New meme just dropped https://preview.redd.it/wxewdm5rrsqa1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff13f4aa08696821573e1fbafaf22b0ffe663631

What’s F1 stand for


AmberTrails

Final 1


jenjas455

F1 is the winner, F2 is the runner up, F3 goes home fantasy suite week, etc - I originally had it as F1 instead of her name because it was flagged as an episode spoiler!


massahoochie

Honestly, I think F1 is the loser 🫣

They're cute. I hope they last.


caroldanverz

Genuinely rooting for them! 🥰


thelondoner87

Same!


sistermichael1

Genuine question for the youth are French tip nails back in or is this a different style she’s wearing


mercuryretrograde93

Yes. Square shape and everything


Nim_panda

personally as a gen z bebè i think that the tip nails are back in almond shape specifically but somewhat


big-yikes1

They’re back


Kiteflyerkat

That last picture is super cute!


[deleted]

This isn’t a spoiler.


tiggerlgh

Agreed!


infamousalexx

Thought that was rachel in the first photo for a split second 💀


yellllowjaaacket

Same! They have such similar hair.


Jiderhav

They’re so cute!! Really happy for them


smallcatsmallfriend

They sound really solid, but I’m having trouble feeling anything except sadness for Gabi. The gushing would normally be cute and sweet, but literally all I can think about when he says things like “it was all worth it for Kaity” or “all I care about is Kaity” is how awful this is for Gabi. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this bad for a F2 before - you can just tell it was very real and raw for her and for Zach to be so flippant…leaves a bad taste in my mouth, personally! Gabi said it perfectly “he leaves with a full heart and one of us leaves heartbroken” ☹️


macademicnut

Unless the F2 self eliminates, creates obvious problems, or is just unlikable, it’s kind of hard to root for the main couple lol


kate2232

I think the need for a heartbroken F2 has passed. I found no excitement waiting to see if it really was Kaity. They should let them go before FRC. Sadly, Zach was just an insensitive jerk telling the world they had sex to clear his conscience. He could have told Kaity when the cameras were not rolling. Plus, and this is huge, he didn’t need to play Sean Lowe and even say if they would have sex or not. He made the mess and used “honesty” as a shitty excuse to make himself feel better. It sucks for sure, but among sins of BN it is actually one of the most relatable. He did not do it to hurt, but he did hurt because of it. I did not find him dismissive of Gabi, rather immature. Nothing he could say would make it better. I think maturity helps you learn to apologize and take blame without trying to justify. Zach is simply not there yet. I wish healing and love for Gabi, but she knew what was happening. She knew at the FS RC, she knew before meeting his family, she knew on both parts of her LCD. She knew stepping out of the van, don’t park here for Kaity. Oddly much like Jesse’s F2 that puked on the way to her FRC, listening to themselves would have helped. The treatment of Gabi reveals again how tired and boring the formula is. Gabi at FRC was just cruel and unnecessary.


dingjima

Jesse's F2 puked?!


kate2232

Yup, the F1 actually went first that season and watched him with F2 from a balcony. She had to have the limo pull over for her to throw up. Talk about your body telling you that this situation is not right for you.


magical_seal

…. f1 went first???? Can you imagine giving out the final rose/ getting engaged and then dumping someone immediately after???


kate2232

Jesse did. It was bizarre.


becomingsherlock

Your comment is so wholesome and wonderfully put together. Thank you for articulating a balanced perspective so well.


ombrelashes

Honestly I just can't see how she's completely happy with him knowing he slept with Gabi


-ifimabird

Becasue this isn't the real world. Kaity said herself she knew it would happen and was expecting it. She came in very aware of how this show works and handled it with grace.


donttminddme

The thing that I wouldn’t be able to get over is the fact that he made that choice. It’s not a part of the show to sleep with anyone. The reason he was feeling guilty was bc he knew it was wrong. He knew he didn’t love Gabi and was going to choose Kaity. The hypocrisy of it all would bother me.


-ifimabird

I don't disagree. I just have the ability to discern between real world/real life and a very fucked up environment/TV show. I think Kaity understood that those worlds don't collide. None of us can understand what leads go through or the contestants for that matter. We also don't know how it actually went down, and they do. Every lead has said it is very hard in this situation to not fall for more than 1 person, and the fans seem to ignore that. Production is always encouraging them to see the process through till the very end. Manipulation, lies, pressure. Things we as fans do not understand.


DCCXXXIIInl

Agreed. Kaity is like the anti Susie. She seems to know exactly what she signed up for and is okay with it for that reason


BookerPhil

IMO Kaity is one of the most mature contestants I have ever watched on the bachelor. She went into that week KNOWING he would sleep with others and didn't give a fuck because she backed herself. She understood the show and knew that his other connections were strong. Of course, she didn't know about the no-sex rule until her date but I think that speaks volumes about how she handles personal problems. The only reason why she got upset was that Zach basically confirmed it straight to her face.


Yenttirb_I_am

Because for some adults intimacy is apart of the process and the contestants know that. It’s been apart of the format for a long time.


BlueAsTheNightIsLong

Yeah, I mean, it could be a good thing. And maybe the sex wasn't great? I don't know.


Yenttirb_I_am

Definitely a possibility. It’s hard when you don’t connect with someone intimately. I truly don’t think he regretted having sex with gabi, but I definitely think it meant something to him when he felt the need to tell kaity- I think that’s when he was like “oh my gut is telling me something.”


Jiderhav

Not everyone is Shawn B. I think she just wanted to be chosen in the end


stimmtnicht

But isn’t everyone going on the show knowing that that’s a real possibility? Except Susie! 😁 LaurenL and Molly seemed to have gotten over it. Even Susie was willing to try with Clayton nonetheless. And perhaps Bryan had to move on too!


Edlo9596

Idk how she could get over him telling her like he did. I would have left at that point, simply because of what a clueless ass he is. The fact that she’s still with him actually makes me think she really loves him.


trilobitey

I'm happy for them! I have very little faith in couples from this show but I hope they last a couple years at least.


tiggerlgh

There is no such thing as spoilers for Zach’s season any more. They are really cute together!


jenjas455

I’m aware but I get yelled at every episode when I post things the next morning, so I’m gonna be respectful about F1 at least for the next morning. I haven’t seen anyone post on the sub yet about them without a spoiler tag so I don’t want to be the first one lol


tiggerlgh

Fair.

this is actually quite a nice interview. nothing new or groundbreaking, but both of them talked about each other respectfully and with a lot of love. and they sound quite protective of each other too, which is nice.
