Continue discussion here

I will start the new thread....@AllAboutLove thanks for all you do with this forum.

So preview for the next episode...here are the VOs and PI's that IMO makes me think that Sarah leaves.

ZAC VO "it's about time we have a challenging conversation"

Sarah PI "I need to have a difficult converstaion with Zac tonight"

BIG QUESTIONS

Viarni & Zac chat "I don't know if you have doubts when you think of me"

TOUGH ANSWERS

One decision that breaks the bachelor

IMO I can read this as to both Viarni and Sarah have big questions which could mean both are questioning their feelings or Zac's feelings. Since we have SC's of Viarni in possible future episodes (hug image) then Sarah chooses to leave. HTD's Viarni still has those big questions that make it hard for Zac to answer?

Just thinking out load LOL

same questions from Viarni since the last 3 episodes:

what do you think of us
what do you think of me
am i hard to read
why am I still here
I like you but i do not know you

it is almost as if she pushes him to say that he fell madly in love with her and she is the one blah blah blah. I see a lot of me me me with Viarni, not much of us. it screams doubts and insecurities mostly I think because they are still strangers.

the real question is: why the prods want us to show this? a premise of an earlier departure (hometown?) or the premise of the awkward being F1 (most bachelor are awkward with their F1).

I think her constant doubts, seeing her family, meeting zac on her turf, long distance relationship, etc gave her perspective and decided that she was not into him enough to go further. I truly believe she left but did not want to go thru another RC away from home. She had enough of the show.

I have no fav really. I want to see a little bit more of a "I like you" from Zac now, that is all.

...IMO

@HEA Do they show another episode tonight?

The problem is... Screen caps don't lie and below you can clearly see Sarah lined up beside Claudia waiting for her rose.

You can also see Claudia, Viarni and Hannah lined up when Dom says that ? has decided to go home.

So - IMO none of those girls are the ones that decide to go home as there is no way they would be standing there waiting in a line for a rose if they decided to leave.

@Katiebelle I am with you on your thoughts.  But we know that there are two screen caps of Lily that haven't been shown.  1 of them could possibly be during their 1:1 date on this episode, but the one on the swing can't.  So, we know it is not Lily that leaves.     Since we can see the girls lined up my thought would be that Sarah didn't get a chance to chat with Zac so she asks to speak to him.  Maybe she didn't get her answers she wanted during the CP chat. The only other option is Hannah but since we have Sarah saying she needs to have a conversation with Zac it makes me think it is Sarah.

@4health - so you think that Sarah pulls him away at the RC like Bel did? - yes I could see that happening especially as we have the screen cap of Zac hugging Viarni and the below screen cap that looks like Hannah and Viarni on a boat with Zac.

So - Sarah goes home leaving the 4 girls for HTDs. But why would two girls be on the boat with Zac? Another 2 on 1 date? That screen cap does not fit.

Apologies! Just realised I have put the above screen cap discussions in the wrong thread.

Mods - how do I move them over?

i do not think so. but then it would be no surprise, sarah is leaving IMO. so it is hometown for the top 4.

i think in the preview, we see hannah and viarni on a boat but it can be a group date with all the girls like they sometimes do.

Then we have the 2nd SD with Lily

I think we are missing another 2nd SD with Hannah?

good catch @katiebelle and @4health

so sarah asked zac to speak to him before the RC and left. so why do they wait the last minute drama effect?
