Any clue to what the context is?

My brother made me watch it back (he’s called Richie since day 1 and also called Sam and Snez being the F1 in their seasons of The Bachelor), and I noticed it seems more like Richie makes a comment that just means a lot to Sam and if anything the other guys (Dave in the preview) says ‘he knew what that meant to her’ so I think if anything it could be the guys are upset they didn’t say whatever Richie did? Just my take, I don’t really see it making Richie look negative.

Ahhh I was thinking it might be that! Sneaky editors...

I remember in one of the previews for Blake's season, the promo suggested Sam was going to have trouble opening up to him but it all ended up okay. They always do this towards the end with the frontrunner and try to stir up conflict.

Your brother has a good eye! Personally, I can always tell who wins but I'm having a lot of trouble this season. My gut says Richie, my head says Sasha.

I’m having the same issue! But this episode has just made me rethink EVERYTHING aha and personally I feel like after everything Sam said about Richie if she didn’t pick him I’m going to be like ‘…her loss…sorry but come on?!’ aha. My brother does have a good eye, always manages to pick it...

I find it interesting that Sam did for Richie what Blake did for her in season 2. She was over the moon that she got to see the video about her family so I think it was a very special thing to do for Richie

I am finally watching the episode and this is amazing!
The way that Richie and Sam are together is incredible.
I could imagine them as exactly this type of 80+ year old couple.

Sam said this about Richie at the nursing home:

..."Richie is the perfect person to grow old with... he makes me laugh and he has such a beautiful soul"
... "No one has made me laugh as much as Richie has" (Ugh!! this is what Art said to Matilda   )
... "I just feel special when I am around him. Like I am the only girl in the world and that's what every girl dreams for"

(I think the comparison to Art and Matilda is uncanny!! I actually think these two are perfect together. Just like Art and Matilda... a lifetime of laughter and fun and caring)

I am 100% it's Richie and Sasha is F3

^^ Would love that... but how?

Sam: "My incredible date with Richie has really put things into perspective. It's made me reevaluate exactly what I'm really looking for in a relationship."

This quote is the clincher IMO. You can't go past an epiphany like that. Sam suddenly realises what she deserves and it's taken her date with Richie to see that.

I loved loved this date and defnately see th start of something with them. She had a light bulb moment on this date but Richie will have to step it up as he still looks fidgety around her. I see the other two front runners are more comfortable with their approach. I am team Michael but wont mind at all f she ends up with Richie. He is a solid choice. Sasha may have peaked too early imo...I feel like other people are surpasing what she initially felt towards Sasha.
Should be an interesting final lap

For those that want to watch Richie's single date...
(I laughed at the beginning with tears in my eyes and then... tears in my eyes at the end too)

What I loved about this date was that Sam realized her "type" (meaning physical type) wasn't the be and end all.

No one else makes Sam laugh like Richie does. Sam is totally herself with him (even the no makeup) and it just felt real and honest between them.

I can see why she would see how it could be "real" between herself and Richie but I think Sasha was the physical type and physical chemistry and Richie is too late in the game :/

Oh wow, I'm getting confused too!

Thanks for the vid AAL! He's adorable!
