bacheloretteau Tonight: Alex, Michael, Richie and Sasha take Sam home to meet their families.

I look at these pictures and clearly I find Richie the most attractive of the bunch. And then you add in their personalities and I am #TeamRichie all the way. He is the whole package for me but then I am not the one choosing. The woman that ends up being "the one" for this guy will be very lucky!!!

^agreed. He seems like a keeper

Posting this here b/c it was my thoughts on Richie for the past episode...

so at the GD when Sam says what her biggest fear is... that she will fall in love with someone who doesn't love her back... the camera keeps panning to Richie and he is nodding.

Poor guy!!! It's like when the camera panned to Richie after Sasha got the FIR and the guys were saying "hashtag devo".

The editing is already showing that Richie agrees with what Sam said and likely will be in her shoes: fallen in love with someone who doesn't love back.

And after that GD and camera panning to Richie about falling for someone who doesn't love one back at RC you hear Richie in VO saying he is falling for Sam.


Bring on the heartbreak

#TeamRichie no matter what!

I hope he is next lead!!

@ten_insider posted this of Richie. He has the most pics of all the guys on their account

@ten_insider

And Richie's HTD. I think he is F3 as predicted based on s/caps.

Sam's live-chat Q&A: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/entertainment/the-bachelorette-australia-chat-with-sam-frost/story-fni6umbp-1227570097301?utm_content=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=EditorialSF&utm_source=AdelaideAdvertiser&utm_medium=Twitter


Too funny that Richie's meal Sam says was the best and not the dessert (Sasha).
Sam seems to highlight Richie a lot (other than Sasha) he is the person she likes IG pics, comments about, tweets, watches her SD of him, etc, etc...

Interesting about Richie's time not shown and Sam saying "pash".
Perhaps she kissed him during that time so it would obviously not be shown since she had been on a date with Sasha.
Richie looked super happy too coming back in with Sam and she was sitting very close to him.

It seems that Richie's HTD was the hardest - certainly looks that way.
Good on Richie's family and friends to be so protective of him... perhaps they sensed that Sam wasn't as into Richie as Richie was into Sam? Because Richie looks besotted with Sam. In many ways he looks at Sam the way she looks at Sasha.

Sam also said, again, that her date with him was the best - still interesting that she didn't say the one with Sash but I get why.
It was probably the "light bulb moment" that Sam had to make her realize what she wanted (even if it wasn't Richie).
I can see why TPTB used the "Could love blossom" instead of "is love blossoming" with Richie.

Interesting that Sam felt bad about breaking hearts (likely Richie's, IMO, which the edit has been pointing to day one).
It's why I always felt she would let him go F3 and not take him to FRC.
It's also why I think, as a viewer, she is #TeamRichie and likes tweets that say this.

On Richie not winning and Sam saying Richie has a long queue of women waiting for him.
No surprise there - he has Ben H levels of "marriage material/I want to marry him" responses and all media is positive about him.
Even Sam's friends are cheering for Richie and team Richie as well as Heather despite Sasha being likely F1 (and def. is imo)

Sam really likes to rely on using Richie for her decoy.
I suspect she felt he took it hardest and so plugs him and cheers for him.
I hope she talked to him post-show too - won't be surprised if she did or she is using her SM etc to let him know she is on his Team even though she never picked him.

I think Richie has the gig in the bag! Sam is promoting him, 'cos he is the new lead. It's settled. Unless he falls madly in love in the meantime... We'll be here watching his "moves" next March/April

Somebody asked on that Q&A which was the best NZ experience she had - Sam answered white water rafting. Talk about spoilers!

And did you see that tweet by @realityrose on Twitter? Tweeted that Sam can have Sasha and Australia can have Richie for next bachelor and the official account tweeted back "Well played guys" and Dan and Maz faving tweets about Richie for Bachelor as well as Popsugar and Lisa tweeting about it and Fitzy and Wippa tweeting "Good call" about Richie being next bachelor...

The list goes on but the only similar reaction to a contestant I have ever seen at this level for next Bachelor lead was Ben H.
And Richie has the "marriage material" hype that is very rare to get with someone who is as interesting a guy as Richie is (Ben H is way more boring, imo).

I will be shocked if Richie is not next Bachelor.

Sam can have Sasha. We will take Richie. #Richie4Bachelor #BacheloretteAU

@BacheloretteAU 18h18 hours ago
@RealityRose_ Well played guys! #BacheloretteAU

Saying "well played" is saying "congratulations.

Done deal, imho.

So ...... the snow.
Wasn't the majority view that it was unlikely to have been in Australia?
If Sasha is F1 does that mean Richie's LCD is in the Australian alps and he is definitely F3?
Is that what you suggest AAL and others?

Well it now looks like the white water rafting activity of Michael's was in NZ. This makes sense for the Sydney aquarium screen cap. Not all final 3 activities are 'adventure' or have I missed something?
