Thanks HEA!!!!

From the View Links, No Discussion thread.

Hometown:

Linda: lot of laughs with her friends
Naelle: nice presentation but a bit stiff
Diane: mother (they made her think that she is asking rude question but it is definitely a montage)
Shirley: her mother fell in love with marco (kinda)

Then, we did not see Linda and Marco in the swimming poll as I thought. So I am thinking that my sleuthing about Diane and Marco in a cave hammam was correct (ring and bracelet).

However, Diane is F3 IMO.

We have some footage with shirley on the elephant and blue plane. We have some footage of Linda by the sea (jumping in his arms and at the beach) and we have some footage with diane at the cave.

So we could have a yacht date with Linda and picnic on the beach. (?)

The last image is a boat with some people in white sailing to the horizon. cliche of: he proposed and they left happy ever after.

I am still thinking Linda is F1.

Thanks HEA!

^^ oups. sorry. my mistake

what was interesting in last episode is that Marco said he did not know Diane but he still had a crush on her although he lost respect of her (she did not fight shirley, so for him she is guilty and boneless which is not a quality). Diane said on ITM that she needed to open up or things will not go well for her.

but he also said that he was a bit tired of the joking Linda and wanted to go inside her bubble or he could not build anything solid with her. What was interesting is that she admitted on ITM that she needed to stop the joke defense wall and let him in or she will loose him.

Shirley. He loves her personality but her mother told him that women who loose their temper is not a good thing. How did his mother know unless marco told her. So for me, her mother had a colored vision of each girl and this is why she did not like Diane much. Marco admitted that he did not know if he could handle a hot temper woman at his side.

no mention about Naelle.
ETA: her mother said that she is a full package with a kid and unless he is fully in love, it will not work. He agreed. (plain stupid since he know since day one that she has a kid)

so they all have faults of course to make us think that he hesitates a lot etc... but this is full edits.

His mother said she could not say anything about Linda because marco and linda joked all the time together. Marco even tricked Linda and pretended to translate some question from his mom, when in fact he asked her the questions he wanted answers: what do you like in me?

His mother, at the goodbyes started with shirley and told her she needed to learn italien... then she reacted and looked a bit embarrassed and said, and you and you and you and you, including the other girls.

So she liked shirley's temper and found her very pretty. She liked louise because her biggest goal in her like is to stay home, cook, clean and take care of her man (Marco said that his mom liked her because she loves her values). she said naelle has a child so it is a full package and he needs to be in love to be able to cope, Diane she found that something was not right (methink it is edits and biaised by marco) and linda she said she had no opinion because marco did not include her.

Why diane says that everything went well and then his mother says she does not like her. Diane may not be Einstein but she is not that stupid. I think it is again edits and biaised. Marco knows already that Diane is not the one for him. But... he will still pick her F3 and offer her a hot hammam where they will kiss ad nauseam..... and more if affinity.... IMO

I'm surprised his mother sounds so old fashion. I can see his thinking just because Diane didn't fight with Shirley, he thinks she can't stand up for herself. Another old fashion way of thinking IMO.

Thanks for the recap @HEA!

Very old fashion. His mother basically raised him alone In the ITM in between girls, she think that Marco is almost perfect. everyone loves him (she reacted when shirley said that he is a seductor). His mother put him on a pedestal, that is pretty obvious

So IMO Marco has also this vision of finding a woman with a strong character and if the girl does not, she is just a chick to meet at a club for a night, not girlfriend long term material.

At the end of the day, Diane never had a single date with him. she had 4 hours (her saying in interview), the night at his hotel... and probably the same at the Eiffel tower. Then few moments here and there during the cocktails. (IMO, picking shirley right after the fight is a huge slap on diane's face. A sure sign that she is not the one if we did not know that already)

Out of the 3, it is probably it is probably Shirley he knows the most (full date dining and dancing and watching fireworks favor a lot of conversation... and horse riding the slow path too). Linda's activity (parachute) removed some opportunities to speak and the only moments (seen on tv anyways) were after parachute and the swimming poll in the last episode.

It is interesting to see that activities are generally giving to the girls that conversation are more difficult or just to avoid conversation. If we look at the last week with the last 2 girls, the F2 always has some activity and the F1 a place to relax and talk

Bachelor, le gentleman célibataire : La finale le lundi 2 Mai sur NT1

NewsTele - 13 Avril 2016 , Rédigé par Stéphanie


S/caps (NewsTele) - "Bachelor, le gentleman célibataire" (© NT1)

Le lundi 02 mai à 20h55, NT1 proposera la finale du Bachelor, le gentleman célibataire. Marco va achever sa quête du grand amour lors d'une cérémonie finale. Il y a plusieurs semaines, Marco a rencontré 22 jeunes femmes toutes plus belles les unes que les autres.

Le tout dernier jour de l'aventure est arrivé, Le Bachelor a besoin de revoir une dernière fois les deux prétendantes en tête-à-tête avant de les présenter à son père.
En effet, pour Marco, l'heure est grave : la décision qu'il s'apprête à prendre pourrait bien changer le cours de sa vie. Il lui faut donc s'assurer de choisir la femme capable de faire battre son cœur et avec laquelle il peut imaginer un futur. Avant de faire son choix lors de l'ultime cérémonie de la rose, il fait le point sur ses sentiments.

Sur une magnifique plage du Sri Lanka, Marco va vivre la cérémonie la plus importante : celle qui va changer le cours de sa vie. Notre Bachelor n'a jamais été aussi proche de révéler son amour à la femme dont il est tombé éperdument amoureux. Qui a fait chaviré son cœur ? A qui Marco offrira une bague ?

Proposal confirmed. So far we heard him, now we see the engagement rings.

Right now Shirley is totally berserk about Diane in the magazines. She truly treats her like a piece of trash.

If you go on Laurie's instagram, you'll see a picture of: Linda, Clemence, Naelle and Laurie and it looks like it is nearby Champs Elysées (says 6 weeks)

Then you also see another picture of Laurie, Melanie and Diane in club (6 weeks)

Absolutely no picture of shirley. If Shirley was not that stir-crazy with Diane and all over the place in interviews and magazines, I would say she could be F1 and was dumped by Marco few weeks after the show and decided to do some revenge. On top of saying that marco has a major issue about perspiration, that it is oily and it made her discomfort. Diane said about his perspiration that marco was embarrassed and told one contestant. So for me, to tell that publicly is major nono and revenge attitude IMO.

Linda and Naelle have a couple of interviews but they are way more tame. Diane did not do an interview this week as far as I know.

Public seems to dislike shirley and diane now. They hate shirley's laugh and bitchy attitude and they find diane stupid and annoying with only one sentence: it is complicated.... which is true on both.

Linda is liked but she is also criticized that she has no depth now. Besides her jokes, there is nothing much and they are a bit tired to see no evolution with marco.

Funny note: a day prior the episode, no videos/teasers with Diane. Major spotlights on Linda and Shirley.


Next monday episode: HOMETOWN

LINDA:

Linda has the typical edit: something went wrong at hometown.

Ce nouvel épisode est décisif pour le reste de l’aventure. Le moment pour Marco de rencontrer l’entourage des prétendantes et voire s’il arrive à se projeter dans l’un deux. Les prétendantes connaissent les enjeux de cette rencontre et font le maximum pour que tout se passe bien. Seulement tout ne va pas se passer comme prévu pour Linda. En effet suite à cette rencontre, Marco va douter de la jeune femme et de ses envies. A la suite de cette rencontre, va-t-elle remporter la rose tant attendue ? Ou au contraire, cette rencontre lui sera-t-elle fatale ? Réponse lundi 18 avril à 20h55 sur NT1 ! Bachelor, le gentleman célibataire – extrait - lundi 18 avril 2016

NAELLE

L’heure des rencontres familiales a sonné pour les prétendantes. Marco a besoin de rencontrer leurs entourages pour pouvoir faire son choix. Cette fois, c’est chez Naëlle que le bel italien se rend. Elle l’a bien compris, cette rencontre sera décisive pour elle. Toujours très sûre d’elle, Naëlle décide de sortir le grand jeu à Marco. Mais est-ce suffisant pour se démarquer des autres prétendantes ? Naëlle recevra-t-elle la rose qui lui permettra de continuer l’aventure et de devenir la femme de Marco ?

SHIRLEY

Dans ce nouvel épisode du Bachelor, Marco va à la rencontre des familles des prétendantes. Le but : éclairer son choix. En effet, il doute encore et a besoin de savoir s’il pourra s’intégrer dans la famille de sa future femme. Il part donc naturellement en Belgique où il découvre l’univers de Shirley. Il rencontre d’abord sa mère et passe ensuite aux choses sérieuses. On le sait, depuis le début, Marco et la jeune belge sont très tactiles, ils ont besoin d’être dans les bras l’un de l’autre. Ça tombe bien, une visite de la maison s’impose. Le moment idéal pour Shirley qui propose au gentleman célibataire de la suivre dans sa chambre… Bachelor, le gentleman célibataire – extrait - lundi 18 avril 2016

What is funny is that the official TV channel TF1, added an ITM about SHirley and her clash. They did not do the same with Diane...

EXCLU : Shirley revient sur son clash avec Diane !

Hier soir, une violente dispute a éclaté entre Shirley et Diane. Au micro de MYTF1, la jeune belge revient en exclusivité sur ce clash qu’elle ne regrette absolument pas. Depuis déjà quelques semaines, Diane est la cible de nombreuses filles. Vue comme une redoutable concurrente, son silence après sa sortie nocturne n’a pas été apprécié. Après le départ soudain de Laurie, Shirley n’a pu retenir son agacement. Sans langue de bois, la jeune femme nous en dit un peu plus sur ce conflit qui a secoué la maison de campagne. Pour ne rien manquer de la suite, ne manquez pas le prochain épisode du Bachelor, lundi prochain à 20h55 sur NT1.

Watched episode 7 and still thinking Linda is F1. I think Marco is just going through the motions with the other girls and doing the lead thing but mind made up already for Linda...

Linda: Marco is goners for Linda IMO. He acts like a teenager in love around her and I think he was in love at first sight like he said when he met her she gave him butterflies in his stomach. This episode he still seems to have those butterflies and their SQT was very endearing and I like how Marco is with Linda still totally different with her than anyone else. They have had the chance to build on their relationship - even on their SD he drove with her after their parachute/picnic so they spent quite some time together there too. I don't see any other relationship close to Linda and Marco.

Shirley: I think is just there to fill a storyline - she left then he got her to return so they don't have much of a foundation so I think it is there maybe to give Linda competition but I don't see anything there?

Diane: is just the one dimensional girl with nothing going imo and the physical is not even there much now in this episode so I will be surprised if she makes F3.

Naelle: I think seems to be more comfort/friendzone to Marco so I think maybe she will be in F3 for that reason unless she leaves before?

Not sure on the F4-F1 order...  but thinking maybe Diane F4, Naelle F3, Shirley F2, and Linda F1? I can see Shirley as F2 spot because she would have the most confidence I think since she returned after rejecting a rose so this way she gets the blindside F2 end? I can see it going either way with Naelle or Diane but either way I don't think either will be F2? Not sure but just my guesses.
