ETA: Also RE: your post in Matty's thread. Yes I will be joining in for Sophies season too :D Weekly graph update would be really cool. Its quite interesting as a gauge for how the public are seeing things. A colleague happened upon my stats spreadsheet when I was at work this week (busted!), they couldn't stop laughing... but then got super involved

That is hilarious!  I have the luxury of working from home so as long as my productivity stays high, no-one ever knows about my sleuthing.  People who work in an office get tea breaks - I give myself "Bachie Breaks" throughout the day.  

Great to hear you're on board with the stats!  I'm trying to gauge who I think F1 is before the premiere because once those odds come out, it's a bit of a giveaway IMO.  Love all the psychological gameplay involved in it though.  Bookmakers are crafty devils.

I noticed this year Ten seems to have scrapped the 'Love Leaderboard' for Matty and Sophie, so its hard to work out what the general audience are thinking, so betting will have to do! I wonder if the bookies look at this forum too...

Going through the early SDs she had (and more than usual those contestants being eliminated pre-HTD) it doesn't look promising and a lot of the guys seem like duds imo compared to last season

She sent shockwaves around Australia when it was announced she was set to be the first celebrity Bachelorette. And with filming of the reality show now underway, New Idea has obtained exclusive pictures of Sophie Monk’s first date. And boy, does it look awkward!

Despite pinning her hopes on finding The One on the reality dating show, it looks like the 37-year-old’s first solo match-up is a bit of a dud. Sitting under an arch of flowers with smartly dressed hunk Jarrod Woodgate, a sullen Sophie appears standoffish as her date tries his best to entertain her. At one point, she is even cajoled into loosening up – with a producer forcibly making the radio star uncross her arms, before handing her a glass of wine to lighten her up.

Earlier in the day, Sophie and her mystery man had attempted a rope-assisted climb to the top of a lighting tower overlooking Sydney’s Olympic Park. Yet, Sophie’s nerves got the better of her and she was seen panicking, before demanding to be taken down.

These images will do nothing to dispel the rumours that the latest season of the hit reality show is turning out to be something of a disaster.

Plagued by whispers of diva behaviour and outrageous on-set demands, Sophie is said to have Bachelorette head honchos seriously concerned about their decision to make her the star of the show.
Having dated several high-profile men – including Benji Madden, Sam Worthington and Jason Statham – since bursting onto the scene on Popstars in 1999, the star insists that she’s now after a ‘normal’ and ‘down-to-earth’ bloke.

However, fans have been quick to cast doubts over Sophie’s motivation for appearing on the reality show, with many believing it’s a shrewd attempt to boost herself further up the celebrity ladder. ‘She has been unlucky in love, very publicly,’ last season’s Bachelorette Georgia Love said in Sophie’s defence. ‘Why can’t she have the same go as everyone else?’

Let’s just hope the remaining hopefuls fare better than the first! NI
