Yes, I certainly do. They always try to create doubt towards the end...so IMO, they will push Olena opening up to Richie but I still think it is Nikki as F1. So many thought that Sam Wood would choose Lana over Snez towards the end.

Then the video says that Olena is about to do something so unexpected and so unlike her....... it will send their relationship soaring to new highs.

I really think Olena is f1 ..their are just so many sc of her and imo it's going to be interesting to see how she lets her guard down because when she does she wins..jmo also she seems happier than Nikki does post show... Omg I foresee big heartbreak for whoever f2 and f3 I think Nikki and Alex......

LeapofFaith so glad Im not the only one who sees Olena as F1. Have from night 1. I think it will come down to who he can not send home. Blown away with her night 1. His summary of her SD1 at the pool..challenges him, direct, etc. SD2 intrigues, worth fighting for etc. She has been present by not obvious. She stated in an interview it took her some time in the house to get to know the girls but has made friends for life. IMO she is about to "fly". time will tell but next week sure looks interesting.

ITA - to me Richie acts towards Olena the way Nikki acts towards Richie...if that makes sense? He seems to have way more emotion in his ITM's regarding Olena....imo

Emusha it seems like Olena goes all out at the next round of games, which involve a lot of mud and grit it seems and I guess she wins.
Richie says ' I did not expect this from Olena'.
So she has moved from the wall and is bringing it home.
Maybe too late.....but good on her for stepping out into the uncomfortable.
He looks at her with surprised delight but its such a quick grab it's more a look of being impressed that any loving gaze.
The exchange with Nikki is pretty solid and she is lovely so I'm not so sure on an upset to the predicted F1 just yet.

So, guessing by the promo and as mentioned above^, Olena goes all out to win and gets some extra time? So looking forward to what the conversation will be like. The promo also showed her being very animated at the CP - unlike seen before!!

I wonder what the big move Olena makes is? Also what do you think about the way he is looking at her?

 I just can't decide between Nikki and Olena for F1! - Where are my trusty screen caps?!?

Am I the only one that believes from the sneak peak that the big move Olena makes is over shadowing Nikki's date? Just the same they did for Alex. Nikki's SQT overshadowed Alex's date. Is this a possible F1 edit for Olena?

OMG. thats exactly what I was thinking. They went from nikki saying "ive fallen in love" to a massive change in music and a totally different mood with Olena's scenes - that's some shifty overshadowing going on.

Hmm... Something shifty is definitely happening! These producers are sure keeping us on your feet

Thanks sooo much all for the updates! Romantic realist - wow I would be shocked for Olena to in her words "jump over other girls to get to him"!!! LOL

for those that can't watch the video. What's the musical mood difference between nikki's date and Olena's scenes plz? and thanks -- hope someone puts up the video somewhere else so those outside of oz can see it.

Emusha you are so right, she does seem to jump over other girls to win his attention.  
In her own sweet way of course.
I don't know how to upload the video sorry - but I went back to listen to the music.
It is the same music throughout the sneak peek but the crescendo rises from Nikki's date to Olena.
We'll have to see what order the group & single dates happen to know which over-shadows which.
Mind you Nikki saying " I am in love" is going to be pretty hard to beat.
And she is a pretty nice lady.
But with frivolous abandon I say, yay Olena!!!!

Poor Olena have her first heartbreak on National TV. Lana was very hurt when Sam Wood overdid with his touching when he knew it was Snez all the while. Now our good old Richie is going to do the same.. Worst to the girl who said she never had her heartbroken because she has protected herself well. Even if it is to Alex it's also cruel. But like ALL said, this show must have an F2. Too bad one of them has to have it in order for Nikki to reign as the F1. Just sad.
