I say this because just last week, the story was that she just wasn't sure about Juan Pablo and didn't know if they were a good match-- didn't really even know if she wanted to give him a shot. Monday night, she couldn't kiss him enough and just wanted to be all wrapped up with him. She sure enjoyed giving the other girls something to watch down on the field even though I thought Juan Pablo was uncomfortable with it; anyone else notice that he was the one that pulled away? I didn't find it realistic so, I'm not buying it as real.

He actually leaned in and kissed her, initiating the kiss the way he did with Andi. The only difference is that he pulled away quickly (probably because the girls were watching), but Sharleen went in for another kiss. I think JP is a lot less dull-brained than some of us take him for, because he does seem to play a bit of a game with the girls, getting them to fall for him before sort of cooling off towards them. It drives the girls insane, and I think it really gets to Sharleen, more than the others.

I rewatched the 1:1 time with Nikki, Andi & Sharleen (after soccer GD). JP did lean in to kiss Sharleen and told her quietly he wanted to kiss her. Her body language was showing she was stiff & surprised. She then asked for a redo, which got awkward all the way around.

There's a PI of Sharleen at the very end of the pool party segment where she's saying that she's bothered that she cares (my paraphrase). Her hair is down and she's in a top/dress with black spaghetti straps. The background is one that we haven't see with her before and it would be good to try to ID it.

Hope someone can SC this PI and bring it over. Maybe it's from Miami, but not sure. It's clearly not from the pool party or that evening, but that's when it aired.

Was this bridge the same bridge that Jake and Vienna jumped off of?!?! It looked a little bit familiar. IF SO, it does not bode well for Chelsea!   Just like with Cassandra, I didn't really see much connection; MOT, IMO.

*chuckle chuckle*... at least Vienna wound up as Jake's F1... temporarily. I too immediately thought of her 3rd episode date with Jake with that bridge. Jason and Molly might have also done that, but in New Zealand I think. What went through my head was: Is Chelsie going to be a firecracker later like Vienna?

I do think Juan really likes Chelsie. The major "red flag" is that she is so frisky and energetic, while he looked tired. (Then again, he looked tired with everybody this episode.) Maybe the "opposites attract" vibe will work very well with them, but I suspect Chelsie may need a partner who is more intellectually stimulating than Juan. She is very high on my list of candidates I would want as a Bachelorette simply because the guys competing would be required to say more than just the usual "I think we have a connection" and "I wish I was driving that car" on screen. Already she got the "wife material" logo that many future leads get. (Haven't re-watched the date to see if he also included "for me" with that line, as Des kept saying with Chris. If he didn't, it would mean she isn't this season's Chris.)
