Her ring is the largest in bachelorette history. She said, to the source, that all she did with final 1 in the FS was talk, read, and cuddle.  giggle  

Right.  Suspect  But it is how I would expect her to answer. ;)

^^ Now I read the whole thing quite differently! I thought the article was saying that after the proposal, the couple didn't leave the hotel room to use the private beach!  Shows you where my head is at....

ITA.

Andi started icing Josh out the moment Josh appeared. He had to break through a lot of walls and defenses and preconceived notions before she became herself with him. All of their beginning conversations were Josh trying to figure out what he already did wrong because she was subtly being so icy and guarded with him. It wasn't until their 1:1 when she finally caved to his pressure and told him the truth about the cheating.

Andi was being subtle enough being on guard imo that if he really wanted to be the next Bach or didn't care about her, he could have ignored it, ridden the wave all the way to f3 because of course he was going to be at least f3 no matter what unless he was a total putz, and then became the next Bach no issues. No, instead, he figured out all the random insecurities she had dreamed up to have about him and then proceeded to figure out how to put them to rest because she's the one he wants for real (I think).

When he was frustrated during their lie detector debacle, Andi was pressing him for an ifly because any frustration he may be experiencing automatically equaled that he's leaving and breaking her heart ASAP. I didn't get the sense that Josh even knew that the correct answer was I LOVE YOU to her escalating the fight like that with him.

So from what I've seen, I think when Andi is being normal, their communication is just fine. I don't know how Josh ever could have communicated with someone who decided right off the bat that he's one bad dude and further started freaking out on him the moment he expressed any frustration with the "process." When she relaxed a little at the cocktail party, they had a normal conversation and she told him the truth- she's afraid she sees heartbreak in her future with him. They once again talked about how he was frustrated and she was confused and felt bad on their 1:1. Half the time she hasn't even been genuine with him so of course the poor guy is running around in circles trying to understand why she's a little nuts.

After spending at least a week in DR--did they need a beach day, either way?

Thanks, MOT--you nailed it, Chris def. goes home at F3 before the FS.
I wonder if TPTB make them delete that photo?
Interesting how tptb released the foreshortened sc --putting yellow striped cushions as a prop from one place to the other and then the one of the bottom half of A's white dress. Tricky, tricky.
