How can it be "LIVE" if they use footage from ATFR in the preview? 

The preview shows footage from WTA. They can't show us a preview of actual ATFR because it hasn't happened yet.

They didn't. I just watched the preview. It was the WTA at least Chris's part was

IDK - to me, the show always seems to overhype and underdeliver on the ending twists and turns. I get that they want to draw in viewers and therefore need to create an impression that something really unexpected happens though but it's rarely as dramatic as they build it up to be.

A case in point ^^^^^ Or on Sean's season - the letter a sternfaced CH gave to Sean with the ominous words "I think you ought to read it" which had the forums speculating that his F1 broke up just before the FRC. It turned out to be a very sweet love letter from Catherine and it changed nothing - in spite of the fact it was promoted as "this could change everything".

Each season the show gives inside information to one tabloid who then writes an article about the finale - always leaving out who the F1 really is but talking about how the season ended; the information is usually very accurate (not 100% but close) because if it's inaccurate the tabloid loses credibility and they won't run with next season's story because being too wrong too often is bad for business. The last couple of years it's been US Weekly that gets the scoop and I think they did this year. IMO we'll find that the article is pretty much correct.

  Wonder why they would use WTA footage in a preview about a twist?

The images are NOT from ATFR, they are from WTA and Whitney in Des Moines and Becca in something strapless...

To make it seem more dramatic. Like I just posted - they always seem to overhype and underdeliver IMO.

^^Cause it was a good solo shot of Chris

I edited my post - I got over-stimulated and tried to leap into the future, or something cray like that. Anyway, the point is that the ATFR 'surprise twist' had been thought to relate to the FRC instead.

It's all good, BKay. This show overstimulates a lot of people.

I think they are going to have a cliff hanger FRC..than cue into the ATFR....

I don't care if the show hypes the "twist", but Becca mentioned #unexpectedtwist a few months ago.  The same time she used #statementnecklace.  My focus is on those words.
