I agree, I didn't feel like there were any meetings where I went OH yep she's the one! But then again, thinking back to last season the first episode was kind of the same so maybe the new production company prefers to focus on drama > love in the first episode as opposed to the entries of Snezana/Anna/Sasha! I did feel like as the episode went on that Laura as F1 was reiterated.

yeah I didn't get a feeling of "she's the one!" either. It felt like they spent more time on Matty's back story than they did the first episode and girls. While I do feel like Laura was reiterated it felt like it was still part of Matty's back story since the other girls were talking about how she is like Georgia.

Gah I really hope that's not going to be the theme this season... Matty and Georgia 2.0 and based on that? Hmm....

In fact, this whole season is feeling very very produced to me... from Laura's convenient storyboard on F7 GD to cameras and now even all girls making accounts public. There were no real conversations at CP either that stood out (maybe Lisa's?). Hmm...

There were not a lot of conversations shown, apart from Lisa's. I think we can expect the first half of the season to be bitc*ing, drama and villians on all the group dates and cocktail parties with a little bit of conversation on single dates, before we get into the real stuff in the back end of the season.

Sorry what does MOT stand for?

Agreed. On a local radio interview this morning I heard Matty say this season will have more drama than the other seasons. Is it just me that thinks the seasons better when there is more love and just a sprinkle of crazy rather than the other way around??

I was going to ask the same question

MOT = Matter of time

Means its just a matter of time before they leave

Here's the abbreviations page. I frequent it a lot

So based on the extended preview at the start of the show, my guess is Tara and Laura as the final 2 based on them being featured so heavily. The final VO saying 'I am in love with you' is Tara IMO. My guess is Laura for F1 after today's episode.

I would like to know, in the extended preview, who is dancing very closely with Matty in the dress and the voice over is the girl saying 'what makes you happy?' and Matty says 'you make me happy'. Any thoughts?

@SugarAndSpice Many thanks. I thought there would be an abbreviations list I just didn't know where to find it.

Screen caps up

Many will think I'm mad but I'm sticking with Laura F1 and Elise a very, very well hidden F2. I think she'll emerge later in the season and be the "slow burn" that has been referenced in interviews.

Tara and Laura had almost identical meet and greets in terms of editing so either could be F1 based on that but I think Tara is comedy relief/narrator/Australia's new sweetheart. It's still Laura F1 for me.

I agree, Laura as F1, Elise as the underdog/slow burn F2, Elora as F3 considering how many screencaps of her are in the promo and Tara as F4. I think Lisa will be the one to leave early.

This is interesting because it shows Laura in a very good light (non-drama) from TPTB pov sharing this on SM.
