Bachelorette Australia - Season 3 - Sophie Monk - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

General discussion here

Coming over here because I'm sick of Matty and Laura

I really hope that this season is less obvious than Matty's and Georgias were. I want a love story, but I also want some real suspense. I never bought Matty as an F1, and didn't' mind it being obvious because I preferred Lee, and I never really thought Elise could be F1 either, although I kept trying to make ways for it to happen!

Sophie is pretty no nonsense though, and although I wasn't sold on her for Bette when she was first announced she's grown on me, and I'm hoping we're in for a good season. Bette's aren't controlled by a little Bette in the same way as the boys are, so we get a bit more rational decision making IMO

At least we can count on one thing: she won't be thinking with her p*nis.

Maybelline New York returns as the exclusive make up partner, and will create a New York-inspired date the new Bachelorette, Sophie Monk.

As vehicle partner, Mitsubishi will transport Monk and the bachelors on their dates, in both the ASX and Pajero models.

Dailies Total 1 contact lenses are also on board, with a television commercial produced by Network Ten’s commercial integration department.

Calling it now:  The "New York Date" will be Apollo in the vintage car IMO - Sophie was dressed like Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Makes sense that the guy rumoured to have been brought in to the show to add some pizzazz would get the most heavily sponsored date, IMO.  Also makes sense now why there was so much professional footage of their date, including video.

@Bobette sorry, but they are so young. It'll be an interesting show. I know age has no boundaries but 24-29?

Bachelorette can be very emotional as well, many times we saw how the US b'ette picked their F1 based on lust too. So IMO, Sophie may not have another head but it doesn't mean her choice must be rational or I should say, rational to us

You make a good point @peggy0221 and on a related note, Sophie said in an interview that she cried every day in the mansion so IMO her choice would have had a lot to do with who made her feel most safe/supported emotionally and could "cheer her up".

Not sure what thread to put this in but I think we should keep an eye out for Vomo Island in Fiji possibly being the FRC location. I know Kyle and Jacki O have both been there. It's secluded and picturesque enough for an FRC yet still big enough for the crew.

@ssin0547 nice catch! Will copy it over to the filming thread to sleuth with SCs when the Season Preview is out

Can someone please double check Oshers movements please. I've had a look at IG but can't on twitter. I looking to confirm MIA on 6/8 and 8/8. Thanks

ETA Osher was in Sydney on 8/8 still sleuthing 6/8
