Thanks, Anders. Now I remember Russ was the name. He was a bit off. Glad I remember some things...!!! That was back in the day when I watched unspoiled. Really thought it was Charlie but am glad it worked out for Trista and Ryan.

Looks like the lead makes a toast and clings their glass near the F1. :margarita:

It actually looks like Ben is in the F1 position.............

I agree.....and I might be wrong.....so much for that. However, Ben did get the first rose at the RC. (taking it from 4 down to 3) Ben was standing in the right spot. Okay, ready for the comebacks. LOL

I don't know how anything can be made from this. Ryan is on Trista's right, Jesse is directly across and from DeAnna, and Ed and Roberto are on the left. The argument can be made that a comparison has been made with this season and Trista and Ryan's season. So like Ryan F1 is on the right side. LOL!

What I find interesting about that RC toast pic is that Constantine and Ashley are looking at each other, but Ben and JP look like they're looking at each other but not at Ashley. Interesting for a rumored F1/F2 reaction at that moment.

JP is looking at Ashley's cup to make sure that his cup touches Ashley's that's what i see Kelad

As far as her looking at the other guys, she has to look at all of them when she is talking, especially at toasts.

I've noticed that Ashley and JP have a hard time looking at each other in front of the other guys right now without totally giving away how much they love each other. I especially noticed this when they were in their wedding attire and when they came back in the room after he got that GDR. Ashley had this look on her face like she had a secret she wanted to shout from the rooftops. It made me wonder what was said behind closed doors that we didn't get to see.

I agree but William noticed it before he was even eliminated so what ever 'it' is, they both had it early on.

I kinda remember that now. I cannot remember why they fought. Trista was hard core. The F4 guy still lived at home. His family was so glad to meet her but she seemed turned off that he lived at home. Then, Russ was 'in between jobs' and that seemed to turn her off too. I wish I could remember why they fought. She didn't budge when Ryan was almost begging for some kind of affirmation. I felt so bad for him.

Given that this was about 9 years ago (right?) my memory is a bit hazy. But I just think Russ wasn't that supportive and/or polite to Trista and she called him on it. Kind of like he was cocky and a bit self-absorbed. I just remember thinking he was a bit off and a bit scary. Anyone else remember it that way?

Yeah, sorta. But I really think that it was a case of not right for each other. I saw some protracted interview with Russ after it was all over and he seemed totally different from his edit on the show.

I don't think you can use DeAnna's season, she just went down the line(1, 2, 3) and didn't smile calling their names out.

IA. Her season was a total bust. The only clip from her season I can ever watch on repeat is her flipping out at the bbq because she wasn't the center of attention for a whole 5 minutes. It gets me every time. ahaha

Well, in her defense, the flip out at the BBQ was totally about Graham and his withholding of affection/a kiss at the race track date. She really should have gotten rid of him at the RC and, in the current format, she could have sent him home from the group date if she wanted to. LOL!

Graham knew he wasn't going to open up/get invested in that short period of time and should have gotten out earlier. Jesse had been hanging around in friend mode but he was really the only other guy she had connected with - according to Twilley in his media interview. I picked up on whatever it was with her and Jesse early on and was in no way surprised when she picked him. I was pulling for them at the time because that was the only other viable relationship I saw out of that group.

Turns out he was no where near the person he sold to her but given how things went in her season, her only other option would have been to have chosen no one and now she wishes that is what she would have done.

It's funny that she, along with the Stag twins, are all friends now. Things work out.
