Bachelor New Zealand - Jordan Mauger - Season 2 - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers*

So Ceri on GD and SD? Not sure where Erin is though so could be her if not Ceri?

IA. Definitely Fleur. Her top is matching the one she is wearing on the GD so SQT not a SD? I think Fleur may get the last 2nd SD like Matilda did.

I was pretty sure it was Ceri - Erin is very slim and Ceri has more of a booty on her which fits the pictures. But if Erin is missing from the group date then maybe it is her on the single.

However, (I am making very big assumptions so apologies) Ceri seems more like the type of girl that would be worried about getting her hair wet than Erin and that preview showed the girl trying to cover her head with Jordan's jacket when it started to rain. Ceri comes across as more of a princess and Erin as more down to earth.

But all just my opinion!

Decided to check the outcome first thing today for some reason....I am in shock that sweet Rebecca went home....I guess we should have seen it coming after @Katiebelle told us of the preview regarding the thesis. This season is unrealz.....I will expect the unexpected every episode remaining going forward

I have been lurking in the shadows for a while now. Its time I join the discussion. Its an interesting season as far as editing goes ! I think though that Storm is F1. Fleur is F2.
I have watched the episodes over & over & I see Jordan chasing Storm. The way he looks at Storm(especially on the 1st date), Btw,in his interviews he mentioned sunsets date as his most favorite & storm got it! He initiates the kissing. He told her he likes her laid back approach. He told her he is drawn to her. He said he gets lost in her eyes, he finds her mysterious. In epi.11 he told her about the bond he feels between them, he said he cant help but feel drawn towards her and he said the connection they had from the start was strong enough to last and said that was the reason he didn't need to spend much time with her!
At CPs he is always seeking her out. He either sits next to her, pulls her away (except in epi.9) where she tried to steal him away from Naz! I think,Jordan likes quiet girls--that's my opinion and I think he is very much into Storm! I get very suspicious when editing mutes a lot of the conversation between Jordan & Storm and shows us blurred video of some of the intimate scenes! This is JMO.

@LynnTa....great post. Please feel free to post more. Last episode was a shocker to most of us who expected Rebecca to at least make F4.

Yes we have Storm on our radar for F1. I am still keeping an open mind till the home town dates to call the F1 because dear Jordan has been difficult to read for a lot of us. However I believe most folks see Fleur as F1 based on the edit though IMO her edit is turning to the physical after Monday's episode with how she was with Jordan at the CP. This has been a challenging & fun season to sleuth but personally I am keeping an open mind that anything can happen...only 3 more weeks before the May 9th finale & I am hopeful we can figure out the F1 before then.

I am thinking if Ceri just gets aggressive and "fights for" Jordan he will keep her?

I am getting kind of tired of Jordan wanting the girls to initiate. Makes no sense anymore this late in the show. Plus, he's the Bachelor. Chase the girl, Jordan.

I so agree with you @AllAboutLove I am getting rather frustrated that Jordan wants the girls to initiate continuously. Maybe an underlying insecurity thing as his ego is stroked by Naz almost a sexual tension thing but could be on physical attraction rather really seeing the essence of someone.

I also wonder if Ceri really fights for Jordan will he keep her ? Naz is undermining her confidence so chances are she will give up.

Rebecca is a genuine soul.

In my opinion

Is that not Ceri beside Fleur? If so, then she wouldn't be on the single date in the car, too?? Thanks for the screen caps.

Yes, Storm is definitely a force to be reckoned with. My issue is her edits. IMO she is way too upfront and visible. And that is never a good thing in this franchise.

This said, I think Jordan is also chasing Fleur and Naz. Naz is a surprise though. Fleur is more lay back. Lets not forget that it is producers choice to show us what they want us to show. If they give us 45min with one and 10min with the other, it does not mean that the 10min is not the F1 IMO. And in 10min it is definitely more difficult to figure it out the emotions and such. So far Fleur is the one who has less air time, but it does not mean she is behind the pack. On contrary, for me it is a sure sign that she is a front runner because I saw that scenario many times already. They have a script to keep us on our toes until the finale and it happens in each and every season, they pick few girls out of them all, and make us believe the bachelor is falling for and BAM, at hometown and after we finally see the connection that was always there but hidden by the prod

Because every participant, including the bachelor, are very lay back, reserved, taking everything with a grain of salt and such... every little emotion makes us feel, us watchers, like it is THE clue to say: she is the one.

Been there, done that many times over and over again. What I see is not what everyone see. And Jordan's season, no matter if I truly do not care who is F1 because I like all the girls, is particularly hard to understand to me. Main reason is because I cannot relate to any of the girls as they have a complete different personality than me. Every emotion can be read on my face. Here, i see only blank faces.

Yes it's strange that Ceri is also on the GD...but the body & height of the girl on the SD matches Ceri IMO. It will be weird if only Erin sat the GD out maybe she is also there but not seen but who knows.

IA - I'm thinking they all go on the group date and Ceri gets the single as well. Makes you wonder though - if you have a bit of a b!tch and moan to Jordan he rewards you with a single date. It worked for Storm and now it looks as though it has worked for Ceri. Maybe he likes stroppy women?

JMO!

I think Kate gets Episode 14 single date & the last single date prior to HTD might be Fleur. Rebecca stated in the edge interview her top 3 as Storm, Fleur & Kate.

Of course I am Kate in the top 3 but hey she works for Woman's Day NZ...I won't put it past producers to have Kate in top 3 for that reason since that's the official mag for the show...I do hope that's not the case though.

Is Kate on the GD? To me, the arms look more like Kate's coz she has a little more meat on her than Ceri does. I'm hoping it is Ceri that gets the SD, but then I'm also hoping he sends her home if she isn't the one and I don't feel like she is.

That's exactly what I am thinking. Even with Naz he seems to like that she is aggressive and he doesn't seem to mind at all her forwardness (makes excuses for it half the time). That and Jordan said he doesn't want a "passenger" in a relationship makes me think he likes to let the woman lead. Plus, Jordan has reiterated over and over again how the girls should approach/initiate with him etc etc ... which him saying the first time I can possibly see that as him time maybe trying to gauge who likes him but more than 2x? I think Jordan likes women who are take-charge. He did date Chrystal after all who is a very take-charge type person and definitely the girl that wears the pants so to speak.
