@Bobette you're reading my mind!

Well let's just hope TPTB are also in sync.  They messed up their choice of Leads in 2018 IMO - they owe us Todd!

they do! They also need someone who believes in the process and Nick certainly didn't at all. Todd I think believes in it the way that Matty J did. No guarantees of course but I think it works best for those who do and believe in it.

Regarding F1-F4 it's amazing how pre-season so much of the sleuthing was spot on and before even watching the show! Even SM follows. Both Charlie and Bill followed past bachelor contestant/s (we know Charlie DMd Dasha as Paddy gave that away in interview). Just by follows and without watching the show it shows neither one would be in the final two 

@Bobette That is great. Really shows the chemistry. We should do that for all the shows!

Agreed!

I stumbled across the Giphy page where they store all the GIFs used in Tweets: Here

Didn't know it existed so bookmarked it for future reference - quite the treasure trove!

Wow they have their own Giphy page! Cool! I knew Giphy existed but didn't realize a specific page can be created.

Me neither!  I found out during the 467 hours I spent trying to make a 6 second GIF.  (Totally worth it )

@GuardianAngel I think most of the main shows have channels on giphy. I know the Aussie Bette has for a few years and also a verified channel for Bach AU Giphy. 

O/T The US has verified channels for longer years (I remember them having it back in '16). The US ones are all verified channels so the show uses them and stores them when they tweet (Links if wanting to store for their threads: US Bach Giphy Channel  US Bette Giphy Channel  US BIP Giphy Channel )

@AllAboutLove Learn something new everyday. I always just go to the giphy.com page. TY!

@GuardianAngel I do the same as the gifs I've used on here usually aren't from the shows. The ones that are usually are seen already in screencaps but can help with sleuthing a bit to see how the show is editing and which contestants they are focusing on on SM (how many gifs of a contestant, frontrunner could be next bach/bette and they're pushing for him/her. F1 usually gets romantic ones with the lead. Villains get quite a few gifs of them too, etc). 

What's nice if one wants to use or search for gifs from shows, one can go to the channel and then search in that specific channel. I know they have verified channels for DWTS and MAFS too. I think any show that live tweets likely has a channel for their show.

@sprout SB is usually correct so the odds are in their favor. But, they had their additional disclaimer this season which they've never had before that if the winner/last guy rejects the lead at FRC he is considered the winner. 

It was discussed that this could be to go along with the FRC preview that the show had at the end of the season preview of Ali sobbing her eyes out and make it seem like that's plausible. I didn't think it likely she gets rejected by F1 but I may be wrong and it is that and not to F2 (although the voice sounds like Todd saying goodbye but that could be different from her sobbing). 

Usually around this time audiences get doubt with the F1 which is what is happening now with Taite so that's normal. What isn't imo, is some of the SM activity and media sleuthed. Todd even following Ali at the beginning of the season and then her cousin and things. Taite pretty much ruling out moving and his SM is odd how he is still supportive of Charlie and his mum liking negative things about Ali, and his sister not following nor liking anything about Ali. Add in Taite got the short red carpet M&G which is not typical for F1s. 

One part of me says it's all just smokescreen but another side is thinking there may be something off.
