I do and I have.

He certainly is not F1 material and as we argued a lot on Des' season RE Drew - not being highlighted as next Bachelor (not enough shirtless scenes shown ).

Well he was in the 5 top to watch for a reason.

When I read Harrison's description, my reaction was this: Fleiss & Co. literally want "All of America" to think he is THE Bachelor next season.

I tell ya. I think we are being played. I loved her little speech to Eric, the guy who seemed to hang around the most with Chris and was cross-questioning her "why am I still here?". She literally goes in rage: "You have no clue how f***ing difficult it is to look in someone’s face and send them home!" Is that what Andi is doing all season long, once her "horse" won at Santa Anita?

Also they have Josh as a baseball player getting a fifth episode date with some private concert like last season's Prince Siegfried.

I still wonder if Rudie's speech in episode #1 was some sort of foreshadowing: "This is a curve ball. It is not what I expected, because when I came in here... I was aiming for the fences. Y'know I thought I was gonna hit that ball right out of the park. Everyone in my life was, like, 'Oh my gosh! Like, you guys are gonna get married and have kids!' BUT... she didn't get a feel for that with me. Maybe she just wasn't attracted to me, y'know. It didn't *click* with her. I think finding love is very important. I think I could have had that with Andi but... y'know."

I said this before. I am just collecting the Easter Eggs in my wittle basket... going back to her speech with Chris Harrison that her husband will arrive within 10 or 15 minutes (i.e. Chris was first out, second per edit). Possibly all of these Easter Eggs are actually hand grenades panted white that will go "Kaboom!" in my face when she chooses Josh, Marcus or Nick over Chris in the finale. At least I will wind up with a huge omelet either way. I am NOT taking this season as seriously as past ones.

So true.

That's the part that seems weird - it was clear last year Drew wasn't going to be anywhere near the Bachelor.  Maybe his story will ramp up later.  And usually Mills gets on the tweeting bandwagon re their bachelor potentials (or at least did with Andi last season).  Wishful thinking or do I notice him promote Marcus a bit (I actually really like Chris for Bachelor, just can't ignore my soft spot for Marcus too).

last nigh  :   If I'm going down a building I want to go down with Marcus #TheBachelorette

and a couple weeks back:      Am I the only one to see shades of Gosling in Marcus? #TheBachelorette

Ugh! The Easter Eggs won't stop! Re-watching the clips (and don't get me started with all of the funny business during the basketball game)... when Marcus and Andi discover that the guys can see them... “That’s our room”, Marcus asks “should we kiss in front of them?” Of course, Chris is shown looking up when he says that. Her response is an instant “no”.

I got the impression that Andi doesn't kiss guys in front of the others out of respect.

That is true, but it still amused me who they decided to show in that shot. I tell ya... the funny business won't stop. I won't question what it all means, but here is an incomplete list so far...

The initial seasonal promo put out by abc.com, not the one shown in episode #1, has her kissing Marcus as she says “There are things that I felt I never even knew...”, then fades to Iowa and Chris “... were possible”.

As Andi gets into her limo “Some guy is going to get out of the limo and that can be my husband. My heart is just pounding. This is the beginning…” The very next shot is a limo in the dark followed by Chris’ face as other guys are talking.

Mister Harrison: What are you so nervous about?
Andi: The thought that my husband could be in one of those limos and the fact that I could be meeting him in the next ten or fifteen minutes is just crazy.
Harrison: It is crazy to think.
Andi: I know.
Fortunately, Marcus takes under ten minutes to “wow” her, so Chris can follow him as #2 guy out, right on schedule.

Andi refuses to meet Chris Bukowski, probably because she already has the Chris she wants… in addition to two Nicks, two Joshes, a Marcus and a Marquel. By the way, when Chris is told “I got to talk to Chris” (i.e Harrison), the security guard’s badges are zoomed on by the cameraman… and sporting the number “1” and “America One”. Then… in case we didn’t catch it the first time… Bukowski asks “Can I talk to Chris?”, the badge is blown up in size so the number 1 is bigger.

Andi to Emil: "If I wasn't open to moving somewhere else, I might as well not have come here. I might as well stay in Atlanta and try to date someone there".

Within a few seconds of that statement, she says “There are great guys here. How do you, like, just pick one during the cocktail hour?”… followed by her sitdown with Chris.

Before giving Nick his first impression rose, her line "great first impression of" is spoken over Chris, not Nick. Chris is then cut from the screen as the guys next to him comment on the situation... as if Nick getting the rose will only hurt their chances.

At the rose ceremony, Andi says over a group of Chris (and Brian, Marquel and some dumpees): “finding love here”. (Sadly… shortly before this, Chris Harrison says over Marcus, Eric, JJ and Bradley “If you don’t hear your name”… and over Josh “you will be going home immediately.”)

In the 2nd episode (getting ready for Eric’s date), Andi says: "One of these men can be my husband", followed by Chris as the first guy talking at the mansion, saying “I can’t believe this is happening”.

When addressing the guys, Mister Harrison says “Andi might become your wife”. Edit to a shot of Brett, Craig... and you-know-who half-hidden.

Something about this line sounds rather… celestial. Eric’s date card is “Love is everywhere”. He says in the mansion “Love can be found everywhere. If I didn’t think love could be found here, I wouldn’t be here.”

When Tasos reads the group card, he says "last one" just before the camera stops at Chris (with Andrew and Marquel though)... then the camera is back on Tasos and then Dylan (last one on that date card) as read by Tasos.

“I know very little about Chris. I know Chris lives in Iowa. He’s a farmer. I’m definitely a city girl, but if that’s what farmers look like, I need to move to the country.” Despite the total lack of chemistry everybody claims, she adds later “I’m hoping that Chris is that gentleman that knows how to treat a lady because… (pause for a slight smirk) … I need it right now.” Followed by a trumpet outburst.

Chris is focused on over Andi’s “Maybe all I have to do is bet on the right horse…” After being told by the older couple “Looks like you two both picked winners”, Andi responds “I think I picked a winner”. Chris: “I’m definitely a winner right now, To be here, I won.”

Pro-Josh tidbit to toss here. The couple met at a baseball field and have been married for 55 years. Josh’s bio on hulu/abc.com starts right there.

Morbid and tasteless egg yoke: Nick S. says “besides the three guys who have a rose” over just Chris. Eric is shown next with his rose, however, over the word “everybody” (and he gets this pronoun twice this episode), but Marcus is nowhere in sight despite also having a rose. Then Josh and Craig get “on the chopping block”. Nick then ends with “so to get time with Andi tonight is do or die”. Eeek!

Episode #3, when reading the date card, Marquel says “Last but not least, gentlemen” as the camera stops on Chris. He then reads Marcus’ name. (See previous episode with Tasos reading.)

Andi is informed by... I forget which one of the Boys II Men troop: "When you are singing it, you gotta find the guy that you are focusing on. Yeah… you can do the sexy eyes. Just look at him, like.."
Andi: "I’ll make love to you?"
"I’ll make luuuuv to you."
Andi to the cameras... not to any guy on that group date:" I’ll close my eyes. I’ll make a wish. I’m gonna concentrate on YOU. Tonight is your night."

Boys II Men comment on a date Chris didn’t attend: “If this is any indication of who she’s gonna choose, you won’t have one on this show. She should just leave by herself.”

Chris is on the losing basketball team in episode #3. Andi voice-overs that is “heartbreaking” that they lost over a key Chris shot.

When Andi and Marcus discover the guys are watching them from the window (“That’s our room”), Marcus asks “should we kiss in front of them?” as Chris is shown looking out the window. Her response is an instant “no”.

What y'all think?

All tomfoolery to trick us?

I watched the AfterBuzz show and they are not even discussing Chris. They think Nick is F1. Why not? He said on screen: "I 100% met someone that I could 100% spend the rest of my life with. Like, when I go to bed now, when I wake up, I think about Andi. Y’know, I like to think that she feels exactly the same."

So true.

I completely agree as well. I am thinking this could be the most hidden F1 in history. Of course, time will tell. In the meantime, I am curious as to the video and why it seems so fake.

But couldn't the guys see her & Nick at the basketball cocktail party when they were on the couch? I remember SCs from before the season started. Pics show fans had taken of her and Cody. I guess it would depend where the group of guys were sitting.   
I think Cody's confrontation of Nick in the next epi may stem from having seen them.
(Another target on Nick's back)

There is a lot of information to ponder on there JFB. I find it really curious as to how Chris gets a HTD without seeing him much, never mind being in the F3.

Then I started realizing about the anonymous letter and how it could affect things. What if that isn't the only letter that he gave her. Maybe this season, their story is being told in letters? Crazy, I know but what IF??

I got a feeling that there is too much other drama going on for their story to shine right now. They got an early start in epi 2 and I am looking forward to epi 5 to see what happens with their time.

Maybe thats why the camera angle was awful on them in that scene, almost like they were hiding behind a post.
