The "you were second in line but the first one dropped out" is actually often used by managers (in the company I work for).
The idea behind it is to give you a sense of "luck" of getting there and not because "your" help was needed.

Does this make a difference ? No. If it's a job you like, go for it and forget that kind of second in line nonsense.

A friend of mine once told his boss : "Really? I hope you didn't throw away the references of the third one in line." And he upped and left.
(of course at that point he had several career options.. but I still admired him for that).
