I still remember how pugnacious Shawn Booth (Kaitlyn Bristowe's season) was with Nick Vial - I never thought Shawn would be the F1. Shawn's temper and jealousy were real red flags for me. But then he was her choice. I guess it still is possible that the producers are hiding something going on with Xavier - but it is odd that their interactions are not being shown at all.

And then Shawn wasn't her choice, CHO! Kaitlyn needed your help seeing red flags that many of us saw.

I thought he showed a tendency to be cocky in episode 2 - sticking his tongue out and bragging about how he's got this - during the kick ball game. Then he didn't get screen time with Charity during ep 2....
But ... Dotun gets the bungee jump date - "leap of faith" - usually for the F1. And Dotun and Joey get dates in public. Dotun - the street running race where Charity is in bright pink and Joey dancing with Charity in a public square. It looks like Xavier is on the secluded island in the water with Charity - so that type of secluded date venue would usually be for the F1 - but Xavier wasn't shown practically at all in ep 2. Are producers trying to hide their immediate/intense connection on night one ?

To answer the bolded, I think it is possible that TPTB need to hide Xavier for awhile. Sometimes the connections are so strong from the beginning that if they showed all of their interactions, people would think "She's done. No need to watch"

And we do see that Xavier has a one on one in Washington but not public.

I can't put it into words but I FEEL like Xavier is not F1. He's the one Charity talked about when she said talked about not liking wishy-washy traits. To me, the long previews points to Dotun as F1, but I've been fooled by those previews multiple times. I think it's between Dotun or Joey.
