I'm glad he appears not to care about SM at this point, IMO he shouldn't. He's going to be hated by a lot of viewers, so he might as well enjoy.

The ex is going to have a story to tell, it's going to be interesting to hear his side of the story.

They will have to have several post AFR show's to cover all the back stories!  

Do we know the date of the Finale and AFR airing?

2/25-WTA
2/26-Fantasy suites
3/5-MTP/ LCD/Finale then ATFR

Does this look right?

Not sure if this is where Steve is getting his info from but yesterday Lauren responded to a fan account about this story saying it's fake news. The fan account has deleted the post. They made a comment on Lauren's Insta that they removed it after seeing her comment.

This makes sense to me.  Given there is a switcheroo to cover, they will want time at the finale to cover that, IMO.

I absolutely hate the phrase fake news. Hate it!

Interesting that Lauren and RS are both making it known she only has one past fiancé. IMO, this suggests Lauren and or her people are RS’s mole for the switch. No wonder he has been so kind to Lauren. JMO.

They found a final two with some interesting history this season.

He’s not always correct, but RS just came out on Twitter and said Lauren has not been engaged twice and he’s not sure where Mills got that information from.

I figured it wasn’t accurate given the amount of time she was with her ex fiancé.

IMO this is a major issue with Mills. He often says things that are not true and people take it to the bank as if it is.

It’s Arie being Arie doing an Arie on Becca. I’m happy she’ll be out of this fiasco after this . If Arie goes on the Media rounds , I’ll look forward to what Lauren emotes on her face when they ask so many questions about Becca.

Hey y'all! Long time no see. ITA with this, I was saying last night that I can't wait to see how ATFR and Media Blitz goes. I can't remember Jason and Molly doing those things even though it was pre SM days. I assume they would have done some of the talk shows but is the People cover shot before the final episode airs? Yikes.

Preview plus slow-mo

Jason and Molly did have a people cover, I don’t remember if it was immediately after or during DWTS. I think it was later because I remember it discussing Len saying the bachelors loss was DWTS’s gain.

That preview hints that Kendall was in the F2 if she would have said yes. Shades of Brad 2.0 where it seemed Ashley would be F2 if she didn’t sabotage the FD.

Seriously, how did he not pick Lauren?

Yeah, I agree. You wouldn't go against the word of an ABC exec, unless you had a better source than he did. Aka the girl in question herself. He's been way kinder to Lauren than he was to Molly, which is also pretty telling. IMO.

*JMO* here, it seems like the competitor in him comes out when the going get tough. It's what he knows best. I don't want to negate whatever feelings he may have had for the F3 but he is a career competitor. I think Becca's bf coming to get her (TPTB pulling all those strings) made her leap over Lauren in the end (if that is in fact what happened) b/c how could he NOT pick Lauren? It's all over his face that he has the strongest feelings for her even if I personally like Becca better.

Thoughts?

Lauren’s body language is interesting . Last night her itm at RC , she talked with her hands behind her back. Confident
In preview, hands on hips. Assertive, angry or irritated.

I think she wants confirmation that she’s the one at the end. She might be more aggressive in RL and towards the end. Jmo.

Two episodes back to back next week? Have they ever done that in other seasons?
