Bachelorette Straya – Wed, Oct 11

Tonight on Bahelorette Australia: Sophie invites all the boys around to hers for the “perfect night in”, complete with animal onesies. (Just as well she gave Ryan the boot or he would have flipped out over the onesie). On the single date, Sophie and a lucky Bachelor board a luxury cruiser and sail around Sydney Harbour.

Bachelorette Straya – Wed

Tonight on Bachelorette Straya, Sophie takes one lucky Bachelor for a day of old-fashioned romance. Later, the group date sees the intensity taken up a notch in an ultra-competitive game of bicycle polo.

I guess they are saving the intruders for the end of the episode. Jarrod’s head is going to explode!

The Bachelorette Australia is not far off

There’s a new promo for Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette Australia. Last year Ten screened Georgia Love’s season straight after Richie picked Alex (ah, one out of two ain’t bad) and it’s likely they’ll do the same again.
Before we know it it will be Matty’s turn to break someone’s heart – the only question is whether that someone will then be cast as The Bachelorette in 2018. And then, subsequently, Hell’s Kitchen Australia.

Who do you think Georgia Love will choose?
At least regardless of who she selects there won’t be the uproar that resulted from Richie picking Alex because the edit seems equally weighted between Lee and Matty.

Here we are in Singapore, so don’t expect any walks along the beach or passionate kisses atop cliffs. They obviously couldn’t get Singapore Airlines on board
It’s pretty sad watching Georgia talk about her mum being unable to make the trip to Singapore with the rest of the Love family, knowing that in “real life” mum was admitted to palliative care this week.


Matty is up first to face Dr Love and Sis Katie and surely their first question has to be: “When are you going to drop the “y” from your name?”. He looks super tall when he’s not next to 15 other dudes in tuxes.
Poor Matt is wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt – perfect for the humidity of Singapore. Sis peppers him with questions and – phew – he’s not allergic to cats.
This whole Syd V Melbourne thing is such a beat up. It’s 90 minutes on a plane. They can deal with it for a year. Neither Lee nor Matty is a Dad so there is no son in the picture to create faux drama, as the producers did with Alex and Richie. Matt says he decided to leave London to return to Sydney earlier than expected because his sister was pregnant, which just speaks to him being even more of a good bloke than we already think.
He tells Dad he could move to Melbourne in the future but it’s all a bit awkward. Dad isn’t sure whether he’s legit. We don’t get to hear what her sis thought.
Lee has also been condemned to wear pants and long sleeves and is unfortunately wearing his contacts.
Sis looks a bit googly eyed when she looks into Lee’s baby blues. Lee is holding Georgia’s hand but she’s not leaning into him. Sis thinks he’s a smooth talker – just as well she never met Jake! He should have worn his glasses and a chunky cardy.
Sis gets the alone time with Lee and fires away: “What are your feelings for Georgia, and have you told her?” Lee says he’s falling “head over heels” in love but hasn’t told Georgia yet. Lee has spoken more in the last five minutes than he has the whole series – and he’s been hitting the teeth whitener.
Sis and Dad both don’t want to commit to telling Georgia what they think about both the guys.
Georgia really has to push Sis for an answer and you can tell she wants to grab her arm and give her the worst Chinese burn to force it out of her.
Eventually Sis says Lee is too smooth but Dad is worried Matt won’t leave Sydney. The drama!

The dates
Later, Georgia goes on a date with Matty. “Just being around him just fills me with joy,” she tells the camera. How could she turn him down after saying something like that? Or is that more of a “let’s be mates” comment. Matty loves her heaps and is up thrillseeking activities. Uh oh – is he getting the Nikki edit?


Lee gets to go on a more romantic date, involving fireworks and an amazing infinity pool that’s 57 floors up. And he finally tells her he loves her and gets a big pash in return.
I was all about Lee and his dad jokes to start with but now I’m on the Matty train. If he goes, Matty for Bachie next year!

Decision day
It’s the final day so Georgia takes a stroll in her gym gear, lugging a yoga mat around in the Singapore heat. As Lee contemplates his love for Georgia, it’s like watching a cologne commercial as we get a closeup of the product, then a spray over Lee’s ripped frame and a close up of his handsome face.
Here comes Georgia in a pale blue sparkly dress with a very high front split and very heavy mascara. “How are you, darl?” asks Osher. She says there’s one guy she loves just being around but he’s not the one (yep, so Matty is gone).
“I’ve fallen madly in love with someone else,” she says. Doorman Osher ushers Georgia into the waiting car. What, is he not coming to the site of the big reveal? it’s in the rooftop garden of a swanky hotel and it’s a night-time affair. Ooh -that’s different.


Matty is the first one out of the car and she reminisces about their “slow burn” relationship and how she adores him. And here comes the “but” because she’s tearing up…
“I came here to fall in love and I have, but it’s with someone ese.”
He drops her hands, bends over slightly, and lets out a muffled “urgh” at this kick to the guts.


“I guess I’m absolutely devastated,” he says but keeps it together enough to tell her she’s unforgettable. “It sucks you don’t feel the same way. I’m so happy you found what you’re looking for and I’m sure you are going to make Lee the happiest man in the world,” he says graciously.
Georgia is going to need her makeup redone. Aww, poor Matty J. Go home and cuddle your nephew heaps.

Here comes Lee, who seems a good bloke and it would definitely be handy to have a mechanical plumber in the family. And hopefully he’s being a huge support to Georgia right now. “Not many guys bring a donkey when they first meet a girl,” she says, adding there was a spark from the start. “You make me excited for the future … I’ve fallen so madly in love with you.” He grins the biggest grin. “I love you so much.”


Kiss, kiss, kiss. Loud music. Happy people. (Producers on the sidelines are yelling “keep kissing!”).

So, that’s it. No Survivor Australia and no Bachelorette.
