I don't think it is anything she has done, I just think she is too snobby maybe for the Australian public. We love to get behind the funny one, the one who is a little bit bogan, the underdogs. Someone like Laura just doesn't resonate with the majority of the public.

Yeah, we are a strange lot sometimes. I wonder if someone with Laura's edit would have been popular with the public in another countries Bachelor?

That's totally ridiculous, how can they release this before the show has aired? How is Tara allowed to say this stuff to the media before her outcome is revealed?

@everending I think it's a PR offensive to avoid the mass disappointment of Tara's shock elimination IMO.

I think you guys are right - there's just something about Australians that doesn't like "always had it" storyline.

We love a good underdog imo laugh out loud

I think it's Laura's "humour"' that people don't resonate with. I think she says things not realising how they actually sound to other people. I think I rolled my eyes so hard when she said her dog loves her so much. It's just a weird thing to say IMO.

Yeah Australian's like to root for the underdog. Though the voting on Tenplay for "Who Should Matty Choose?" is very different to the voting on the FB page "Who will win mattys heart?". Whether voters actually differentiate the two (I doubt it) Tenplay voting ranks them as 1. Tara 2.Laura 3.Elise. So it could even be a further break down of demographics who use FB vs demographic who is on the tenplay site

I am not Australian and I haven't warmed to Laura at all since sleuthing her back in March. It has very little to do with her edit which has been really good IMO and doesn't matter to me if Laura was F6, F10 or F1 I'd still feel the same. It's just different strokes for different folks.
