Nick Viall - Bachelor 21 - Episode 9 Feb 27 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Episode 9 discussions here. FSD Part 1 8pm-9pm Eastern I hour. March 6 FSD Part 2 & WTA

All other epi threads here

I think it sucks that we don't have any way to sleuth this episode as they haven't shown anyone but Rachel's part in this episode and the description in TV Guide was so generic, it didn't even describe the dates they get. Has there been any information on the dates here? Thanks!

SCs limited as they are, are up: SC No Discussion Thread
Hopefully we get some midweek previews that give us something to work with.

@Ladybug82 Thanks! A couple of things I noticed. He has a coat on in one of those caps, plus the heli is red? Wasn't it white? I will bring them over to the s/cap thread in a few minutes.

We've seen Rachel as the spoiled in F3 since beginning of season - do you think they knew before season started that they will spoil Rachel before she leaves? Was TPTB waiting for the go signal to announce it? They sure are keeping a close lid to the finale. I wonder if something is different F3-F1 epis? So 1 hour next week - there's the talk between Nick and Andi, then the RC - that could be 20-30 mins of the show. They probably will have time to show 1 FS - possibly Vanessa to resolve their conflict?

Rachel's and Raven's dates may be on March 6 (first hour), Rachel exits and then will walk into the WTA (second hour). Do we have the TV schedule yet for 3/13? is it 2 or 3 hours?

I don't get the edit this season at all.  I would think the shock of Rachel being let go at F3 and being the next Bachelorette would be a bigger splash than doing it early.

I'm guessing it had to do with the lack of minorities signing up.  

A whole hour for Andi and getting to the F3?  I sure hope not!

@atem

^ if the Andi/Nick chat goes on for an hour...well, I'll finally quit this show. I can't handle that much time of them. Or her, more precisely.

I give it 10 minutes--at most the span between two commercials.

@Kasha

Did you see this?

Then instead of showing us Finland in the 1st hr....they waste a bunch of time showing Andi instead. Ugh Ugh Ugh. The choppiness of the edit is horrible this season because it damages the storyline. The only episode I have truly enjoyed was the HTD's because we actually had a real glimpse of the families. I hope the editing team gets fired and they get someone new. I want to see Lapland and real conversations...not TBC and fake Andi drama.

What does that mean?  They take a 1/2 hour with Andi and a 1/2 hour making up his mind or what?

Wait a minute. I read on RS that ABC is starting some other show and are cutting the F3 dates to 1 hour this coming Monday?!

Don't forget there is an RC after the Andi talk - that's going to take maybe one or two segments. So that will be in the first 30 mins of the 2/27 epi.

Per RS, next Monday's episode is only 1 hour and not 2 due to some show ABC is premiering.
