Maybe it was sacrificed to show SQT with Jake... But odd choice to cut time away from F1 - especially such a swoon-worthy moment!

IKR I was actually looking forward to seeing it because I love that movie. Strange choice to cut it. Their date was so quick - a few leaps in the air, a kiss in the rain and then straight to the couch.

It was pouring rain out so I wonder if they weren't able to catch any shots of them rowing that were clear since they were on the water? I recall Osher saying in interview (I think a FB video) that weather caused problems with filming

There were so many BTS pics of the date too so it shows how much is not shown and how much time they spent together. With the GD, SQT, and CP and then RC with Cam leaving there was a lot put into this episode. It would have been nicer if they had it as a longer episode too!

Surely they could have cut back some of that cringey GD to show more of Lee... considering at the very least he is F2. I was expecting tonight to really bring us back to Lee and GL's love story before HTDs, especially with Matty becoming a big viewer favourite, but I didn't feel like they nailed it at all. Gosh, do they want us to see their love story or not?

Maybe the love story is Matty after all...

I don't like how Lee doesn't look her in the eyes much. He's always shrugging and looking everywhere but. Shy, perhaps, yet I don't find him that compelling for that reason and he's worried about all the other guys (like Court) - contrasted with Matty who says 'yeah it's not ideal but it's what we've been dealt and if it's what I have to go through to get Georgia I'll do it'. Much more appealing attitude IMO.

Plus, she pulled Matty aside at the cocktail party (what was edited to look like first and may or may not have been first).

I've noticed the lack of eye contact too - don't know what to make of it.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I know what you mean. I'm more team Matty (cause I can see a great love story there) but I was really hoping after today's SD that i would go wow if Lee wins i'll be happy. I was a bit disappointed cause I just felt like the sexual chemistry was there but the emotional side was lacking a bit. I wasn't drawn in as a viewer

Well he wears glasses maybe he can't see my husband wasn't impressed with the "Clark Kent/Superman" vibe he was getting from him. His words not mine. Told you he's never watching with me again

I know it's all edited for a purpose - but at least Alex was given a personality, and she practically narrated their whole season. It was like when Sam was on Blake's Bachelor - it was virtually the Sam show. I want to feel something for Lee, especially if he's F1, because I like GL - but they're giving us nothing. Just strange to cut so much of his date when he's obviously supposed to mean something huge to her in 3 eps and we're supposed to be invested.

That's hilarious! Glad she can laugh about it. Still shaking my head at the bizarre edit she received.

I think I have asked this question a million times so bear with me. The F1 for bachelor gets the chemistry edit F2 get emotional/ similarity connection. Is it the same for the bachelorette or is it swapped. Because I feel Lee has more in common with Georgia than Matty so if the bachelorette is swapped that equals Lee for F1.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in SamFro's season it was sexy with Sasha but I thought they had an emotional connection as well and you could see it. Both Chemistry and similarity went to Sasha, F2 Michael was just hot I guess...

I totally agree. I was waiting to get, after this single date with Lee, what all the TeamLee people were seeing in him that could possibly trump Matty. All I saw was, again, a super nice but less interesting guy. And can I just say that if the producers are paying attention to SM and M and this forum, and knowing that the cat is out of the bag about who final 2 are, there is no reason IMO (and from my experience in TV) that they can't adjust the edit even a couple of days before it goes to air and if Matty wins, they can absolutely, if they want, abandon the whole misdirection surprise goal and go for the actual love story goal. It wouldn't be that hard IMO. I am seeing Matty featured as the lead male at the moment and it's been building steadily and if it's all just to go "ha-ha fooled ya! sucked in suckaz!" at the end, then the producers are seriously out of touch with what the viewers want. If Matty ISN'T the winner, at least give us a reason to barrack for Lee or Jake other than that they are nice, hot and into G. Right now the message being sent is NO ONE IS MORE INTO G THAN MATTY (IMO) - so....what?...so we can cheer when someone LESS INTO HER wins??? (Where's the head-scratch emoji when you need it?)
