How much actual time............

[talldede]

I'd like to compose our best guess as to how much actual time in minutes and hours Andy has spent with each remaining girl.

For example;

Tessa
1st night - 30 mins. (I believe Andy said in an interview that he tried to spend 30 mins with each gal that night.)
2 on 1 date - 2 hours. (30 mins alone on the carrier, 1.5 hours on the ride back to mansion)
Tahoe - ????? Does anyone have a guess.
Cinderella Date - 6 hours ????
HT date, couch talk - 8 hours ????
Total - 16 hours, 30 mins

Bevin
1st night - 30 mins
Pool Play - 30 mins ????
Ambulance/Hospital - 2 hours
Tahoe SQT - 2 hours (Andy said SQT's were around 2 hours, I believe he said that when referencing his time with Erin.)
HT date, falls - 8 hours
Total - 15 hours


Danielle
1st night - 30 mins
Schoolyard date - 30 mins
?????? (I've not followed her closely because I think she is F3, but am happy to add in time for the Dani fans.)
Total - ?????

Please help me fill in the minutes and hours. And, I would be seriously disappointed if I did not get a comment from the MsFroggy.

Interesting idea, talldede.

The only blank that I would change would be the amount of time spent at the hometown dates. I'd say each of them probably spend quite a bit of time together that day. With each of them, he greets them in the daytime, they do an activity, then go to the parents for dinner, then he says goodbye at night. That's got to be at least, what 8 or 9 hours? Assuming they meet up around noon and everything is over around 8 or 9 pm??

Don't forget the time in the kayaks with Bevin

Thanks Secret.

I'll add 8 hours to the HT dates. I forgot, they start out when it is light outside, then arrive at the family homes at night. Good catch!

I knew there would be lots I'd forget?!?

How much time do you think they had in the kayaks?

I doubt if it was more than an hour.

There were six women on that date, and you figure that he had to spend time with the brunette group and the blonde group and then apparently some time with all of them, and then maybe a few minutes alone with others?

Do you want to add in the pre-RC conversations, too?

Episode 2 - foot massage convo Tessa and Andy
Episode 4? - pre-RC conversation where she tells him she doesn't want to get hurt

Episode 2 - Bevin asks Andy if there's anything he wants to know about her, she fans herself after
Episode 3? - Bevin and Andy talk on the couch w/ crutches in the background. Was that 3rd?

There's one for each every week, for the most part.. and I'm having trouble keeping the weeks straight now.

Thanks natashapierre and Secret.

I thought I'd be able to go back and forth and edit as we added more time, I'm not able to.
Mods, help please.

I was interested in doing this exercise, because I think it truly highlights that this is speed dating on steroids. I don't blame anyone (Tessa) at all for being highly skeptical. Looking at the amount of time Andy has with these gals, the situation would nearly have to be deep like at first sight for there to be any chance of a romance.

Amen.

Okay, on your time -- We've got Tessa with maybe an extra hour and a half (being generous) and Bevin with an extra two hours (ditto) and poor old Danielle with a little time -- maybe a half hour? -- at the casino in Tahoe? ....

So we're talking 18 to 20 hours each (generously figured) for Tessa and Bevin, spread over about three and a half weeks, and we still don't know how much for Danielle (what is *up* with this??).

In real life, if you started dating someone quite casually, you might get more time than that with them in the first three and a half weeks, plus there would probably be some phone calls and emails. If you just met somebody and you both quickly fell hard, you'd likely spend a *lot* more time. ...

So the idea that in another two weeks this person will either propose marriage to you or vanish from your life forever while proposing marriage to someone else would be enough to plant a gazillion doubts in your mind, it seems to me!

Bet they spent more than 1.5 hours returning from San Diego to Hollywood. It must have been at least 2 hours. My impression was the helicopter trip was just for effect and they were dropped at the airport and limo'd back to LA. It was quality time though!
