I have said this all along, GA.  Josh says what he "thinks" she wants to hear.  When Andi would point out something that bothers her about men, and dating, he would always say "I would never do that."  

I am still disturbed about the "haven't dated in 5 years" statement.  Yet, we are supposed to believe he quit baseball to start a family, but hasn't made an effort in 5 years to start that family.  

I don't think he is a bad guy at all, but sends out tons of relationship red flags. IF he is the F1, I don't think the relationship will survive very long.

When it comes to relationships are own personal experiences influence our view of things.  I don't understand how people would think not having a relationship for 5 years is a red flag.  I think a big red flag would be someone that has had a 5 year relationship and calling it quits.   Everyone can have their own opinion but I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about JP & Ashley and look at them.  

4health I too remember the red flags everyone was talking about with JP and Ashley!!!  She is into Josh and no way she sends him home or they just "talk" all night!! ;)

Things always get very real in hometown week. Watching how emotional the guys became to see their loved ones again reminded me vividly of just how homesick I was in my final weeks of filming. We underestimate the comfort of our loved ones until it’s no longer an option to confide in them. Add to this the raw reactions of Andi and the final four to Eric Hill’s death—something I thought was difficult to watch but a respectful move on the show’s part—and episode 8 is easily the most emotional episode this season.

I really felt for Andi on many levels this week. I personally do believe it’s possible to love more than one person at once and, most of the time, one of the main things preventing that is circumstance. So imagine a circumstance dedicated to meeting and liking numerous attractive candidates and having your feelings for one another accelerated by a time and environmental warp. While in the beginning her position seems like an enviable one, I think it’s way harder than it looks—and whoa, did this week look difficult.

My frontrunners, in order:

Josh

1. Josh, 29: It’s almost eerie how seamlessly Andi fits into his family. They’re like-minded, athletic and generally seemed to be themselves around Andi—and she with them. I was a bit distracted by how much Andi looks like the fourth sibling of the Murray clan, but got over it quickly: Andi cares for Josh a lot, in the ways that matter. She was steadfastly supportive of him despite all the attention his brother was receiving. What I liked so much about this date was that it exposed Andi’s softer, less confrontational, more supportive and womanly side, which up until now I mostly only saw when she was with Nick. This was a HUGE deal for me and solidified Josh as my top frontrunner this week.

Weird when I click on the blog I only see episode 7 recaps, anyone else having this issue?

No way Hose!! Call me "TeamIdiot",IMO, she will never going to be able to send him home without loosing herself in the process. They are too intertwined.
She is too dip in. here what Sharleen said in her blog;

Just carry a jumbo sized jar of Jif--smooth if your F2 and crunchy if your F1. We don't want you to violate anything--including the peanut butter.

Now wouldn't you just die if a picture of that appeared????

Seriously, no.
I am expecting it.
Aren't you?   
Seriously.

I think they have painted all these guys so one dimensional, I hate that. I think thats the most fun side of Josh I have seen.

I could like this couple.  Another reason to hate TPTB, why not show us more of fun Josh and Andi and less of the drama, can I trust him crap?
