In all the seasons that I have been noticing, NONE of the first HTD's go to the F1.

That doesn't mean it won't happen this season.

In all the seasons that I have been noticing, dating back to Jason's season 13, NONE of the first HTD's go to the F1.

I could be remembering wrong, but wasn't Roberto's hometown first for Ali?

From a body language standpoint, he is completely different with her than anybody else. Yes I do understand that the editors can hide a connection with plenty of lop and chop too... and that is where I can sometimes... weakly... try to build a case for the other ladies. Every season we debate if F1 is a "default" choice or if it was "love at first sight" simply because the Bachelor/ette is often very good with the BS in their PI sessions and faking some of the body language. Yet I don't think Juan is capable of faking anything... and this leads me to believe the lightning bolt hit the moment she arrived "knocked up" out of the limo.

What about the edit that's telling you it's Clare?

What I noticed with Clare is he give pecking kisses or pressing lips kisses. He gives Nikki real kisses, passionate ones. He stares at her lips, cause he's dying to kiss her and he ain't leaving her without one. you're right  he's not good at faking cause I see that he is not into Clare.
The 2 most determing things that say it's Nikki are the fact he was sorry he went into the ocean with Clare (nothing behind that but another woman). 2. He hasn't whispered in any other woman ear but Nikki, why because he's saying something that he only want her to know. he's trying to let her know it's her. If he don't choose her something went wrong.

I'm not debating who is F1 vs. F2, but regarding the bolded...I most certainly have seen him whispering to women other than Nikki. He does it all the time when I believe he is trying to tell them something so that audio can't pick it up.
