Re: Josh Murray - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion - Thread #3

I think this whole thing is a set up. It certainly has gotten a lot of  people's attention and tongue wagging!  Kudos to whoever got this ball rolling!

I think you are completely right. A set up for sure!! Wonder who the real F1 is??

[BachfanNY]

I agree. BachfanNY. I think he is in somewhat unfamiliar territory & may have no idea about all of us just waiting for him to surface via SM or in person. & dissect  everything.  I hope he stays oblivious & true to who he is. He seems like a loving family man & I think he & Andi will be perfect together.

Seriously, all these years I have watched the Bach show and was never aware of the secret society that I am  enjoying, it is amazing to me. After chres season, I was so intrigued about how real life and genuineness their love story was, this led me to Chresville and I never left since. LOL, I need a life, right?
So, IMO, they didn't know about our secret society, they have no clue that there are detectives trying find out who the F1. According to his tweet, it was shocked so many people wanted to befriended him, and he went from 2k followers to over 20K.  If he is the F1, all I got to say is "WELCOME TO THE BACHELAR LIFE JOSH! this is only the beginning.

LOL! Too true!!

Maybe its because I don't have a favorite but I find this all amusing and hilarious. I'm hoping we get another "slip-up" soon!

Cute Mia!   

What interests me about the whole snapchat thing is 2 of Josh's "friends" sent them to RS? 
With friends like that who needs enemies! What kind of friend would do that, not to mention 2 friends.  

My thoughts exactly Kasha.

We live in an upside down world where "Friend" on SM doesn't really mean "friend" in the normal, sane, traditional sense.  The fact that Josh, or anyone else on this planet, would need, accept, desire, approve of 20 thousand SM "friends" is just another sign that we, as a people, are going to hell in a hand basket.  What is the point of having 20K strangers following your every movement (bowel or otherwise)?  The evolution of man in the digital age:  Our egos are growing at the same rate that our brains are shrinking!

You speak my mind, Mia.

I saw somewhere else where they are saying britty_baby2 is Brittany McCord (friend of the family - ex girlfriend)

I googled Brittany McCord's twitter and up popped the girl who posed for pics with both Aaron and Josh Murray.  The pics are somewhere on this forum and people had been speculating about what her relationship was to them - an ex-girlfriend, friend of the family, or just a fan.  

She tweeted Aaron in May:

Ugh I know we didn't make it as a couple but I still have faith in you. Good luck in the draft Aaron! @aaronmurray11 pic.twitter.com/ZUoxp0bkk1

And Josh on March 12:

brittanymccord
Even tho it didnt work out between us, I still wish you all the best on the next season of the bachelorette

According to her twitter, she goes to Clemson and is 20 years old.  I vote family friend.  Otherwise, it's just creepy.



So, she dated both brothers? This sounds like a set up to me, just saying..Well know soon enough.

These pictures are from an autograph signing session that Aaron did at a mall in Georgia, the girl is just a fan of the Murray family.

[Maggenzm]

Yup. I was going to say I have snapchat and I never really actually look at anything. I go to my contacts to send the pictures and if someone sends me one I get the notification on my phone and just look at it. It's very easy to not even think about who would be in your favorites. It's clearly just a mistake and since we're here to figure things out for certain and search for clues, I'm kind of confused as to why some people seem a bit angry that this happened, when we actually just got a huge clue as to who she's with.

I think some people are upset because they don't want Josh to be f1 and they will not be convinced until the frc airs and it is all a set up by tptb if it was nick or marcus people would believe it jmo

Not me! At this stage, I could care less who Andi picks. I see the chemistry with Josh, for sure, and if they are indeed a happy couple at the end. Great!

What I find interesting is how spoilers/sleuthing has evolved over the years. Before ALL that we had to go by was screencaps and hoping that someone connected with show would spill beans.

Emily's season two years ago changed everything. Emily, Jef and his family were dropping clues practically on daily basis and posting more photos of Jef in airports, at PW events & with babies. At the time I thought ... wow, what a rebel! Jef is thumbing his nose at the almighty ABC contract and making sure fans knows he's madly in love with Emily and dying to start a family. Ha! Now in retrospect I would not be surprised if Jef and the ABC social media team planned his every tweet, IG and the infamous phone location showing us that he was at a safehouse visit with Emily just to take fans along for the ride. And, us JEM fans ate it ALL up only to crash & burn a few weeks later. It was all a huge lie and Jef is no closer to starting a family (or a friggin job) than he was two years ago. One. Big. Lie.

Des' season - and yes, bare with me as I am going to compare - we got virtually nada on SM with Des but we got 4-5 trusted, longtime spoilers coming out saying that Brooks was final 1 and claiming independent sources. There was no airport sightings and not too many SM clues except from Des' brother Nate and nobody knew for sure if he could be trusted. Toward the very end we got subtle clues from Chris pointing to him as F1 (pig shot, possible safe house pool shot) and pointing to him being next Bachelor (handing out roses with Elan in Seattle). Post rose ceremony to today some fans still think she "settled" for Chris and it will never work. Ask any Chris fan what we think about that ...

Now back to Andi-Josh. This season appears to be another "in your face" with social media clues helping to spoil the outcome, which means:

1. Maybe these leaks are just the way it is today and there is nothing that TPTB can do to stop Andi, her F1 Josh and her/his family. That said, as a lawyer and good little Fleiss rule follower, Andi of all people would be inclined to RESPECT THE CONTRACT.

2. Maybe social media clues and sightings of Andi & Josh (her F1) are being encouraged/supported by TPTB to build fan support/interest for the show. Ratings are always lower for Bachelorette so anything they can do to boost fan support by exploiting SM opportunities, the better for the show.

3. And, maybe, just maybe, this flood of SM clues this season is one big ruse orchestrated by the ABC Bachelorette SM team and agreed upon/helped executed by Andi & her final guys. Anyone who works in marketing can tell you that what's been done so far is not that big of a deal to pull off ... and certainly not by ABC.

So whether you're inclined to question everything, trust the spoilers/onscreen chemistry or are somewhere in between is up to you. I was burned with Emily/Jef's season

  YOU NAILED IT!AMEN SISTA! THIS SAYS IT ALL! NOW, CAN WE MOVE ON?  
   :yougogirl: 

[Maggenzm]

Most of the clues aren't even in your face...people here are the ones who LOOK for the clues. So I don't understand why people are upset?

Me too, it doesn't make sense to me either. To me, life is too precious to focus on things we have no control over. People get bent out of shape for no reason.

[Kashathediva]

I guess it doesn't matter. Different strokes for different folks. Just another discussion and airing of opinions. It's all good.

Correct. She in no way associated with them in real life.

[Bet2Win]

I have no idea if Josh and Andi are purrrfect for each other, whether they are in love, whether he is even the F1 (although it looks like it).

This is a sleuthing board. That's what we do is sleuth. If people aren't happy that sleuthers dissect everything, I suggest those hang out in the fan threads.

So to answer the can we move on's, yes we can; but do we have to? No.   

And to the contestants, friends and family of the contestants, the contestants are now public figures, subject to scrutiny.

[ThankMeLater]

All I have to say is that there's a big difference between in your face and sleuthing.

[janeh810]

This Josh Murray thread is rockin'. Keep postin'. Josh Murray thread #4 comin' soon to a theater near you. Ha.   

[nd4reality]

How was the leak easy and a set up? I don't think they assumed they would get caught using Snapchat because it hasn't happened before! Also this isn't the only slip up this season. You have Marcus and Chris following Andi on twitter when they're not supposed to.

Not proven to be him.
