If there really isn't any story between her and Matt, why do they keep showing her (unlike Noelle, who is pretty much invisible)??? She's not in our faces the whole time, but they seem to make sure we don't forget her and they show her in a great light so everybody will fall in love with her. So either she will come out to the front with her one-on-one next week and be F1, or TPTB are hoping for us dancing around with joy when they announce her as the next Bachelorette after DeAnna.

To be truthful, I'm getting a strong Danielle vibe from Amanda at this point. I was hopeful that Amanda's storyline would be unveiled soon, but right now it appears that all Fleiss is doing is exploiting her for the meeps. And I do believe that additional meeps may have been added for effect.

After the debacle last season, I'm also not believing anything that Matt says in interviews which may appear to reflect back on one particular bachelorette because bach history shows that bachelors do know how to spin a line.

I can kinda see what you mean about Danielle F3 edit but remember she never got a one on one date until FD. I think that is a big difference. After next week we should see where things develop between them.

Her meeps seem more tourette-ish than hiccups.

We are not being shown any of his time with her. The first rose?! Come on Fleiss, again we tell you to show us the love blooming, hiding it is the old and tired plot. Do something new!

My thoughts, exactly. Amanda is beautiful, classy and sweet just like Danielle was, but hardly any interaction with the bachelor shown..just like Danielle's season. Some of us Danielle fans waited and waited each week hoping to see more interaction, but it just didnt happen.

After next week Fleiss may cure me of my addiction!

If by chance Fleiss decides to give us the love story do you think we'll ever get another one?

Did anyone notice Matt sat beside Amanda while they were in hot tub/pool then before the rose ceremony?

You took the words right out of my mouth! I noticed that and was so excited!! If you look close enough you can see those little things that show how into her he is.

I have no idea if in reality there was anything, but we sure aren't seeing it and the EDIT rule, imo. The next date will show them hitting it off in the one on one date to some extent, but it will look like he's not really physically sure of her. "perfect girl, but not enough heat" edit? At any rate whatever excuse is used for Matt not picking her, she hasn't received the required screen time to be f1.

Note: Is there really any girl that Matt doesn't seem turned on by? Yes, he talks about it in VOs, but he's like a kid in a candy shop with ADD.

Girlsmon..I couldn't have said it better myself...So far she has gotten zero screen time...

I believe that she is getting that same edit....I do believe that it is the Danielle edit too...

I'm not giving up on her either.The camera loves her and that's because they want to remind us she's there.They're trying to build up for next week's date,showing us little interactions on the rugby field,sitting beside her at the pool,having a little time with her for a convo when they were rudely interrupted and giving her the first rose last night.And, I also would like to know like the rest here,why they never show him kissing her after handing out the rose..Next week's date will be telling. I can hardly wait.
