She actually came out of the limo the same as she was edited which is #3 - Graham's same number. Her edit mirrors his in that she gets the very first date - it is obvious that Jake is very attracted to Ali just as it was obvious that DeAnna was very attracted to Graham - and like Graham, Ali is going to leave after the Hometown Date. Like Graham, until she leaves, although we see others rising in the storyline, she is still the frontrunner. However, both she and Graham will leave the show as F4.
Although she does absolutely - no doubt - get caught up emotionally in all of it, nevertheless, I have to highly suspect that Ali was deliberately CAST as F4 to leave precisely when she does for the storyline.
**If so and this is true, then it is also true that she took off of work for a specified time ( to correlate with the F4 departure) and has to be back at work at a given time. Thus, it would be true that she "has to leave for work purposes."
Tenley has F2 written all over her, but I don't think she had any idea of that. Jake may have know from the word go that Tenley was still too new and raw to be the final one, but that is speculation. However, she starts out at the Meet and Greet with F2 qualities: Molly's list, including the part about being a good kisser which sets the stage for the physical attraction.
Also, as an aside, did anyone else notice on Jake's blog that like Molly F2 Tenley did not like the "different" food at China Town? If you remember, Molly wanted only fast foods, and Jason talked about getting her to try other kinds of foods.
What I think about Vienna may surprise you, may have you saying, "No way," or may have you saying, "I never thought of that, but maybe...."
I have to set the stage a bit, so bear with me....
Ella? Remember the single Mom? Ella comes out of the limo in the same spot as many F4s. I am thinking that Ella was possibly meant to go into the final 4 and when Ali left move up somewhere, but Jason just simply did not SEE it with her.
He told Chris in an interview recently he just didn't see Ella as his wife.
Now, Vienna.......
Vienna and Ella had the same episode date - episode 3. This is the date that usually single parents and often the people who are going to be humiliatingly cut have. I am thinking that Vienna was cast to be the season's main DRAMA QUEEN like Robin or Marshana.
I am even thinking that when they heard her say that she was afraid of heights, they put her on that date hoping for great drama from her - she would freak out! Maybe even they could get her humiliately cut on the BRIDGE to NOWHERE.
The problem was that not only did she not freak out, but she got Jake through it, and Jake adhered to her.
Fast Forward.....I am thinking perhaps that since he didn't cut Vienna on that date, she was supposed to maybe go on the 2-1 and be cut as we have seen happen with Holly, but Jake didn't want it. Maybe he was supposed to cut her on that 4th RC when he struggled so badly over that last name.
Jake simply wanted Vienna.
I think Vienna was always intended by the producers to be the drama person for the season as opposed to one of the F4. When Ella was cut ( as Jake was cut), Vienna moved into the bottom slot which is why you heard her name called LAST so much. The producers decide the order, and they saw Vienna finally as F4, and F4s are generally called last most of the time.
I think some of this plays into RS's statement that Jake told Ali not to worry about Vienna ( implying she'd be gone) as well as sdl's source's remark that Jake said he would do something, but then he didn't.
We also hear from Jake that we won't understand some of his decisions.
DeAnna said her original intention was (and the producers always knew this) :Graham F1, Jeremy F2, Jesse F3, and Jason F4.
After Graham left, for some reason she scrambled the order up, or maybe she chose who she wanted for the final 1, and they chose what the other final places were going to be.
That would make sense especially if they had their eye on Jason as the single dad for the next Bachelor. They would make him F2 for the maximum exposure.
Back to the point here...How does Vienna get to F1? This is purely speculation...
Jake has said that Gia is gorgeous. Surely he has asked her about past relationships and what she does for a living. Maybe he decides that Gia is just out of his league? Therefore, he goes with what he is more comfortable.
