What are the numbers corresponding to? Do you use their Alphabetical order or something else, I can’t make it make sense? Thanks! Even by looking at their feet I can’t come up with 19 but 17 or 18 ...HELP?

She matched the guys in the first s/cap to those of the group pic.

@Astrobach Yes my top 4 are Logan for F1, Johnothan F2, Aaron F3 and Kurt F4

@GuardianAngel
Thanks GA, I can see that... I wanted to have a list with numbers AND their names... not just on pic to another. I’m still trying to identify them and learn their names.

@Astrobach As @GuardianAngel says, I was just trying to work out who was missing from the SC.  The guys are all tagged on the cast photo I posted here and their names are written below their pictures in the WD article here but if you want a list then here you go:

I think that's when they told them they are going to Argentina as they seemed to be there quite early in the filming schedule. Perhaps eliminating two at first RC, then another 2 elimination episodes, then Argentina.
I count 18, but who is the guy at the back, dark skinned number 16? Good spotting on the rose on Logan, and yes I think Elliott and Flynn out early.
Also I wonder if we will have intruders, since only 22 contestants and applications said for 25?

I think there must be 19 because if you look at the feet IMO there are three people hidden between numbers 5 and 16.  I wondered if it was them finding out they were going to Argentina too, but I very much doubt they'd take the spy overseas.  

They had a spy in the last AU season and he was revealed on night 1, before the first CP, so I could see them doing it just before the second RC; otherwise the Lead will too much insider info IMO and won't have the opportunity for her to use her intuition.

IMO there os one guy obscured in the back row, and two in the middle row.  Otherwise there would be a massive gap which doesn't make sense because look how neatly the rest of them are lined up.

Can't see what the guy in the back row is wearing but the guy in the middle row between 6 and 16 (probably Flynn IMO) is wearing a blue suit, and the guy next to him (under 9's chin) is wearing black.

Here's the video again:

@Bobette You beat me to it! I was just in the process of doing that same thing.
In the meantime' Ive looked at some Astro and added Logan as a contender, although, not convinced of possible F1 just yet.
JMO

@Astrobach From the rose, IMO Logan gets the first date; that alone is enough to rule him out for me.  I'm thinking he's F4.

@Bobette yes, I could see that.

There are comments on the post praising the show for depicting her real life, so I presume it was shot at her real job and home.

How much more time before the show is on for you guys? I’m eager to find out more!

Only about 3.5 - 4 hours before it premieres in NZ.  I'm in AU so will be watching via the Archive like you.

If any of our NZ members feel like blogging the episode or posting their thoughts after that would be great.

OK here we go.  SCs from the long season promo at the start of episode 1, in order.  Dumping them all at once at this stage because there's SO MUCH to unpack; can divide into guys/themes later.  I'll let y'all get stuck in while I go back and watch the rest of the ep.

The RC shot where they all look excited and I assume being told they are going to Argentina, is missing Brendan, Dominic and I think someone else?
Also I can only see one guy, Steve(?) with a rose? Perhaps no elimination that week?
