Alright. It should be settled, right? Ship over. Done. (True enough; I am no longer shipping.) But, I am an analyst – we take notice of trends, boluses and patterns. Things still do not make sense. Its not about preserving a dream team I thought would make a great couple. Its about things I have seen over a long period of time that do add up OR DON’T.
I said from day one; I am a cathartic writer. Its why I journal. Feel free to just skip through, nod your head, disagree vehemently. I am saying; things do NOT add up where you land. STILL.
PATTERNS (not necessarily in consecutive or perfect order):
Tennis Match #1: Pre-married couple (post-Fife); little to no interaction. Cait mostly on her phone.
Met Gala: The pre-married couple; next to each other. Not interacting; one on his phone.
HW JodieFoster Star: The pre-married couple; next to each other; no interaction. (in fact, I made a new friendship this day as someone who was just leaving the “anti” side said there was as much chemistry there as her son and his goldfish to me in a DM). Eventually, a conversation between Jodie, Kristen S and Cait, someone ignored, until a quick dismissive “this is Tony." then, ignored again……….
Cannes: Purse and sunglass handoffs, no interaction. One picture of a "foursome:” Jack O'Connell, his best friend and publicist, Cait & Tony (her presumed assistant). He was spotted later, with other publicists and on the phone also. No one else brings their SO’s except Clooney. He is allowed.
BAFTA x3 now?: Little to know interaction. Our lovely blond there one time. Then, post-engagement, we got the Bro-Hug-In-Your-Face caught and filmed by the Big Boss (who happens to own what? 1/3 of Ireland these days).
GG x 2: Little to no interaction.
VF party: Sam and Cait: talking. Two escorts; ignored.
Tennis Match, what? #3, #4: Pre-married couple, little to absolutely no interaction.
T2: Well….we all know that! The man was left in the dust but made a great coat holder. Sam brought his platonic friend.
(All the while, indicating singleness in interviews, while simultaneously posting love poems and articles with pictures of Gena and Jon; Paul and Joanne).
Colbert: Tony left at the curb, with the working “team,” without a backwards glance; left to walk to hotel alone; bags in tow.
Kimmel: Cait walks literally 10 paces or more in front of wonderful, shy fiancé; almost as if he is only part of her team. (Strange, when BTS pictures of her with Sam, even in Daily Mail when someone had almost drowned nearby, her arm is looped around Sam, or she is hanging on him, multiple times throughout the year….)
Meanwhile: Scotch Talk and someone trying to hide, but not just quite, into Sam’s shoulder. Meanwhile, during S1 and S3 filming, we have Diana admitting Sam bit her toes and they were poking each other and giggling filming S3. Ok.
Meanwhile: we have a photo-shoot, one for the books with some pretty intimate moments. I remember a friend saying they were about to kiss and dang! The film stopped….Shippers were mocked. Until, the photo-shoot on the ship, for S3 ETW, they DID kiss. That’s some great method-acting for a photo-shoot! Especially, when you are in love with someone else…!
While I am at it: You shoot 14 hours a day, but you still have time to binge-watch, karaoke, try sushi and whisky places in UK and US (caught a couple of times in the early days in LA), horse-back ride on Saturdays, merge charities, get licenses at the same time; train for marathons at the same time; rehearse for roles together, go shopping on weekends, play tennis, hike, go to rugby games, picnics and dinners with other friends, go out for coffee at new place, buy the other’s old place, hang out with her cat who is known to bite other people), troll the fandom on your costar’s rug in the middle of the night (which eventually became your rug), sleep in her bed with her cat. But hey! That is ALL taken care of nicely yesterday and sealed with a bow! WE ARE FRIENDS. WE HANG OUT. They are totes free to roam about the ends of the earth now. No questions asked.
Meanwhile: GG #1: Sam caught with his arm around her. Video of show catches them in their bubble.
Dinner Party at the Moore’s: Sam laughing with woman (who Troll tried to say he was flirting) until it was discovered it was Cait across from him. Big smile on his face.
BAFTA #2: Intimate picture of grooming, pre-picture.
BAFTA #3 Unaware picture of the two, in their bubble, laughing.
GG Party (or was it Audi): Immediate post-engagement picture: Such a joke, to the extent people posted, “Caitriona, her fiancé and her boyfriend."
During the "single period” (not sure if that was pre-Brian the financier or post): Binge-watching, karaoke,
Engagement: #grateful tour (watch me as I literally have you follow me each step of the way). Picture “leaked” of a foursome; with a literal claw of Cait, unable to fully loop around to touch Tony’s neck. Why not do a re-do picture and make it a little more…intimate? (PATTERN: Sam, unable to fake intimacy with a blond ….). Supposed “fan” picture when its actually a staged picture of friend, again, HE is there. Dully noted, before the BIG news is dropped….six times, in fact.
#surprise! It was “such a surprise!" "I’m just glad he asked!” Except there was a convenient journalist there to catch it all. And, a big announcement in People. It easily could have been kept quiet. But it wasn’t! (Maybe she wanted it out there; so there would be no questions….); except, a story is being told. It IS. Its NOT Sam.
Oh, happy serendipity! A “journalist” yet again is at the right place and the right time to not just eavesdrop and get the “wedding planning” in full swing; but gets a picture. A STAGED picture. Again…why? That is up to you. You act coy; say it is “only for you,” but you literally tell the world WHERE to look for a future wedding……..
Sam, Always-Has-Eachothers’-Back Sam: Wonderfully catches a nice little moment on his IG story and decides to share it on IG. So kind of him to protect his costar’s privacy and her shy fiancé and blast a private moment to the world.
#Stellenbosch #Somerset See the similarities? Birthday rainbow followed by a timely rainbow picture with a blond (it took a little time to get the rainbow software “up,” but you get the drift). Two private people indicating who, what, where and when during their private time. Right! Got it!
We are being sold a story. The truth of the story is up to you. The whys of the story we don’t know. We are all guessing. I feel stupid if I believe a marriage didn’t take place; when all of the facts and signs point to one in my mind. I am unsettled when I try to land with she married someone else; case closed. I am afraid to mention the other obvious “elephant in the room,” because ….wait for it…beard #4, which is always entertaining but not really. I have, literally, two sets of data pointing to two different outcomes/solutions. The rest of the fandom just believes everything they are told; sold and that is how it is meant to work.
I have my own ideas of maybe why (man, remember Sam couldn’t even speak a coherent sentence S3 promo he was so exhausted, but still had to take his girl out every night….and look ridiculous in matching leather coats, still…an ability to fake it by that point). So, why? He doesn’t have to do that anymore, now, does he?
I regret the day I ever googled, “Is Sam Heughan single?" I regret the day I did that and all I saw were pictures of him with his costar. (Boy, they sure took care of that!).
