The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - F4 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

This season is different. Corey Stansell, Shawn, and others tweeted pics of themselves leaving for filming. Both of them had letters to employers explaining they are leaving to film on the Bachelorette. Corey threw himself a big going away party.

Those that have been following Nick for over a year now, know his SM habits. Some of which stands out like a sore thumb, that it isn't him tweeting. This is all speculation.

IMO Nick is well known, compared to the other remaining guys. If he was back to work, or in Chicago, or travelling, someone would snap a pic. If he wasn't on the previous season, and there wasn't prior SM activity before Kaitlyn was named as the 'ette, he would be just another regular contestant.

We don't know that he's getting special treatment, perhaps its TPTB that want to keep the storyboard intact.

We are in the homestretch of filming. He's either locked up, or in the F3. I can't see Kaitlyn keeping him this long if he isn't in the F3. I would think he goes at F3, like Kaitlyn or he's the F1, not putting him through the F2 nightmare again. JMHO

I think it's logical to let/make Nick have some SM activity. Most people don't know he's back on the show and he's got quite a big SM following. It would raise questions if he suddenly went quiet for weeks. And this way even the people who know he's on the show won't know when he's off, since he's been active all along. Genius really. I'm sure Elan trusts Nick to have learned his lesson from the plane vid fiasco. The new guys are always wild cards, so it's best to keep them off their phones.

thanks for bringing that over - our speculations sound like they might be on point and last week was F3 and this week F2!! great work team
what do yall think he meant by "quickest turnaround" last week?

shortest season?

this would mean 

last week - F3
this week - F2
- MTP
- LCD
- FRC

so they skipped FD???

I think they either had FD's during the last week in Ireland, which would be a bit icky, OR they have LCD's with an overnight portion. Then it would be only 2 guys going behind closed doors.

LCD/FD option would be a great change.
I've been thinking the same since we heard about the Ireland extension.
  The onsie sleep-over option as part of the LCD.

Regarding the bolded above.... the question is more, has Nick learned his lesson. I do think the ATR exposure was as much producer manipulation as anything- and Nick, whether they were holding the plane video over his head or not, succumbed to it. And he know the power of the edit at this point. So, will he give the tptb "good tv" (which might be good for him and might be bad for him since tptb like drama for "good tv") or once he gets on the show to pursue Kaitlyn will be give them nothing but romance to show.

It's nice that RS has come out and said the FRC is this week, when a good number have been saying for a while that at this point we are down to the wire with 2 left. 
Kudos to him. Not so much.

Most bachelorettes find a reason to go to fantasy suite behind closed doors with the final two only. Even going with the F2 is awkward for them afterwards especially if they mislead the F2 guy. Andi anyone?
I really thought Josh had a lot of baggage with Andi since he knew she slept with Nick right before accepting his proposal.

Am I the only one who find nick tweets now are sounding more like him ?

examkid, didn't you originally post the eliminated guys were being sequestered -- do you still think that is the case and do we know where they would be held at this point?

Nick sounds like Nick, IMO.

I also think they sound more personal and therefore a bit more like him since apr 29. i do think though there is a kind of "handwriting" to tweeting which you can tell over the long period of time of watching tweets that someone sends out particularly based on how they punctuate and use hashtags and mention people...

let me preface this by saying that I'm not taking nick's tweets too seriously at all...but ....
for kicks and giggles -- 

I do think in his tweets pre this season he doesn't use periods much at all ...if you scroll through and search you'd be able to see how he uses periods in between two sentences but rarely at the end...he also rarely ever tweets the way he is often tweeting lately -- two really short phrases separated by periods. 

he generally uses "..." in between strings of thoughts so "can't sleep...won't sleep" "cloudy morning...still no summer!" 

anyways I'm just saying that the sentence structures aren't exactly being used in the same way he usually tweets... i might be totally off but that's my guess... I think they've started having the person tweeting sit with him and get ideas about what's on his mind or something like that...   
I'm probably overthinking this one but I do think this "Some days it Just feels like nothing is going right #smh"
the way it's written it's almost like it was "Just feels like nothing is going right #smh" then the rest of it was added in... that sounds like a very convenient tweet -- just the right amount of spoiler to make ppl think his day isn't going great

essentially i wouldn't take the tweets too seriously as a sign either way but if I were to guess they don't indicate that he's got his phone back yet 100% and he's given full freedom to tweet what he wants... I don't know when that will actually happen -- maybe after the FRC? he's an exception in that there've been tweets from his account throughout ...Nick might continue to play with his followers even after filming tho   just a hunch
