Being ready for marriage ... and not being ready to get engaged under certain circumstances are apples and oranges IMO. This is the Bachelor were watching here ... speed dating on steroids as I’ve called it many times before.  Even if she really likes him .. is falling in love ... wants to continue dating him ..BUT not ready to get engaged... doesn’t mean she wasn’t ready .. just means she’s taking this all a little more seriously than the average Bach contestant.  

It’s not about spinning anything .... it is what it is and it’ll play out the way it went down ... spinning it is what they did to edit Graham leaving ... that was manufactured... with Cassie and Colton ... we’ll see and hear the conversation that led to her leaving ... especially if they’re still dating now and all spoilers are correct.

It's possible that she was all in and ready but after hometown date her parents convinced her to put the breaks on it.

Never crossed my mind that he would be the one who isn't ready , especially knowing what TPTB expect at the end., but it's def another possible ending. Grrrrrrr Can't wait to see it all play out.

@Jolena And that is the morale of the story, imo.

Based on the new extended preview, it seems that Colton is saying that sending the other two girls home is F***** up, BUT he's here for love. What if that's the conclusion? LOVE not the action of getting engaged or married. I found it interesting colton talked about this yesterday on OTV, where he said that he feels that right now in life he wants to be married, have kids, and have a family. But later on he goes to say that though there's that initial excitement of "getting engaged" and "getting married" on the bachelor, you realize there are steps to take in order to achieve that. Perhaps Cassie and Colton talk about what they want in the future, getting married and having kids on the FD, but cassie brings up the steps to that happiness, and also the "reality check" her dad gave her when she was at Hometowns.

Is there a new preview out? I thought they usually come out on Thursdays. IF your referring to last weeks preview at the end of the show then I must've missed that part.

@Jolena The one where we saw Cassie in the limo. That's the new extended preview I was talking about. You can hear him say those things (though choppy) when he's crying in the itm wearing the navy blue button up with the white dots.

oh ok thanks! I'll have to go back and listen to it again.

@Jolena Sorry, let me clarify, it's a combination of the two extended previews.

Notice how things are a little spliced because you can hear him continue on with his statement of "i have sacrificed everything."

My point was that many said they didn't see her feeling the same way Arie did because of the way she acted.
Cassie could have but we haven't seen it, they're doing too much hiding their relationship.

Carrie seems to be the odds on favorite with so many people so I'm sure they want to keep some doubt. I believe that's why they showed some doubt into her edit.

I caught a clip of the F4 RC in the first preview and as someone has said the brown shoes are with Tayshia FD, saw the shoes on the boat with Tayshia.
