No, I'm with you as well [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I think it's Nikki as well. The only doubt for her at the moment is that we don't have any screen caps past F4, but if we work on that, only Olena is safe as we have the shot with the Vespa. Rachael's beach walk could be HTD, and it might be Olena on the Bali boat, and not Alex. 

IMO, I see Alex going home after hometowns, whether or not Richie meets her son because meeting her family will make becoming a step dad a reality that he is not ready for. Rachael goes at F3, because I don't really know how she got this far! We don't know anything about her, and there is not much depth to their relationship. Olena and Nikki are the last 2, and I have no compelling evidence why I think Nikki, apart from the fact that she was the first girl papped, and it was before, or around when the season started, and its alleged that the paps know the F1.

My current order is the same

No, I still think she is.

Trust me I'm no bachelor whisperer. I am not 100% at this point either. Either way it's fun and whatever decision he makes I hope it works out for him. I adored him last season and have been stalking his every move ever since in the hope to see him loved up

No, you're not! I still think that it's highly probable based on all of the early predictions and the edit at the cocktail parties. There were details on Nikki social status/background. Nikki's early date and her kissing Richie kind of worked in her favor because it calmed him and he was comfortable in his approaches with her from there on. Also, I'm putting this out there, Nikki's fashion choices the first two CP were eye catching to say the least so he wouldn't have missed her, I didn't! So, she's definitely a pick for F1.

I remember coming on board when the show was taping and saw Richie's profile and decided to hang around. There was very little info on Olena going into the show. I think a papped photo of her 2nd date and a few unsure pics mistaken for Rachael.
Correct me if I'm wrong, was Olenas 1st date listed on the show schedule ? Like it was a surprised. No date card, only Richie showing up to whisk her away. It was on this date that I saw an interested Richie who was being challenged from a girl who asked him about him.
So maybe like Richie I'm also intrigued by Olena because she was being cautious.

I checked and I'm missing the voice overs - S/cap association.
On youtube (see video below) there is the extended promo with captions of the voice overs. I like how it tells a story for the F5 girls and I thought i should do s/caps and share the stories here.
All the s/cap are from me and the video i'm using is the youtube one below.


Actually there are so many s/caps I will do different posts for each girl.
This is not s/cap sleuthing per se but how the stories are presenting in promo.
However, feel free to let me know if it should be in the S/cap thread instead of here.

Raechel (first girl to appear in the promo)

For me it seems like there is fireworks, chemistry, but also vulnerability, risk and hurt.

Onto Olena (fourth girl shown)
Faith was the third but i've already done Olena's so i will post it anyway.

- VO: What we have is ...[real]
s/cap Olena and Richie hand in hand walking through the doors
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This s/cap is shown right after the one with heart in the sand (by Raechel) and is the second last of the preview.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The last one being the I love you.

In my opinion, overall very positive vibes and use of the word love but no hurt.
And her s/cap being the last one might mean something, who knows.

We're still not sure it's Alex on the boat though. Surely what's said over their screen caps doesn't assert who the F1 is?

I think it's more dependent on screen time in the episodes. For example, whose conversations they show with Richie at the cocktail parties and whose they don't. They've shown a lot of Alex with Richie at the cocktail parties as well as Olena and Nikki. Is anyone able to recall if there are any points of their conversations which have been cut out? Because that could give something away.

Onto Faith (third girl shown)

-VO: I feel that fire
s/cap, Richie holding Faith and jumping in the pool
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

-VO: He's the type of man that i could see myself falling in love with

-VO: Being vulnerable and risking having your heart broken

-VO: And I've been protecting myself for a very long time

-VO: He's making me feel like the most beautiful woman on ...[the planet]
s/cap Forehead kissing
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

-VO: You've got me, You've got me hooked
s/cap Kissing on the couch (after hamish date)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


And that's it. A bit similar to Raechel (positive but risk and heart can be broken) except the use of word fire.

Like I said, it's just to show what might be the story the preview is telling, whether or not to consider it as the real stories is another story (no pun intended).
I just thought it could be nice to compare.

djogbenyuie thankyou for the VO and screen shots. IMO All sleuthing is interesting and relevant, especially for when the F1 is known as will help to see the parallels for future seasons.
