Hey, Max can not be blamed for MeAndI's grumpy cat face, we only use what she gives us.

I couldn't resist! Can you imagine waking up to that face

In your lines of interest JBF the last sentence of 61 is very interesting. Andi in present tense says "I will be very happy to have them as MY sisters". Hmmmm...Why did she use present tense and not say I would or could be happy instead of I will be happy? Chris's edit has been so subliminal this season with scenes shownin him when key things are said. I feel like he has been patiently waiting with hope in his heart that Andi would see everyone's true colors in the end. The editors know the outcome so have they been playing this mind game all season with us hoping the audience will figure this out with Andi?

In preview for next week there were two sound bites where Andi says her heart and her mind don't match up and Chris says what does your gut tell you. Maybe her heart tells her one guy (Josh), her mind tell her another guy (Nick), but her gut is inbetween and tells her the other guy (Chris) is perfect? My gut just hopes she chooses wisely.

From Andi's blog

Chris’s Grand Gesture
I was the most excited to go to Arlington, Iowa. I really wanted to prove to Chris that although I live in a city, I am a country girl at heart. This hometown was also the most important one because I knew if Chris and I ended up together, I would be moving to Iowa. It was crucial for me to see if I could establish a life here. I honestly had never pictured a life in Iowa before, but Chris was such an amazing guy that I wanted to give it a chance.

I met Chris at his house, and let me just say that I was impressed. He lived in this huge place all by himself and he was so cute because he kept saying how it needed a woman's touch. After that, he wanted me to take a ride on his tractor and we had such a good time. We had such a blast driving around, and we even tried to scare the producers by driving it toward them! The best part of the daytime had to be when Chris had that plane fly over our picnic. I remember being so blown away by the gesture. I loved watching Chris transform from the secret admirer to this man who would fly a banner announcing his feelings to the world.

Meeting Chris's family was one of the highlights of the entire week. His family was the type that you just can't help but want to be a part of. They were so welcoming and warm. I loved that his sisters were able to poke fun of Chris but also brag about him like loving sisters do. His mom gave me such incredible insight and encouragement about life on the farm and about life in general. Everyone was truly happy for Chris and so supportive. We ended the night with a game of "Ghost in the Graveyard," which really made me feel included in this wonderful family. I definitely left Iowa with a new perspective on Chris and on our relationship.

Josh Falls in Love
I met Josh on Bayshore Boulevard in his hometown of Tampa Bay, Florida. It was great to see Josh because our chemistry was through the roof, especially after learning in Belgium that Josh was falling in love. I was really hoping that Josh was going to take me to play baseball, and I was excited when he told me that's what we would be doing that day. I knew baseball was a huge part of Josh’s life, but I didn’t realize that Josh had struggles with the sport and how he doesn't play anymore. I felt honored that Josh shared baseball and that part of his life with me. My favorite moment, though, is something you didn't get to see! Josh made this hugely romantic gesture and gave me a bouquet of ten roses. Josh went on to explain that the first seven of the roses symbolized the amount I had given him so far, and that the remaining three symbolized the roses that he hoped I would give him, including that final rose. A very bold gesture, but very romantic!


It was time to meet Josh's family, and I was nervous to say the least! Throughout getting to know Josh, I knew that he always put his family before himself. I admired that quality about Josh but really wanted Josh to be focus of that hometown. I knew it was going to be especially challenging, because at the time of the visit, Josh's brother, Aaron, was in the midst of preparing for the NFL draft. The fact that Aaron would potentially be drafted was obviously a huge deal and something that Josh and his family were enormously proud of. I knew Josh was going to want to know everything about his brother's football career while he was away, but I wanted there to be a balance between football and telling the family what Josh has been up to as well. I was happy to see how interested the family was in Josh and how supportive and happy they were for him! I was genuinely surprised when Josh's mom told me that Josh was definitely in love. That made me feel so much better about the hometown and what Josh and I were building.

In your lines of interest JBF the last sentence of 61 is very interesting.  Andi in present tense says "I will be very happy to have them as MY sisters".  Hmmmm...Why did she use present tense and not say I would or could be happy instead of I will be happy? Chris's edit has been so subliminal this season with scenes shownin him when key things are said. I feel like he has been patiently waiting with hope in his heart that Andi would see everyone's true colors in the end. The editors know the outcome so have they been playing this mind game all season with us hoping the audience will figure this out with Andi?  

In preview for next week there were two sound bites where Andi says her heart and her mind don't match up and Chris says what does your gut tell you. Maybe her heart tells her one guy (Josh), her mind tell her another guy (Nick), but her gut is inbetween and tells her the other guy (Chris) is perfect?  My gut just hopes she chooses wisely.

She even adds "without a doubt" to that sentence as reinforcement. She is not even doubting they will be her sisters.

Regarding "gut"... in episode 2's date, he discussed proposing to a girl before and realizing it wasn't right.

"One thing that kinda resonated with me today with the couple (who said he and Andi looked like a perfect couple) was I asked them that question of when do you know? How do you know? She is, like, you just got to know in your gut, you know? When I proposed, I knew it wasn't in my gut. I was using my head instead of my heart. I will never do that again."

After eliminating some guys (including Bradley and Nick S) in rose ceremony #3, she says "Not easy but… I’m gonna go with my gut and my gut looks like it was right now."

Both "heart" and "head" were brought up in Chris' hometown for better or for worse, so they are both accounted for with him. "Seeing that sign just shook me, like, totally melted my heart." and "My head is spinning at this point. There is definitely a huge momentum with Chris, like… maybe it is taking a hometown for me to realize this is a man who has been standing in front of me the whole time."

Also Mommy Linda: "You just have to know what’s in your heart."

If her head is spinning, maybe it is not being useful in this situation. Chris used head over heart the last time.

Perhaps each of the other two guys represent one over the other? She told Nick's littlest sister that they had a "mental connection".

I always liked Josh. Just because I am not "rooting" for him like the Spoiler Fan Club, doesn't mean I don't see him and Andi as buddies at least. The primary thing that bothers me about those two's body language is that she won't stop stroking her hair. I think she may have with Chris when it got breezy on the cornfield, but this constant stroking every time Josh talks is getting weirder and weirder. Maybe she does it to control that undeniable physical chemistry she has with him... I dunno. She does strokes with a couple other guys too,  so the "heat" is not restricted to just him.

Yep, just because she's grumpy for a lot of that HTD, it can't be blamed on Max!

I wonder if Chris is the one that could bail?  That it's his decision.
He asks "where's your gut at right now"?  Maybe her response is enough of an indication that she's not all in, and he decides to leave.

I don't know about that, but man, if he is not F1 I will be GLUED to my tv if he is the bachelor!!!

[Fleurdesel]

I'm ready to be GLUED   , it's been awhile, I haven't been this excited about an upcoming Bachelor season! It's about time! Maybe Andi and Chris both decided after their conversation that it was best for him to leave...I could see that happening...

Possibly, but that puzzles me, what could possible be said that would cause him to not finish the date? (that is if he does leave?) After everything that she had just proclaimed on his HTD, and very excitedly I might add, what could possible go that wrong?

[GuardianAngel]

I will be glued as well. I have his hairline all mapped out for future reference.
