So I missed all of Nick and Josh's dates last night, we were under a tornado warning and the local station took over; returned us back to the regularly scheduled programming at the start of Chris' date.  I'm pouting as I really wanted to see their dates.  Guess I'll just have to break down and see if I can see them on Hulu or the ABC website. Urgh!  

Sophie posted Josh and Andi date in the Josh fan forum screencaps.

Wasn't Andi with Josh when she's wondering if something will go wrong? Foreshadowing???

I know I'm a party of one, but I kind of love Andi. I think she is legitimately trying to do the best for everyone including herself. I think she's open to all relationships and backing out only when she is confident about her feelings. Chris seemed respectful of her decision and grateful for the timing.

Admittedly, I'm looking through Jodi colored glasses. They're freakin' adorable together. I want it to be two weeks from now already so I can finally let me freak flag fly and lap up all the post-show media and cuteness. Don't let me down!

I like Andi too. She is who she is and aknowledge it. I think she tries hard to "do the job" and that is one issue... it should feel to us viewers that it is a job.
but i like that she has been opened, and honest (as much as they'll let TB be!)

I agree with both of you. The lead always has a tough balancing act to pull off. I love Sean, and yet at the time there were comments that he should not have led Lindsay so thoroughly. It's just the nature of the bach. Plus, it seems to me that the female leads get more heavily criticized, which is to be expected when the majority of the viewers are female. I like Andi and think she is a good person who has tried hard to do the right thing within the structure of this show. But then, I have liked all the bachelorettes so far.

As someone who has not liked all the B'ettes in the past, I agree with those who find Andi to be authentic and resolute in her choices along the way. The situation is a catch-22 in many respects and a lead will never please all of the masses. As viewers we view this show through our own lens of preference, personal experience and values. In my lens, Andi has been true to herself and to her obligation in the role. She has been genuine and caring in the feedback whe has given each man as he has left. Her heart has been open and her mind has been appropriately cautious. So here she is at the end with two men she cares about, even loves. Both very different people. In the end while Andi may love them both, she is ony "in love" with one of them. (to paraphrase JP after LCD, talking about Ashley, Ben and hmself). To me Andi will be remembered as one of the best B'ette's to date.

Just read CH blog. The results of the lie detector test will be read at the MTA. I hope they leave Josh's out since he is not there and Nick did not take it. That would only be fair.

I don't mind them revealing the results, especially if it reflects that Josh was actually one of the three deemed to have been truthful.    But it really doesn't matter because they are not always reliable. I hope that whatever they reveal is really all for laughs and that nothing reflects absolutely terribly for the guys. We've heard the worst for Dylan already I suspect, for example.

Guess they felt they wouldn't get enough drama from these guys since they all mostly got along. I would hope they don't read Josh's since he's not there and he was the one that an issue even taking it.

I don't think so; just more of her insecurity showing up and fear that finding her great love is still too good to be true.

Great post, Northstargirl.
I didn't start out enthusiastic about Andi's season, mainly because of her exit scene with Juan Pablo. But she has chipped away at any objections I had about her, and I have actually become a fan. I think she is one smart cookie to have navigated the dangerous Bachelor waters as well as she has. After watching her FDs, I really do buy her sincerity. I can't remember another lead who has pleasantly surprised me as much as Andi.

Anyone else hear Andi say, This is the "LAST rose" ceremony?? what about the FRC?

Wonder if she already knew she was letting 1 go before FRC..  I just thought it was strange but maybe not a big deal.

[Guest]

I noticed that too. I just thought she meant like, a RC with the guys together?

RS already stated what they lied about and who told the truth. Josh told two lies, but we never find out what those were. Of course.
