Bachie – week 4

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard on the radio today that last season’s Alex (of Richie and Alex fame) broke up with Richie and has since hooked up with another woman. And that’s fine, whatevs. But that’s three (count ’em, 3) bachelorettes from Richie’s season who started dating women afterwards. Was Richie really *that* dull? He can actually turn people?

Anyway. I’m looking forward to seeing Matty’s slightly over-protective (slightly?) sister have at some of the girls left this season. This should be fun.

Jen was so effusive in her praise for Matty’s sister in her to camera piece that it was immediately clear she knew that the sister wasn’t competition. I’ve not heard her say anything nearly as nice about any of the other girls.

I’m not going to judge Leah for her job but I will judge her for her behaviour that has been shown on the show and I don’t like what I’ve seen. I liked Flo’s tongue in cheek “shocking”.

I dont like Leah but tonight episode is set up to make Leah looks really bad. So they already know about her topless party and make a story out of it. The producers knew and chose her to be one of the bachelorette a d then make a story about her past

Matty’s dates are becoming more and more like his bucket list.

This is ridiculous. Matty is not a baby. He can decide for himself who is genuine and who is not. If he cant then he is dump

Why pick Tara to see how she will be with kids. She is a nanny, Matty. She knows how to be with kids

I really am so sick of Jen she opens her mouth a garbage spews forth. Case in point “… so technically she kidnapped Leah’s child.” and “…. no children like Laura”. No, in an experiment with a very small sample size Laura didn’t immediately connect with a child she’d never met before.

I like that Laura won the single date. Laura’s just so honest and sweet that I think I’m falling for her a little bit.

Although, I gotta say, on the paddleboat? I did start to see a resemblance between her and Georgia Love. It’s fine, it’s just, we know that Matty has a type, now. Heheheh.

Meanwhile, I honestly couldn’t care less if Leah is/was/will be a stripper. I care that she’s kind of a bully and a jerk, though. That would be far more important to me, as a potential romantic match.

Matty, there are a lot of things you dont know about girls. You need time to know each one of them

Common. Hi Matty I am Leah. I have been a topless waitress.

In Matty’s defense, he didn’t seem to really care at all about Leah’s past. He seemed far more upset at the fact that she’s been lying to him about being this maternal, much-loved figure in the house … when in fact, she’s been kind of a jerk this whole time, and nobody likes her very much.

My jaw actually dropped at Elora’s snarky comment directed at Leah regarding her conversation with Matty. “Did he tip you?” Holy damn, Elora. That was amazing. The look of surprise on Flo’s face, afterwards? Yeah, that was me. But as Elise pointed out, Leah is nothing but snark directed at the other bachelorettes. If you can’t take it back? Don’t dish it out in the first place.

It’s about the person not their jobs. It’s unbelievable. Simones right it’s her past

I can’t believe that they’re making out as though having worked as a topless waitress is equivalent to a criminal record for murder or some other serious crime. So OTT.

This episode is so scripted. They know about the past of the 2 girls. Suddenly they made a big fuss about it.

Leah is just an out and out bitch. During the fight she was threatening the other girls that she had stuff on all of them and then outing Simone to Matty. And wanting a rose so she could rub it in the other girl’s faces – yeah she’s really there to find love with Matty.

When the papers have Simone being a topless waitress, she said was so ashamed of herself. Just another way of getting sympathy votes.

So Leah actually admitted to Matty that she’d gone out of her way to bully Simone, in the first week in the mansion.

And yet somehow, Leah’s still the victim when it all goes south.

Good choice on eliminating her, Matty. You could’ve done that a few episodes ago, but you got there eventually, and we’re proud of you.

Leah knew what was coming. I still think she was asked to act that way.

Well Leah, Matty woke up and saw through you. So I think he’ll be fine.

Simone is practically topless tonight. Just saying.

I’m hoping that none of these fame seeking drama queens get to extend their 15 minutes. I think they saw that Keira’s bad behaviour paid off with an “I’m a celebrity” gig and that’s why the cattiness is so high this year.

Poor choice of words to Simone, Matty ~ “exposed”

Geez, $imone , you were a topless entertainer, not a paedophile.

Simone wants to be a model. So this exposure is good. Dont think Matty will end up with her anyway.

Promo showed an overnight stay for Matty.

So all the early media talk was a lie. Matty said he will be selective with the kissing. Now he said he needs to see the chemistry.

Now the first Bachelor with an overnight stay.

Did the sister give a spoiler of the final three? “Tara, Elise and Laura are in the clear, no-one threw them under the bus.”

I found this episode to be so judgemental. The producers knew some of the girls had a past.
I agree with Leah, there a lot of bitches in that house.
Really ugly episode tonight. . . and as for Matty’s self righteous sister . . enough said.

“And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were banging on the door,
On a Saturday night, in nineteen twenty-four…
Take it away boys!
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested,
The manner in which she was exposed,
And later on in court, well, everybody thought
A summer run in jail would be proposed,
But the judge said, “Patricia,
Or may I say, Delicia,
The facts of this case lie before me…
Case dismissed … this girl was in her working clothes!!”

~ excerpt from “Patricia the Stripper”

I can’t look because I am in Perth and won’t be able to watch Bach until I get home on the weekend. It’s a mother and daughter trip. 😊😊😊

Not a fun episode.
But I guess drama is the way to go early in the season otherwise all those blonde girls just morph into one.
I might give it a miss until Florence goes home. Who the hell’s Florence, you say? Exactly.

Sheesh. Has The Bachelor jumped the shark with this 007 Sister episode? Almost an hour about some secret build up to Leah’s background and how she was going to effect a major retaliation.
And in the end she hugged it out and wished the Bachelor the best with some throw away line about the remaining girls being deceptive. As though the role Spit-Shine Shine assigned her to play was genuine .
All of it was shite and the fact i watched and got agitated was shite.
Plus could Matty and Laura have opened their mouths any wider during that slightly awkward kiss – had a slight Kath and Kell wiff to it.

Also why does he like to cut girls off mid sentence with a pash? to shut them up? Because he thinks it’s romantic? Because he isn’t paying attention and doesn’t know how to respond? Because he thinks it makes schlock TV?

I despair.

Simone handled it very well – they barely know each other she doesn’t know where its going, there is no need to spill all the secrets on the first date. Not that I think she is the chosen one either.
And technically neither of them lied, they just didn’t tell the full story! Not an industry i would want to be associated with but its not like they committed a crime.
Matty actually handled dumping Leah really well – and it made Leah look even worse!
Leah has come out in her media interviews that she didn’t even like Matty anyway – sounds like she was just bored in the house – not that, i think that is an excuse for bullying.
I love kids too but I would have struggled like Laura with that group date too, its really hard to bond with a kid you have met barely 5 minutes ago.
No kiss for Alix, which I reckon means she ain’t in the running! Plus she kept bringing up other girls. I liked that Matty said it only takes one date for everything to change. Unfortunately for Alix, I don’t think things will change for her.

I think Leah being a bully should have been the issue alone. Who cares what they do or did outside the show.
I love how Simone rocks the halfup half down hairstyle like a 90s schoolgirl. It doesn’t have that slick overstraightened look that is popular now.

Three gels bolt from the mansion tonight.

If it’s Elise, Elora or Simone, that’ll be okay.

Matty’s such a prude… but driving like a playboy with one hand on the wheel of the sports car he had Alix in….in traffic, that don’t impress me much.

Jen is annoyed at Elora being “too smug”. I worry that the irony here is so great that the internet might crack in half because of it.

So with every date, the girl have to bring their bikini, another chsne of clothes and what else?

Elora – “I don’t know how this day could get any better.”

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Jen is attacked by a rabid kangaroo.

I’ll admit, I chuckled at Elora’s comment to Leah, but I still intensely dislike Elora. It was fantastically timed and was exactly something Leah would’ve said had the shoe been on the other foot. Anyhoo, I thought it was made pretty clear that the reason Leah was booted was because of her ‘mean girl’ persona and the treatment of Simone, particularly when she was so forthcoming in admitting that she liked bullying her. Matty found it a turn off, so would I if I were him. Leah’s opportunity to tell him was on the medieval date when she drunkenly went outside and fake cried to Matty. Simone handled it with as much dignity as could be expected, and to be honest she is probably one of the girls with the least amount of ‘stripper’ vibe about her.

Alix and Matty had no chemistry AT ALL. That date was painful to watch, she didn’t seem like she even liked him. I think we all know that Laura is the winner, but I’m loving Tara even if she does give off a ‘matey’ vibe. It’s really about time Michelle gets a date. I like her a lot.

Another question. How do these girls, Flo, Simone and Elora get to live and work in Australia?

Many people couldnt come and live in Australia. Even those with a degree.

I agree Elora shouldn’t get to be on the group date (but I probably wouldn’t mind quite so much if I liked her).

Go flo! Cheat away!

Elora has a huge advantage over the other girls having spent more time. I think Flo cheating is hilarious!

He doesn’t seem happy that she cheated…. 😬

The more I see of Matty the less I like him, how prudish that he was “disappointed” that she cheated at a stupid game.

I too adored Flo for cheating. That was hilarious.
