Re: Andi Dorfman & Josh Murray - Media Thread - Fan Forum - Discussion Thread #3

[BachfanNY]

Just throwing this thought out there...is it possible that the original FRC was scheduled for May 8th, however, due to the weather, and possibly also due to Andi's revelation, they moved it to May 9th, and allowed Andi to send Nick home early and they actually had the better day on May 9th before the rain set in again for the FRC?    This would also possibly explain the shortened time that Andi had with her F1.

Just saw the filming schedule above.

She could have left at 7am and been back by 9am to get ready???

, sorry pipe just saw you edited your post!

Ha! Ha!  I didn't realize I had used "underline" instead of "strikeout!"  Hoping Josh isn't striking out tonight!   

Nah, you did use the strikeout, it just came out as an underline when I quoted you, weird!

Bringing this over from the filming schedule thread:

Episode 9 - FDs (3 - 2)
4/28: FD #1 -> Nick Viall
4/29: Travel/Off
4/30: FD #2 -> Chris Soules
5/01: Travel/Off
5/02: FD #3 -> Josh Murray
5/03: 9th Rose Ceremony

5/04: Travel

Episode 10 - MTPs/LCDs/FRC (2 - 1)
5/05: MTP #1 -> ...
5/06: MTP #2 -> ...
5/07: LCD #1 -> ...
5/08: LCD #2 -> ...
5/09: Final Rose Ceremony

May 4 was for travel, but with them already being in DR, it is a bit redundant. So if we bring everything bar the FRC forward that leaves May 8, for Andi to say goodbye to her F2.

According to this Andi would have had to say goodbye to her F2 on the morning of the FRC because as we already know both guys had MTPs and LCDs.   

We do know that the morning of 5/8 was wet and rainy. Could they have postponed the start of LCD #2?

Or as someone upthread mentioned, 5/4 was not a travel day due to already being in the DR and the schedule has a day off between LCD #2 and FRC.

[ironcat]

Is there actual physical evidence/confirmation for the dates of all the MTPs and LCDs or was it just assumption based on past seasons' schedules?  As gurlbrit said, there was no need for a travel day this season since they remained in the same place in the DR, right?

[BachfanNY]

I think this is all we really know for sure, right?

Episode 10 - MTPs/LCDs/FRC (2 - 1)
5/05: MTP #1 -> ... Nick Viall
5/06: MTP #2 -> ... Josh Murray
5/07: LCD #1 -> ...
5/08: LCD #2 -> ...
5/09: Final Rose Ceremony

Episode 10 - MTPs/LCDs/FRC (2 - 1)
5/05: MTP #1 -> ... Nick Viall
5/06: MTP #2 -> ... Josh Murray
5/07: LCD #1 -> ...
5/08: LCD #2 -> ...
5/09: Final Rose Ceremony

So if it is a fact that the MTP are on 5/5 and 5/6, it would appear that Andi let F2 go the morning of LCD #2 if the car ride is anything to go by. This would make sense if Nick's LCD is first and Josh's is second.   Andi decides that Josh is it for her after Nick's LCD and decides to let him go the morning of LCD #2, now TPTB wouldn't be able to show Andi letting Nick go before Josh's LCD as that would give it away.  Have Nick's LCD shown last and let the casual viewer believe that Andi had both LCD's before letting Nick go the morning of the FRC, hence the interview where Andi said she didn't make up her mind until the FRC day.  

This would only apply if the spoiler is correct. My head hurts!

Of course she could have been traveling to meet with CH and discuss it with him, but I would have thought he would have traveled to her to discuss whatever issues she had similar to other early let goes.

If Josh had the second LCD, could Andi have sent Nick home that
Morning and then had her date with Josh that afternoon/evening?

This is what I asked yesterday. If we knew for sure Josh had his LCD second, if he's the F1, I'm thinking she let the F2 go the morning of his LCD because I don't think there's enough time for her on the day of the FRC, knowing she's ready by noon. Plus we have a s/cap somewhere of Josh and Andi's LCD where there were raindrops on the camera, which to me goes hand in hand with the rain in the car s/caps.

That was what the unspoiled thread was leaning and I think it made their head hurt too so I'm not sure they were certain.

GA my post above you has come to the same conclusion.  Makes complete sense to me, also TPTB would have to be tricky as they couldn't show Nick's LCD first (if he had it first), would give it completely away.

 :cutesmile!:

Pander, it's the only scenario that would work with the schedule the way it is. It would also tie in with the discussion that 1st MTP gets 1st LCD.

[Piper61]

^^^Good points, ladies! I believe the same, Josh has 2nd LCD, and Andi let's Nick go the morning of. However, I wonder what Andi and Josh's date consists of since it is raining on May 8th?

[Alanna]

So if she lets Nick go morning of her lcd with Josh, does she tell Josh he's f1? I cannot imagine this scenario playing out with her NOT telling him but then it ruins the suspense. I think she lets him go after both mtps and lcds are done.

Ugh.    I don't know what to think, really! How long do we think her LCD with Josh lasts, and how early does it get dark in the DR?

What historically has the lead told their F1 when the F2 has been let go early?
