Bachelorette 10 - Andi Dorfman - Episode 8 - HTDs - Jul 07/14 *Spoilers & Sleuthing* - Discussion

If Josh is f1 he will have a problem with a lot of this season not just Nick and the tree kissing.
Like Chris of last season perhaps its better for the f1 to not watch anything other than their own scenes.

He indeed may not be watching the scenes he's not in- but I would guess that Andi's told him about them because I can't believe that Josh's whole family watches only a sanitized version of the episode. I think the couples that really make it though talk about the whole experience- put it all out there. Really, how can you not? Everyone knows everyone else. The men have spent more time with each other (until hometowns) than they have with the lead. They know things about each other that Andi won't know about them.

CH has alluded to the effect that Eric's death will have on them all. I think the one thing they can all agree about about him is that he made the most of his opportunities and lived with passion and gusto. I think we will see these men realize that they can't predict what will happen in life and all of them- AND ANDI- will seize the moments in front of them. Thinking about that makes me think that from the FDs to the end, we may see more passion than ever- by passion I mean deep feelings. I don't think that they could just chalk it all up to a TV show at that point. And whether F3 leaves on his own or is sent home early by Andi it will be because someone's not feeling it at all. And while Andi might like really to spend the whole final episode with f1, pretty much like Des did with Chris, I doubt they would have let her. It will remain to be seen whether she is really torn at the end or not. It will also be interesting to hear her answer to the always asked question, "when did you know".

Maybe not.  Her F1 may understand that Meandi signed a contract and was paid a substantial amount of money to find love on this reality dating show.  It wouldn't be a stretch to believe TPTB made it clear they expected a proposal at the end of the show, unlike the shocking non-proposal last season.  Her F1 may understand that a big part of being a successful litigator is the ability to convince people of the "case" you are presenting.  Prosecutor Pookie had ample practice doing so before she quit to do reality tv shows.  Her F1 may well understand that Meandi was just playing a role with the other guys.  

Hopefully the F1 can tell the difference between her acting out her role with the other final 5 - 6 contestants and what she did with him.  Hopefully his family will be understanding as well.  Hopefully they already are able to put on a happy public face regardless of how they really feel.  Of course if the happy couple parlay this into an appearance on DWTS and an all-expenses paid wedding extravaganza, it will be much more palatable to some families.

We're talking about Josh here. .

If Josh is final 1, he looks happy and excited  in his pcs post show, so i don't think it'll be a problem or it's a classed case.

I was thinking the same thing. They both look happy. So maybe they are watching it together and she is getting him thru this or he is just watching their part.

Probably the second option. She has been watching a few with Kelly and not Josh anyway.

All the final 4 look happy….that's a good thing. Most of the time, that is the case, once they are out of the bubble for a while.

re the first bolded: i think it will spur andi to overcome her fears of being hurt by a former athlete who she fears will be a player, josh, and go for him because he is the one she really has the strongest feelings for. didn't she make a comment early in the show about settling and how she didn't want to do that? jmo

re the second bolded: i think someone on the board mentioned she has said post-show that she now believes in love at first sight or something to that effect. of course the josh and nick fans can duke it out deciding who she means by that comment.  

I would bet Andi only was very careful with "spending time" with only her final 1 in the FS. Sure, she might take the other two, but she knows whoever her final 1 is, he will be asking the question.

She is pretty smart. this is probably why chris was okay with everything w Des.

Lmao! On the one hand, this says so much, it IS Josh and we know how he likes to share but otoh, he must see how different she is with him vs the others, especially the ifly and how upset she got during their fight for the entire week. And like you said, he's probably just watching their parts. His head has yet to explode by all accounts so I think things must be ok and his bp is being monitored by a highly trained team of ER docs.
