I agree and that's why the Heather F4-scenario bothers me. Why build a story that ends like that. It's like killing the protagonist. JMO

They already got the ratings because of the "Heather Show".
After HTDs and if Heather leaving at F4 with a week or so left, people will be upset since she is the viewers favorite.

This is exactly why I believe there is no ATFR.
It is also why I believe they are pushing The Bachelorette and having it air straight away (and get viewers ready for a redemptive love story since they experienced heartbreak with Heather).

Message to who reads ... HI! yes, I swore to not watch The Bachelor again ... and no, it's not because Heather leaves before ... or because I'm a woman ... but because I'm done with the franchise ... I was done with USA version and I'm done with Aussie now too ... it irritates me, annoys me and disappoints me with their tricks ... so all positive.

I'm sorry but if Heather is let go at f4 I have respect for Sam for not actually stringing her along to the f2 to dump her.

Please watch first season of Bachelorette Sam Frost.
I think first seasons are always more about the love story for AU and NZ.
I don't think we will be disappointed in Sam Frost's final choice.

If Heather leaves at F4 and after HTD, then they are definitely highlighting this already based on the promo.
The freezeframe is of Sam on his HTD with Heather (denim shirt).
And Heather talking in VO about genuinely knowing there is something between herself and Sam.
Looks like if she goes F4, then it can explain why, in Ep 1 promo, Heather is heard saying "I am speechless, I don't even know what to say to you right now".
I think viewers will be stunned if/when she is F4 and let go.

I just noticed that whenever Sam is nerve he takes a deep breathe before he speaks.

I agree AAL. She was blindsided and its more evident via the HTD screencaps posted. I would love for Sam to explain what happened. He exit from the show will be interesting for sure.

Lana's arrival really did shake things up.

Thanks for the friendly welcome! I am so sad about Heather. I really thought there was a connection on both sides. Seems they fooled us. Still hoping this is not the case but I am not really looking forward to the shows next week.

Anyone else notice when the cattiness and drama with the girls comes on Heather goes away from it all? In this episode Sam took Heather away and then the drama/cattiness ensued.

This happened with Art and Matilda. She was always out of the drama and Art would take her at CP and talk to her while drama ensued. Too bad Sam only shares a birthday with Art. Art really sets the standard.

I wouldn't be surprised if whatever Sam talked to Heather about they couldn't air it because it was more of the same (Sam reassuring Heather or worse, telling her how much he likes her). He's done it so much already that doing so before letting her go at F4 would be overkill.

Agree, I think Heather has become the protagonist of this story, so I can not see she being dump! The disappointment would be HUGE! And would only harm future seasons.

Glowworm..I think girls who got the gift will not be the one. It has been the case in previous season too. If I am not mistaken.
