Jayblossom

Flo is a bloody champion. I don’t know if she’s for Matty but she is great fun to watch.
I believe Laura is handling it all but Cobie is so jealous and really not psychologically up to this show.

Littlepetal

Yes, JB. I am in love with Flo. She is funny and honest and she is so pretty….. Beautiful eyes!

Jayblossom

And she didn’t have to manipulate a sympathy kiss, he wanted to go there.

Jayblossom

I hope Mattie sends both double daters home.

Littlepetal

Matty can just say: I have changed my mine. Both of you can go home!

Erin

I think Georgia sent both home in her season.

Windsong

I was so hoping that history would repeat itself.

Windsong

Oh Matty. Everybody knows that you throw a girl off the edge of a building on the *second* date, not the first.

Meanwhile, Jen and Liz on a date together? Can it be a gladiator fight? No? Awww.

Erin

The look on the girls faces when Jen came back by herself, were hilarious!
Liz dug her own grave basically saying she didn’t want a family to a guy that is so clucky he almost has ovaries! Although I kinda got the feeling she maybe didn’t really like him anyways.

Littlepetal

I think Liz is just being honest even knowing saying those things will mean she could be sent home

Jayblossom

Jen watched last year and knew bringing up the nephew would clinch it. She’s like Alex from last year she’ll do anything to win but there’s no way she will or they wouldn’t have portrayed her in such a negative light.

Windsong

I kinda think he’s still hesitant about her, though. I mean, wouldn’t you be?

Erin

Until last year I would have agreed with you JB but this year not so sure.

Jayblossom

Surely not. They showed Alex as manipulative but never as “the villain”.

Erin

That’s true

Jayblossom

Well Sian just leave then you big baby!

Jayblossom

Who’s the random woman in the bathroom?

Windsong

I still don’t know who half the contestants are. There’s a blonde woman in a light-coloured dress there at the cocktail party, and I swear, I’ve never seen her before in my life.

Erin

A producer.
Very much like ‘UnReal’ to show based on ‘The Bachelor’ set

Jayblossom

The sister would never okay a girl with a big ugly tattoo on her back.

Windsong

Okay, Sian, what the hell was that all about? I DON’T LIKE HIM I DON’T LIKE HIM I DON’T LIKE HIM oh it’s not about you Matty.

Jayblossom

Let me womansplain for you WIndsong: “I don’t like HIM NOT NOTiCING ME. Why won’t he pick me?” is what she’s really saying, so she thinks I’ll just throw a fit and hope to extend my stay because I know it’s me going.

Littlepetal

Well said JB. Didnt she slso said something about she is amazing and have all the qualities.

Littlepetal

Sian is another drama queen. She knew the process in The Bachelor. Matty only has limited time to spend with each girl. And if he is keen on someone he also want more time with that person to see whether there are both on the same page

Erin

I noticed it wasn’t like he told her how much he wanted her to stay either!
If he really liked her that would have come out of his mouth immediately. Not to mention the fact that it would appear they have basically had no time together.

Littlepetal

After all the chat I think Matty want to send Sian home. Very cruel and he cant do it.

Windsong

… are you kidding me, it’s to be continued? Oh screw you channel 10.

Littlepetal

Yes. I thought we were going into the ad. I wasnt concentrating. Ch 10 again have no respect for their viewers.

Erin

TO BE CONTINUED?!
NO WAY!

Jayblossom

Damn you “to be continued”

Littlepetal

I think Matty has been told who to send home and it will be Sian. He couldnt do it.

Jayblossom

Yes I think he wanted to but also didn’t want to be cruel after she chucked a wobbly. But it is crystal clear he’s not that into her so it’s actually crueller to keep her.

Daisy

For sure, Littlepetal. Sian wants to be a tough girl. Hmmm.

Daisy

This scenario has happened before, in US versions. The girl gets wounded because she feels the possibility of rejection so wants to “drop him before he drops her” but then thinks maybe she has a chance so decides to stay. We don’t need to be Dr Ruth to know that Matty saying, “it’s up to you” is a clear sign of indifference. At least Sian got a kiss tonight: the kiss of death you get for being needy and emotional.
I agree with everyone who wanted Jen to go. She’s too insincere. She’s just a filler. You can tell Matt doesn’t like her.
When I try and think who stands out, for me it’s kind of coming up Lara and Lisa, because I like their manner. Flo has great eyes but I find Lara has grace, and Lisa was natural.
As for Matty, he is so nice looking. Too bad about his lack of punctuality. That’s a deal breaker.
Oh…and do the girls really pull those ugly disdainful faces while waiting for a rose?

Erin

Agree Daisy, if he really liked her, he would have made more of an effort to chat to her by now and would have really encouraged her to stay. Should of got rid of her right there and then.
Def wanted Jen gone but I can see why he sent Liz home, i don’t think Jen will be far behind anyways. Even her glee when Liz had left rather than her, seemed more like she was happy that she won the battle rather than happy to have more time with Matty.
Laura and Lisa are front runners for me. Flo reminds me of Olena from last season.
Lol – The ugly disdainful faces are because apparently the rose ceremony alone can take hours, and it can be 10+ minutes between each rose being given out – thats how they get the ugly faces – when the girls think the cameras aren’t watching!

Daisy

Interesting, Erin.
Yes, Flo reminds me a bit of Olena too.
I also thought Jen’s chat to Matt seemed like a prepared spiel for a job interview, rather than a natural expression. Beats me. I would have no trouble saying, “Matty you are gorgeous and I will die if you don’t marry me. I will have as many babies as you like, whenever you want tem (too much?). But don’t forget, I have dropped him for being habitually late.

Littlepetal

Flo is more fun to watch than Olena.

Jayblossom

Yes that’s what I was thinking LP. Flo is bluntly honest like Olena but she has a cheeky sense of fun that Olena didn’t have and that makes Flo fun to watch.

Daisy

She has a personality, but I can see What Erin means. There is a certain…. call it strength…but it’s like a calculating hardness. Not as much as Olena but it’s there. It could be a good thing. Neither are silly billies.

Jayblossom

Yes Jen is definitely about winning and getting air time and Matty is just a means to that. I suspect Sian realised that lack of Matty time also meant lack of air-time and hence the hissy fit which put her centre stage.

Daisy

Damn good point JB.

brain dead dave

The promos have Matty claiming he’s “not a puppet that will be told what to do.”~ in regard to the “to be continued’.

I agree Matty’s not a puppet~ he’s more of a Ken doll.

Daisy

If Sian had just gone through the process and got dumped with grace, she could have left with more dignity than, “I don’t like him anyway”, “It’s not you, it’s the process”. Tough tatt girl thought she would have had more of a look in than she got.

brain dead dave

Yeah. Ch 10 really helped with the creepy horror muzak throughout the $ian tantrum.

Pandy

I was so mad when it came up saying To Be Continued. Good way to annoy the viewers!
Sian should just go, he’s not interested in her, and why wasn’t the secret garden with Laura shown? They could have said anything in private such as “Don’t worry Laura, you are the one for me” for all we know. Then she came out with a rose which we didn’t see him give her.
The American Bachelorette has just finished so I can concentrate more on this one now.

Daisy

Why was it necessary for him to give Laura a rose right before the rose ceremony?

Littlepetal

Maybe they did have an intimate conversation or not so intimate conversation and Matty doesnt want her to stress out with the Rose ceremony

Windsong

So the end result of Sian angsting about being there ends when Sian leaves.

Really, channel 10? Really?

Jayblossom

Talk about an anti-climax. Very poor strategy Ch10.

brain dead dave

“Destiny” only happens on The Bold And The Beautiful, Sian.

Windsong

OTOH, I adore Tara. I want her to stick around purely for entertainment value.

Littlepetal

Agree, Wingsong. At least now we are seeing some fun girls. Tara is not acting and just natural with Matty. NOT like Jen or Leah.

Daisy

Me too. I have enjoyed her all along, but I was predicting narrators never win. Matt was last year’s narrator.
But seeing Tara on the one on one, she is gorgeous. Not the prettiest but the combo of personality and looks: she’s lovely.

Jayblossom

Budget cuts? I notice they’re all meeting him at the date, no fancy cars for him to drive.

brain dead dave

Plus Bachie has to show up on The Living Room tomorrow night.

Littlepetal

Ratings not so great. So need Matty to promote the show

Bolders

I found Tara painful to watch and listen to – her vocabulary is crap and her screechy voice was grating.

Jayblossom

Yes even though I like her, they could have cut the squealing out of the bits that went to air.

Lola

Agree Bolders. Tara comes across as an uneducated bogan and all that squealing and over the top enthusiasm.

Littlepetal

So far except for the first date, Matty has kissed everyone of them.

Jayblossom

You’er right LP, he’s in the running for more snogging than Blake.

Jayblossom

Tara’s great value to watch but like Flo I think she’s not meant for Matty but I hope he keeps her round for a bit. Having said that, Matty has some bogan tats and Tara’s on the bogan side so maybe. I think Flo could probably do better.

Sara

Not bad for someone who wasn’t going to do any kissing

Littlepetal

Yes. Matty said initially that he wont be kissing too much.

‘Matty J’ Johnson revealed that he was very selective when it came to kissing on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the 30-year-old also said that there were dates where there wasn’t any lip locking action. REALLY? So far 3 kisses in 4 dates.

Littlepetal

I need to correct myself. Matty has kissed 4 girls in 5 dates. Very soon he will break Blake record of kissing 7 girls

Erin

I like Tara, I think she is in the mix!

Jayblossom

I’d go for a quadruple “no rose” tonight. SImone, Cobie, Leah and Jen.

Lola

Matty is coming across as a bit of a tool.
I am also not interested in jumping out of a plane. Shame on this show for playing on Simones fears.

No man is worth this !

brain dead dave

“Matty is coming across as a bit of a tool”………..a rake.

Erin

I really disagree with forcing people to jump out of a plane if they are THAT scared.

Jayblossom

Me too Erin! it’s not as if it’s an integral part of getting to know someone.

Erin

You can still support Mattys adventures, doesn’t mean you have to jump out of the plane too!

Windsong

I have to agree here. It’s like, if a guy is going to test me by asking me to do something that far out of my comfort zone? Let’s just be friends, okay big guy?

Erin

HE was very good telling her she didn’t have to and it wasn’t like he was then telling the camera how unhappy he would be if she didn’t do it.
Good on her for facing that fear! But I hope she didn’t feel TOO pressured!

Daisy

Some sort of aerial jump on a group date is integral to every Bach series, and the person who freaks out the most always gets the special little after time.
Gawd knows how I ever got any boyfriends because I have never had to jump from a plane or off a cliff.

Erin

Agree Laura! No man is worth this!
AND Simone had to watch them all go first!

Littlepetal

Is this The Biggest Loser? Conquer your fear.

If Simone doesnt jump, does that mean she wont get a rose. Neither would I want a man who doesnt respect my fear.

Windsong

Geez, what is it lately with Matty and jumping out of tall stuff?

Jayblossom

He’s not looking for love he’s in it for the $200 thou and the chance to tick things off his bucket list.

Jayblossom

It’s not as if it’s an irrational fear, people can die skydiving.

Erin

I would have behaved exactly the same as Simone did! I would have been TERRIFED! The plane doing twists and turns would not have helped!

Windsong

Wasn’t there a tragic story earlier this year with one or more people who went sky-diving down Sydney-way, and something went wrong, and they didn’t survive? That’s all I was thinking about, that whole segment.

Littlepetal

2 incidents recently. Just a month ago, I think

Windsong

My point exactly. Thanks Littlepetal.

Daisy

Bloody hell!!! Lucky Simone didn’t know that.

brain dead dave

“I would do anything for love….but I won’t do that” ~ Meatloaf.

Erin

Of course now Simone will get the alone time! And now the rest will be spewing!

Littlepetal

I wouldnt jump either. Matty is not worth it. Also at the end of the day, you may not be the chosen one.

But if by jumping I can save some one life, then I may do it.

Jayblossom

Good call LP.

Daisy

I seriously doubt a guy would choose a partner based on athletics…unless it’s bedroom gymnastics.

Jayblossom

Elise never looks the same in two shots running. I think she’s a set of triplets and the other two are going to be the intruders.

Okay, I don’t really think that but how good would that be as a twist.
But she’s just guaranteed herself another week in the house.

Windsong

I liked her idea for him to get to know her a little better. And she was a Hockeyroo, that’s so cool. She’s suddenly far more interesting than anybody else at these cocktail parties.

Erin

Look up ‘resting bitch face’ in the dictionary, there will be a photo of Jen!

Jayblossom

I am heartily sick of Jen and if she was capable of self-reflection (which I’m pretty sure she’s not) she’d realise she got the consolation prize single date and hence really isn’t even in the running.

Littlepetal

I noticed this year the girls were allowed to plan what they want to do with the Bachelor at the Cocktail Party. Like Flo with the blackboard and Elise with fishing

Jayblossom

I think Matty started that last year with Georgia Love, remember the “Get to know Matty J game”

Littlepetal

I must have forgotten.

Littlepetal

This year the show is all about the bitchiness of the girls. Every promo is about the cat fight instead of about the dates. Where is the love???

Whereas with the Bachelorette, the guys are just so happy and get along very well.

Littlepetal

I still not sure who Sharlene is. Same with Stephenie.

Jayblossom

There’s still a few “filler” girls. I quite like Michelle but I’m pretty sure she’s not in the running.

brain dead dave

Not to mentions gels with “filler” of various kinds…

Michelle the copper is my fav but Matty’s not switched on.

Erin

Was that his sister in the promo? I missed The Bachelorette hometowns last year.

Jayblossom

Could be Erin, good thinking. I can’t really remember the sister but I think you might be right. LP will know,

Littlepetal

Just check. Yes, the intruder is Kate, Matty sister. The one that grill Georgia Love. Normally family only get to meet the F8nal 2 or 3. With the sis in the house, she will tell Matty to get rid of half of the remaining girls.

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/fans-of-the-bachelor-reveal-matty-js-mystery-intruder/news-story/6240164c86c810a8d6938dc08d587c25

Jayblossom

I knew we could count on you LP. Thanks. And I think you are spot on that the sister will definitely tell him to let some of them go.

Littlepetal

Even without the sister interfering, we know Jen, Simone and Leah will be sent home soon.

Erin

Thank LP. So looking forward to the fall out now!

Daisy

Are we not going to mention the elephant in the room? Jen’s lips at the rose ceremony.

Bolders

Daisy I noticed that too.
Maybe they served the cocktails that evening with a whole banana instead of an umbrella.

Plus snort on Matty’s statement that he is not a puppet: right, so it was entirely your idea to have Jen and Lliz on the double date.

Daisy

And to ask them,”Liz, what do you like and dislike about Jen?”

Daisy

Anyone want to hazard a guess on the final four? Laura, Lisa, Tara (that kiss was pretty sudden) and ….Flo? I think Laura looks like the front runner.

The girls seemed to genuinely like the farter girl. Maybe because they knew she had no chance. She needs finishing school.

Littlepetal

So far all the girls he has kissed will stay until he get rid of those without the single dates.

Erin

Yep, agree with your final four Daisy. I have read that Matty said the chosen one was a slow burn, he wasn’t sure at first, which makes me think Tara is well in the mix. Then there another he thought was gorgeous but they didn’t have the spark (i think thats Elora or could also be Lisa).
Did anyone notice farter girls’ eye make up last night? it was very panda eyes.

Windsong

Agreed. Elora seems nice enough, but she’s kind of aloof and distant. I think he’s enchanted by her beauty, and she is a very beautiful person, but she doesn’t seem to have chemistry with *anybody*, let alone Matty.

Littlepetal

To me Elora is someone you want to have a fling or someone you can show off as your girlfriend but not someone you want to marry or bring home to your family. She is like Olena from last season

Littlepetal

There is also a rumour that he was forced to reshoot scenes with other contestants to ‘fake chemistry’ because his feelings were so obvious for 1 particular bachelorette.

Maybe that is why the kiss with Tara is so sudden.

Windsong

I don’t disagree with your four, Daisy. Definitely Laura and Lisa, and I think Tara and Flo he’s also had some decent chemistry with. I don’t see the rest of them lasting that long. Heck, I think some of them (Simone, Leah or Jen) are only still there because he has to eliminate one-at-a-time as opposed to a mass dismissal (which would massively shorten the episode count).

And there’s still the impossibility of intruders.

Bobi

I read two blogs this morning (the best part of RTv) on that episode: one writer loved Tara, the other was indifferent. I must admit, I did like the sound of Tara. Maybe she’s a sleeper.

Littlepetal

This year the show has been heavily edited. Tara mentioned she has been to the secret garden before her single date but it was not shown.

It is not easy to see the interection between Matty and the girls if they are edited out.

Bobi

So maybe Matty snogs every girl – and that is edited out? To make them look less desperate – and Matty look less cheap?

Stacey

Something about Simone really annoys me but I’m not sure what. She’s not as ‘polished’ as some of the other girls – she looks like she needs to give her face a good scrub. Plus almost every time she is on screen she is complaining about the other women which makes her sound young and bratty. OTOH making her jump out of a plane when she was in high panic mode was awful. Osher basically said at the beginning “Matty will only like you if you jump.” Um, no, if she doesn’t want to jump she shouldn’t have to and shouldn’t be made to feel bad about it, ffs.

Promo looks great for next week.

Bobi

Sorry! This is bitchy. I could say that I couldn’t help myself but that would be silly. Just allow me a little guilt and a small laugh.

Daisy

No. That’s funny.

Littlepetal

So far Natalie, I think Jen and Simone got boobs job. Wonder who else?
