Ok, look at the body language on Josh.  Own the place much?  It's the little things that bug me!    

I assume Momma Murphy forgot to teach him to keep his feet off the furniture, especially in someone else's home.
His little things bug me, too.

All joking aside, I do see the possibility of somebody leaving and coming back after she dumps others unexpectedly.

Oh my JBF is the best

We have to draw the line at some point. There is no way he can get that kind of information without the "help" of production. Those fantasy dates are better monitored than all of the earlier ones. He certainly got plenty of "help" during Des' season.

Information up to hometowns... OK.

Information gathered post-show about Andi caught kissing Josh in K-Mart's Doritos aisle... OK. Remember when Ashley and JP were photographed leaving the same building during her season and only the Canadian edition of Entertainment Tonight reported it?

His batting average with Bachelor, not Bachelorette, is pretty good. Just Brad's season was a bomb for him there. Part of the reason may be because he does more actual sleuthing in November and December (when the holidays may prompt an easing off in regards to production's "hold"). Even when he thinks he knows the end result a few days after FRC and tentatively squeals his spoiler early online, he will still doublecheck himself further.

Unfortunately, he is not at his best in the month of May, during that short two week period between FRC and episode #1's broadcast... and Mike Fleiss knows it. They also know how much more gullible he is to a "set pattern". If there is some sort of twist this season, they can easily plant "evidence" that will convince him this season is the same as others. (For example, we are not even sure if any contestants leave to attend Eric's funeral and come back, which is something Ron... leaving for his friend's death... didn't do but it might be allowed if she wants that guy back.)

Right now, there are several threads on the motherboard (abc.com) discussing Steve Boy's spoilers, even using the initial "RS" in a couple posts. At least two posts I have read say "video leak with Nick kind of sealed it for me".  Another reads "This season is done and over with already. Everyone knows who she will pick." You can find them if you search the right threads.

No effort is made to delete them as in past seasons that had "RS" correct. Why?

One possible reason: they may not "care" anymore.

Another: they do... and are OK because "RS" is wrong.

You can view this either way you want. Of course, Josh fans will view it the first way. Nothing wrong with that. I think they do make a... humorous... couple myself.

One thread labeled "MAJOR SPOILER, if true. Proceed with caution and skepticsm" is all about Chris being the next bachelor thanks to a "popular source". It has been up for two days. Maybe the monitors will delete it later today? They are mighty slow doing so. You can keep checking if it is still there, if you are curious.

On the other hand, another thread suggesting she is moving from Atlanta was deleted several weeks ago... very hastily in fact... until a second thread was started more recently that references the online article claiming she is moving to Hollywood to start an acting career. Of course, you can read all of the sarcastic comments on THAT one.

I don't understand the "psychology" of ABC and Fleiss or why they do certain things... nor will I ever. However, I do recall being firmly convinced that Chris Lambton would wind up with Ali until... a thread about Roberto moving to California suddenly vanished at abc.com and I questioned myself "why?"

These seasons are real puzzle pieces. Sometimes Fleiss isn't terribly concerned if his show is spoiled since he knows it will get the ratings he wants or he isn't that "gooey" about the lead. Other times, he hires his own version of Price Waterhouse Coopers keeping the end result a secret. Again, this would be especially true if there is a twist in the end... even potentially an alternative one.
