When I rewatched Courtney's first date with Georgia, I noticed they started to play the F1 kiss music and then aborted when he went in for the hug instead of the kiss. Lol. It's hilarious. So for their 2nd SD they played the music all the way to the climax. I don't know whether to laugh or cry (mostly laugh) if Courtney is F1 after all this time.

I honestly felt like that came with Georgia when she was talking about her parents and cried - that was so beautiful...

IMO you could see that with Tim after his 2nd SD with Anna in Broome and with Sam W after his discussion with Snez about their distance/single mum issues (I think that happened after an art date)

It one of those sparks that I feel has to happened before HTD's.

Is it a pattern that the person who gets the last SD before HTD is F1.  I'm sure it's been discussed previously but if anyone can clarify that would be great.  Thanks

The Bette AU season 1 winner was Sasha and he got the SD before HTD but it was the only 2nd SD of the season, so i'm not too sure we can assume Lee is F1 based on that alone...

I agree that a lot of the "edit" comparisons and musical soundtrack and where someone stands in a rose ceremony picture etc between two seasons don't really say that much. IMHO these things are not at all as orchestrated as they might seem from the sleuthing side. I sometimes think about how much effort it would take for editors to orchestrate every tiny little thing like the things above and I can't even imagine how many hours they have to work if they were to first figure out a story board, cut the footage, then reorganize it, then try to do it based on these tiny little details only we the sleuths pay attention to. JMHO Plus you can't orchestrate where someone stands in a group photo in a rose ceremony based on who wins cos there is no winner yet! I think a lot of the analysis can become overanalysis at least IMHO and it's good to consider it all in perspective

Absolutely!!

I pay more attention to the interactions especially that of the Lead. What is the Lead really saying, how are they saying it. I try not to get distracted by the contestant's account of the relationship because that can be assumed to be how the Lead feels which is never the case.

I dont know one music or riff from the other to be honest. One other thing I have noticed from the female Leads is that they are usually softer in speech/ behaviour with the ones they are really into. They are more "Bachelorette" with most but just a tad different with the F1.

Georgia has been slightly difficult to read but I noticed she really liked Courtney and Lee from the onset. She really likes MAtty too now so it will be interesting to see how Lee's date goes.

What interested me most in the preview and season preview is that Lee's s/caps are not as intimate (no kissing) shown... Matty's on the other hand are. If Matty is F1 it could be they are highlighting the more intimate stuff like they did with Alex?

Then again, Nikki had quite a bit too. Also, it is suspect to me that they are hiding things with Lee in that HTD preview and making it not look he is such a frontrunner when compared to the other guys' little montage (just Lee and G cracking jokes). Seems like misdirect/doubt being planted and not sure how that adds up to making Lee a viable F1 but F2 (F2 are usually seen as more confident and Lee is not).

Looking forward to seeing Lee's 2nd SD and what the progression of his storyline will be because it's the most interesting one to me atm. His storyline almost reminds me of Sam Frost's on Blake's season... or rather, how he is during the process.

@AllAboutLove I see your thoughts and understand.  I don't really have a horse in the race.   I have to say I am stuck in the misdirect corner and something smells fishy to me.  I don't think we have the full story at all.  Too many other things in the media, interviews etc. that IMO really doesn't match things very well.  After this week I hope I see a true love story beginning for me to be on board anyone's train.  Lee is my personal taste (very good looking hence Bachelor Season 5) he has been shown less time with Georgia like Jake has, so this week will possible help what others think as him being F1.
