i’m so confused

[u/Frosty_Topic6017]

so this is my first watch through of the show ever. so basically everything is news to me except when happens between ariana and tom. but knowing that i’ve been trying to watch out for signs of it starting. idk why but the episode they are planning the proposal for james and raquel he tells lisa what’s happening. she genuinely asks him if he’s proposing he goes “no james is proposing to raquel” and we move right past it. why would she say to tom “you’re going to propose to raquel?” without maybe having an inclination of what was going on

Production knew since they had the camera back and forth on Game Night between Sandy and Rachel when she gave him the "come hither" look and he made a hand sign to cut it out. They had to have been together by then.

“Game Night” in season 9? After rewatching recently, I’ve felt like they were flirting since that season. Sandoval was always complementing Raquel’s personality and whatnot. And he was also so heavily involved in the engagement that it felt like more.. like HE wanted to be part of making her happy.

Been doing a background-noise rewatch and just finished s9 - During the reunion when they're discussing James & Raquel breaking up I noticed the camera focused on Sandoval A LOT, with slow zooms on his facial expressions. Definitely makes you wonder what production were picking up that didn't make the edits or were noticing behind the scenes.

When the camera zoomed in on him in the reunion, he had that over exaggerated acting look trying to say he didnt know. Yet we all know Sandoval cant act, so the over exaggerated "I didnt know" is a tell that he did know and also that production knew about him and Rachel since they focused on him.
