No worries, but I think I'll love Sam even she's not from Melbourne, she's such a sweetheart. And Morningside Peninsula is gorgeous, it's about 30 minute drive from where I live.

Just checked and it is only 1:40 in the afternoon in Sydney right now. Won't be staying up to get your comments live Sammy.

yep there's still more than 5 hours to go before the show airs

So it would start at 1:30 am for me. We live on a ranch and are up early. Tomorrow the workers are ripping 5 acres - it's like putting a big claw into the ground 3 feet deep. Lots of noise and dust. They then disc it and smooth it out again. Getting ready to plant more vineyard.

Episode with FDs if you haven't seen it

For those still wanting to do some sleuthing or just for fun want  to see who the F1 and F2 may be I would suggest doing the following....

Watch your F1 choice's most significant moments
--- I've embedded all the video episodes in the Online Links thread on this forum and just skip to the parts with your F1 so it feels as if you are watching a movie about Blake and your F1 choice..

I watch them in sequence from first date/limo to most recent F3 episode just with my chosen F1


Because I am Sam=F1, that means Most Significant Moments:

Ep 1.. spread throughout) Sam, we get an intro on her and her family. Meeting Blake out of Limo. He says he gets the feeling she doesn't know how gorgeous she is. Blake seeks Sam out to talk to her and when Anita tries to intercept he still says, he wants to talk to Sam. Blake doesn't understand how she is single. Family is the main topic of conversation. No rose. Sam is upset. She gets it in RC near the end.

Ep 5 starts around 4:50) Sam and Blake's first date at movie diner. Feels like high school. Holding hands is very intimate. Blake calls her funny Sam, sexy Sam. They watch a home movie of "The Life of Sam" that is "To be continued...." Blake says it is easy to fall in love with you. Tells Sam to remember this moment. They kiss. She gets a rose.

Ep 8 starts at 41:00) Sam wants to leave. Blake begs her to stay. He tells her about how life has challenges and he is looking for just one person at the end of this and needs to be supported. Sam talks with him and apologizes because she feels stupid thinking he actually likes her. Blake looks bewildered at this idea. He tells her she has nothing to apologize for. She makes him smile and laugh. He has tears in his eyes. It will be terrible if she left. She makes being on the show possible.

Ep 10 starts at 29:57) Cake making group date. Blake says he really wants to try Sam's cupcakes. He says, "wow". Sam says Louise helped her. Blake and Sam are sitting next to each other closest on the table.

Ep 11 starts 5:28) Sam's second single date is a picnic which they get to by helicopter. Blake feeds her strawberries and Sam doesn't know if she should take a bite or the whole thing? They laugh like crazy. Blake wants to take it to another level. He wants to know about her past and if she can see him as someone she can be with. She lets him know that she is working on not being someone that bolts when things get hard. She says she just does that to protect her heart because she cares too much. Blake says that Sam showing her vulnerable side makes him want to be very protective. He feels like their relationship is really progressing. He asks Sam if she thinks she could have a relationship with. Sam says yes and she loves his dorky side. Blake acknowledges that they share this trait and says he finds Sam's dorkiness very sexy. Tells Sam he can see a future with her. Tells Sam he wants her to realize that she is very much in this. Wants his journey to continue with Sam. Blake gives rose mid-date. He tells Sam how he feels about her is different to anyone else. He says he gets lost in Sam when they kiss.

Ep 12 starts at 10:20) Blake seeks out Sam on Group Yacht date. . Says it is so difficult now. But tells Sam to have faith, to believe in what they have together.  And it the politest way possible she needs to give herself more credit. Blake presents Sam with this scenario: Say it all ended tomorrow, and it was Blake and Sam, what does she think about this? Sam says she can fall for him and cannot believe people like Blake even exist... and to think Blake digs her blows her mind. She has tears in her eyes. Sam gets the only rose on the date (in Ep 3, during the barn date, they chat about mutual crush on each other but Blake doesn't give a rose to Sam even though the girls thought he would).[/size]

Ep 13 starts 43:00) Blake seeks out Sam during cocktail party. Sam says communication is key to relationship. Sam says she she is down here and the other girls are up here. She is worried he has already made his choice. Blake is bewildered. He doesn't know why she says herself so differently from how he sees her. He tells Sam he loves the way she expresses herself, even if she fumbles her way through it. He loves that about her. Sam feels validated and wants to nurture their relationship.

Ep 14 starts around 28:00) Sam wins the Heart challenge with Lisa. She goes back to Blake's place with Lisa. They play truth or truth. Sam asks Blake if he thinks he can find love in this amount of time. Blake says yes. Lisa asks Blake if he can see a future with Sam or her. Blake won't answer that. Instead he asks Sam if by the end of this journey she can fall in love. Sam says definitely and that it is awkward since Lisa is there. Lisa says she is happy to hear Sam say it. Lisa says she is cool. Sam agrees and is glad that, if she has to sit on the couch with Blake and someone else, she is glad it is Lisa. Lisa's presence made Sam more comfortable to tell Blake how she is feeling. Sam thinks she can fall in love but is concerned that it will be diluted due to time and the number of girls present. She tells Blake she thinks she is falling in love with him. She says that if and when he meets her family and joins the dots that make up who she is then Sam will know if Blake is the one for her straight away. Blake grins, his whole body is turned toward Sam. By the end of the night he is holding Sam's hand. Lisa witnesses all of this and says she is cool with them having their moment.

Ep 15 starts 5:20) Sam's third date with Blake is the Fairy Tale date. He wants another date with her to take it to another level. Blake sees Sam dressed up and says it takes his breath away because she is jeans and t-shirt girl but she can be sophisticated as well. He says that their first date was about her life story (we see a flashback to their first date) and now he wants this third date with Sam to be about 'us'. He says that she hasn't been spoilt much in her life and she is so special so she deserves the perfect date. Blake takes her to Bunda jewellery store. Sam says she has never even be given diamonds before or even held them. She gets to borrow some jewels to go with her dress. She also tries on an engagement ring on her engagement ring finger (which is similar to the one Blake designs in Episode 19, the F3). Sam is overcome with emotion. Blake has tears in her eyes at how moved she is. He tells Sam that she is 'one of the world's best kept secrets'. Blake says he loves Sam's openness and rawness. She leans into Blake and he comforts her. They go to a ballroom where music is playing. Blake wants to make a toast (Sam loves making toasts) and he toasts to Sam. He asks her to dance. She tries to get a mint first from her bra because of her champagne breath. It down her dress. Blake cracks up laughing. Blake says the dance didn't go as planned but that is what he loves about her. Blake kneels down before Sam and pseudo-proposes with a mint. Blake says he pictures a future with 'us'. Sam wants a role model for her brothers. Someone that is supportive. She says she would be privileged to have Blake in her and her families life. Blake says 'It still gets me' when he thinks about what Sam has said about him. Blake tells Sam that her humility is her best quality. He says he identifies with her because of how she was raised. He tells her he is falling for her. They kiss. He gives her a diamond necklace. She is in awe. Blake tells her that it is for keeps. Sam says it is something she will keep forever. She never wants the fairy tale to end.


Ep 16 starts 29:33) Blake and Sam meet prior to Hometown dates... They have high tea. Blake talks about the process.. the journey he has had with Sam. He is thrilled that Sam is opening up to him because that is exactly what he is here for. Blake asks what she thinks about what lies ahead. Sam says you mean hometown visits. She tells Blake she is more worried for him which is not what he expected and he laughs. He tells Sam that if her brothers can read him anywhere near as well as Sam can then there will be no problems. Blake wants to meet the people that can be potentially in his life. Blake asks Sam how she feels about 'us'. She says she feels quite confident in what they have and thinks she can be the girl in the end. She asks Blake what he thinks about when he thinks about a future with her. Blake says he thinks they will have fun, great times, amazing times. He says they vibe off each other and have mutual goals. Sam says this is lovely. He asks Sam if she has found love, something he says is hard to ask her. Sam says yes but she thinks it is so unstable so she's too scared to invest completely in it. Blake asks her what would it take. Sam says maybe getting rid of the other girls. They laugh. She says she will know when he is around her family. She gets a rose and HTD.

Ep 17 starts at 39:28) Women Tell All... Sam and Blake's journey is shown highlighting some of the significant moments from past episodes. Everyone is awwwing and aahing. Some girls wipe away tears. Lauren says Blake is most at ease, most natural, most himself with Sam. Chantal says Sam is the one for Blake and that watching them together is very emotional. It is Wow! Jaw drop! Zoe says Blake has worked hardest to get Sam to open up. Zoe also says Sam is real.

Ep 18 starts at 14:00) This is Sam's hometown date. Blake narrates that he wants to know if Sam is ready to commit to something that can last a lifetime because he knows he is. They relax in hot springs. Blake says he is so glad to see Sam wearing the necklace he gave her. (There is a flashback scene of him putting it on her). Sam says she never takes it off. Blake is surprised. He says it suits her. Sam says it is so special to her and she hasn't taken if off since Blake put it on her. She says she felt privileged. She hasn't taken it off because she is holding onto her fairytale date with Blake. Sam is nervous about her family meeting Blake. It is make or break. Blake asks Sam what he can do that will make them not approve of him. Sam says he should be himself. Sam says she will know if she can invest completely once she sees him in her world. In Sam's sister, Chris's house, Blake tells Chris what he thinks of Sam. He says she is one of the funniest people he has ever met in his life. He says he thought Sam was really cute and nervous when she walked out the limo (Flashback to this moment). Chris asks Blake if he is falling for Sam. Blake says he is falling for Sam. Chris says how can you not. Blake agrees. Blake says he has a lot of love to give, just like Sam does, and for the right person, he wants to give his all to them. Chris tells Sam she thinks Blake is genuine and is falling for her and wants to be a part of a family. She has no concerns since she senses he is genuine and has fallen for Sam and can see him a part of their family. Sam says Blake has made he realize she deserves love and that Blake makes her ridiculously happy. Chris says it is time for Sam to be loved. At the dinner table, Sam and Blake sit across from each other. Blake is flanked on both sides by Sam's younger brothers. Sam asks her younger brother Josh if he likes Blake. He says Blake has his approval and he is a good guy. Sam wants to toast because everyone knows she loves toasts. They toast to Sam and everyone laughs. Blake and Sam end the HTD saying goodbye. Sam expresses doubts because of the other girls. It is what it is. She wants to invest fully but is scared. She is really sorry. Blake says he understands and is really going to miss her. And this is the last opportunity he is going to have to see and talk to her for a while. Blake asks Sam if she can see him being a part of her family. Sam says very easily. Blake asks if this is what she really really wants. Sam says yes but needs to be realistic about it. She cannot give him the same response back. Blake says he has told her before that he is falling and he hopes that in the very least she is feeling what he is feeling. Sam stutters and just falls into Blake. Blake says he is being as vulnerable as he can and Sam couldn't return that. They said goodbye and Blake is confused. Sam's doubts are giving Blake doubts. At the Rose Ceremony, Blake says he is really really falling for Sam but worries she has her guard back up. Blake has to make the right decision. He cannot second guess himself. Sam narrates that she is not ready for their journey to end. Blake gives Sam the F3 rose. Sam hugs Jess before going to get the rose.


Ep 19 starts 5:30) Cape Town, South Africa... Since we know Sam and Lisa are F2, we can include Blake at Bunda designing an engagement ring. He went there with Sam on his fairytale date. She tried on a ring similar to what he designs.
Blake says he wants to explore his deeper feelings with Sam. Is she someone he wants to introduce to his family. Is she the right one to take on this journey? The meet and Sam jumps into his arms. Blake informs her they are going white shark cage diving. Blake says so many times he pictured moments like this with Sam and now they are doing it. He says we have been on a journey, wait adventure, together, and this is on another level. They watch sharks eat seals. They get into the cages. Blake wraps his arms around Sam. Blake says with Sam he knows she is up for everything and he knows diving with sharks is out of 'our' comfort zone. Sam and Blake get onto a super yacht with Table Mountain in the background. Sam tells Blake she loves Lisa and Louise but she feels sick when she thinks of him on dates with them but she loves them and they are incredible women. She knows how great they are. Blake asks if Sam if she knows how great she is. Sam says Blake tells her a lot that she is. Blake asks her if she believes it though. Sam tells Blake she is concerned that if he chooses her in the end he will be disappointed and that is why she wants Blake to know everything about her before he makes a decision and send home incredible girls thinking that I am something that I am not. Blake tells Sam he has no illusions about who she is and he thinks she is an incredible woman. Sam then asks Blake if he thinks he knows her well enough. Blake laughs because for him it is impossible not to know who Sam is. Sam laughs. Blake narrates that in Sam, he sees someone that is amazing, that is down to earth, someone who is so genuine and can light up a room just with her presence. Blake says he wishes that Sam could see herself through his eyes. Blake asks Sam how did she feel after he met her family. Sam says she was blown away. Blake seems pleased. Sam says everyone, especially her brothers, loved him. Sam says she now knows she loves him and needs to tell him. Sam tells Blake that he makes her really happy. She says her sister told her that she seems really happy. Sam is scared to drop the L bomb. Sam struggles with saying the words. She tells Blake that she feels like he already knows what she is going to say. Sam tells Blake, "I do, hand on heart, love you, very much so and sometimes I can tell by the way you look at me, you love me too". Blake smiles and says that makes him so so happy to hear her say that. Sam says it really isn't that hard after you say it. Blake says it isn't, is it. Blake says that having Sam saying she loves him means so much because Sam won't say something unless she absolutely means it. Sam apologizes to Blake for struggling so much to say she loved him to him and that she is not very good at it. Blake says there is being good at something and there is being genuine and Sam is genuine and and he would take genuine anytime, anywhere. Blake whispers thank you to Sam... then says you alright...? They make out/kiss. Sam says she feels like Blake and her have moved on in their relationship and it is a really good place to be. Later at the RC, Sam is not sure if she is going home because she may not be enough for Blake. Blake narrates that he's fallen for all three and has no idea who he is going to choose. Blake gives the first F2 rose to Sam. Sam is heartbroken that one of the other girls is going to be hurt and go home. Louise doesn't get a rose and Sam hugs Lisa and cries. Sam is one of the F2 with Lisa.

AllAboutLove, I don't know what you do for a living but you need to write a love story novel about this two. I am so captivated seeing Blake and Sam's love story through the window of your eyes, amazing!!!!
