Bachelor Australia - Matt Agnew - Season 7 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

"This story is completely false," a spokesperson for Network Ten said. "Matt and Elly did not know each other prior to filming The Bachelor." wrote:

The Bachelor: We already know which ladies are joining Bachelor in Paradise

It looks like it's going to be an explosive season with this year's villain joining to series

An on-set source recently dished to New Idea that the network has begun poaching contestants from Matt Agnew's explosive season, revealing many of the ladies vying for his heart are eager to star in another Australian reality series.

So far this season's villain Nichole Wood, Renee Barrett, Rachael Arahill, Jessica Brody, Emma Roche and Helena Sauzier have all been approached for the spin-off, which will commence filming later this year.

Last season’s favourites Paddy Collier, Bill Goldsmith— who was recently snapped partying with this year's Bachie star Jessica— and Brittney Weldon have also reportedly already signed on the dotted line for the next season.

The 7 Most Problematic Group Dates In The History Of 'The Bachelor' Australia

...

1. The 'Rate Yourselves' group date from episode seven of Matt Agnew's season of The Bachelor Australia

Behold, possibly the worst, most problematic group date of them all. Utterly uncomfortable to watch, the date involved the contestants ranking themselves, and then each other, on a number of qualities Matt wants in a woman, including 'selfless', 'fun', 'honest' and 'passionate'.

The ladies who were deemed the top five most 'selfless' automatically received a rose, and were then tasked with the cutthroat act of voting out one of the two bottom women in each remaining category. It soon became clear that Abbie was gunning for the top of every category, which lead to all the other women eventually rallying around Briana to beat her, taking the show's constant trope of pitting women against women to a brand new level.

Sure, creating animosity between women is essentially the show's bread and butter, but the truth of the matter is they are already competing by the sheer virtue of being there. It does not need to be turned into a group bullying exercise to remind us of the fact that it is a competition. Sigh.

Sogand Mohtat's showdown with Abbie Chatfield at the cocktail party was the central focus of Wednesday's episode of The Bachelor.

But it appears their confrontation was not as it seemed, after fans noticed a glaring editing fail that casts doubt on how genuine their 'feud' really is.

Throughout Sogand's 'piece-to-camera' interviews - which producers use to bolster the storyline and increase drama - she bizarrely wore five outfits in seven minutes.

This suggests that many of Sogand's comments were actually filmed at various other points in the season, and taken out of context.

It's also possible that producers only decided to focus on the women's feud late in the editing process and so needed to trawl through Sogand's old interviews to find strong soundbites.

Interestingly, the static camera that was focused on Sogand and Abbie's confrontation at the cocktail party moved slightly between shots, which suggests there may have been re-takes.

In the blink of an eye, the framing of the camera went from a clean shot to being skewed slightly by an out-of-focus piece of foliage on the left side of the screen.
