine with me. It seems like they only gave previews for first few episodes. I bet we see more after ep4 next week.

I agree with anyone thinking Chris is producer pick for possible next Bachelor.

Sadly dreamer is not posting clips and SCs this season so you guys can't go there either (that is non-spoiler).

**This** is exactly what bothers me about the guy.

I was able to watch but only off and on. I want to rewatch but probably won't be able to until Saturday. I'll post my thoughts then if anyone is still interested. I've enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts!

Of course LibbyB! We non spoiled need to stick together and get some good conversation flowing. It's still early but hope after next week, there will be more folks coming out of lurkdom. But, of course, that's all up to Andi, her suitors and TPTB. If they are not putting out a quality product, there sure won't be too many folks wanting to talk about it!

I need to focus on major work project so most likely won't be active here again until next Monday/Tuesday.

Enjoy!!

 :cutesmile!: 

Glad more have joined in, love reading everyone's thoughts...I agree with a lot of them! MVMom & married, I also was thinking the same about Josh, I guess we'll see as the season goes along. I do hope he is sincere too.

alwaystulips-agree about Brett, change that hair! The lamp thing was weird, not a good first impression, that turned me off. 

You all were mentioning Ron and I had to think there for a minute trying to remember who his is!

grace there was a bit of an extended preview after the first episode. I'm no sleuther but it sounded like they mentioned Venice, France, & Brussels and they showed a train too. And of course some drama between some of the guys and Andi looking really upset. I'd like to know who upset her that badly!
