I can not find Sharleen's pretty little pandas blog about the HTDs anywhere.

Did she not do a blog this week?  I did see where she ranked the F3, according to the very last episode, but I was really looking forward to reading what she had to say about HTDs.  I love her insight on things.

No she is busy in my hometown Beautiful Paris!

She will post much later. Tonight or tomorrow, I think. Well, considering she is in Paris and it is 7.30 pm there.

Try this.

Things always get very real in hometown week. Watching how emotional the guys became to see their loved ones again reminded me vividly of just how homesick I was in my final weeks of filming. We underestimate the comfort of our loved ones until it’s no longer an option to confide in them. Add to this the raw reactions of Andi and the final four to Eric Hill’s death—something I thought was difficult to watch but a respectful move on the show’s part—and episode 8 is easily the most emotional episode this season.

Thanks, Sophie and Happy, I will just keep checking back here to see if someone has posted the link for her Episode 8 blog. I am hoping that she will do one for the HTDs.

Things always get very real in hometown week. Watching how emotional the guys became to see their loved ones again reminded me vividly of just how homesick I was in my final weeks of filming. We underestimate the comfort of our loved ones until it’s no longer an option to confide in them. Add to this the raw reactions of Andi and the final four to Eric Hill’s death—something I thought was difficult to watch but a respectful move on the show’s part—and episode 8 is easily the most emotional episode this season.

I really felt for Andi on many levels this week. I personally do believe it’s possible to love more than one person at once and, most of the time, one of the main things preventing that is circumstance. So imagine a circumstance dedicated to meeting and liking numerous attractive candidates and having your feelings for one another accelerated by a time and environmental warp. While in the beginning her position seems like an enviable one, I think it’s way harder than it looks—and whoa, did this week look difficult.

My frontrunners, in order:

Josh
1. Josh, 29: It’s almost eerie how seamlessly Andi fits into his family. They’re like-minded, athletic and generally seemed to be themselves around Andi—and she with them. I was a bit distracted by how much Andi looks like the fourth sibling of the Murray clan, but got over it quickly: Andi cares for Josh a lot, in the ways that matter. She was steadfastly supportive of him despite all the attention his brother was receiving. What I liked so much about this date was that it exposed Andi’s softer, less confrontational, more supportive and womanly side, which up until now I mostly only saw when she was with Nick. This was a HUGE deal for me and solidified Josh as my top frontrunner this week.

Nick V
2. Nick, 33: Nick’s hometown date was probably my favourite in terms of activity and ease. These two are so comfortable and effortless together it’s as though they’ve been dating for years. The evening portion was intense just due to the sheer size of his family. But Andi took it like a champ, wowing all of America with her very impressive name recall.

Going home next week:
Chris
3. Chris, 32: Don’t get me wrong, I like Chris and Andi together and I think their hometown date went swimmingly. But the real concept of Andi up and moving to a farm in Iowa was seriously glossed over. Yes, it was mildly addressed when they discussed her career options and Andi spoke to Chris’ entertaining city-girl-turned-country-girl mother. But it seemed like the bare minimum considering what a huge social and professional sacrifice it would be for Andi. These two just don’t have the chemistry or cerebral connection (yes, I said it) necessary for that move to even be a consideration.

So, who wrote that one? I know she doesn't it all the time, but she has done a brief one like this before, I can't remember which episode it was.

She did but it's not the blog she does on her website.

She wrote it but it's not the one people are waiting for. They are looking for the one she posts on her website. This is a online mag one. It's different and much shorter.

OH! what more do people want to know. She has being saying all along that Josh is Andi 's frontrunner, but she was TeamNick.

I don't want to fight, but she has also talked about great physical and intellectual chemistry with Nick.  The Jodi fans see only good.  I actually see good and bad for all the F3.  I think that is what happens when you love the F3 and not the lead.

And as a biochemist, I want her to get a new word and leave my profession alone.

   What word would you like her to use instead, stuck?

Well truthfully, chemistry is good except much like the over analysis of Josh by Andi I am over it and her.  Chemistry to me is the spark, and sparks are great, they flutter and make you feel good.  But sparks are also very temporary, they must fully ignite into a passion and love or they die.  I worry for Andi that she is too stuck on the spark and not letting herself get to the good stuff.  I have only really seen her have that good stuff, that security with Nick so far.

I find if funny, many talk about Josh's protectiveness, but all we have seen is that Andi isn't secure in Josh, she is insecure.  She seemed more secure with Chris and Nick to me this week.

If the preview edit is crap and Andi gets over it next week, I can see Josh as F1, but if not, I hope she doesn't pick him.  For some reason she will be unable to let herself trust him.  To me that means something about her, not Josh and it her body and minds way of telling her something is wrong, don't do it.

To be fair, there is a script here, and we don't know how insecure she actually feels with Josh. No doubt there are scenes filmed on all the guys that could have shown insecurity instead of security, interest or disinterest. After getting into this show, I've sometimes played a little mental game while out with my husband, wondering how we'd come across if filmed and edited and the answer has consistently been: anyway the editor wants it to look. Really, when you cut hours into 5 minutes, you can create any story.
