Bachelorette Australia - Season 4 - Ali Oetjen - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I'm finding it hard trying to muster any kind of enthusiasm for Ali's season.  We've always had such strong, confident, self-assured women as Leads in AU and when I look at Ali I just see a wide-eyed, naiive, idealistic schoolgirl.  She's going to need a lot of coaching to pull this off, IMO.  Of course I'll still watch and sleuth though (and hopefully the men might be decent?!?!) .

Oh dear she has limited comments on her ig I hope she will be ok I actually believe her when she says she wants to settle down just hope she doesn’t fall for another guy like grant....I’ll still watch her season just hope it’s not too much of a train wreck

Does anyone know what excuse Ali and Grant used for their break up? TIA! I'll watch her season, too.. She may surprise me and be a really good one. I remember when they announced Ashley as the US 'Ette a lot of people didn't think she would be a good one because of her drunken episodes on Brad's season and she wound up being one of the best we've had. IMO These shows are my guilty pleasure and I watch even if it is a hit and miss lead.

Happy for Ali. Remember her from Tim's season.

Phwoar, OK this is juicy - New Idea via Daily Mail are claiming Ali was the one to cause the breakup between herself & Grant because she hooked up with his friend.  They've apparently even got texts from her to Grant begging for forgiveness. Hmmm...

Oh and apparently this guy might be on the show (I don't remember him from Idol but from the interview it sounds like if he does appear it's just for another 15 mins of fame).  If this is the standard of men we're going to get, I have my reservations.

Not sure who to believe but this is not good for The Bachelorette.

ummm imo i totally believe Ali over Grant anyday.... apparently he wanted a threesome and that was the reason for the breakup. Grant asking for a 3some makes way more sense to me anyway also 100% he is jealous she is going to be bachette...what a douche - jmo

LOL, all of the Facebook comments I’ve read about this are people calling shenanigans on it, saying that they’re trying to make Ali interesting, calling her a potato and saying she wouldn’t be that saucy
Do you think they would ever recall a Bette though? Like Miss Universe being stripped of her crown, and the first runner up having to take over?

If Ali beat Grant at his own douche game good for her. She fell for Grant in the first place, that alone should be disqualifying. JMO.

Can she take any more photos staring down at her enhanced cleavage?

Either way, she is a no for me for the next Bette. I will be following along here to see the man candy, but I will not be wasting time on this one.

I don't know much about Ali O. (didn't watch Tim's season), but she strikes me as someone who's very insecure. I hope she's ready for this, because it doesn't seem like she's strong enough to handle producer manipulation (or public/SM scrutiny either for that matter). The fact that she's already limiting comments on IG is a bad sign, because it means that she's putting too much emphasis on what other people think of her. This girl needs to get a backbone fast, or otherwise she's going to have a miserable time.

I don't think so @Dirty Street Pie, but I wish they would!  

I'm not looking forward to watching her and I don't think it will be a good thing for her personally.  IMO she is not emotionally well equipped enough to deal with the backlash.  I've never seen such a negative response to the announcement of a Lead!  Nick Cummins got a mixed reaction but at least he's got humour working for him.  In the paparazzi pics coming out the girls are always laughing their heads off and I think his season will be very entertaining, even if he doesn't fit the stereotypical mould.  

Ali is just so.... boring.  I feel bad saying that but here's no other word IMO.  She's probably a nice enough person but she just doesn't have what it takes to carry a season IMO.  Despite her "positive affirmation" waffle on Instagram, I think she is actually very insecure (the amount of cosmetic surgery she's had says a lot, IMO).  I've read a few interviews and she seems unrealistic about what she's looking for in a relationship.  It sounds like she'll settle for nothing less than a fairytale, which doesn't bode well IMO.  

Regarding the break up with Grant, I think the truth is probably somewhere between the two versions of events.  What I find most interesting about the leaked group chat screenshots is who's involved in the conversation.  Nina seems to enjoy sticking her nose into everyone's business, and I don't think it's a coincidence that she was the ONLY contestant also involved in the leaked conversation between Luke and Lisa.  Seems to me like she's started up a little side business snitching on her fellow cast mates.

If Grant's involved, nothing surprises me.
