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

It is possible that Andi is also a devout Catholic (like Josh), but so far I have not seen any indication of that from Andi in anything that has been shown. I am hoping to see some conversation between her and Josh regarding religion. That would help to give me a better idea of how compatible these two might be in real life (in that aspect of their lives).

Even a deleted scene of that conversation would be helpful. However, I understand that the producers tend to shy away from religion as a topic, since they don't think that that makes for good tv. So, I will not be surprised if that question is left unanswered for me.

So I can understand Josh's comment, and that doesn't necessarily mean that he is looking for a wife to start popping out babies immediately.

Josh's bio again. He alludes to what you said regarding the baseball player lifestyle.

The high incidence of infidelity among all athletes is a result of their own behavior.

I can't see that vid, but to say I'm going to give up a sport because too many people fool around and end up divorced is not a good reflection on their character.

What does Josh say in the vid? TYIA

You got that right!

To vastly paraphrase the video, Josh says that although baseball was a childhood dream, once it became a reality for him at 17, it was tough and he was on his own for the first time. When he suffered injuries that led to being out in rehab for a season he pondered what he really wanted. He realized he wanted a family young and that a longterm baseball career wouldn't be conducive to that so he went back to school and changed career path.

I agree. I have yet to see a charismatic personality, or an articulate conversation from Josh. He is coming off to me as hyper and anxious. I don't understand what makes him be above the other guys? There are other good looking, smart guys in this bunch too. Chris and Nick are certainly very successful on their own. The only thing Josh has that the others don't is a famous brother that has a huge fanbase.

Have you seen what Josh does to Andi? He has that. :yes:

Otherwise I agree, they're all great guys.

Very good point.

Do you really think Mike Fleiss and Co. care about that?? They do not. They care about ratings and MONEY. if it gets the viewership and the fans to tune in, they are golden.

TPTB knows that you need to watch the show to see the story unfold, even if you know who the F1 is. They also know that you can't be sure anyway, because RS can't be trusted completely. so, the more we talk about a contestant, the more people want to tune in, that's human nature. See, like now, Josh is the topic the conversation everywhere, and I think this Monday will be the most watched episode of the season because of all that talk about Josh being F1 or not.

That's why she clicked so well with Nikki, they are both very sarcastic and I think Josh gets it.

sooo. Hi, STEVE! handwave

from today's column. Interestingly enough he didn't mention her when he posted the screen shots...

Hi Steve! I have been reading your site for a couple years now and i absolutely love it! I don’t miss a single post! I was wondering if you know what the tattoos on the insides of
Josh’s upper arm say?

Thanks !

Comment: Hmmmmm, not sure. Britty_Baby2? Ha ha…kidding. I don’t know.
