Episode 8- Part 1

--All the guys sitting around talking about the farewell dance in how they are feeling about no one going home the night before and how the competition for Nicole's heart has heightened

--They show Mr. Holland who says he is falling hard for Nicole, in an ITM he is just gleaming about her (something tells me this wont end well for him this episode)

--Battle of the britts with a our lovely Mr. Mumbray and newbie Mr. Miles (forget his last name) any a brutal game of chess which Mr. Mumbray wins...YAY!! to our OG Britt!!

--Morning tea comes announcing parents will be back for the festivities just in time for a family dinner where all the suitors are invited however after dinner festivities only a select few of the suitors will be able to partake.

--Mr. & Mrs. Remy return to the castle and receive big hugs from all their kids (I am including Ms. Cleary in this because she is like a family member anyway). Nicole catches her parents up on everything that has gone on since they left (but I am sure some intimate stuff Nicole keeping close to her chest). She tells them about the guys who were sent home and the new suitor to come in. Th parents want to chat with new Britt Miles.

--Dinner takes place will all in attendance, from the dinner she will choose who to go on the next day GD 4 gents to be exact.

--Uh Oh Mr.,. Cones interrupts Mr. big poppa Remy they all seem to laugh but he does let Mr. Cones Toast, but ehhhh it fell flat for real he was all tongued tied and awkward. He says this is not his element and feels out of place.

--Dinner continue on, and Nicole is steadily flirting with Mr. Nazaire, it seems the battle between the britts is continuing on in this environment. He does talk to Nicole's father they even trade some French speak which impresses Mr. Remy and Nicole of course loves.

--Mr. B cuts the turkey he apparently is a pescetarian. She wants him to stand out so her parents can see him coming out of his shell. More discussion at the table.

--Mainly a long dinner and everyone trying to be social with Nicole and her parents you know trying to stand out and show their fun cool side

--Mr. Chapman talking to Nicole's brother about his life and how this is the longest he has ever been in one place because he lives in his van and travels all over the place. In an ITM he expresses doubts about changing his life and in 6 months the relationship may not be how they had hoped and dreamed. (This is definitely foreshadowing for if indeed he leaves or if Nicole breaks up with him) hmmmm.....

Episode 8- Part 2

--Dinner continues and of course the Britts are just interrupting each other while they are trying to talk to Nicole, kind of embarrassing but I think one of them will be going home tonight. Just a lot of back and forth.

-- Nicole invites 4 guys to the after-dinner parlor games: Mr. Chapman, Mr. Mumbray, Mr. B and Mr. Navaire
Basically, they get to drink some wine and let loose with some naughty games of getting on all fours and purring like a kitty, shocking!!! It is fun though. The do some Never have I ever!!!~ and Nicole admits that she never had a three-amigo frenzy.

--But UH OH Mr. Navaire says never have I ever feared commitment and guess what....Dun DUN... Mr. Chapman takes a drink of his wine because he fears commitment and has doubts about it, so of course Nicole notices it and feels so blindsided by that because she is falling for him and they shared intimate moments. Mr. Chapman says in an ITM that he has doubts and needs to talk to her about it...(cue in another foreshadow moment for the doubts and possible exit)

---The other guys of course are off to their own vices to discuss the events and why again they were left out. They talk about who could be on this weeks dance card. another ITM from Mr. Holland who says he was confused why he wasn't chosen to be at the parlor games. (more foreshadowing)

--Ms. Remy and Nicole catch up and talk about the guys and she says she is surprised that Mr. Holland is so deep in with her but she is not there with him yet. Her mother tells her she has to make that hard decision because if she is not there with him yet she needs to let him know.

--Now off to the GD with 4 suitors and "Sniper Mom" Ms. Remy: You have Mr. Cones, Mr. Holland, Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Judge on this shooting for the stars date. It is fun and the guys are all shocked at how good Nicole's mom is at this.

**Ms. Remy of course is former military so she knows how to handle her weapon it is so funny the guys are feeling inadequate compared to Nicole's mom***

--During the shooting the guys are asked some quick questions I think as a way to distract them from their targets, . Nicole ask Mr. Judge would he take her last name if they got married; She asks Mr. Holland, how do you feel about getting her name tattooed to his backside, ; Mr. Cones was asked what he felt about a shotgun wedding and Mr. Hunter was asked has he ever lived with another woman. Nicole is intrigued and she wants to know more about Mr. Hunter.

---In an ITM Mr. Hunter says he wants to know more about her and goes to seek out her at the castle for alone time. he brings her flowers which is so sweet Nicoles is happily surprised. They go to talk some more and Nicole asks him about his dating life. She can tell he is holding back and he is a bit closed off at first, he says he is on edge and in an ITM he says it takes him awhile to be vulnerable. Nicole is frustrated and says she just cant be with someone who cant open up and communicate with her.

--All the guys hanging out and just chatting about who is going to be on that dance card. Mr. Chapman is expressing more doubts about being ready to propose and how he is not sure if he will be able to do that especially if it is something that Nicole wants.


***I could be wrong, but they are really showcasing now all of a sudden Mr. Chapmans doubts about proposal and all, and here I have been rooting for him, he may truly exit***

Episode 8 Part 3: Final

--Day of the farewell ball, Mr. Cones seeks out private time with Nicole who is reading a book by the lake. He brings a bottle of champagne she is happy to see him too. She begins by asking him the tough questions about is he ready for commitment, a relationship and possible marriage and family. He talks openly about everything, and Nicole is happy that he is being this way with him you know. She sees him in a new light. They talk about future kids and how ach would react if their kids came out to them and everything. She really is happy that they talked. They kiss and laugh and kiss.

---Time for the farewell   dance and tonight there will be four names on the dance card. Nicole is still in such shock about Mr. Chapman
She is very nervous tonight along with others Mr. Holland and Mr. Mumbray

---Four dances and 2 suitors will be sent home (as I suspected). The four names are:
Mr. Chapman
Mr. Mumbray
Mr. Holland
Mr. Hunter

---1st dance with Mr. Mumbray which is already emotional. she says she wanted to tell him she has appreciated his gestures but she dears that they are still in th friendzone and not sure if they can get out of that. He says he just needs more time to get to spend together and he knows he can't force her to love him. She says she just doesn't feel like they will ever get there. It is sad he is sad the entire room is sad. He is let go. In the ITM he said he tried but there was never that spark.

---Next dance is with Mr. Holland he is confident that he and Nicole share something special and he is confident that they can grow even stronger. Nicole tells him she is worried that they may not be compatible as she feels like she is not there where he is. He sayd he does not want to force her to feel something she can't. She starts crying and he tells her it is ok. He hugs her and tells her it hurts that he is not that guy, but he appreciates her honestly. She apologizes and is crying so hard. He goes to hug the guys goodbe Nicole chooses to walk him out and everyone are in tears. In an ITM he is really sad and confused because he said he gave all he was and open with her. So sweet they hug and all as she is outside with him saying a final good bye

--Nicole comes back in and says she did not want to continue on with the dances and tells both Mr. Hunter and Mr. Chapman that she wants them to stay as she is happy with their connections ready to find love.

--In an ITM Mr. Hunter says he has to step up his game to open up and then the opposite from Mr. Chapman who says he has to have some discussions with Nicole about his doubts.

***getting intense, looks like in the preview more Mr. Chapman doubts and it looks like he leaves (this could be trickery) and the Mr. B & Nicole tub screen happens like we saw in the s/caps next episode 9****

So the F6 suitors left going into episode 9 are:

--Mr. Cones (shocked)
--Mr. Hunter
--Mr. Judge
--Mr. Bocchicchio
--Mr. Chapman
--Mr. Nasaire (the new Britt outlasts an OG Britt)

Thank you so much for all the updates!!! I enjoyed reading and catching up!

The remaining suitors display their physical prowess and stamina at the Festival of Strength, in order to win private time with Ms. Rémy. As one suitor's intentions are questioned, Ms. Rémy has to decide who and what to believe.



EPISODE 10 - CAROUSEL OF EVENTS

Summary: Ms. Rémy and her court grill the remaining five suitors on commitment. At a 19th Century Pleasure Garden, fortunes are told and feelings are exposed. Later, a telling conversation in the gentlemen's parlor reveals not everything is as it seems.

Thanks so much for posting.

I think EP 9 is the fake out of Mr. Chapman leaving like it is presented in the preview. Episode 10 title sounds like that will be the solo date Nicole has with Mr. Chapman like we have seen in the s/caps of them kissing on the Carousel. JMO.

Gotta love this man for knowing who HE is and his ability to honor himself for being just that .. himself to the core
