If they would have showed her crying the viewers might have been softened towards her but the left it put so the obviously don't want that. Again not in favor for Laura being F1. IMO

I am really surprised they left that part on the cutting floor....and that she was pretty much MIA on this episode based on what i read of the comments.....yeah strange and not looking good IMO.

Good point @natik and @mercieme Laura was Elise this episode "blending with the background plants"

It says it all IMO.

I've seen Osher like tweets like this for past seasons.... Nikki for example. It's not a good sign.

It also tells me if Elise is indeed F2, it's going to be Nikki 2.0 and Matty 2.0 combined.

ELISE SHOULDVE GOTTEN A SINGLE DATE FOR THAT FISHING DATE YOU PEASANT #thebachelorau

I think considering it was just a couch chat and they haven't even gone on a date yet, I wouldn't have expected a kiss tonight regardless. Tomorrow will be the real chance for the public to see if she is friendzoned or not.

Michelle, what a fricken waste of a FIR?? Has there ever been such a pointless one, in any franchise? No single date, and no significant screen time at all. Was it because Channel 10 blew the opening night budget on getting a cop car in?

Elise is getting Nikki 2.0 treatment. Great on paper, so much in common, love the family BUT Matty's hots lie elsewhere. ITA with what a number of you were saying earlier that Elise is to be our sacrificial lamb on the altar of Bachie. And not a proper kiss either, although that is probably more realistic to not go the massive pash on the back of SQT rather than a single date. But I will need to see a very convincing, face eating kiss to even consider that the Elise ship has a chance.

Jen, bored of you, that is all.

And Laura in the crying screencap dress, but no crying? Why do the editors torment us so? How are we supposed to sleuth from screencaps if you don't even show the stuff that is in them in the show?

And what's with tomorrow's promo?? Not a cracker of the hockey/hot tub extravaganza? I really really hope they don't gloss over the whole date for the sake of drama? Although if they do, Elise will be the least convincing potential F1 ever.

You know I am trying to put myself at the place of the crew and the production. Let us imagine I have a unique love story in my hands. One of the producers said even so about one hell of a love story. So let us imagine it's the Cinderella story with Elisa as F1. If I remember never in Bachelor history a F1 won the show with being SO late in the game. So what would I do if I were them? I would try to protect the outcome as good as I can to make it even more special by the time the finale is aired. To make the viewers believe in fairytales because they witnessed one with their own eyes. It would also explain Osher's tweet about friendzone. He witnessed something special and want the people to witness the same. IMO

I love your thinking @natik you can be the captain of the Elise ship!
