I like Lee (who wouldn't?!) but I just don't think he's the yang to her yin, if you get my drift.  Maybe something more will develop on their date next week, but right now I really don't see him making F1 or even F2.  My money's on Jake.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree.

Their similar interests/sense of humor and commonality IS what is keeping him in the show. It is a wonderful foundation for a relationship. Georgia has repeated time and time again that she is looking for someone who is in the same page as her, who has her same sense of humor, and relating to her situation: successful, yet something is quite lacking.

The very fact that Lee made it this far means Georgia is not only encased in this bubble the producers created it is also because she is thinking about the long run. I don't see Matty or Jake lasting, after this.

However, with Lee there is longevity. Solely due to the fact that they get along quite well. They are mature, have the same sense of humor and are financially stable and looking for the same thing. They are on the same page.

This is what sets him apart, I think. I don't think he is playing any games with Georgia because he matches her exact sentiments about why she is here. And this might be the biggest factor for her right now and the thing she is looking for.

I agree with @Bobette and @BlackHalo concerning the deeper level of connection with Lee being something that hasn't quite been explored yet. When it comes to Lee, G always brings it back to 'we have so much in common' and that's a really good thing as @porcelainpony pointed out - and a great foundation, but I think they have to at sometime move beyond that, surely theres more to it that we're not seeing and I'm so excited for next weeks SD to see that chat they're having! Oh and with body language, I think she get's most flushed with Jake, from my pov, before he even began reading that letter, she was breathing so deeply, biting her lips and just had such a wide smile it was insane! And then how her voice broke when he finished, it was overwhelming to watch! Same with Matty on their date!

The editors deliberately left in the interaction beteeen Jake and Lee where Jake said this is not my first love letter to which Lee deadpanned with I'm sure it isn't. Jae is used to wooing women and is using moves on G. Which work.

The stand in date told the same story. Jake was outing the moves on G via the stand in. He out moves on her by sliding up behind her.

Boy is well experience in the art of seduction.imo.


This last episode was actually very interesting in terms of what G is saying to the guys and the little nuances in where it appears the story is heading. For all the f6 guys. It's one of those gold episodes. Jmo.
