Bachelorette 10: Edit-Storyline - *SPOILERS* - should we bother? Oooohhhh... why not?

I don't know if it's because I've really only liked a few leads, but I've never really been shocked by the ending. Even if the spoilers were wrong, I was usually rooting for that to be the case because I didn't want the lead to pick my favorite. Prime example being the Chantal is F1 from Brad 2.0. I don't think any ending could shock me this season. Well unless Andi walked away from both her F2. That I just can't see.

I agree! I generally like the Bachelorettes better than Bachelors so for most Bachelor seasons (except Sean and Andy Baldwin) I could have cared less who they picked. I am kind of glad to just sit back and watch this season and all the sideline activity unfold after getting spoiled after episode 4.

Prior to becoming spoiled, I thought edit was pointing to Josh as next Bachelor with Marcus possibly peaking too soon, Chris desperately needing more quality screen time and Nick needing an obstacle to overcome. Dylan and Brian were on my let's see what happens list while JJ was friend zone.

Now that I am spoiled and see all signs BRIGHTLY pointing to Josh as F1 (yes, I hear you Fleiss loud and clear!!), I just have a word of caution for die hard Josh fanatics. Sure, he might be ideal for her in real world, live across town, similar religious backgrounds, similar athletic flare and Daddy would welcome him with the widest open arms EVER.

Even with all that is stacked in Josh's favor both onscreen and off screen, gosh, there's just something telling me that you need to leave the door open just a teenie tiny crack for a SURPRISE!

I sure got a very happy surprise during the last five minutes of Des' finale when I was just waiting for Brooks to pop in and stop the FRC. But I also have been on the other end and it really stinks when the person you are convinced is going to be F1 ends up going home in limo.

You are right! I for one is very open. I really see more with Josh than any other. But, whoever she chooses is fine with me. She really has a great group of guys, I don't think she can go wrong with Chris, Nick, nor Marcus even thought Marcus seem less mature and too young for her. JIMO. Tomorrow can't come fast enough for me.

Maggenzm - please tell my husband that he is too young for me so it will not work. Because he is younger than me.
Marcus seems to be way more mature than some of the others ***coughfrontrunners***.

In my opinion, age doesn't have much to do with maturity and like you my own great loves have tended to be a little younger than I. I guess I am in the minority but I don't see Marcus as particularly emotionally mature. While I get what you are saying in that the other "frontrunners" seemed to get hit by the Andi bug very quickly, it appears that Marcus was the first to use the word love (Josh, on the other hand, said to her directly that he likes her a lot and in the PI's acknowledged that it's early in the process and wants to get to know her better).

I feel like Josh is the F1 at least I want him to be, but I do think there's some kind of surprise or twist coming. Nothing is ever that simple in bach land. The question is what will it be...

^^^I am leaving the door cracked for "something" to happen. I know that as much as I will focus on Josh's first 1 on 1 date tonight and their interactions going forward, I do plan to pay more attention to everything else around them unlike what I did with Brooks and Des.

Josh has not even had a 1on1 date. The way he was giggling and getting red-faced while just talking to her one of the earlier episodes does not show much maturity  . The his inability to temper his emotions of aggression already shown on screen noted by plenty here is a be a red flag as well.
Andi herself said in a PI that adrenalin date was chosen with the purpose of fast tracking emotions which she obviously achieved. Good for her.
Yup Marcus is more mature than some of his front runners.

Same here. I did the exact same thing with Brooks and Des and missed the entire love story unfolding for her and Chris. Won't do that again. Can't wait for tonight.

*chuckle chuckle* Even though I did NOT get swept away with the great Brooks and Des "love story" like the majority of you, those evil little editing trolls did get me with Juan and Clare. The whole problem was mostly visual. That is, talk about being on Cloud 9 and "enjoying being in the moment" while both are fully clothed with scarfs on didn't get my mojo up as much as practically naked "let's not kiss"-ing. Then again, at this point, if Andi and Josh are shown running into the water with their bare bottoms exposed, I still will question if this is a colossal joke.

They will use every possible torch light to distract my puny Tyrannosaurus brain.

    I watched JPG and Ben's seasons with interest, but casual interest compared to how I watch and get into the bachelorette seasons. I don't think we have to worry about Andi and Josh running into the water with bare bottoms.

I can't wait either! I am going to enjoy watching the whole show, but have to say, I would like the whole show to be about Andi and Josh's date.
