Nick Viall - Bachelor 21 - Episode 9 Feb 27 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

It'll be half hour Corinne, half hour Rachel, then DLo, Kristina, and whoever thinks they weren't given a fair chanse, to confront Nick about his reasonings. I'll skip, tbh. JMO.

All im interested in is the finale preview they always show at the end of WTA

Before Nick was even considered the Bachelor, Andi was busying throwing shade and writing a book. Now since he's "The Bachelor" she even accepts to come on the show and give him advice. Girl, please! I see right through you.

Hey go easy on Andi this is her only means of income!!! She has to butter up to Nick for 2 minutes in the spotlight to keep money coming in...quite ironic if you ask me

My fear is how much screen time is Andi going to get? because they are only showing that talk, a rc and one fantasy date... for an hour.

Watching her season was enough of a chore. I wish they'd stop giving her attention.

The interesting part to me in the press release is "As they watch the spectacular Northern Lights together, this could turn into the ultimate night of romance and the beginning of a beautiful relationship – or the end of the journey for one of the women." I am leaning towards this being Rachel's date because we saw them together in a previews where she was telling Nick she admires how he handled himself....I can see him telling her while watching the northern lights that he Admires her so much he cannot take her further when he knows his heart is elsewhere! Kaboom audience already knows she is next bachelorette anyway, so leaves the final 2 fantasy dates with Vanessa & Raven head to head for finale suspense!!!

The season has been "unpredictable" so it could be Nick & Vanessa's FS date.

But there is supposed to be a well-kept secret to be revealed. If it's Rachel, what is it? If it's Vanessa, what is it?

So is the date description all 1 date? The heli flying/landscape (day time) is about the secret being revealed ... and then the night portion with northern lights where "they" question whether the woman stays (will there be a FS)?
... so is it possible those SCs of the teepee and Nick warming himself up near the "fire" are part of that same date ... and Nick seems pensive, like fearing if the woman will show up (IDK; I'm guessing) or is it after her exit ... Would they show Rachel's date in the stand-alone hour for then having Raven's and Vanessa's date being compared in the episode before WTA?

Nah. I think it's Raven's date. The press release states the Bachelorette finally reveals her feelings. That was Raven's conflict that we last left her with. Vanessa has already dropped the love bomb. That leaves Raven and Rachel. I think rachel's elimination will happen in the second hour right before WTA. They will want to save that in the edit. Of the three, Raven is totally MOT. So she gets the first throwaway date. They will save Vanessa and Rachel for next week - leading up to WTA. IMO.


And for the record, I'm placing a bet that the big secret is Raven is saving herself for marriage.

I would have thought Raven with the first date...but with the hacked up edits....IMO they will show Rachel first so she can be eliminated a week earlier for the Ette role. At the WTA... I am assuming they want Vanessa and Raven's dates shown just prior so the can heighten the drama of who will Nick pick?? Not that the edits make sense....but IMO having a week between airing Vanessa and Raven makes No sense at all from a production standpoint or keeping the unspoiled viewers guessing standpoint. But stranger things have happened so maybe not.....

Yeah, I'm torn for the reasons posted above by @sosleepy and @seabear. But if it's Rachel's date, what do you think the secret could be?

Yeah I guess maybe I could see it being Rachel. The only thing I'm very confident about is no Vanessa again next week. That's 4 weeks she's been essentially ignored (yes I realize she would have been shown if they had kept the two hours together.) Worst editing ever this season.
