They edit the show to incite a fan favorite, but whether it is to build support for the F1 or the lead for the next season has been a 50/50 in my book. So is Bubba being edited for the F1 or the next lead???

For selfish reasons, I hope it is the next lead. Bubba is the best one this season to carry that role. IMHO. Can you imagine a whole season of him?

On the other hand, if Bubba is the one that Paige fell madly in love with, then I am happy for both of them!

yeah, the producers are killing me with the editing! . Bubba (and little Shaun) are definitely the fan favourites. They have a VERY favourable edit (plus I'm sure they're great guys) and have a lot of screen time compared to the rest. I think it's safe to assume that little Shaun will not be F1... and I don't see him being cast as their next bachelor either. Way too young... they'd have to start casting 18 yr old girls? And Bubba is like the perfect guy for his own season. That is, if he's not f1 haha. It's clear the producers are pushing him as the F1 to the audience.... guess I'll just have to wait until the finale :pinkcry: .. like a normal person.
But if JJ is F1... I just want to see more of them!!! Is that too much to ask? I feel like I do see their chemistry... but the editors are making their interactions so chopped up and whatever connection they have is not coming across (at least the to average audience) as much as the connection she has with Bubba or even little Shaun (When in reality JJ and Paige may have a really strong connection). For example, When Paige goes to see the country guys during camping, there was a clear shot of Jeremiah and Paige walking together towards the camp fire to meet the other country guys. Who knows - maybe he just gave her a beer, or just happened to walk in the same direction. But my point is, they're editing out a lot of their interactions.
I'm guessing if JJ is F1, it'll come as a surprise to most viewers. They'll probably take the slow and steady route.

Well, Dee...I have a theory on that but I am only speculating. It is possible they can't show much with Jeremiah because it would be too obvious when they are together. We have seen a glimpse of them sitting next to each other on the bales of hay, walking together at the paintball date, him tying the bandana around her neck, walking together on the camping trip date, but no meaningful interaction other than their 1:1. I will be watching Paige closely on her 1:1 date with Bubba and looking for the face I saw at the viewing party...the face that is beaming. I hope you are posting during the show so I can hear your thoughts. After tomorrow night, Bubba is going to project way ahead as the front runner in the eyes of the general public. I also think Jeremiah is going to take a nosedive for going after little Shaun. It should be an interesting show!

It seems like such a let-down for me that I'm just watching by myself at home tomorrow night. The last two weeks were so over-the-top amazing and now I'll be back to "reality"...sitting in my own little corner, in my own little chair. At least I can Bee whatever I want to Bee! :awesome:

ETA: I have a feeling they are going to show the JJ and Shaun fight. I just hope they show that it's all good between them after.

Aw, I'm going to have to rely on your posts to get me through the night! I'll post my reactions when CMT posts the episode online

About the fight... yeah I hope they show how everything is good between them.
