Bachelorette 17 - Katie Thurston - July 19 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

The thing that has me most perplexed is the narrative around Andrew. With such lack of footage, it appears that he doesn’t even make it to hometowns and Justin does?  I’m not sure about the self-elimination thing.  He’s told Katie he was all in, that he’s falling for her, they have some kind of understanding about holding out for fantasy suites, he seems to be quietly confident in their relationship and patient with her time, and as we see he throws another gesture to again let her know that he’s falling for her.  Either they are hiding his dates or he’s got no more footage, but what’s the story?  Also, I thought it was Andrew’s voice saying the poem at the beginning of the preview, not Justin?

In an exclusive sneak peek at the July 19 episode, Katie invites front runner and all-around fan favorite Greg Grippon on an intimate date where sparks immediately begin to fly.

Curious. Who determined he was the front runner and fan favourite?

@CHO I caught that too.

Michael seems like a sweetheart of a guy. I thought that when it was quoted that he asked his inlaws for permission to go on the show. He just seems like an all around good guy jmo.

Some fans like Greg, and some are really crushing on him. I feel indifferent about him -- I'm not a fan, but I don't hate him either. I still feel that he is a ticking time bomb in terms of his ability to commit. I keep getting the feeling that he is ready to bolt at any minute.

Michael is great! He will make some lucky woman a wonderful husband. He does know how to love, and how to make a commitment. More than that, he knows how to be there for a woman and family during tough times.

It just seems odd. Greg apparently really likes Katie - and screencaps seem to show they have fun together - and everything's perfect. And Katie says he is the best kisser. But at the same time - they go fishing - and Greg is like a duck out of water. Katie throws the fish at Greg - ad he drops it - clearly uncomfortable. And yet she still likes him - is amused by him. Is this to steer us from thinking he is the one - or is it to show that they really are not a good match ? We still have the pictures of them in the rain kissing on a bench - and the kissing in the rain at night. Can she really switch from being crazy about Greg - and having a huge fight going back and forth with Greg - and then end up with Blake ? Is the part about letting love take over - does that refer to maybe Greg really strongly declaring his love (in the fight) and he doesn't want her to be with anyone else etc etc - get her to be confident in what they have - and relax - and accept what she has found ?? Hopeless romantic !

It seems to me watching him, I feel he truly care about Katie and watching the preview of the fight he's concerned about what she says to the other guys and probably sounds similar to what she says to him. What do we hear from the F2's after the FRC "I felt lead on". I believe that's his concern and I don't blame him.

Can someone tell me how you see or if you can see the international Bachelor and Bachelorette shows. I sure would like to see one.

Does anyone know whose date it was when she said she's falling in love? She's wearing a black dress. Thx.

The evening portion of her date with Greg.
