Bachelorette Australia - Season 7 - Brooke Blurton - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@Bobette May I use that kurt image as profile picture, it is beautiful

Yes of course please be my guest, @Dumb; it deserves to be shown off  

ETA:  So for the next few dates I'm thinking

Holly
Konrad
Jamie Lee
Kurt
Snow Girl

Does that seem about right?  Carissa might get a SD too otherwise it's SQT IMO.  

Man bun kiss looks like either SQT or Mansion but maybe both intruders get SDs.

Going hard with the Darvid v Holly storyline.

The battle for Brooke's heart is heating up.

OMG I felt sick watching that preview. What are the producers thinking promoting it as a male v female competition. My mistake to think they made Brooke the lead to promote awareness about sexuality, diversity and culture. This is going to stimulate trolls and hate. Imo the production team are the reason Aus BN is tanking.

Yeah it's not good is it @Loulou, especially considering the male is going to come out on top and the female is going to get wrecked IMO.  

Seems to me they're trying to soften Darvid's edit by showing his vulnerabilities while portraying Holly as more dominant and assertive, but it could easily come across that Brooke led Holly (and Jamie Lee) on and was never seriously interested in picking a girl (which TBH, I don't think she was).

Brooke made the right choice as she's obviously more into Darvid IMO but I really don't think the ending is going to go down well at all.

@Bobette I agree . They could have edited this to show the love story whilst promoting the women and choice. The fact they are openly highlighting the men v women is wrong on so many levels. I just don’t understand their logic. Imo They chose Brooke to gain new viewers, be seen as culturally aware and responding to modern dating/romance. Imo In one ad they have lost that credibility. I hope they don’t continue this theme throughout the season otherwise They have willing set Brooke and her f1 up to be crucified.
From what I have read in sm many of the original/traditional viewers are not watching and now the new viewers who are expecting a woman F1 will never watch again. Didn’t I read that BN think Brookes season will save the Aus franchise?
Apologise for the rant but the producers/editors manipulation the last few season has been unbelievable.

@Loulou Agree 100... After watching the first episode and how they started going down that root with man v woman I felt sick....not good at all

I wonder if Holly is F2 if she will be the next bachelorette? Do we know if Holly is bi or not? Though going with man vs woman this format will not work again...TPTB have an opportunity here to show case love is love but imo they are going about it all wrong..so unfortunate

@LeapofFaith I get the impression Holly would be delighted with an all female cast, which would guarantee a F/F ending and none of this Boy v Girl bollocks.  However I can't see TPTB casting her as it would appeal to an even smaller niche audience and at the end of the day ratings = money.  I suspect they feel they've "ticked the diversity box" with this season and will go back to a straight, quasi-celebrity lead next year.

IMO the binary Boy v Girl approach is reflective of a larger failing with the AU franchise, which is that TPTB appear incapable of letting relationships form naturally and seem to think unless they "craft" characters and storylines, the show will be boring.  They don't realise that IMO people would rather watch genuine interactions between real, multi-faceted people than manufactured storylines featuring one-dimensional caricatures.

@Bobette Not just the Aussie franchise!

Yo Channel 10 - quit it with the Men vs Women framing!  

Brooke literally said in episode 1 it's "not about gender" for her so why are you turning this into a primetime Battle of the Sexes? I don't recall it being referred to as a "battle" any other season.

Grow up!!

Also hello this isn't even the same night - totally different hair/clothes and that's not Holly Brooke's talking to.  

Presumably this is actually a scene from Thursday when the intruders arrive. Yet ANOTHER continuity fail.

Watching bits. Holly date up first. Very sweet.

Anyone else watching?
