ATFR - Operation Redemption?!?! & 5/22 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[KareyR2]

Even though I did warm up to Bevin in the last few episodes, I really don't want to go through a Bachelorette with her. Nothing personal.

I wonder why they never did make anything of the dogtags. That's driving me crazy. Also, on the picture Tessa gave Andy, what was "The Encounter" about? I don't remember that at all, and I watched the episodes numerous times. Also...I had to watch this morning, so couldn't follow along online. When did you all figure out it was going to be Tessa, because after the last date with Bevin, I thought the hammock was coming down.

Hi Di24
I wondered what "the encounter" was about as well. I thought it must be something I had just missed in their conversations. Now, with you asking, I realize it seems to be something else we were never privy to. Anyone out there know what that was in reference to. Thanks

I think they ran out of time with the dog tags. I hope we hear about them tonight at the ATFR show. He clearly presented her with a final set, so they held meaning.

The ATFR show should be interesting. It wouldn't surprise me if Bevin doesn't show. It also wouldn't surprise me if Tessa is a tad unhappy.

I would think that Bevin would show, she's had how many weeks to pull it together to put a good face on it. Likewise, four visits and lots of grovelling with Tessa might have made a big difference. Time will tell, I for one have no expectations for these people in the future whatsoever. They're on their own now, lol.

While I would understand her not being there, SHE WILL be there. Danielle will also be there. They said so yesterday both with the people who were there who dished the spoilers and in the preview that they told us at end of finale last night.

I don't know, but there are several things it could be. Some on this board seem to think it's a corny reference to them meeting, but I googled it and came up with:
1) a restaurant & bar at LAX
2) a poem by Ezra Pound
3) an episode of The Twilight Zone
4) a new Russian extreme game
5) a reference to Voyager I and Saturn

I'm sure there are many many more possibilities. Whatever it is, it meant something to them that they discussed at some point and we weren't shown that!

I cancelled my season pass for AI as soon as Melinda left. Who cares now? Between that and Yaoman not winning Survivor, and Charla loosing AR it's been a rough reality year for me. Tessa's gonna save me from total defeat.

yes, i don't care about AI now either since Melinda left. How could she NOT be in the finals? Besides reality tv, i was quite disappointed with final episodes in Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. What the heck were the producers and writers thinking,--- :Let's see how depressing we can make things?

I think if Bevin were the Bachelorette I would for sure watch it. I'm in the hammock with Tess but I would love to see Bevin in a more natural way with a much better edit!!

Hmmmmm. The television could not take 25X that much electricity.
Not a good idea.

but if bevin were the bachelorette maybe she could finally choose a guy based on what she wants and knows she needs rather than just wanting him because he's there and other girls are vying for his attention. might not be such a bad idea for her...

but it doesn't matter anyway because the bachelorette is probably gone for good. thanks, jen.

In case anyone else was wondering what Tessa's lei was draped over and visible in her PIs at the end of last weeks show (5/14), it was the collage she made for Andy.
