in 30-something seasons only one lead has not picked anyone. i'm sure clayton is engaged like normal, just the road to get there is messy. all jmo.

For comparison sakes Gabby’s episode one promo. She made a joke in her caption, which looking at pass captions seems on brand for her. Susie hasn’t posted one yet but she did post a reel but doesn’t seem related.

I'm not liking Gabby at all. She's promoting the heck out of herself. I don't remember not showing a final one come out of the limo accompanied with dramatic music. I've flipped flopped on Gabby being F1 especially looking through her IG last week, and now I'm thinking no way is she the F1. jmo's

IG story packed with herself.

Clayton looks like he's trying to have a good time with the producer.

My first instinct of no SHV to watch the premier together is not good. Maybe they are switching things up and they've had a SHV recently.

I'm liking Rachel more and more, simply because she's lying relatively low. She follows Cary Fetman but he doesn't follow her.

I'm comfortable with getting to know his final girls before knowing who is F1. Helps me keep an open mind. I did find his thirst for Rachel quite interesting. But Susie made the best impression on me last night. Gabby - no. I liked Serene but we know she doesn't make f3, based on SC.

1/5

susie is still in virginia beach. nothing from rachel, gabby, or clayton yet.

Looks like Gabby recorded Mike and Bryan’s podcast that will be out tomorrow. I think they usually record Wednesday’s. So she may have done that today. Have to listen and watch the videos to be sure though.

Still no locations of Clayton and Rachel, but both where on social media today. Rachel posted pictures from New Years Eve. And Clayton seems to be cleaning up his Instagram following. He was around 730 this afternoon but now only 689. Not sure when he did it, I just notice it. If he is busy cleaning his following list I don’t think an shv started yet but who knows.

I've wondered if he has any control over his IG.

from rachel and her friends' comments on her post, she's left ohio (both of their accounts are public so i don't think i need to blur their usernames out but cmiiw)

Listened Gabby’s on Talking it Out podcast. Definitely filmed after the premiere but not sure if Tuesday or Wednesday because she said she ask her dad that morning what he thought of the episode.  Seemed pretty positive about her experience on the show. Several times when referring to Clayton she said their journey/story even saying at the end she couldn’t wait for people to see their journey. She may have done that to hide past and present tense though. Said it will take her awhile to open up mentions some childhood trauma that she will open up about on the show. Says she got along great with the women. Knows it will be hard to watch and even parts of the premiere was hard to watch. I thought one of the last things she said was interesting but I could be reading to much into it, “ it’s scary as hell being in love, falling in love especially on camera.” She said that near the end when they ask her what to expect. Didn’t seems to have a negative experience with the show though.

@smg2587 thanks for the recap. Do we know what the childhood trauma was?

I wonder what parts of the premiere was so hard to watch for her.
