Going by the press release. Josh's is being shown first. But we have no idea about real time.

In part yes I do think that.

But another part is that I think even casual viewers might wonder "why" if they only see one guy at the FRC and to avoid as much speculation as possible they just show no one but Andi. Sleuthers are still going to be all over "why no previews of the FRC" but the casual viewer isn't going to notice they are missing.

If both guys actually went to the FRC, the producers would be smart to only show ONE guy in previews…..that would get even the casual viewer talking.

BOTH guys works too!!

Right, like in Des's season, Chris was the only one in the limo and he looked emotional in the clip. If I remember correctly, it was just sweat

Maybe MF is saying to the sleuthers,  "Good luck with that".

Maybe not necessarily to "us", but certainly to viewers. There are reasons they give us the scs they do and reasons they don't give other scs.  Usually we get ring, prep, limo and the walk scs. We didn't get any this time around.
 So either they are hiding something or they want to create suspense. I vote the former.  This is what they did for Brooks we got no scs of LCD, MTP that would tell he left. 
 It also leaves the audience with a gentler, more sympathetic view of the lead because she lets the F2 go before the FRC.  Ashley got backlash for Ben at the FRC. Hasn't it been since her season that the F2 was let go early--possibly to avoid that backlash?

To me it seems that Nick has been "going through the motions" as well. Watching his body language from HTD to present, he rarely seems to engage her. FD when he is telling her ILY his hands are in his pockets and behind his back. Not much touching on beach during day portion of FD date, etc. Maybe Nick decides to call it quits before the FRC. Then he needs to say some additional things to her so puts it in letter form.

True enough, but I don't think TPTB really care about making the lead look better. Maybe the leads are getting better about negotiating their agreements, allowing them to let people go early if appropriate. Sean certainly did not let anyone go early and I think he knew pretty early on that it was Catherine. (At least by HT)

But Yawn was TB and not the 'Ette. Since Ashley's season with that horrible backlash re--Ben proposing, that scenario has not happened. I don't think it is coincidence. 
Every season this forum, alone, has endless posts regarding this "what if" situation and how horrible it would be for the poor F2 and how bad the lead would be for allowing this. 
So letting the F2 go before the proposal/FRC takes that whole scenario out of the equation.

I like it this way so much more. The FRC should be romantic for the Ette imo.

I agree. Whereas in earlier seasons, getting 2 proposals for the Bachelorette seemed to be their goal, I think the producers have finally wised up and realized that it isn't what the fans want to see. Since Ashley had to endure it, they have let Emily and Des off the hook, and now perhaps Andi, indicating that at least in this one area, they are acting less sadistic than usual. Thank G-d for small favors, I guess.
