**Spoilers** F1, F2, F3, F4

Thanks Karey- good to be back for another TB season. BTW your post reminded me of another tidbit that I was given .

You mentioned the "cat and mouse game" from last season. I was tipped off about that as well. For those not familiar it was a series of outtakes at the end of TB shows that involved a cat (with Roberto) and a mouse (with Chris). When Roberto saw the cat he was with Ali. When Chris saw the cat he was not with Ali. This little nondescript cat and mouse game offered a clue to the final outcome.

I have been told that there will another "cat and mouse game" this season, although not necessarily involving those animals. So I will be watching the outtakes for clues. I hope you will too!

I welcome you back, as well! Correct me if I am wrong, but if clues are in the outakes, we won't see them until we know the results as those are only shown at the end.

The outakes are shown at the very end of each episode. Sometimes it's a contestant singing or the guys/girls doing goofy stuff at the pool. Last season at the end of an episode, Chris L and the guys at the house were chasing a mouse around.

I am wondering if there have been any rumors or thoughts about maybe Brad choosing Chantal but she rejecting him (we haven't had that scenario yet) or telling him let's wait and see. She could have him for T'giving - wanting to see where the relationship is going after all the fluff/glamor dies down. I am struck by how pensive Brad looks in the picture above - "Last Chance Saloon." If I were his chosen one I would not want him to be thinking so painfully about the decision. Of course this could all be for "drama, drama, drama." Has Brad said anywhere that he has chosen anyone? Her not accepting the ring - could be for his benefit too -maybe he just cannot committ in such a short time - but maybe he has fallen for her. She is understanding and maybe has similar thoughts - that this is too soon for an engagement. Given past successes for the show - we should be sypathetic.

He's told us that he found love. Check the media thread, it's definitely in there. Weird because they don't normally allow the lead to let us know this this early.

ETA: Post #96 in the Media thread should answer your question

They need everyone on board for this season. I think the best way to do that and to insure that everyone understands that the redemption of Brad (my idea of the media premise) was a success is to go ahead and establish that he found love from the beginning. The suspense will be in whether he proposes and whether she accepts or something along that line supposedly at least.

CH said something like this season is like the old fashioned TB. No dark secrets lurking round the corner, no relationship with producers or boyfriend/girlfriends at home etc. That the drama comes from the girls in the house with Brad being too unaware of everything except taking this search for love a bit too serious (overly). So if he says he is in love. He is in love. Hard to back track from that. But with Fleiss... everything is possible.

I kind of respect lithargic. You know we enjoy sleuthing, checking the screen caps, looking for clues etc and you do not want to take that away. On one hand the show gives us about an hour each week of entertainment (usually it is more horror than entertainment) but sleuthing gives us hours of enjoyment each week. You may know the answers but you do not wish to take away our pleasure. I would say it takes much strength of character to take care of us on the board this way. Of cos, when the bitching gets too much you ease it a bit. Thank you.

I am not sure what you mean here.

If someone does not want to be spoiled they do not come to the spoiler section of this board. When we come here it means we want our pleasure enhanced by spoilers!

Thank you, lithargic, for your much appreciated contributions. I say, keep the information coming and allow us to take care of ourselves by reading here or not.

Guys, please remember that there is a thread for discussing Editing and one for Reality Steve. This thread is for posting spoiler information for the current season only.

Here's my take for the ending. I think Chantal is a plant.
She has been set-up to be the F1 but is really only a good friend. (preplanned to work with the show)
She slaps Brad because it was planned. (If you watch it in slow motion, you see Brad flinch before receiving it- I did not think it came as a surprise
Then, Thanksgiving dinner... Brad probably was there as her "friend" but to create the illusion of F1 AND to provide the leak to convince RS that she is F1.
I think they are creating 2 stories this time.... The scripted one and the REAL one.

Just my 2 cents

Maybe but what a bummer this would be for everyone involved IMO. Seems like a ton of unnecessary work for poor Brad and quite a mind#$@& for the 'real' F1.
