Knowing how much he has been defending Naz everywhere, knowing Fleur's latests post and knowing how every tweet  from the official Bachelor NZ account about Naz has been positive, i will put my money on Naz.

I don't think his mum will make him choose Fleur if he is not into her. Also, maybe they showed the most tense part in the preview and that it was all good after that.
Usually the F1 parent meeting is not always the easiest or positive one shown.
I can remember  how JP, or even, and in my eyes the worst, April (from bachelor Can) did not go well at all.

I haven't seen the episode yet though.

You may be right.....

IA and thought that too when she got first rose at this episode RC but this season is not like other seasons since it seems his mother/family have watched the episodes before even meeting the girls.

Jordan himself likely may have even watched the episodes (his defending Naz could be F1 or just because she is F2 so he doesn't want that he took her to F2 to be negative on her or him?)

This season and filming while the show was airing... makes it odd... I don't know.

The other thing is he was shown saying falling for Naz which BachCan Tim said to his F2... so if they are trying to do doubt I could see it being Fleur with the typical doubt edit... her MTP is shown with Jordan's brother? saying he was team Naz (so watched the show).

SM/Media makes me think Naz F1 (except for Jordan's SM since his outlier is no pics of Fleur on his IG even at a distance) and edit makes me think Fleur may be.

This preview is no joke!

The meet the parents, Jordan's mother calls out Naz for how she was on the show!

This is where the show airing 2-3 weeks before FRC comes into play!!

Based on the episode updates for the FD I had Naz to win.

However, the meet the parents could be the change factor. Hence, Fleur as F1.

I'm looking forward to Jordan expressing himself at the FRC. It will be interesting, him declaring his feelings. Well if he has any.

I am also looking forward to Jordan expressing his "feelings" @ElonM...

As for F1... I am wondering if Scout, the show, Art, Chrystal - all these people who have been employed by TV3 are saying Naz to misdirect if Naz is not F1?

I've always felt that editwise Fleur had F1 edit (Naz media/SM more) and this season seems very focused on wanting there to be some mystery - thus the filming while the season airs.

Fleur being an early frontrunner, if she is F1, then I would say that her edit is quite typical, imo, with doubt and lots left of the cutting floor to make it seem like she won't be F1 so it may or may not be affected by his family in the end (in preview it is shown with someone from Jordan's MTP telling Fleur they were Team Naz) so it doesn't look like smooth sailing for her either?

I don't know... this season has been so strange with Jordan MIA, filming while show airs, and then SM/Media which a lot is controlled by the show (mediaworks/Tv3).

Part of me thinks SM/media may just be telling the story and predicting Naz F1 but if the show went to that much trouble to maintain "mystery" why promote Naz so much that it seems obvious from media side?

Even Jordan's questions for his interviews were all about Naz so he didn't need to say anything about Fleur at all. He also hasn't posted a pic of her from a date with him (which may be if she is F2 the reason) and also not once has he commented on Fleur's SM yet he has done so on Naz's... Not to mention, Fleur's Scout Q&A is not yet posted either...

Bonjour à vous tous pour Nouvelle Caledonie!

I'm on land and have internet access!

Just popped in to see what's been happening. @allaboutlove has been sending me great summaries so I'm now up to date with the news though won't be able to watch the episodes until the end of the week when I'm back in NZ.

So it looks as though it's down to Fleur and Naz like many of us predicted.

I'm now going to enjoy reading all your posts. It might take me a while!

Naz takes it and reads it... they are going to Canterbury (as spoiled by Scout).

Oh man! I can't believe it missed it! That's where I'm from! Beautiful countryside.

@Katiebelle - hope you have had and are having a fab time!

Can't wait to read your posts and insights

Oh wow! definitely missing your insights - it is beautiful countryside for sure.
I will say that is definitely one of the many things Bach NZ has and is amazing scenery for this show - gorgeous!

Thanks! I'm having fun reading everyone's posts. I won't have time to watch all the episodes I've missed but I'll definite watch tonight's one when I get back. I can't wait until Monday! I wonder how Naz is going to dig herself out of the hit list hole she's dug?

From what I've been reading it seems as though Jordan is still expecting the girls to chase him, Fleur has become a little intense and he sees Naz as being the fun easy one. Is that right?

@Katiebelle !!

Thanks so much everyone for the recap, awesome! It felt like I was watching it!

Thanks everyone for the amazing & fun recaps. You guys rock

At this point even with Fleur as F1...it will be interesting at the reunion because of the SM focus on Naz. The reunion show might be the one not to miss

Ok ive watched the episode.
As much as i liked his time with Naz and finally see him more relaxed, i do think now she is not F1. They are pushing it too much for the viewers so back to thinking fleur is F1 per edit.

Regarding SM i find it odd how Naz has started to post her promotional pics and it screams im f2 and i want to capitalise on the last weeks it's on before people focus on the happy couple.

So back to square one hhhhh
