I think her wanting to go home is just her wanting to leave before getting rejected.. to be the dumper instead of the dumpee, like she was with her ex. It's not Tim she wants to leave, it's about her not wanting to be humiliated with a rejection.  I realize that all the F2 girls feel that way, but I think that she's extra sensitive to this, and her past relationships, her ex, and with her father leaving her by suicide, obviously her mom has left her too (either walked away or chose a lifestyle over her daughter maybe) she's deathly afraid of any more rejection.  She wants to be with Tim, she wants to explore a relationship with him, she's admitted it and said that she's falling in love with him, but until he can voice his thoughts, and tell her how he feels.. she's going to remain hesitant, in a self preservation kind of way.  I think Tim gets that, and is trying to guide her through this, while remaining in the confines of the show.  

Totally agree. IMO She's realizing that there is a possibility she may not be the F1. She is struggling with the reality of it in a  non reality environment and wondering if her feelings are real or is she just caught up in it all. The disaster with his parents just added to the stress of her doubts about the whole process.

I have a feeling that it didn't go as bad with his parents as they edited it.  Once she got outside with Tim's mom, she seemed to relax and I'm sure they had some nice conversations.

I also noticed during the dates that that there was some wine and a small plate of fruit out... but with April there was the wine, and a much bigger platter of food out.  I wonder why?  was it because, like I and other have suspected, they were both on the same day and everybody could have been more hungry at that point??  hmmm

ITA with both posts. I just watched her MTP date and it was so chopped up that I don't believe it was as bad as it appeared. They just want to through some doubt in.

as you can probably tell.... I'm not very wordy... I get to the point and that's it.  

Oh is it totally okay. I'm not even good at expressing myself in english . As long as the right message get accross, it's all that matter :cutesmile!:

Ha northernviewer - always catching the little things!

Yeah the editors had to work overtime that day.

If Tim didn't propose to April at the Final Rose ceremony, then maybe what he "jokingly" said during his KISS radio interview was true! They skipped the engagement, spent more time dating exclusively (5days) and get married afterwards. HAHAHA... This is just a theory if that was the case!

I am new both here & to the Bach Can series - Congratulations to the Sleuths here !

After watching the 1ST episode - April in  her Red dress WoW !( Jessica in Roger Rabbit !) = Tim`s double Take = I remember saying - this is Over = He is a Goner !
Them  Sitting on the couch & The swimming with the Shark episode just cemented in my mind what a truly lovely story this was going to be ..but no mystery - haha !

I missed an  episode & then I admit I bit on the Head fakery of the editing as well as the Relationship that Tim seemed to be building with Trish
The jewelery & Tuscan date lead me down  this path - as the show wanted - not so sure that an F2 really wants a consolation prize but the whisper from Tim to Trish at the end of the Home visit did me in & likely her- that will  hurt

I forgot  the  bond he  & April were building & thought he was confessing to Trish  =I  took the bait as  I  think many gals wud  being wispered  this   might  -
After the Final Episode 1 - I was still convinced that April wud tell Tim she was not ready - sad but ..

Someone told me about this group here & I came over & started to read your work that night - I was not happy with the conclusions your group were coming to- slept on it  & then went over the story again- Some stories are really so special

Tim is really 1 very lucky guy - how many  are in a  life changing situation that they get to  choose between 2 such  lovely ladies that both are really  into in Him- he would be lucky to be with either.

So -I came back to   my initial feeling( as the group here )  that he was so smitten with April &  that if she was a Lady of Substance ( which she has clearly shown) he would do Anything to be with her

If you are old enough & have been fortunate to meet great people on your travels  - we   likely have all been in that spot of  being someone``s   F!,F2 or lead-  it is  not easy to be someone``s F2 in a relationship but if &  when you can  stand back a bit  & the  bruised feelings ease - you can share others great joy especially when you  witness=  2 intendeds meeting - it is beautiful  -

I salut the Sleuths here -what a lovely love story-can`t wait to see them both smiling

If there are any true close friends of Trish here - I hope you have Stood by her & helped her thru this tough patch - she is also a Lovely Lady
To Trish - stay on the High road thru all of this  - you  will never Regret that choice - & when you  are  ready &  you least expect it- you  will meet that Special Mr.Right  - he is more than  likey to be on that path

Raggy 43, great first post.

I think the editors accomplished what they wanted viewers to think with Trish and Tim's Italy date. However, the normal viewer doesn't analyze in depth editing and other factors like we do on this forum, which tells a different story. JMHO

Raggy 43 What a post for a first

 Raggy43. Great post!

Raggy43...loved your post. I think April had Tim at hello!

Glad to have you here.

This was beautiful to read! Raggy... lovely to have you here :cheerpom:

Just thinking now how wonderful it must have been for April to watch the show and see Tim just chasing, chasing, chasing her. Literally and figuratively. She was right,Tim loves her so, so passionately! So unconditionally! Just amazing!

Given the premise of the show, I think Tim has done the best job ever as a Bach lead in being as authentic and real in an inauthentic/edited process. Just amazing really. No wonder Tim said he was proud of how he was on the show. We saw Tim say 'don't go" and then his sneaky look at April trying to get close to her by the fire and Kaylynn pointing out Tim and April talking on the couch ... all episode one.

So many critics said it was too obvious from the get go so it couldn't be true. April must be so reassured by Tim and TPTB Canada that they couldn't even hide it because there would be hardly a story (at least not before Italy date). Italy date and onwards, TPTB Canada did an amazing job at showing the love story and creating doubt later on but it was too, too late (for most of us sleuthers and Brad, Bianka, and Sharleen that is for sure - ). The only doubt came in from Italy (which I posted at the time that I thought it was the worst episode based on Tim's BL on his date with Trish) and and then what he said to Trish on her HTD (which many of us here said is just scripted-Tim even if he felt some chemistry it wasn't near what he had with April).

The video I posted awhile back of her reaction that her friends captured on IG to her getting a rose and April saying "yaaay!" Then her blog post on meeting Tim's best bud/bb-fiance? And her final blog post on Tim's unconditional, soulmate love?

*sigh* Best. Season. Ever. Love this couple.
