The end is nigh. Who do you reckon Matty will choose – and who will be the decoy AKA rejectee? And will she repeat Matty’s move of last year – back when he was still Matty J – and do the horrified knee bend when the “I’ve fallen in love with someone else” blow lands?
I think it’ll come down to Flo and Laura. I see Tara and Elise going before them, while Cobie and Elora get their marching orders tonight and tomorrow night (and I imagine that security will have to escort both of them off the premises).
I think Tara’s a bit too zany to helm her own Bachelorette series, and Elise just isn’t really interesting enough. That’s an awful thing to say, isn’t it?
I’m just wondering how they’re going to do a hometown visit for Flo.
The ad for hometown shows the families as being very sceptical regarding Matty. It will be interesting to see how he handles it, he’s been in this bubble with everyone telling him how wonderful he is and suddenly there are people who are questioning his fabulousness.
Matty has to endure some passe bogan rituals by the look of it.
Don’t youse root me sister dickheads with backward baseball caps and beers in hand. Cringe.
I remember Daddy Jock McBastard from last year.
Maybe brother Willie Wanker this time.
I actually like to see how Matty picks his final 2. As he was so devaststed when he was not the chosen one, he should not lead someone on until finale and not be chosen.
It will be better to pick someone who is not so invested as the runner up. I think Flo is still very compose and has not fully fallen in love with Matty. If she get rejected, she will not be that devastated.
I honestly think that Flo could probably do better than him anyway, hehe.
I agree. I really like Flo. She could be the next Bachelorette
She is growing on me. I like how she handles trouble, like when Elora refused to budge from the blocks.
Spot on LP.
Even though Flo cheated on the Bachelor Bush Bash, she’s way too good for Matty and deserves better than a chiselled puppet w/ earpiece.
Thank God for the commentaries from Tara and Flo to give us a dose of reality.
They should have had a question “Who is the biggest bitch?” Elora definitely would have scored the six points. Did she forget Matty was there? Her behaviour was really unattractive in the first round of the game.
“Who’s the biggest bitch with the biggest arse?” Double points.
Who has the worse fashion sense? A lot of contenders for the No. 6 box there.
I don’t think they wore or chose their own clothes…or make-up.
No. The stylists decide who wear what. Didnt Leah say she wanted to wear a certain dress but they let someone else wear it. Sometimes I rhink it is on purpose to make some of them look terrible
I heard that the stylists bring out the clothes but the contestants actually pick what they want to wear. There has been talk in the past about stylists trying to get some of the girls to things more appropriate to their body-types but not having much success.
That would explain some of the shockers.
😂😂😂 Whose got the biggest thighs would have been a good question. No really.
Biggest bitch is me now for pointing out Colbie’s chin and Elora’s thighs. She definitely needs more than an economy seat.
The whole James Blunt date felt just a little obnoxious (“Quick, rush out and buy his new album!”) but I had to laugh when Elise interviewed to the camera and said, “Exclusively seeing James Blunt was so romantic!”
Well, that’s at least one man in your life you can see exclusively…
Yeah, I agree, but I’m prepared to fess up that I like James Blunt – his tweets are hilarious.
Elora has a pretty face but the ugliness in her has shown through. She just think so highly of herself.
That’s what I was thinking LP, how could anyone find her attractive after seeing her behaviour.
In part Littlepetal. Pretty features spoilt by a Roger Ramjet jaw.
How obvious was that Extra product placement when Elise was writing her statement.
James Blunt selling his soul for a few shekels.
Cue promotion of his new album on the next ad.
Elise and Matty have zero chemistry. All the bachelorettes are as equally competitive and bitchy.
Cobie is going. Just have that feeling. She goes nuts over the pink helmet. Screams OMG.
Matt takes Cobie on a stupid date
The date was a dirty street pie version of Ninja Warrior. How much helium did Matty inhale before choosing that? We know he didn’t choose it but….anyway, fail.
Tara’s facial expressions when talking about Elora’s vows cracked me up,
Elora’s vows made me want to puke, it seemed very much “I’ll say anything to win.”
Especially when she described how airy fairy it was.
The bright pink helmet with the stickers just shows what he really thinks of Cobie!
I missed that. Did she arrive on her Barbie bike?
Also tickets for James Blunt next year concert will be on sale next Mon.
And Cobie has just been friendzoned!
I’m just now watching the part that prompted you to write that – you are so right!
Baby has been put in a corner.
Oh my gosh, I want to date Matty just so he’ll take me to that tree-based adventure park/obstacle course park, I’m guessing somewhere outside of Sydney. That looked incredible! I totally want to do that! *adds it to the list*
I told you his dates were just his bucket list.
Am not surprised, but glad he didn’t lead her on.
At least Matty did the right thing by sending Cobie home at their single date.
Poor Cobie. It even ended the way we all thought it would end. A veritable flood-wave of heart-broken tears.
Poor Cobie, she was pretty heartbroken.
There’s something about this bachelor that’s a bit off. I just feel like he is acting, similar feeling to the bachelor that cannot be named.
Blake
I thought he’d be really good but as the series has progressed the more he seems to be putting on a front. Maybe it’s all the snogging just like Blake.
It was pretty harsh.
He could have let Cobie finish her beer at least before he dumped her.
. . . with the car waiting.
Can’t drink and ride a Barbie trike.
I think it’s because they get handed lines. It’s not their own words.
The cynic in me is saying that he ditched her after the date because there were no knives around.
Hahahahahaha…
Oh dear. I shouldn’t have laughed at that, but I did. Taking her to an extreme sports park was probably not a smart idea. It’s why he waited until they were safely on the ground before breaking up with her.
But there’s still a rose ceremony tonight as well? Was one heart-broken girl not enough to sate your appetite for misery, Matthew Johnson?
Aka, Elora’s totally going home tonight.
I had the feeling that Cobie had talked herself into thinking she was in love with him because she really wants to find a partner.
Woohoo!
It was like an old cowboy movie, the good-guy dressed in white victorious and the baddie dressed in black shot down.
She looked really bitter in to camera piece.
Yeah, I noticed the contrast there on Flo in the white dress and Elora in the black dress. It was hard to miss. If there’s one thing channel 10’s production crews don’t do, it’s subtle.
Now I can spread the rumour. According to DM which can be wrong, Elora was so pissed off to be booted out she has a meltdown.
She called Warner Bros [the production company], demanding that she had better get something out of this other than a broken heart,” reveals the insider.
Elora then reportedly took a snapchat, filming her fiery revenge. “Then she put all the roses she dried out, her date cards she saved and the selfies from their first date in a bin and set it on fire. She sent the video with the caption: ‘F**k you Matty J’,” says the source.
She even demanded Simone (Ormesher) fly up and keep her company for four days.
So maybe she was a bigger bunny-boiler than Cobie. But as I’ve said before I just think she’s not used to being turned down by men and doesn’t know how to handle it. It’s really sad for women that only judge themselves on their ability to attract men. Even for the most beautiful, youth is fleeting.
Right at the end, Elora was surprising vulnerable, or maybe that was just her trying to hide apocalyptic-levels of anger. And actually, right when he needed to, Matty pulled out a really good break-up speech. I think ultimately they just weren’t that compatible. Elora seems very much a free spirit, while Matty wants the opposite, he wants to settle down. It’s just that Elora let the competition-aspect get to her, and she wanted to win. But it just wouldn’t have worked out in the long run between them, they wouldn’t have lasted.
It was telling, though, that the other Bachelorettes seemed more devastated at her eviction than Matty did. I thought that was quite sweet, particularly Laura hugging her at the end.
Well, down to the final four.
But Elora still think it could have work with Matty. Elora thinks everyone will just do what she wants them to do because they all are head over heal in love with her. Its all about her. For once Matty made the right decision
I think she totally glossed over the fact that Matty wants to settle down. She would have only wanted to do what she wanted to do (which sounds like travelling along over the place) and still not understood when it didn’t work out.
Matty has the baby fever and Elora is years away from all that
Stealing Manu’s suit for ze rose ceremony. Fail, Matty.
The other rumour is that Matty did sleep with Elora in the overnight date. Maybe that was why she was so brave to pull him over at the cocktail party for a kiss.
I had read that rumour, must be a hard one to hear for the eventual winner. But it’s another mistake young women sometimes make, thinking once they’ve slept together it makes it a monogamous relationship, certainly a false assumption in Bachelor world.
Very true, JB. That could be why Elora was cray cray after being dumped.
If it is true, I cant see Matty and the chosen one go the distance.
I am actually very happy for Georgia Love to pick the right man. At least they both still seem to be happily in love. (Also dont have to deal with that nasty sis of his)
Not all dates go smoothly. http://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/woman-gets-trapped-in-window-poop-40686
Now that was a shitty date
Woh, just watching the games. Clearly Thunderthighs is cutting her own throat by being selfish, stubborn and disrespectful.
James Blunt looks like Frank from Some Mothers. Matty won’t choose Elise because he didn’t sustain the kiss.
Could be editing?
This show is so heavily scripted and edited that the producers just leading us on like a pack of sheeps.
Even Matty is not looking good in this show. Actually he has lost a lot of credibility (due to editing). SM now say he is boring, no emotion, worst season ever etc etc.
We saw the fun Marty on The Bachelorette. But here he is so wooden
Really starting to doubt Matty with Laura, just a vibe from him talking to her. The chosen one could soon be the frozen one.
Wood, plastic, cardboard, stone~ Matty’s made of many things.
Cobie: “I am nervous because I really, really want to kiss you, and I’m too scared”. Fake timid. Put on cutesy. Vom. Also the witchy chin….
Bluugggh. Cobie tries to act like she is 6 years old. I hate poomvey, so (vomit) send her home.
Cobie was acting like a little girl and Matty didn’t want a child.
Shazizzle. Matty might end up with mama Flo. She looked hot
I love Flo. She is very pretty but I think Matty is worried she may want to move back to Holland and he cant leave his sis and nephew behind!!!!
I think either Laura or Elise will be Matty choice. If he wants a dominant woman (like his sis) it will be Laura. But Laura is more of a gypsy type, not sure Matty will like that. Also cant see Laura getting along with Matty’s sis.
Yes it really all comes down to the sister, she will have power of veto if he chooses the wrong one.
If he goes for confident; Flo.
Ladylike; Laura.
Funny girl, back slapper; Tara.
Sweet; Elise.
He he he. I dont think Laura is very ladylike…….
She isn’t loud and carries herself well. Not childish or rough.
I gotta admit, I have a soft spot for Laura, I like her.
This is recap is hilarious:

haha – that was good!
“Matty basically has to babysit Cobie for three hours so he takes her to some playground just to tire her out.”
Oh yeah, Erin. He did, didn’t he. He took her to the park. He should have bought her an ice cream and a lollypop. He had to send her home early because she had to be in bed by 7.00.
I just read an article with Elora offering herself as the next Bachelorette. I don’t think there’s much chance of that, she wasn’t particularly interesting and if they had any intention of her being the bachelorette they would hve given her a nicer edit.
Plus she got a very mixed reaction from the public, lots loved her, but plently more don’t like her either.
To be the next Bachelorette it needs to be someone Australia really loved.
No way I want Elora to be the next Bachelorette! She is so full of herself and thinks every man and his dog (sorry doggie) will fall for her. She just want her 15s of fame. She got that. Just move on
Surely the only contenders would be Tara and Flo. And because Flo’s family is overseas, and Tara’s mum is Debbie Newsome, it has to be Tara.
Whaaat? Debbie Newsome??? I didn’t know that.
Think how many Perfect Match puns they could make – if only Dexter could co-host with Osher!!!
Juz, I would watch the *crap* out of that show.
I think Tara is in with a chance if the response to Sophie Monk is good.
I reckon they’ll want an Aussie which might rule out Flo, i really like Elise, but i think she might suffer from the same fate as Richie, ok in small doses, but not interesting enough for The Bachelorette. Laura could be a goer if she isn’t The Chosen One.
Elise is great but she’s too normal for a Bachelorette. And she doesn’t do marketing speak.
I really must be old. “Staring at you naked in a hotel room in Las Vegas” in a horrible whiny voice is not my idea of music. Wonder how much channel 10 paid for that shocking performance.
Probably far too much.
How much could Ch 10 afford, to put it bluntly.
It was a creepy song. It could be a peeping Tom or stalker.
Or he could be watching porn, but voyeur was my first guess , too.
I don’t think Matty really wants any of these girls but he will pick one because that is in the script.
And he is being paid a fortune.
My prediction s that it will last as long as it takes to get into a marquee at the Melbourne Cup.
I agree with you. I think it is a blessing in disguise if you dont get chosen. I really hope none of the Final 4 has seriously fallen for Matty.
None of them will last the distance. Matty got his fat paycheck but with damaged reputation. He wouldnt mind as he can find another partner easily,
“I think my connection to Tara is different to my connection with the other women.”
Uh-oh … sorry Tara, but I think the writing’s on the wall there.
And once again I am quickly reminded how high the cringe factor is on the hometown episode!
Because Matty’s sis was nasty last year, they decided to make the family visits nastier
Tara, “Shit just got real”
She makes me laugh.
I still think he is himself with Tara.
“I’m not scared of falling in love … I’m scared he won’t choose me.”
Things like this make me wonder if these contestants know what show they’re on. I mean, it’s “The Bachelor”, ladies. Some things shouldn’t be that much of a surprise, you know?
Tara is too close to her sisters, Matty’s sister won’t be okay with competition.
I think Tara’s brother is right, if Matty really is in it for love he should now by now which one he’s going to pick.
The longer this series goes on the more Matty seems to become “Stepford Matty”.
“I couldn’t take you to Holland for obvious reasons…”
Because there’s no way channel 10 has the budget for that, Flo. I mean, geez. They had to cancel “Offspring” just to afford all those tulips, there.
I was more shocked at Mattys reaction to her actual family not being in Melbourne!
And that’s proabably been his most genuine reaction yet.
Holy crap-muffins. Flo’s blonde friend? Someone get that woman a job with ASIO or as a police interrogator or something. Damn, she went straight for the jugular. Although it’s kind of interesting watching Matty squirm a bit, isn’t it?
I’d nominate her for next Bachierette – she was great TV.
Ooooh! Matty did not like it when it wasn’t all about him at Flo’s home visit. But then probably liked it less when Marley got to work.
