Bachelor Australia - Season 10 - Felix - Jed - Thomas - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

So there is a new ad on Insta. I can’t hear properly but it sounds like Jed says the words ‘will you marry me’?  Granted it could be a grab of him talking to the camera but I’m curious. I’m also sitting in a cinema and can’t hear properly. Can someone please confirm

@Sundy Yes that's definitely Jed's voice.  

Whether or not he actually says it to Alesia though is anyone's guess.  They've been tricky with audio lines like that before.  Pointless question anyway since Alesia's already made it clear she doesn't want to be proposed to.

It all comes to an end...#TheBachelorsAU Grand Finale 7.30 Sunday on 10 or Live Stream on 10 Play pic.twitter.com/XIZlaauwtq

Yeah, it could be a frankenbite or it could be him saying it out of context and them using it as voiceover anyway.

Alesia made her (very reasonable) feelings clear...

That was good!!

afaik this is the first time James Weir has written about this season and he is not mucking around!

We’ve all dumped The Bachelor — now Ten has to

@Sundy the promo just before the ad break had him down on one knee saying 'Will you Marry me' to Alesia. He just let the other girl go (can't remember her name!!! we're back!

Suitably brutal  

If The Bachelor franchise was an old Amart sofa, then its owner, Channel 10, would be pushing it out to the gutter for council kerbside collection. The show is faded, worn-out and has accommodated too many asses.

[...]

After all, it’s a show about romance. And if you love someone, sometimes the best thing you can do is let them go. Maybe they’ll return. Or maybe they’ll hook-up with Channel 7, start wearing better outfits and become more popular.

We need more tabloids to tell it like it is. Especially this!

Ratings have been on a steady decline for years, with viewers growing tired of the stale format.

Just catching up on all the post-show interviews & articles.  Seems I wasn't too far off with this quip

Bobette wrote: [Jed says] he wants to be her man and for her to be his woman and he still wants to offer her the ring.  A nice gesture even if it is so they can pawn it post-show and split the profits.

Jed says producers would only allow him to give Alesia the ring as a gift if he attempted to propose first.

A-grade cringe from the panel hosts though.  The Project is dead in the water and needs to be axed IMO.

The clock is ticking on the usual rumoured 3-month contract.  Break up announcement on the 1st May?  

That's horrible. Geeez!

@GuardianAngel I added another interview.  I'm torn with these two.  I like them together and they both seem pretty up-front.  But knowing how desperate TPTB would have been to have at least ONE couple work out, my cynical side suspects they've been offered a sweetener to stick it out for 3 months.

Apparently Thomas and Felix are refusing to do interviews so again, producers would have been pretty much offering Jed & Alesia anything they want to present as a couple while doing the media rounds IMO.  Having the potential last season ever end with three failed relationships would not be a good look.

ETA: Another one

Noting that Jed denies being bisexual in this interview.

@Bobette Isn't it in their contracts that they have to do press? Or are they so broke that they can't even afford to properly threaten former cast?
