JMO but perhaps its why Matty has waited until ep11 to take Elise on a SD? Maybe he sensed she was getting attached, and he wasn't feeling 100% sure of her, so he held off to try and limit her potential heartbreak? Maybe coming from the position he did, he didn't want to drag his F2 through the same? Less dates, means less one sided connection? I dunno, but it could be an explanation for the late date.  

I think you meant episode 10 I actually disagree that Elise was getting attached to him based on what was posted here about the convo Elise had with her dad. I read the comments here like she was being reasonable and wondering why she was still there if he had no connection with her. Like I have said before, he could have dragged a more convincing contestant like Flo or Elora to F2 if the producers want it to be more believable (granted we have not yet seen Elise's SD tomorrow). If Elise is in F2 against Laura, most folks IMO would think Laura takes it out. After the OTT media exposure again for Laura with Matty on F&W earlier, I really believe Laura is the red herring this season a la Heather and Nikki but we shall see

hahah yes I do in fact mean ep10! Dragging a more believable girl to F2 would be devastating for Flo or Elora considering they had early SD and an overnight in Elora's case. What I was meaning was that from Matty's POV to limit F2 heartbreak it would be best to take an "intruder" or someone who is less invested. Short of not giving a girl a SD at all then taking her to F2 (never gonna happen!), delaying SD is the only way to limit a connection IMO. That would be one way to limit the heartbreak for the F2, which Matty might want to do seeing as he has been there done that.

I totally agree with Merceime to keep people invested and guessing until the end taking Tara or Flo as F2 makes much more sense.

THIS! Especially Tara is a fan favorite like Nikki last season. That would fit their pattern. IMO
