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

Looking at the social media, it looks like there is a lot of love for Chris and Marcus. Ironically, there is also less negativity around Nick, and slightly more around Josh. The viewing public is all over the map. They don't know who to love and who to hate.

Chris' family at dinner talking about the last time he brought a girl home--about a year earlier--when the whole family, including the men, wore lipstick, made no comment about it, and watched to see whether the date would say anything.

Well, there was poor Marcus's striptease.   

Your avi is very pretty.

Oh yes, there was that! I watched through my fingers, thinking "noo sweetie noooo!"

Thanks about my avi - I hit send on my post and immediately went to change it to a beach scene instead of the wedding pic I'd had, so I'm not sure which one you thought was pretty.

The plane stunt melted her heart.
He is the Epitome of a Man
When sitting on his lap, everything is massive. (No, I won't go there)
Can become a DA in Cedar Rapids
Says she will be very happy having his sisters as MY sisters
His mother Linda gives her the "experience" that NOBODY else really can
I saw Chris for who he was and SAW A LIFE WITH HIM
She is on Cloud 9... a first for a Bachelorette since Trista on her FRC
Repeat of her "my head is spinning" voice-over in the promos

Hope Josh can hit one out of the ball park post-Iowa.

JBF, for the first time, I think you might be under something. Chris and his family were the bom!!. Go farmer!! He has  surpassed Nick.

Under the tractor I guess... stuck in the manure. Ha ha!

I feel they gave us The Reasons She SHOULD Choose Chris. Whether she does or not can still be debated.

His hometown didn't seem like an advertisement for Next Bachelor to me. No "closure" discussion of his college era DUI that the folks on the abc.com messageboard will not stop talking about. All Of America can't accept him without his discussing it, much as Marcus discussed his own hardships.

Worse... Andi wouldn't stop talking future talk with him, another BAD sign for a future Bachelor. If he made the lead, SHE might "boomerang" like Deanna did on Jason's show... and Chris Bukowski on her show.

Nick's hometown felt like it is a set up for All Of America to do a 180 turnaround with him. Mom gave him the pep talk that... yeah... he may get his heart broken. Of course, Ilene gave JP Rosenbaum a similar talk on Ashley's season, but that was resolved when Ilene talked to Ashley. This time the vibe was very different. Maria, the one sister, admitted to Andi that Nick is in an "inflated situation"... another way of saying he's fallen into The Bubble. I think everybody will be sobbing for Nick come finale time. Maybe not enough to be Bachelor like Josh or Marcus. After all, he was a bit of a naughty Teddy Bear earlier... even if I have enjoyed Every Freakin' Minute He Is On Screen. (Nick, I love yah, buddy! You are one of my all time favorite contestants and have provided me endless memorable lines I will forever cherish on this silly TV show.)

Josh's hometown was fun during the baseball part. Alas... JJ cursed him when they talked about Brian in an earlier abc.com "extra". He suggested that Andi would dump Brian if he was too "stuck on" basketball. The camera was focused on Josh when JJ spoke. Unfortunately, baseball and football was emphasized a bit too much on Josh's hometown.

Now... that may not necessarily mean Josh can't be F1. *cough cough*... (Hey! I am trying my best to be As Fair As Possible... *cough cough*) Obviously the editors will really need to show us Andi getting over that obstacle during fantasy date.

Sister Stephanie was very realistic with Andi, saying they may fight as a couple. Now... there are two ways of viewing that conversation. All couples fight, we know. Couples who fight together stay together a.k.a. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Yet why would they include that conversation when we haven't seen them fight before? Does something happen between them in the fantasy date?

Marcus left saying to Andi "I saw a future with you"

Andi said on screen that she saw a future with... Chris. Apparently he was the only one receiving that line this episode. So... we shall see what happens.

In any case, y'awl can send me a screencap of the Venice Hog's Head when Chris gets dumped. I'm sure my PM messages will be full since I am already the naughty one who DARED to suggest the Number 5 Horse had a chance despite walking sideways... LOL!

Thank you, they had such a cute family dynamic.  Heck if I was still single, I would consider a post doc at ISU!

GA what was that you said Chris H. said about Andi insulting or something similar about other bachelorettes. I hope you understanding what I'm trying to say or ask.

Andi said something, can't remember where, that her dates were real, and not going into an ocean or hot tub. That?

No it was something about Andi was the best bachelorette and she said something like offending all the other bachelorettes

I saw what Mura was saying all this time.
Proud TeamNick.
All good. Live life to the fullest.

So as I read correct, the only option for Andi not including Nick in her SM is because she's "angry" (because of the video-spoiler)?
I could give you another 2 reasons ... but it doesn't matter, guess I see through rose colored glasses. Peace.

Great school but too far from Chris.  Believe me if he was near Ames/Des Moines I would be claiming him for myself! I may even have turned into a stalker to do it
