Even the most hardened Collingwood supporter was rooting for the bulldogs to win....  

We will just have to wait and see.

Yeah agreed [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ... Despite the fact that i'm Swannies fan I was happy to lose to the dogs

Sorry about that. Im a Collingwood supporter, I have forgotten what winning looks like

HAHAHA at least you're not a bombers fan [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]! We broke a 72 year drought in 2005, so I get the dogs fans .

Hopefully Matty J is a bulldog then [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks for all the terrific responses.
My introduction to the show happened when I accidentally came across the first US Bachelorette show with Trista in 2003 or thereabouts. From memory it was on late at night and the fella I thought was nice went on to get the girl. But this is the only US season I ever saw and I only remember it vaguely. After watching the last 2 years of the Australian Bach/Bachette I am completely addicted. It is my one and only reality-trash TV indulgence and as much as the show itself, I love this forum. I am really interested to read comments about differences in the franchise across countries and cultures. While I love the daggy music, the pumped up formality of the RC's, Osher and the fake flowers, I don't love the fake drama. I know they are producing product on a budget but a bit of imaginative play with the depiction of the love story pays a premium dividend. I think I am on the cusp of going either way with the show, loving it more if the themes of first impression/slow burn and references to filmic romance are taken through to their final conclusion, or ditching it if these have been momentary diversions along a well worn path of unnecessary misdirection. Of course a bit of suspense is highly desirable, but not at the expense of a credible story. *edit*
All IMO
Hope I am carrying on for nothing.

Bulldogs analogy spot on

what has matty said not to her directly that he's said about GL? I remember reading somewhere a list of things Lee said curious what matty has said that she's hearing as if it would be new to her as she watches the show?
Matty seems to be heart on his sleeve and telling her the most intimate things about his feelings directly at the moment so curious what would surprise her watching it back and hearing him talk about her...

Considering Georgia has made a point to spend a lot of time with Matty within a continuous series of episodes is one reason I can make for him being F1. If she wanted to string someone along to make a credible F2, against Lee's F1, she could have chosen a number of guys. I can read this to be she's very interested in Matty and really liked what she saw or she was told to do so by producers. I raised the issue of the croquet date being a last minute planned date, after the trapeze date, as she was impressed by him and needed to quickly explore what could be.

BTW, I absolutely love it when Matty says, "Georgia, love" putting emphasis on her last name as an affectionate word instead of just being her name!

me too matty's adorable!!!

This is Matty's thread. Posts need to be on topic and any posts discussing other contestants and whether they are F1 belong in the F1-F6 thread and are off-topic. Posts will be moved to F1-F6 thread.

Very! So affectionately cheeky.
This is what I find most endearing.
His humour and teasing sets up the interaction as really personal and attentive, he's with G as G, not as the Bachelorette.
This also has the effect of increasing their intimacy really quickly.
G - on trapeze "Matty its all about trust and communication" M responding - "Whhat?"
"You have a way with words" - on G's literal name for her spicy beef dish
"We're getting married aren't we?" - guessing the date
"Now that's cocky" - G's croquet shot
"Your hair looks good by the way" - on G's hair all over the shop in the convertible
Deadpan "Why are you laughing? - G giggling about the lyrics to the song - preview for tonight

He's got a twinkle in his eye the whole time.
