You might be right. Someone on Reddit posted that she's from Portland, ME and heard from a friend that Chelsea is back home. I'm surprised!

Wow, if this person was telling the truth about Chelsea, then I'm shocked. :shocked!: I thought for sure that she was going to be in the F4. If Chelsea really is gone, I'll be curious to see who they have their eye on for Bachelorette. I'm hoping for Seinne, but that's probably just wishful thinking and never going to happen.

It's JMO that I think the girl on derby date and the girl on dog date look to be the same person. They are not quality photos and she's not exactly dressed to impress on either date through no fault of her own. (whoever it is) I also checked out Annaliese's thread for more photos and ran saw another post where apparently RS said he hadn't identified 3 girls on derby date and gave their initials. The letter "A" was one of them.

We'll just agree to disagree. That girl on the Derby date doesn't look like her to me. I will agree that the photo quality isn't that great. We'll find out soon enough who she is.

Hmm.. If Millsy/TPTB wanted someone for F4 and Arie didn't oblige, it doesn't bode well for his edit IMO.  But If it is indeed Chelsea who was eliminated, then I respect Arie more for not putting her and her son through a HTD if his heart wasn't in it. I seriously dislike kids being used as a prop on this show for HTDs when the lead is not interested in the parent at all.

All JMO

I am with you on this. If memory serves, Arie was in a relationship that ended before Emily's season, so he knows what a cesspool of emotions involving kids can be. As to his edit, I think tptb will do whatever they like, irrespective - they always do. AMO

RS just posted the first three hometown dates and who they are with. Here they are.
Tia Booth 26, Jonesboro, Arkansas (Filming Thursday, Oct. 26th)
________________________________

Lauren Burnham 25, Virginia Beach, Virginia (parents live there) (Filming Saturday, Oct. 28th)
_____________________

Becca Kufrin 27, Minneapolis, Minnesota (Filming Monday, Oct. 30th)
________________________________

As for the 4th hometown, it films next Wednesday, Nov 1st and I know the location of it. You’d think, “Well then how do you not know what girl it is?” It’s because the location doesn’t match any of the girls I had left in Italy and where they’re from. And I know every girl on the show from episode 2 on and where they’re from, so it’s weird this location doesn’t match up. They don’t live there, and as far as I know, their parents don’t live there either. There’s one girl that lives close to where they’re filming on Wednesday, but that’s not good enough for me to run with. Might be her, might not. So it could be a situation where they’re going to a relative’s house that doesn’t live where the girl is from, or maybe the parents aren’t involved, or they’re just filming at a neutral place, etc. I’m not 100% sure yet that’s why I’m not gonna try and guess. I’m pretty sure I’ll find out before next Wednesday who the 4th girl is though, so I’ll let you know as soon as I do. But those three girls and order of hometowns being filmed are definitely accurate.

Slightly underwhelmed with these girls. And who called Tia going far? dead on!

@umngirl thank you! Wow, I was totalllllly off on my HTD predictions. I wonder why that "private to deactivated" business was happening with Chelsea and Bibiana then. They all seem like pretty normal, likable girls (no Corinne types, at least I don't think) and I like that Becca made it far, because I liked her bio from the start! I wonder who the 4th girl is - I'll guess Caroline, but  I'm thinking whoever it is is not the frontrunner since RS isn't 100% sure who it is. I'm guessing F1 is either Becca or Tia.

I’m majorly underwhelmed.

@bluwavz LOL! Right? I was excited about girls like Sienne and Chelsea and even Caroline. I know, I know don't judge a book by its cover (um, last year I was saying that Raven seemed like Des), but no one really seems to have that wow factor. And Lauren b/Arie seemed so awkward on their date. I'll just be happy that I don't see anyone super young and Corinne-like.

@Aria Those were the girls I was excited about as well. And only took them 10 mins to go back to the lack of diversity.

Putting out some hope for number four.
