Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

So no double elimination until right before hometowns then?? Interesting.

I am so bored with what appears to be a boring obvious edit that I am now praying for a miracle (only because I am bored and have not invested in who some folks believe is F1). I am also looking at the show as a whole and something has me thinking... was Jen particularly brutal towards Lisa in her recent interview? Was there bad blood between them or was she just nasty. That got me thinking, I wonder if Jen is the reason for Lisa's tears and further I wonder if Elise comes to her defence and hence the Elise and Jen altercation? See I'm bored

I just watched the last episode again (it was on TV in the middle of the day and I'm home sick in bed!)

I've just figured out why Laura's personality may be grating on people so much.

She is really being used as the "narrator" a lot- a lot of the pieces to camera explaining details of the days etc are documented by Laura. It comes off as very rehearsed and superficial. Of course this is just my opinion.

She almost has that "TV presenter" vibe which really doesn't go over well with Australian audiences. Everything seems so staged.

Matty is wanting to spend as much time as possible with the remaining six Bachelorettes before making the all-important decision of whose families he will visit.

IMO it sounds like that will be ep two girls go home, so he only takes F4 to HTD

Thanks so they changed things around, F6 mini dates for Matty instead of F5 mini dates for Sam W and Richie. I hope they show us the more meaningful relationships and don't spend as much time on the two he ends up eliminating as it's just 1 hour episode.

ok well that answers the question regarding if laura gets a second SD that episode. So IMO if laura doesn't get a 2nd SD then she can't be f1 right?? so whoever has that episode 11 SD Elise or laura (leaning towards elise) imo could be the f1 date?

IA @leapoffaith.

Y'all I am setting my alarm to read your wonderful commentaries as usual....hope it's a good episode and cheers to a fun night y'all danceround

Jen potentially walks out

Episode 11
SD for likely Elise or Laura?
?GD Possible high ropes?? - Just to put it out there, what if 'reeling' is some kind of pun for the high ropes GD?? Does 'reeling' work as lingo for high ropes??
Simone's elimination (to create the known F7).

Episode 12
Flo SD
F7 Boxing GD
?Cobie leaves

Episode 13
?Mini Dates (possibly could be the SC for Laura's kiss with Matty considering there is only 1 SC left for her)

?Flo Elimination

Episode 15

?Tara Elimination

Episode 16
Finale - Thailand. SC confirm Elise is there.

I am getting excited to finally see more of Elise and her dad in particular! What an awesome dad she has to not only vouch for his daughter but go to bat for her and basically say "look, my daughter is amazing and should have all the single dates and roses". So adorable and such a great father! Can't wait to watch

Papa Stacy looks adorable but it's a tad awkies having your Dad set up a date for you.

Last night that I have to live through the episode discussion. Back in Aus tomorrow to watch live. Let us know how it goes down with Elise.

I'm crying already

Jen narrates way too much!!

Awwww... it's so sweet how emotional they are to see their parents!

This is sweet
