Hello everyone! I've been lurking for the past week or two getting more of my Bachelor fix. Especially because it's too long between the shows and I can't get enough of it!
Despite the doubts that have been floating around, I still feel like the producers have been strongly hinting to us that Heather is the last one standing.

Heather (from 01:30 - 01:59): I feel like in this segment... in a typical romantic comedy that is the kind of music you put on for a defining moment in a romantic relationship... where you're telling the audience that this is it, these two are falling in love.
Snez (during the stolen kiss scene): Music has a grand flourish to it, a touch of drama.
Lana (when she first arrived): Music that speaks "a breath of fresh air". Easygoing, happy, relaxed music.
Sarah (during her second date): Music suggests that there are possibilities here and that this is a lovely gentle moment.
They all have romantic elements, and it's subjective, of course, but I think Heather's music was most touching and intimate and textbook "they're falling in love" music. Plus, aside from the music, the direction and the edit for those few minutes are the most moving so far that I've seen in the show.
Producers aside, I do also feel that he looks at her most tenderly. Sam has been quick to let go of girls who he doesn't see a romantic connection with, so I don't buy the friendzone theory. Plus she came back from a conversation with Sam at the cocktail party last week looking awfully happy, and then I hear Sam on a radio interview saying he doesn't downplay things on the show and the producers might edit stuff out if it gives away too much, so I'm thinking... hmmmmmmmm.
)makes me take their observations with a grain of salt.
is so lovely.
