This time it was an emotional connection when they talked about careers and relationships as opposed to the physical connection that was established when she spoke with Kip and mentioned his appearance out of the limo.
Until Melissa, we always saw the lead interact with at least the F1, F2, and F3, and we could look for the connections that were made at the Meet and Greet.
There was so much criticism aimed at the editors and producers over the fact that Melissa wasn't even shown at the Meet and Greet that I suspect they are possibly going back to the original format where the lead is shown at least talking with the F3 if not the F4. From an editing standpoint, I am anxious to see!
