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

That is true. Only one can be Prince Siegfried.

... and only one can be Soules Survivor.

Thanks for all the transcripts!!! Interesting nuggets.

All I can say is if Chris is last man standing, you can shout "I told you so" in every thread on here. Chris actually reminds me a lit of the edit/screen time that Drew got last season.

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?

This might be the case, but I feel like they would've left that "I've never had my heart broken before" conversation in the actual episode and not as a deleted scene if this was the angle they were going for. Would've been a perfect set-up for him as the next lead, with Andi, the Bachelorette breaking his heart for the very first time

^^ Was it Kiptyn who had never had his heart broken or was it someone else? But anyway, I remember that storyline being very much in our faces. The only thing that's in our face with Andi and Josh is the physical chemistry/too good to be true scenario. And I agree that if that was his storyline they would have left that deleted scene in there.

Yes definitely Kiptyn. The moment his words were out of his mouth Jillian started obsessing over them .
What has been in our face from ep1 with Josh is how physically good they are together AND that she feels she cannot trust the situation with him of being an ex-jock.

flashing back to pre-season, im surprised to find out that at this point i couldnt agree more with you

Oh... I just had to "transcribe" this scene... ha ha!

Andi PI: I came into this night thinking it one way and now people are upset, they are saying people are making fun of them and saying someone I really like is offensive at times and it is something I want to address.
Nick: How have you been?
Andi: Good, how are you?
Nick: Good. (Yeah?) Um… I had fun today. (Really…) The mime part’s fun, but I’m not gonna, like, pretend it is not my favorite thing to do.
Andi: You’re salty.
Nick: No. (Uh hmmm) I’m not salty.
Andi: You seam salty on group dates.
Nick: Yeah, it’s a-it’s a very unnatural for me.
Andi: Yeah, but I mean… those are the only few minutes I get to spend with you during the day.
Nick: I know. I feel like we talk about that a lot. Am I following…
Andi: I don’t know. It is like… how can we not? I see you on a group ate and it is so obviously like, come on. I am just like shake you. Just have fun with me.
Nick: I am having fun. I’m really, like, it is hard for me because of the excitement I have.
Andi: It is hard for me to watch you on group dates, to be honest. (PI session) There are a lot of thoughts going through my head right now with Nick. I look at him and he looks at me and I feel like he sees exactly who I am. There is this mental, emotional connection with him that is off the charts. It is just pretty shocking that two of the nicest guys in the house are saying the same thing about Nick. (back o her discussion with him) How’s everything else going? (Good) Really?
Nick: Why do you say that? There is more and more drama sometimes.
Andi: I know. I can feel when stuff is going on. I feel there is stuff going on in that room right now. I am not an idiot. (Yeah) So… you want to talk about it?
Nick: No I mean… that’s more like…
Andi: If I was your wife, would you tell me?
Nick: Yeah
Andi: OK
Nick: Fine. Fair enough. I respect that. I think Cody is mad at me because I said something couple days ago about… I gave him a hard time. I think h felt I was disrespecting him, so I apologized to him. I was mocking him. I was. In that situation, we were giving each other a hard time. Y’know… so I told him outside.
Andi: So you were wrong.
Nick: Yeah, so I told him that. (Yeah)
Andi PI: It is weird because he is admitting what he said and it is all in line with what Cody told me. He, like, takes responsibility but also downplays it. There is a part of me that wonders… is he a little manipulative in the way he makes me feel? Am I being fooled by Nick?
Nick: I’m not your secret admirer but I wrote you something. Andi. When I see you, I smile. When I see you, I blush. When I see you, I get nervous. When I see you, my chest bursts with excitement. When I see you, I see beauty. When I see you, I see strength. When I see you, I see purpose. When I see you, I see a future. Nick.
Andi: You’re gonna kiss me already or what? (Followed by one, then her “I mean”… and two more. Then her PI session.) Ah… It got complicated with Nick tonight. It got complicated with him. It is like I want to kiss him because his note is sweet. I just wonder if I am oblivious to who Nick really is. (shown saking her head) What am I going to do with you? Causing a ruckus. Causing a ruckus in my mind. (kiss)

Not that Nick and Andi resemble these two at all (since Nick is simply “salty”, not “evil”), but the body language here brings back such fond memories for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ueYhM5Lto

It also humors me how both Mr. Salty and Mr. Evil are not happy about the group rose situation.

Nick: No I mean… that’s more like…


I think like Chris, Nick felt that this was something between the guys, not something needed to be shared with Andi.

And again, she brings Cody's situation and makes it about MeAndi!

Each of them have different perspectives towards a situation, what Andi feels as down playing could be Nick's way of saying someone is making a mountain over a mole hill. There is nothing wrong with that, I respect his perspective that he was just razzing Cody as it seems Cody reciprocates as well.  The aggravated party (in this case Cody) makes it a big deal because he feels Nick is rubbing "Andi's frontrunner" in.  Of course the other guys felt the same (Andrew, et.al) if they were in the same boat as Cody.  Andi's reaction over the whole thing would be natural to what she is in real life. She doesn't take things at face value, doesn't trust easily, and naturally questions everything. So with that said, my perception over this whole thing will make me judge the situation and can prompt me to label each of the players unfairly and find someone to blame. However, if I take the situation apart and put myself in each of their shoes - there really is no conflict only each one trying to discuss their perception of matters. Just my .02 cents

Has the date of when Chris came home been discovered? I really don't think F1 is Nick because the tide turned from him on the Mime date and the planegate videos. Seems likely Josh could have gone to Cancune to film a new next bachelor package with the crew there.

Maybe Andi quit her job to move to be with her F1, possibly Chris? Why has Chris been so hidden? If Josh is her guy why quit her job now and not wait to see what their future holds in Georgia. From preview, it seems Josh gets upset this next episode over lie detector test which will probably make Andi question more if he is too good to be true. This next episode should be interesting to see Andi's reaction when Chris admits he is the secret admirer.
