You guys act like the lead picks who people want.  It's not American Idol.

 You gave me a good laugh, atem. It's so true.  

I don't really see that time is an indication that Trish could be f1. They'll fit in what they need in any case. IMO they're playing up April potentially leaving because she is the f1. There's really been no doubt introduced with Trish, it's all been April.

good one atem

Agreed albean!

This whole season has been dedicated to April and her storyline, the rest are just sub-plots so that they can put together a season. I think April's "complicated" edit has the average viewer thinking that she's leaving and that she's not ready. I think the producers may have overplayed her skepticism, to the point where some have missed the connection and how Tim was all about chasing April, and getting her approval so to speak. Many long time viewers pay attention to the subtle things in the edit, and Bach 101 tells us to watch who the lead is chasing. It's as simple as that. Tim did not chase Trish, all he kept talking about was how much he enjoyed her company, they had fun and laughed a lot, but he wondered if it went deeper than that. Again, simple answer, no it didn't go deeper, and would never as he was much more interested in April.

I think on Tuesday, we're going to get a few minutes of Trish, her talking about falling for him, see her disappointment when Tim let's her go, either pre FRC or at it. The rest of the time will be all about April... as per usual. They didn't have to divide the show 1/2 FRC and 1/2 hours ATFR....if they had more pertinent info to relay, it could have been a 45 min FRC and a quick update near end for an ATFR... but they didn't. In that hour, they seem to want to have us seem how their relationship has progressed, so I'm thinking that they want us to see how April and Tim's relationship has flourished outside the confines of the Bach, where she didn't have to doubt that he was having feelings for another woman.

Anyway, that's what I think, right or wrong, it's what I got out of watching this season.

Yup - that's it in a nutshell nv. Even if it hadnt been the April show from the Meet and Greet on, Trish's "storyline' has no dilemma to be resolved at the end. April's does - and that's what happens every single season. With Trisha , there's just no there, there.

well said NV

i've come accross an article on Tim's blog. The title is "On other's expectation of you" it has been posted on 6th April.

I’m always impressed by how differently we can act when we have no other choice. Other people’s expectations of us in these situations are the same thing. The things we’ll do, the trauma we’ll endure or the confidence we suddenly pull out of nowhere are all amazing. So put yourself in situations that scare the poop out of you… I think you’ll be surprised how well you do, when failure isn’t an option and everyone is expecting the best from you.

No wonder he was that understanding of april's fears.

They played up Brooks leaving and he did. I don't think April necessarily leaves but it may come down to Tim not choosing her in the end.

IA. It is as simple as what Tim said concerning April being scared.

Tim: "She's scared. I'm scared. But we have to be able to work through it together."
-- Tim understood April's fears because he had the same fears. He wanted April to trust him that what he and she were feeling was REAL and not just bachelor-bubble created. In fact, that is all he ever said the whole season regarding April—trust.  
-- "Work through it together" ... This goes back to what he said and promised to April when she was upset.  

Even without blog-gate, all signs point to April=F1, imo. Here is the major post-FRC statement that Tim makes that indicates this:

Tim: "I am getting ready to propose to someone this week, and I can't do that with someone that is closed off. That person has to trust me."
-- When Tim says "That person has to trust me"... trust has been the theme with April and Tim the whole season. Tim has never once told Trish to trust him or said the word 'propose' to Trish (only to April).
-- Tim was only talking about April when he says "someone that is closed off." Trish was never shown as closed off—nervous, yes, but not closed off. And, strangely enough, even after Trish said she was nervous she said it was EXCITING to be a bit nervous. There's a huge, and I mean, huge difference between being excitedly nervous and closed-off.

I for one am looking forward to seeing some sweeping music... where, instead of darkening clouds of drama-doom like we saw right before April's upset, we will see the dark clouds part and the sun shining gloriously. A transition from fear to trust (love).

I like that, AAL. Journey from fear to trust. I think they are very happy now and I predict they will be for a long time to come. 3 more days until they can be in public.

Now things are getting interesting:

He is actually doing a Bachelor Gig at a Night Club like Brad had to do and it isn't in Alberta.

It's in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Most eligible bachelor?  Umm..  Wouldn't April or Trish have something to say about that.  When I typed "about" it was in a canadian voice btw.

Thanks for the heads up.  Had me wavering.

Added: His next tweet made sure to let everyone know it was for charity.

At this time he is still single until the AFTR. I have a question- Do they set up interviews for the bachelor like they do here after the show? TIA
