My theory is that Laura gets the last SD of the season (like Lee) and Matty gave her the SQT at Ep 8 knowing that she wouldn't get an SD for awhile. JMO.

It's also why I believe something as predictable as SD placement (recent F1s all have their first SD in Ep 3 or Ep 5, for NZ, for US, etc...) because the lead knows on night one who they most likely will pick for F1 imo.

Barring something drastic happening, that lead will pick the person who they wanted most night one (wanting physically but also emotionally by FRC). Whatever happens afterwards is when the relationship deepens past that and into a possibly long-lasting relationship.

I don't even think it's just "edit", I think it's just how it is... that the lead has their number one pick so anyone else will be seen as an underdog. I think if the edit is ever a true "edit" then the F1 will be made to look like they're not the obvious one from the beginning. That the early obvious one usually ends up F1 tells me that's just how the lead saw it night one. 

The only editing I see in recent years is "obvious F1 in the beginning -- hidden/doubt for F1 and viable F2 edit --- back to obvious F1" at the end.

If Laura is indeed F1, then that's exactly how it's playing out this season, just like recent past ones.
