I'm really sorry! I thought this was the spoiler thread.

I'm really sorry!  I thought this was the spoiler thread.  

No problem, easy to do on a night like this! I kind of figured on the one thing anyway.  

Double wow! What an episode. I agree with posted thoughts. I am very surprised that they showed the full argument between Andi and Eric. I too understood what he was trying to say but it just didn't translate well. She is trying very hard to establish special and unique bonds with each guy ... esp since she accused Juan Pablo of not doing so ... so it must have hurt her feelings to hear his judgment.

BUT ... Eric was correct... there are times when she has to "be" the gracious Bachelorette and that's a job in itself. I think he's just such a real, down to earth guy and as a result he didn't understand that she had to put on her game face to keep the Matter-of-Time Guys on board for several weeks even though she'd be just as happy letting them go. I also think that he was having a hard time transitioning from 1st date guy to seeing her relationships progress with others who came after him. Never easy.

I just posted a novel on my predictions for top 6 after watching ep 3. I am keeping the final 6 as I last called it but moving them around some:

1. Nick - did you see her pull him in for a kiss? they seemed to have a special one on one. And ... she could have easily brought in the losing team (w/ Josh, Chris, JJ, etc) to join her but she seemed more than happy to stick with Rosebud team, which included Nick, Brian, Marquel, etc.
2. Marcus - GREAT date!! Forget what I wrote up above about being on different pages. I think he goes far.
3. Josh - no time together but it looks like he finally gets his 1-on-1 in ep 5
4. Chris - another good guy and possible Bachelor candidate
5. Brian - they've got chemistry! He's super sweet.
6. JJ - just because he's a good guy and easy to be around

Just a matter of time for everyone else although it was fun to see the bond that she has with Marquel. He's a sweetie for sure. And, Dylan, such a sad story but I saw zero chemistry.

QUESTIONS ... not sure if these are spoilers but ...

Do you think we'll find out who wrote Andi the secret admirer letter on ep 5? I don't want to know WHO wrote the letter until it's revealed on air ... I just want to know IF we'll find out in two weeks.

Does anyone know why we have to wait two weeks for episode 5?

Thanks all!!

5. Coach Brian ... I am just adding him here because my daughter thinks he could be this season's hidden Catherine. It looks like he might get a date in ep 4 (either that or won alone time on group date) so willing to see if he's got half a shot at F1. I am not sure if he's enough of a challenge for her but we'll see. He's a teacher and coach and I don't think that we've ever seen a teacher crack top 4 on Bachelorette.

I just wanted to respond to the highlighted. Chris L on Ali's season was actually a teacher...studying to become a principal....until his mom got sick and he went back home to take care of her with his dad and his brothers. He then went into the family landscape business.

I don't think anyone knows when we will find out about the anonymous letter. As for why we the wait for the next episode, apparently it is because of some Hillary Clinton interview next week and they didn't want to compete against that. Don't know why since I'm not sure that that many people will be watching her and don't know that the people who watch her would necessarily watch this show, but what do I know.

Just wanted to chime in that from sleuthing folks don't know who the letter writer is. They are going to try and match up his silhouette when they can.

Obviously RS has spilled the beans but his spoiler has not been validated (regarding the anonymous letter writer and actually about a lot of stuff   ).

Thanks Sprite and ND4! My unspoiled opinion is that letter writer is Nick as that's who immediately came to my mind when I saw the blurred figure writing. Hair color and texture seemed good fit.

I have always managed to watch and not be swayed spoiled or unspoiled and I have called the winner on many recent seasons. I called Emily for Brad, called Catherine fo Sean, called Chris for Des, and called Nikki for JP. I didnt finish watching Emily's season, and I suspected JP for Ashley but was not 100%.
I tend to watch who the lead is chasing and not who is chasing the lead. and the only person she is chasing now is Nick. Others she is reacting to.
Watching this season, her F4 right now imo will be Nick, Marcus, Josh and Chris. it may of course change.
I like all four( she got really good guys), but Josh is my least favorite. I see him as a winner and not necessarily about what he feels for her.
Still early days, and looking forward to spending it on this unspoiled side.  

MVM-I DO hope she ends up with Nick in the end, since I'm not really into either one-perfect pair! I'd rather have any of the other top 3 or Brian (which I agree with your F5) as next bachelor! Actually, Dylan would be my pick for next Bach, but that'll never happen.

As of now:
1. Nick/Josh (Still debating this, since I think someone hurts her deeply (fairytale comment in first episode preview) and since she's closest to these two I think it's one of them?? Can't see it being Josh though, he's like a school kid, haha.
3. Marcus
4. Chris
5. Brian
6. Dylan 

nd-love it when RS gets it wrong!

Sprite thanks for the info, I know what I'd MUCH rather watch!

see-who the lead is chasing is always telling!

Spoilers not withstanding here are my F1-F4 lists after episodes 3 and 4

Episode 3
F1 - Nick
F2/F3 - Interchangeable between Josh and Marcus
F4 - Chris and JJ vying for the spot

Episode 4
F1 - Nick
F2 - Marcus
F3 - Brian
F4 - Josh, Chris, and JJ vying for the spot

I'm sure it will change in a couple of weeks, we'll see.

I'm usually spoiled, but decided not to this time since I didn't watch JP's season and knew nothing about Andi.  

I agree with a F4 of Marcus, Brian, Josh and Nick, but not sure the order yet.  Although Chris could sneak in there.  I think TPTB would like to show Chris's farm.  She does seem to be chasing Nick.  She kept saying something about "making him a believer" and he talked about believing in this.  I guess she finally gets a 1-1 with Josh in episode 5 and that should tell a lot, too.

By the kiss count it looks to be 6 guys:  Brian, Josh, Chris, Nick, JJ (pretty lame pecks tho), Marcus.  

One of the things that threw me off last night was, did Marcus actually say "I'm falling in love with you".    Wow -- that's usually heard at FS dates or the earliest at HTDs.  It's only been 2 weeks since they came to the house.  Could he peak too soon? 

Thanks Sprite for the letter info.  Obviously, Marcus didn't write the letter cause he's already declared his luuuuuurve.  Doesn't seem a Joshy thing to do -- he'd take credit and never sign it secret admirer.  Nick's already written her a signed note.  Maybe Chris or Brian?  Or weirdly, could it be Cody?  He seems more shy than I thought.  I can't really get a handle on how they are going to play him yet but I think he likes Andi a lot and is going to be hurt.

A miming group date?  Oh boy, that's going to be silly.  JJ's perfect for that.
