Hmm that's very odd, hey AAL! Who has the most screencaps? Alex or Nikki? How else can we find out who wins, I firmly believe it's Alex, but Nikki is Defs getting F1 edit too. I guess we will have too wait for HTDs. Oh and also Alex did have a photographer take pictures of her holding the white Rose? Could that be a clue that she can possibly be the one?

Alex's SM while filming near the end seemed like she was back home but not sure. Also her athletic photoshoot right after filming didn't seem like F1 thing to do but who knows? Atm I agree that Alex may have the most s/caps but not sure if the others are yet sleuthed to be in F3 but may be? I think Heather also had a photo of her holding the white rose so it could be that it is done for all white rose recipients?

From the edit alone, I would have doubt about Alex being F1 based solely on the music (which is exact same sad piano music that Heather and Richie got). Here is a video with the music [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

just to give some context to this SM conversation. There were a few of us watch both Alex and Nikkis IG whilst the show was filming. From memory I believe about a week or two prior to filming ending Alexs numbers started changing. At first we thought that was understandable because people deactivate their accounts etc. but then Alexs followers started going up and down and the only way that that can happen when your IG is on private is if you accept delete people yourself. So there in lies why we didn't believe from a SM perspective Alex to be F1. That said, this theory relies on her not having access to her phone whilst filming and it is possible that they may have let the f3 have phones in that last week, who knows??? I don't think it's likely though.

Exactly what I thought and yes...

What I am finding weird is why haven't we actually seen any of Rachel and Richies one on one's at the cocktail party. We saw her today on this episode been taken away but we have yet to see a chat. It feels odd that she is always at the top during rose ceremonies but we really haven't seen any interaction, but she is also one of the narrators. To me her edit feels very unsettled and bizzard. It feels like Robby super super hinden for the first half of the show, yet still there. very strange.

So I have just watched the episode. Gee whiz what a kiss. I think Richie couldn't make up his mind where to touch. Hip, arm neck somewhere else kinda hidden.... That was the most passionate kiss I have seen so far and I think Richie thinks that the objective of the date was achieved. I can see them together. I think they are actually well suited. I think Nikkis got this one though. As for Kiera, she is just vile, I don't even want to talk about her. I will say one thing though, she was crying at the Rose ceremony. Rachael, tonight I didn't mind her. I just think she is a sharp shooter and extremely drunk at the cocktail party. Now for my least favourite person from tonight, Alex. I have had enough of her, sense of entitlement and covert obsession. I think she was in love with The Bach even before she hopped out of the car. Sorry if I'm offending Alex fans out there. I'm a bit over it. So I think Nikkis got this, Fairh is going to break my heart, but she needs to know how super awesome she is (just incase she is reading this). You can tell when someone is being genuine. Can't wait to watch her next year

Ps: I think the drama next week is between Nikki and Kiera. Maybe Nikki told her to stop licking her teeth or something

Sundy: thank you for posting the info on Alex's SM. It is something to keep in mind while sleuthing since it was a possible pre-season clue. For those who weren't pre-season sleuthing, Sundy did a fantastic job keeping up with all the SM activity pre-season and still is currently doing so, so big thanks to Sundy as it is very helpful and appreciated

robinvi: excellent point about Rachael and her not being shown and perhaps similar to Robby ITA with you that Rachael's edit is definitely odd considering she is in quite a few s/caps and narrates a lot but no time shown.

DSP: that dress has made its rounds on 3 seasons now

It's probably too soon to say this, but I honestly don't see the connection with Nikki. I hope the later episodes to come can sway me and change my thoughts. So far on their date, I didn't really see it and if she's F1 i want to see a beautiful love story. Fingers crossed

So in the group date last night Richie actually painted a picture for Georgia. Instead of showing that they shows him asking to speak with Nikki and Alex feeling a bit second best. The storyline is subtly playing out

I'm also feeling this way. I thought their date was nice enough, but a bit awkward and the conversation seemed stifled, I may have to re-watch it though. Whereas he seemed really at ease around Faith, their kiss came really naturally, and they didn't sound like they were interviewing each other.

I do agree that Richie seemed a lot more comfortable on the date with Faith, and the kiss was a lot more natural, but some of that could come down to being a couple of dates in by the time he got to Faith, so he is becoming more at ease with his role as the Bachelor?

This episode was definielty better than the last.

Faith and Richie's date looked like a blast! they looked like they had so much fun and they were completely at ease with each other!

How about that kiss?

Group date idea was cool but Keira winning the extra time was kind of annoying. Eliza clearly should have won that.

I loved how Richie checks in with Nikki but why do they always hide their conversations?! I feel like this is a repeat of Sam Wood's season.

"look after Nikki" that was cute of Sophie to support Nikki. I wonder why it was left in hmmm

Next week's group date looks so exciting ahhh

It also looks like poor Nikki is involved in some kind of drama

Thanks TML....I haven't watched yet just reliving the episode vicariously through all you great peeps's summaries.

Sounds like Faith baby had a blast of a date.

No!!!! not looking forward to seeing Nikki be part of any drama but we will see how it unfolds

Anyone know how many episodes in total this season....just trying to project when the producers will throw more bone our way in terms of screen caps.
