Ali Oetjen - Taite Radley - Bachelorette Australia - Season 4 - Discussion

Thought I might as well keep posting updates since at this rate it will be all over by the end of the week anyway.

Instagram Vs Reality: The Bachelorette's Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley look VERY strained during Queensland holiday after reports they are just faking their 'happy relationship' for social media

On their picture-perfect Instagram accounts, The Bachelorette's Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley make their romance look like pure bliss.

But away from their carefully curated social media feeds, photos have emerged showing the real picture.

While loved-up snaps taken during a 'romantic' Queensland holiday flood their Instagram posts, in candid photos from the same trip the couple appear much more strained.

According to Woman's Day on Monday, the couple are staying together purely 'for the sake of the franchise'.

An insider claimed that Ali, 32, and Taite, 28, feel obliged to stay together after this year's Bachelor, Nick Cummins, 'caused major embarrassment for Channel 10 by leaving empty-handed.'

Thanks for posting @Bobette. Taite is not looking at Ali in any of the photos. It’s as if he can’t bear to look st her (mind you in their loved-up kissing photos he is usually side on ready for a quick get away). In mt mind Tate is saying ‘Get me out of this nightmare’ !

I completely agree.  IMO he didn't want to get picked in the first place and has looked trapped/panicked in all the post-show pics.  Even in the official FRC pic his body language is defensive.  His body is turned away and his hand on her back is practically a fist!  

He wants out ASAP, IMO.

Such an obvious contrast to past couples.  I don't think they're fooling ANYONE.

Great job on the sleuthing this season. I went back to Taite's thread and some of you called it from day one! Now that's some awesome work!

It seem's a true love story is not the focus for the franchises but the sleuthing is always great! Thank you all who participated!

I will be moving some threads around. TIP choose "view new posts" on the top and bottom right hand of every page so you don't miss any posts in threads that have been archived.

@GuardianAngel welcome back! I sent a pm about some threads from this season that need to be moved or unarchived. Also for the new season threads for Bach and Bette AU. Thank you again   


@Bobette I noticed the same thing with Taite at FRC pic. He doesn't even have his fingers open around Ali's waist, they're closed  Closed off and turned away body language never a good sign imo especially as that's when they're supposed to be their happiest. His BL is like he doesn't even want to be there but they're making him stand there for the pic   jmo

@AllAboutLove Thanks! Let me know if there's anything I missed.

@GuardianAngel Yay! Thank you so much for the thread 

I can believe it    

I am sure TEN would give them some incentives to stay together until at least the filming of next season. 

No way after Nick's ending and Sophie's ending that the franchise didn't take a hit and would definitely have taken a larger hit imo if Ali didn't stay with Taite post-filming. 

I imagine that TPTB pushed Taite to be with Ali despite his obvious misgivings and hesitation since they already knew Nick had chosen no one. All about "optics" to make it look like it's believable imo.

More news about Taite flirting with scantily clad starstruck fans.

https://www.newidea.com.au/bachelorette-shock-ali-oetjen-photos-taite-flirting-girls

He’s been accused of faking his feelings for Bachelorette Ali Oetjen and now in exclusive photos obtained by New Idea, Taite Radley has been caught out!

Details of a “wild night" involving Taite have surfaced - with the bank manager said to have lapped up attention from a bevy of beautiful girls and “acted like a celebrity” at private party just weeks after telling Ali he loved her.

“He was being a total sleaze,” one onlooker tells New Idea.

“He was all over girls. A lot of people recognised him from the show but assumed he was single… after that night there was no way anyone thought Ali had chosen him.”

Flirting with scantily clad starstruck fans, Taite spent the evening posing for raunchy photos before asking them not to post on social media.

The invite only gathering took place in October while Ali and Taite were separated in order to keep the dramatic final, not then aired, from being spoiled.

Viewers were shocked when the unlucky-in-love blonde chose Taite and the pair have been seemingly inseparable since showing off their love on social media.

But our insiders claim it's all a ploy for fame and freebies.

“Taite is only sticking around to get his Instagram numbers up and enjoy the perks of paid posts and free holidays,” says a friend.

“As soon as that starts to dry up he will be gone.”

Least shocking news ever and ties into what I had posted and been told and other sleuthing of Taite flirting with women and seen as single post-filming 

Where there's smoke there's fire imo

Taite and Ali are the most fake couple from the Bachelor franchise I've ever seen. I think they even outrank Sophie and Stu because they weren't faking it for fame and $$$ the way desperate wannabe D-lister Taite is. Worst F1 ever, Ali!

How embarrassing.  

Taite already proved he can't spell on the show and isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and neither is Ali. 

As for them trying to brand themselves as a health/fitness couple, we literally called this before the show even aired @Bobette  (except we spelled it correctly, unlike Taite  )

Says it all about Ali and Taite when they have to try get talent agents to sign them compared to other couples where the talent agencies are the ones trying to recruit them.

Leaked email reveals The Bachelorette's Taite Radley and Ali Oetjen are searching for a talent agent ... but it's riddled with spelling errors

The leaked message, obtained by The Daily Telegraph, professes to be written by Taite. 

It reads in part: 'Being both into Heath (sic) and fitness, we're looking at getting some good management to help strengthen our brand.

'We are currently getting offers but are unsure how to handel (sic) them.'
