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

Oh no! DM won't stop with the Grant and Ali story. Now they claimed they have the text messages between Ali and Grant.

EXCLUSIVE: 'I wasn't even functioning, babe!' Bombshell text messages surface hours before the Bachelorette premiere which appear to show Ali Oetjen desperately apologising for 'cheating' on her ex-boyfriend in LA

Grant's not silly - he's been holding onto those puppies until premiere night, to be sure!  

Ouch though

ETA:  "you did it... on a MONDAY".  

What a BURN.

Or DM having them and waited till the premiere to published them.

You will think they are not make up messages or Ali can sue for defamation!

Definitely not fake IMO - I can hear their voices through the font. All real IMO.

She should have just admitted it ages ago and no one would even care by now.

So Ali has been liking IG pics that are of Todd today. Todd had followed Ali on IG. TPTB put the heart emoji on the BetteAU pic they posted of Todd (all past F1s had that). Todd has heart emoji in his bio with bachelorette (so like that's where his heart is)! His friends have been super excited for him and supportive.

I don't know what to think! I've never seen a lead and F2 ("IF" that is what Todd ends up being) that friendly post-show. If he is F1 I can't even. I need to sleuth this thing out all the way.

Rob's captions are about true love and about Ali  (note that NWMAG liked Rob's post and only his of the top contenders and they posted about him on their IG saying "Ali's dreamboat Robert'

Taite's IG posts are (his IG stories upthread are a bit odd). He hasn't posted anything from first episode like Rob did.

Summary of things sleuthed so far Rob vs Taite:
- Per sleuthing looks like Rob gets Ep3 SD (most F1s do)
- Rob's M&G was shown and longer, Taite's was short and part of quick succession (usually not F1)
- DM had the article where they had will the winner be Taite or Rob and also both pics of both with who will be Mr Ali Oetjen so they never pushed for one or the other
- Sportsbet had Rob in winning spot for a bit (although max bet made it Taite still holding out to win over him)
- Rob has family and friends posting of him night one excited for him
- Taite's IG tagged of him and 'dazed and confused' and going out with the boys post-filming (if he isn't F1 then something to look back on)
- Taite has clear favorite for most betting sites 
- Tweet by G how a mechanical plumber won her season js
- Rob liked a comment on his IG about him better be the winner and then unliked it (NWmag liked his post, not Taites nor Todd's - although the editor Karina posted on her IG about Todd she loves him)

Need to sleuth it all more closely. Could be Taite F1 or Rob is F1. Will sleuth it all out  

TV Week basically sending out a spoiler that Charlie won't be the winner (we sleuthed that already) and sent packing around the final 4 mark 

Definitely the context of his intro with what Ali said about taking it slower (at least in the context of the storyboard) is what will happen. 

Makes me think that Taite is deliberately being hidden more so he can be the one who is seen as not the first one she would fall for typically (even though he's totally her type imo) 

 Charlie is (probably) not the winner

"What I've learned about love is to take it slower," Ali told the camera at the beginning of the cocktail party, before meeting any of the guys. "The old Ali would have fallen in love with the first person who got out of that car. This time around I'm going to treat giving my heart to someone as something that is so much more precious to give."

Enter Charlie. The first guy out of the car, Charlie makes an instant impression on our Bachelorette, and her voice over would have us believe she's about to fall in love.

However, all this 'prince Charming' editing seems too good to be true! Plus, the 'winner' isn't typically featured this heavily in the lead-up promos. We'll have to wait and see how Charlie fares this season, but our money is on the hunky builder to be sent home around the top four mark.

Rob definitely being seen as a potential suitor. He posted about sauce in his IG captions (see above) so matching the storyboard TV Week is using

All men should bring pasta sauce as a gift for their date

Robert turned up on the red carpet with a jar of his Nono's sauce in tow, and this is now the standard at which Australian women should hold all of their potential suitors.
No pasta sauce on a first date = no second date.This sauce is the key to Ali's heart.

TV Week stating that Todd "is the knight in shining amour that Australia deserves"!  And "our dream contestant"  Full steam ahead on the Todd train (choo choo!)

Todd is the knight in shining armour Australia deserves

Not only did Todd dress up as a knight in shining armour to impress Ali, but he also stuck it out in gloriously awkward fashion.

Watching Todd struggle to get in to the limo wearing his armour, and then watching him awkwardly wait in costume, has to be the highlight of the night. Not to mention, the hilarious squeaky sound he made with each step.

Bravo, Todd. Bravo!


Todd is our dream contestant.

Todd, Taite and Jules going through their suitcases showing what they brought with them.  Todd packed SO MANY clothes!    Taite says "mum bought me this" "mum packed that" etc etc.  Seems they're subtly revealing Taite from behind the scenes.
