I hope for her sake, she somehow pulls it off but it is my opinion that she thinks she is good at BS'ing her way around issues which all comes across as fake. Just think about her behavior on the Red Carpet. "Yeahhhh yeahhhh Josh has to taste the food" paraphrasing

CH will make sure he does his job.

If she had truly learned, she would have turned this down.

Pretty much every attempt at interviewing her to repair/soften her image has tanked. From what I have seen, she is too full of herself to take constructive criticism and she surrounds herself with enablers. Oh, she will try, but, they will push and prod until they get her irritated enough and they get their bitchy edit.

I totally agree...I don't think they like her and could care less what happens to her. I think they will end up throwing her under the proverbial bus, particularly if they are keeping their options open for Josh.

Unlike the Nikki interview where Nikki was being goaded and prodded to spill the worst about Jaun P but didn't (I was really impressed), CH has no reason to try and throw Josh under the bus so Andi has it easy that way.
She does have difficulty in coming across as soft and sympathetic so regardless of who is at "fault" here there is every likelyhood that she won't come across positively. I for one would be pleasantly surprised if she does.
This will be a reason for me to tune in when it airs - this current season has generated 0 interest in me so hopefully I will either be surprised at how well she turns out or watching a glorious train wreck. Either way I'm excited.

ok, wasn't going to watch, but now I will. Thanks ND!!

Maybe she'll apologize to Nick....

She doesn't apologize to anyone without making it their fault all in the same breath. is the only pig we have.

I also think Josh will have a hard time NOT getting his side out there if some of his past tweets are any indication. This could get interesting and I'm here for it. *MJ popcorn gif*

That is one great lookin' pig! I will be waiting for the Nick apology.

you can put eyebrows on a pig, but it's still a pig. source link

Respect everyone's opinion and I know I am in the minority here, but I do not think Andi's owes anyone an apology. If anyone "deserves" an apology, it's Josh. ;)

aviej wrote:I wonder if Josh was invited to do it jointly with Andi? If Andi is doing it for money, then that'll be really low. Just doing the interview in my opinion is not flattering. But maybe she got upset about the backlash she received with Josh supposedly calling her out re logging into his emails and his unfollowing her. So maybe this is her response to his rantings. But I do hope she keeps it classy and gives no other information other than what the public already has.

Josh made one post. That is not ranting IMO. She also made her tweet on can't believe some people. So to me they were even there. I don't think this will help Andi at all and hope Josh can resist responding.

They already had until she responds to tweets that don't actually have her named.

This has shades of the interview she did with CH post Eric's death when people criticized her behaviour. That interview was a disaster. I don't expect much better here.

She is unemployed. Has pretty much destroyed any law career she had going. Her designs stink. She is not getting the love and opportunities dished out to more beloved members of the Bachelor clan. This is an attempt at mea culpa, however, despite being a lawyer, she is no Nikki. Even though, I am not a Nikki fan, she was prepared, articulate and kept it classy when grilled about JPab by CH. Andi can't seem to articulate nearly as well and when pushed, instead of remaining calm, her entitlement comes out and she seems to become bitchier. I hope she prepared herself for this one because, unlike Nikki, whose time on the red carpet was limited because it was a live event, CH will have all the time in the world to keep pushing her buttons until they get what they want...and then they will edit. Good luck with that!

Unfortunately Andi doesn't have a natural warm compassion, so this could be really hard to do. Plus I think Nikki actually realized that the break up was both her and JPGs fault. I am not sure Andi sees that she is wrong in much of anything.

Sprite wrote:snipped

For a lawyer, who is supposed to be able to convince a jury through her use of words and logic, she has never been very good at interviews. (I'm beginning to suspect that she sucked at that aspect of law.)

Andi probably needs money and she is attempting to repair and soften her image. I think she saw how well Nikki did and thought she could as well, but, Nikki's interview was constrained by time because it was a live interview. They will have lots of time with Andi and then they will edit. It almost doesn't seem fair.

KB_Mom wrote:^^ As an entry level ADA, with IIRC, less than two years on the job, I doubt Andi did any jury trials.

Andi seems like she is portraying the "tough" DA from a movie. Her getting to know the guys on her season was often more like a bad interrogation on a bad cop show (I love bad cops shows, so I have seen this many times).

Yeah, I don't know how that works either, but I can't imagine that it earns her a living wage being that they were not in it that long. I'm sure the show flew her out to California and she visited her family as the excuse, but it was really for the interview.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Andi ever actually did anything officially for Advocare like Josh does. It seems to me Josh did all of the work and had his official team and Andi kind of just helped him promote it and what not. I know there is a member or two here that is on Josh's team for Advocare so they might have better answers.

I don't have any actual insight, but while they were engaged I'm thinking they probably just shared their finances as a couple or that Andi got some sort of sum for it even though it didn't seem like she ever actually did anything except post about it on social media or she would hop on during the conference calls. What Josh does for Advocare can certainly get him a nice annual salary. I would think she either got her sum while they were together or they just shared their finances. But still, I don't think she did much with it.

When I did multilevel marketing I was the only one who signed up, not my husband, now as married we had to separate our assets, but as a couple and only engaged then she may not have signed a contract and therefore would be eligible for nothing unless Josh was willing to share.

aviej wrote:Or, it could mean that Josh was a workaholic and not being as attentive to Andi as he has been in the past. It happens all the time. Men getting so consumed in work, that everything else becomes secondary. All I'm saying is, there are two ways to look at it.

Or just an opposite opinion, he got engaged to a lawyer and ended up with an unemployed wannabe designer not bringing in a lot of income and her wanting to travel and do appearances so he wasn't able to focus on building his relatively newly relocated financial planning business, so he chose to get into Advocare that he could do from anywhere since he was trying to keep the fiance who wasn't working happy. Again, JMO.

I have heard people say that TPTB love her, but that finale and AFTR were not loving Andi. They were throwing her under the bus and keeping Nick on stage until he outed her. They almost ignored her and Josh at the AFTR and chose in the final segment to make fun of her instead of even showing a montage of their moments or them watching their proposal. So yeah, I think TPTB could throw her under the bus again, but then again if you show up willingly to get run over then do you deserve it?

I was thinking more of h*ll freezing over. If she does actually apologize I will have to come here and admit I was wrong after I finish doing this. :shocked!:

I understand that Josh got engaged to a lawyer but she is not one right one. When the Love t shirt was out i saw on instagram he posted that he was proud that she is trying new things and having fun with it! Did Josh really support her or it is just words? :hidingchair

IMO Andi did this interview 1) for the free flight to LA and $ and b) because she is delusional and doesn't realize that we can see right through her fakeness.  She will sit with down turned lips, "yeahing" and lying through her teeth trying to repair her image. I hope CH point blank asks her why on the red carpet she pretended like everything was great, when 2 days later they announced their break up!  

She doesn't have an empathetic bone in her body. She will attempt neutrality and cordialness towards Josh, but IMO she is too self centered and cold hearted to hide those traits.  I'm just ticked that she's going to be on my tv again!

She better stock up on Tide. I hear those tire tracks are a really b**** to get out. Cue the bus engine.
