Bachelorette Australia - Season 7 - Brooke Blurton - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I'll give it to them - finally some actual diversity.  About time!

Ok so I found this woman and think her bio and being private is sus.

She is from Brisbane ??? Thoughts ?

@Loulou I would think she is an intruder, same with man bun guy, still putting Darvid as F1.

So it seems to me that TPTB are now leaking stuff direct to SD in exchange for publicity.  She knew Emily and Johan's first names before the cast list came out, but no IG handles or other details, implying she had cast photo IMO.  

She's also run several puff pieces this week which are absolute waffle, including one today which claims to be a breakdown of "all the guys and girls Brooke dated before Bachelorette" but is just pushing TPTB's narrative IMO.

She lists Badger (not real dating IMO) Alexnation (scripted showmance IMO) Alex Bordy (HE DATED CAROLINE - Brooke just clearly found him hot) G-Flip, who Brooke never dated (the article even admits that) and Jamie-Lee, who she also never dated, and had plenty of opportunity to do so if she was actually attracted to her.

The only real relationship on the list IMO is Nick Power, who dumped her (and I'm not convinced she's over it).  In fact I wonder if she did this show hoping to lure him back, considering it seemed to work the first time:  “I had already met him six years ago… " she said in 2019, "… it just took a reality show for him to notice me.”



So anyway yeah, SD has slumped even further in my eyes and her "spoilers" have TPTB's fingerprints all over them IMO.

ETA:  If Holly isn't F2 I'll be shocked.  Just look at the bookending here:

Shame the show will probably be dead before a season with her as Lead with and all-female cast might have been an option.  I cringe every time I see an excited girl on SM rooting for a F/F ending - there's going to be much disappointment IMO.  At least Holly will have no trouble getting a genuine IRL GF after this I'm sure.  

Also noting that Holly, Jamie-Lee and Kurt are all from NSW which would be mighty handy for hometowns I will concede that Konrad has far more SCs though.  I guess if he does make the final 4 they could have zoomed it in (pretty sure Vic had shut the border to NSW by then?).  Anyway, let's get this show on the road!

Guys, do you think Darvid might be F1 or...?

Lol Brooke trying to throw ppl off Darvid - let’s just call it the Brooke and Darvid show.. I can’t remember when TPTB show us so much of the F1 ?? Hopefully he dies down a little to let us viewers believe that others had a chance

Sportsbet has never been wrong with pre recorded shows

Bobette wrote:US editing/storyboarding is very different to the AU show though - aside from Carlin a first date has never won (and I still maintain he was a fake/default F1... but that's another story )

First date is usually either just an icebreaker to get things rolling (eg Sogand) or a deliberate photo op for the paps, to get publicity (eg Bella). It guarantees Top 7+ but nothing more IMO.

First dates:

Bach S1 Sarah (F7)
Bach S2 Jessica (F4)
Bach S3 Sarah (F3)
Bach S4 Nikki (F2)
Bach S5 Elora (F5)
Bach S6 Shannon (F7)
Bach S7 Sogand (F7)
Bach S8 Bella (F2)
Bach S9 Brooke (F2)

Bette S1 Dave (F5)
Bette S2 Jake (F3)
Bette S3 Jarrod (F2)
Bette S4 Charlie (F4)
Bette S5 Carlin (F1)
Bette S6 Harry (F12 - quit) & Shannon (F6)

Which means first dates have only been 1/16 or a paltry 6.3% of all Australian F1s and only 56% of first dates even managed to scrape into the Top 4.

I won't bother listing the double delight rose/bach pad key etc recipients because they're even more random.

F1 for the Australian series is traditionally far more likely to be the second (ep 3) or fourth (ep 5) dates. If Holly gets one of those I will be

F1 is also usually on all the early GDs, presumably because the Lead wants to see them as much as possible.

Oh look, So Dramatic has ~ coincidentally ~ just posted an article about the first date curse, and used that as a reason to claim that Darvid "might not win", demonstrating two things IMO:

1. They're still stealing information from us to write their articles; and

2. They're doing TPTB's bidding by trying to distract from the winner.

So Bette's trending on Twitter (a day late - go figure) and reading these tweets I'm thrilled for all the queer girls finally seeing themselves reflected on screen but also... yikes for the impending disappointment and backlash.  

to be real if my teenage self saw this on the tv it would have meant so much and changed so much and i am crying as a 25 year old woman watching it #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/zrcgfzBLgp

Willingly watching this show just for beautiful Brooke. Would've loved this kind of lgbtq+ rep on tv when I was little #BacheloretteAUpic.twitter.com/Wb3DrzATLb

Why queer rep matters - I had feelings for you but we were busy performing heteronormativity so we missed a chance to be happy #BacheloretteAU

Ahh yes representation for the “maybe she just sees me as a friend” lesbian experience #BacheloretteAU

jamie-lee getting the first kiss on the very first night and then going "idk if she feels the same way" is gay culture #bacheloretteau

And last but not least, my favourite of the bunch:  

the audacity of having the tradie be a man and not a butch lesbian, a crime #Bacheloretteau pic.twitter.com/NKyXtT73bE

ETA:  Also this wasn't overly selective by the way; 95% of the tweets were related to the girls.  And Konrad's bench got more tweets than Darvid.  

I can't help think there will be a lot of disappointed people once this is over.

Yikes! The lesbians are going to riot when she picks Darvid
