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

Swinging is a baseball term too... provided there is no curve ball involved. Y'all know how much I enjoy watching Josh regardless of the outcome.

Piper61 wrote:I still think it swings (pardon the baseball terminology!) Josh's way in spite of that.  One thing that I recall is that a local TV station reporter was at the basketball date interviewing Andi during the date, and she also talked to a couple of the guys that I can't recall and when the reporter was back on air at the station with sharing her report, two of the male anchors were talking with her, and at the end, one asked her who she thought Andi would pick.  She said the two that Andi seemed to have chemistry with were Josh and Chris, or maybe she said Chris and Josh, but with all of the hidden Chris in the episodes following his 1 on 1 date, you can't hide him in person.  

And there is Josh, no matter what question(s) Andi has at the time, she is probably not able to deny her attraction and chemistry.

We shall begin to see more starting tonight!  

That is interesting the reporter picked up on Chris and Josh only. Nick was also on this date but no mention of him .......hmmmmm

Well I've been scratching my head about Josh from the start.

The story that TPTB is spinning about Josh (reinforced in video and date last night) is he gave up his career in baseball because it was not conducive to having a family (versus that little issue of him not advancing beyond single A). Yet in the past five years this guy who made family a priority in his life at the young age of 23 claims to have not even dated anyone in FIVE YEARS.

That's a long time for a guy that good looking and that charismatic to be a wall flower!

So guess that starting his family was not so important after all? Is it possible he trained to be a monk or a priest??? Whoops, I stand corrected, as I see he went to the very co-ed University Georgia with enrollment of about 35,000 students.  

Anyway this good looking stud of a man ... who managed to stay single through his college ... is so nervous around her that he blushes like crazy and can barely form a sentence when he meets Andi. Yet, fast forward to ep 2 where we see him having no issue swooping in for a very passionate kiss when he had not even had 1-on-1 date. I guess he cured himself of those nerves pretty darn fast!

TPTB show us Josh standing up to evil forces when he pursues Andrew with JJ for getting the waitress phone number. We also see his cave man side as he declares himself to be a "grown a$$ man."  Be still my heart.

Next, get ready to start feeling super sadz for Josh as we see him leaning so forlornly against the bleachers ... and we hear how he HATES to lose. Foreshadowing?

Last night Josh and Andi have a really sweet date ... lots of chemistry ... we hear again how he ended up quitting ball ... and he's not like all the other jocks ... and got his heart broken by an ex girlfriend making out with other guy while he was on the road. He also shares how he doesn't want to say "I love you" again until it means that he's marrying the girl. Did you hear that Andi?!?! Don't you dare break his heart. Don't. Do. It.

Ending scene of night ... we see Josh get sh*t on by seagull while on date and tells Andi ... "see how I take sh*t for you" ...). Wow, more foreshadowing?

So ... are the spoilers correct that Josh is indeed F1 and happily ever after holed up with Andi in Cancun or Atlanta or somewhere?

Or are the TPTB painting the picture and setting Josh up for INTENSE heartbreak with Andi? He will garner sympathy like no other Bachelor candidate has ever had before and slide right into the Bachelor spot with women across the country ... and especially those pretty southern belles (see casting calls) ... to mend his broken heart so he doesn't have to wait another 5 YEARS before he goes on another date?

And get this ... I just googled locations of Casting Calls ... lots of southern ladies, ladies from more Midwest and a few Big City gals. Perfect cast for either Chris or Josh!!

Mvm, Josh also mentioned injuries being as issue for why he quit baseball. And he didn't say he didn't date for 5 years. He just hadn't been in a relationship for that long. I'm positive he went on dates with girls but like he said, if he didn't see a future then he didn't feel the need to take it further.

And I feel like that's a pretty standard list of casting cities.

^^^mvm -

I LOVE THIS POST!!!

Agree that Josh will be rating gold!! IMO, No way MF is going to let him get away.

Sounds remarkably a lot like what Sean shared on Emily's season.

And, I didn't hear anything about injuries on last night's date. I am just going by what TPTB disclosed to non spoiled viewers as to why he left baseball.

I'm not arguing any of your points, MVMom, especially the "be still my heart" (even though I snipped it), but I thought last night's opening provided some insight into Josh swooping in for a kiss in episode 2. Looks like we weren't privy to their alone time during the GD so we could watch Craig get drunk and make a fool of himself.   

This is Andi in a PI from episode 2, followed by the caps of Andi/Josh's alone time.

Josh is naturally an alpha dude and Andi, that minx, is like the biggest fan of double entendres we've ever had as the lead, and she told us exactly what she wants in a man last episode. So I think Andi naturally sending those "need to be taken right at this minute" signals and Josh's "ready and willing to take the lady" urges are a little too much of a perfect, lethal cocktail.

It wasn't mentioned in last night's show. I believe it was mentioned at another time, perhaps his intro video? I just remember him talking about it.

And that's not true about Sean at all. He had at least two girlfriends in the 4 years leading up to being on the Bachelorette.

In his intro video he said he tore his groin and hip flexors and missed a whole season rehabbing in Arizona. And when they were on the sailboat, Andi asked him something about whether his bad shoulders were preventing him from going back to baseball. In truth it appears that he wasn't actually *that* good and was never going to advance out of the minors, so maybe his chronic injuries were a good reason to move on.

Swing is also a golf term. Andi used it during Nick S's limo/golf cart intro and he used it when he was giving her a putting lesson during the m&g.
