The Courtship - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

 @chasus71  @Jeepers thanks for your recaps and posts.  I'm really bummed I can't watch this show as it combines two things I love - Bach and history (even if it's faux history).

Anyway, I noticed a post on Castle Howard's ig that said filming took place between 9 Sept and 9 Oct last year.  Looking at when the remaining guys resurfaced on ig, Mr Chapman posted on 8 Oct which would make him very doubtful.  Mr Cones posted on 10 Oct, which would make him doubtful too if the final couple spent any time together afterwards.  Mr Judge posted on 14 Oct, but his saved stories post filming look suspiciously like he is not the f1 imo. Possibly f2.

Can't see Mr B because he is private.  Is anyone following him?

DannyBs first post after 10/9 was not until 10/20

Ah ok.  So Mr J, Mr B, and Mr H are more than likely the f3.

Miles 1st post after filming was on 10/6 (he announced when he left and when he returned home)

Chapman’s 1st post was 10/8 .. supposedly in US with his dog at a lake

Comes 1st post was 10/9 .. supposedly in London

DannyBs 1st post was 10/20

Yes .. it does appear that Mr Judge . Mr Hunter and DannyB are the final 3

I agree Mr. Judge is the tallest guy there and in that photo which appears to be the F2, Mr. Judge is def in the F2.


***Right now I am listening in on the Insta Live with Nicole and Mr. Mumbray. So fun, . Mr. Mumbray is soooo cool!!!****

**She said her fave date so far was with Mr. Holland on the horses. Of course, she can't say too much beyond that since the show is still airing***

***Mr. Mumbray is heading back to England at the end of May after he visits the east coast specifically NY, potentially coming back to the states at the end of SEP***

***Charlie said a big no to doing Love Island, someone asked that question  He said he would do a cooking show though.

***Charlie said the funniest suitor was Danny B. and Tessa had great one liners; achilles, and Mr. Cones had funny moments too***

**Someone asked if he liked Dominicans and he said of course I do!!!

***Nicole said Lincoln had the best facial expressions and so did Danny B***

***Charlie said it was kind of weird pursuing the same woman because you think you have a good connection, but the other guy could have a better one**

Achillis, CPT Kim and Mr. Holland were joined in on the live in the comments.

A lot of the guys appeared to travel after their final dance

Yes they did.  In Mr J's stories, he's seen partying with a couple of castmates that obviously hung around after filming.  Can't see him as f1.

Lincoln and Miles were there as well
Jaquan is in some of the pics of the crew hanging out

Great sleuthing, Agent99! So the screencaps from the IG story are immediately following filming, not present day, correct? If so, that is some strong evidence that it's a Battle of the Dans (now that Battle of the Brits is over, haha).

I'll also add that Dan Hunter, for the most part, doesn't seem to post on IG all that often. There is that latest screencap of him watching an episode with some of the other guys, but I am not reading too much into that. Bryan Abasolo from Rachel's season of Bachelorette was captured a few times out with some of the other contestants and now they're married. To my knowledge, he hasn't engaged with any of Nicole's posts.

Danny B seems to post/share stories every few days, mainly about real estate stuff. His activity is a bit more difficult to read, though. On April 7, Nicole posted a a shot of her on the bed and he liked it. Tarneshiawilliams left a comment saying how she thinks Danny is the one and Nicole liked it and left a message saying "interesting read." (Note Nicole as of late has been liking people's comments about other suitors, too, but this is the first one I caught.) What is interesting is that Danny B liked the post as well and then the next day it was removed.

Additionally, Danny posted a pic series from a park with a pond (like episode 2) and there is a suspicious square thing in one of his pockets. One of the pics is him on the ground making a funny joke about "big 'duck' energy" with the fountain spraying up behind his crotch area. Dani Baker (Nicole's sister) liked the post and left a comment asking why he was on the ground. (Note Dani engages with a lot of the suitor's social posts.) Now I'm not saying it was an engagement ring box in his pocket (could easily be Altoids) and he was sending some subliminal messaging between that, the pond, and his "big 'duck' energy" comment (this was at the time when folks began saying he was too intense and standoffish), but what raises flags for me is that within hours he disabled all comments, and I believe it was shortly after Dani left her comment. Couple this with the fact that he keeps going back and forth between making his profile public and private, and it just makes me scratch my head. (Perhaps he's toggling privacy due to trolls and not to misdirect?) Also, that park is in Staten Island, so I doubt he was proposing, even if it was a ring, because of it being so public and the fact that Nicole hasn't been out East since the promos. But it could be him foreshadowing something--hence Dani's now hidden comment: "Why are you on the ground"--or misdirecting.

Regardless, I am getting a sense that the producers built him up to introduce doubt--to throw off the scent--just to build him back up. For some reason I think Nicole is misdirecting by saying, "Don't count out Dan Hunter." There are only a few episode left and I just feel like it would be so random have one late episode where all of sudden their love story just skyrockets--makes for poor storytelling. Thus far the only true arcs I've seen are Lincoln's and Danny B's, and Lincoln is definitely around for at least two more episodes. I think they are going to make room for Jesse to have some action, but I just can't tell.

You can watch it here. At least it works for me.

1Seasononly .. I'll also add that Dan Hunter, for the most part, doesn't seem to post on IG all that often. There is that latest screencap of him watching an episode with some of the other guys, but I am not reading too much into that.

Seeing as we were shown a minuscule amount of the Dan Hunter chat with Nicole .. and I don’t see any way that they didn’t talk about her question to him .. we most likely won’t see much more with them due to all the drama ahead.  He has only liked a handful of Nicoles posts .. or any others for that matter .. he is not very active on social media anyways .. and is not seen in any of the immediate post show stuff either .. DanntB and Jesse are seen in several post show group pics.

Gotta keep in mind that Nicole posts about what the episodes actually show on screen as well

@1SeasonOnly thanks for posting. Very Interesting thoughts. I enjoy reading others insights on the show. I know next episode we are back to Danny B. Front and center so hopefully that brings even more clarity on that duo. I do believe he is one of the 3 top guys. Still on the fence believing he is F1 as the sm from everyone on this show is somewhat hard to read. I just think aside from his work, Mr. B seems like a private person.

Only time will tell as we get closer to the final episodes
