I agree with all of your pics but Marcus...Let me tell you what me and a couple of people from the abc message boards have come up with...

~~~~~~You have everyone right from next weeks dates except Ryan R. is on the Rodeo date and Sean is on the ATV date..Ryan R. is the one walking next to Meredy in the walking shot.... we think the guy she is kissing on the blanket with the hay behind them is Ryan R. b/c his jacket matches the one of him in the hockey pic.
~~~~That first pic with Marcus is from the ATV date you can tell from the background, as for the different clothes we're guessing she had to change since they show clips of her all muddy.
~~~Brad makes it past this week b/c they show clips of him in 2 diff. colored suits at rose ceremonies. One of him talking to Sean and one of him by himself while she is handing out roses(this clip is only on tv not the spoiler pics website).
~~~ I agree with your other theories..
~~~~~But Rick is the one we see getting a rose instead of Marcus. Here's why: They show a clip of the guy's walking into her house for next week's rose ceremony. If you'll notice Rick has a white handkerchief in his pocket, then later on you see him interupting Meredy and Ryan R, and another clip this same night on a couch with his head in his hands. His suit is diff. plus no handkerchief, so that must be the night she goes from 10 to 6.
~~~Also a couple of more theories for ya. We think that Rick's arm could be the arm in the hockey pic, where you see the white shirt sleeve. We think this b/c later on there is a clip of Rick in a white shirt talking to the camera, also this could be the same night he and Sean exchange words over pool, b/c he is wearing a plain white shirt there as well.
~~~~We think that the couple walking down the beach is Matt and Meredy, and that is a fantasy date.
~~~We think the clips of her in the blue turtleneck sweater are with Lanny b/c the sideburns match and since they appear to be in the doorway over house that this one of the 2 final individual dates before the final rose ceremony. The reason why we know it's her house, is b/c the clip of the guy storming out and throwing something, the same door is behind him.
If you guys want any other theories we've come up with visit abc.com, click on the bachelorette and click on message boards, or let me know ok???? Happy clue finding....and are guys as addicted as we are????????????????? LOL

Thanks Nascargirl...Marcus was the only person I really had a toss up about, and it was between him and Rick, so you've got a sharp eye, because I totally missed the different suits that Rick is wearing.

Lanny makes it to the final four.

So is that for a fact that Lanny does make it to the final four. I kind of figured that from the spoiler pics. My predictions for the final four at this point are: Lanny, Chad, Ian, and Matthew. As for the final one...I don't know?

I don't want to say too much in a public forum; just note that I live about 50 miles away from Lanny's hometown. You can always email me.

How do you know he makes the final 4? You say you live nearby, however, he could be in alot of trouble if he spilled the beans... so how do you know for sure?

1st: I know all about confidentiality clauses in contracts. I've had to keep my mouth shut about my outcome on WWTBAM, which doesn't air until May. I taped in Nov. (yes, I'm tooting my own horn)

2nd: I really didn't want to post too much info on here...about myself or about what I know, but it seems that it isn't good enough to invite y'all to email me so I could do it in a more private manner. So here is what I know:

Two Saturdays ago (Jan. 16 I believe) I was at a high school UIL academic competition. I'm the HS journalism sponsor, and at these competitions each participating school's sponsor gets in a room and judges the journalism papers. One of the other sponsors happened to be from Lanny's hometown. (sidenote: I do not know Lanny; I have never met him) Another sponsor from my hometown, not schooltown, was bragging to all about how I was going to be on Millionaire. The sponsor spoke up about Lanny and his appearance on the Bachelorette. I was gushing about how adorable I thought he was, wished I could meet him, etc. She went on to tell about his family and other such details like what his job intells. Of course the Bachelorette has "Hollywood"-ized it. To make my long story shorter, a certain camera crew visited his hometown at a certain time. Smalltown Texans, gotta love'em! Out of all of this I do not know anything more than that. I don't know if he makes it past the final four; none of us know.

BTW I hear Lanny's brother is even hotter than he.

OT: Another "small world" incident dealing with the Bachelor. Being the yearbook adviser, I have yearbook companies coming by every now and then trying to get me to switch to them. Well a "higher-up" and a new rep. came by from a particular company. The secretary in my office was joking around with them about how they were talking to the "local" celebrity. The "higher-up" mentioned Bob and his family and about how he knew Bob's mom and sister really well, yada, yada, yada.

So uh, yeah that's what I know.

Lanny is my favorite. I hope your prediction is correct and I really hope she picks him at the end. I also like Chad and Matthew. I like those sexy cowboys, Good thing I live in Oklahoma.

>Lanny is my favorite.>

Ughhh....Lanny is one of the guys I was getting gay vibes from..... I hope she ditches him. I like Matthew and Chad.

>Ughhh....Lanny is one of the guys
>I was getting gay vibes
>from..... I hope she ditches
>him. I like Matthew
>and Chad.

Oh no, I did not think that about Lanny. I really like him, I think he is a cute cowboy!

I don't get all the Lanny-talk. Meredith loathes horses! She had a self-proclaimed panic attack when they arrived at the ranch this week. Maybe being a city girl and all, I don't understand Lanny's chosen profession. BUT, I do think that a horse breeder would significantly involve horses. The "horse" thing seems to be a deal breaker to me. While Lanny is cute and he appears to be harmless (unlike some of the others), I just can not fathom him making it too far. What do we know, though, right?

You have a point, I don't really think he is right for Meredith. BUT, I still think he is cute
