Oldest trick in the Fleiss handbook.  Trista did this with Charlie.  Most thought she would pick him because they talked about having kids, raising a family all the time.    

It wasn't so much about the subject of raising kids, it was the fact that they were talking about something that could relate to their future together.  We didn't hear that kind of conversation with any of the other F4, including my fav Marcus.

Tey have shown so little with Josh, who knows if they talked about that.

This has been part of my problem with Josh's edit.  Show me the man, we have little things like his cute little eye roll when he told Andi he liked her a little while they were eating bread.  Give us more fun Josh and less of the can she trust him crap!  I know tons of you love Josh and Andi, but I just can't based on what they are showing us.  Maybe after tonight.  I love Josh, the guy on SM and that we met before the show, but one dimensional, you must trust me Andi Josh?  Nope he is kind of boring so far.  Give me the real Josh please!

But if it's not shown, then it's not part of the storyline, right?

Exactly stuckinsc ...
the are not showing completely who Josh is ... and even though I sense he has a good humor, can be good sports, is passionate, loyal, serious with his intentions, family oriented, gorgeous, ... and more ... they are not showing us much to really adore him and be interested in, it's boring folks ... be angry as much as you want - and I'm not making a dig at noone - but to me it seems that all the dislike for Nick was really created to give a boost in the story with Josh. Because just look at the statistics.
If she picks Josh at the end ... I will continue to believe they didn't showed me his true potential ... (and to me that screams The Bachelor, since of all the guys, he has many followers, fans, people who simply adore him, then there is story with his family, very compelling one to tell more in details, his life today, that needs to be presented)

Add to all that, football!  I love football, so for me if they went to a UGA game or a KC Chiefs game as a group date, I would be so happy.

In a way, I think Josh is my dream bachelor!  Andi please let him go, so the rest of us can have him!

I have seen plenty to adore Josh and
Andi and Josh as a couple, and have no doubt we are purposely being kept in the dark about more probing future family and life conversations to this point. How else to keep promoting a storyline of fear what their future may hold and whether Josh is ready to be committed to her in the end.  I liked Andi well enough in the beginning and love her now.

Bingo.

We will have a lot to talk about after we see the previews !

I still think a huge gotcha is apon us !

BTW - I prefer Josh to Nick overall and would prefer Josh to find someone IMO more suitable for him. JMO. For now - subject to change of course.

Could it be another Kaboom!  I mean from a karma perspective alone, RS is not the world's nicest human being, so if all the stuff he got this season is real, then I am going to be very disappointed in karma.  I thought she was supposed to be a b****!

Piper ... don't get me wrong, I like Josh, I also see and pick things out of whole these non-sense story ... but I have to agree with those who say that Josh is portrayed one-dimensional.
Why? - that's gonna be answered after FRC.
How? - they don't talk much about (his) present life, just past - past profession, past relationships, Andi's past and her trust issue/type, they don't show much of his flaws ... now that's a statement that a lot of you can be fueled to disagree with me ... but in order to create a compelling/interesting character you have to make him flawed (that's one of the rule for a good story). You have to show his flaws, which eventually we all overcome because of love. He was too much in the background in many situations when I would expect a guy of his value and "weight" to be. He wasn't a constant "topic of discussion" on the show, among the guys, although to all the fans he appears confirmed and logical frontrunner, so much, that most people talk with conviction, that that's all you can see, that is so obvious he is F1 ... so I wonder, if it is so obvious, why then he wasn't more exposed among the guys, but he was buddy, buddy with all ... and yes, you can tell me now, that the answer is in his character that is much better than Nick's who is exact opposite (and here again, Nick is his only antagonist for some reason) ... but that composure clashes with F1 attitude.
I even decided to watch Des' season during the weekend to understand people who were mentioning it .... and even in her season Chris, who is described as whole-some-good guy, even he was portrayed with more edge and I could see clearly his F1 role. With Josh I don't. I see chemistry, really off the charts one with Andi. But when alone or in the group he is lost (as far as edit) - meaning his spark, potential, competence, what makes him great is not put in evidence.

Thanks to emptysquares in the Josh Fan thread for posting the link below on the new preview. I think as most of you know, they are playing with the edit and storyboard more than ever this season.

Ali and F3 Frank shopped for aphrodisiacs on their date in Istanbul.

A lot of other similarities. Also, back a couple of months or so, I was looking for who bought the carpet on their date. I wasn't sure which season it was. Now that I found it while looking for who bought aphrodisiacs, I can't remember why I was looking for it. Did any of the guys buy carpets??

Ali: "I just know I feel like nervous. Because I have no control over who falls in love with me and if the person I fall in love with falls in love with me back. I have no control over that."

LOL! Remember Arie on his his Last Chance Date with Emily? They didn't get to use the herb potion being created.

I felt so sorry for Arie, has anyone handled letting the F2 go worse than that?  Seriously, just tell him you chose someone else and move on. Such a class act, Emily, having Jef call Arie to make sure he knew she picked Jef.

UGH!
