Thanks for joining us sammy! I'm excited for Lisa's date this week - want to see more of her since she's been so hidden and to also hopefully see more of the foundation of her relationship with Blake ...some interviews have hinted along with the previews that he sees her as level-headed and composed which he appreciates along with comments in interviews he's made that hint at him and her being like-minded about defending the weaker people in the house (with reference to Jess -- interesting that he sees jess as being pushed around cos she's weeker since the girls actually see her as taking advantage/being inconsiderate to them). So from these points and from the fact that Lisa usually initiates physical intimacy with him, he likes the fact that she's in control -- she also fits the criteria of being "calming" cos of her composed nature -- all this points to her fitting his description of the kind of girl he's looking for at the very beginning during show launch interviews. (Important to note: show launch interviews were likely timed in realtime around the time of the weeks which are being shown in episodes in the last week and this week -- we know this because the preview contained shots from everything up to this point but not more)

Many of the other girls are getting very emotionally involved, rattled, scared, dramatic, sensitive etc. AEF has shared one of the previews for this week focuses on Blake being annoyed at how hard it's getting -- he holds Lisa up as someone whose behavior is exemplary (calm, collected, composed) Lisa's detachment does seem like she's not exactly losing anyy sleep or feeling anxious over him (I see the bored face on her wayyy too much -- eventhough see was giggly and happy last cocktail party enough to see that she might be opening up a bit) The thing to also see is -- are all these attributes "convenient" for Blake to lean to and find comforting in for a change making her stand out or is it what he values enough over the other kinds of connection he has with the other ladies for him to chose her as his F1?

a recent interview (end of filming i.e. end of august realtime) has him describing love as "someone who i want to wake up to every day, someone who puts a smile on my face when i think about them, someone i can't wait to go on adventures with etc." this is def diff from his initial description of his ideal girl during the interviews at the beginning of show airing which described a girl who had a good sense of humor, was in control and calmed him

...anyways all this to say -- i think the way the women start getting emotionally intense helps him form a bond with Lisa who calms and relaxes him and she jumps to the forefront in the coming few epis...based on his comments more recently about the show being raw and the kind of girl he now describes -- it does seem his view has not being fixated on that "calming presence and being in control/composed" it actually is interesting that for the very first time during this show franchise the girls are all banding together and the bach is feeling frustrated at their skittishness. I really believe the AU girls are not throwing themselves all over the bach...compared to the US show where the girls are very aggressive. what we're seeing now is that time mid-season where he's feeling frustrated about the women's behaviors and expressing it during interviews (in real time this was also when the show aired)

He is very much accepting about the women's fiery side and describes the experience as a real life experience and raw and passionate. I have a feeling he's the one feeling frustrated and openly expressing it soon... I also think it became a moot point when he realized that everyone is emotional, involved and intensely invested in the whole process. Lisa stands out in this since she's very composed and unrattled...curious how all that will play out...

sammy24 I'm glad you joined us!

There's more to life than spreading lies about good people.

Here's the preview that has been on channel 10. I still can't make out what Blake asks Jess.

If people actually think that Blake gives a rip what a forum in the US thinks, I wouldn't worry so much about it. I frankly don't care to know more about Blake, so I wasn't believing the posts from that person anyway.

Thanks for posting the preview AEF. Couldn't hear either but it sounds like he was checking if she was bothered by what was going with the other girls. I am guessing this because of the way she answered 'no'
confidently.

I am not too sure who the front runner is anymore, it was Sam last week though IMO. Amber made a comment on the pic she posted of a few of them hanging out post show that there were still surprises ahead when someone accused her of spoiling the ending with that pic which included Chantal, Sam, Laurina, Zoe & Kara. Then Diana posted a pic hanging out with Lisa this past weekend.

I think Lauren & Chantal might be next to go this week, should be interesting how it all shakes out

I didn't know forums even existed on these shows.  how fun!  My friends and I stumbled across the Aussie Bach and now we get together every Thursday night to watch the two episodes of the week.  Funny thing we've decided early on that Lisa and Sam were going to be the last two standing.  This season seems to be going by at a snails pace but we are sucked in and can't stop watching now.  I do have to say the girls are way more interesting that the Bachelor.  :cutesmile!:

ITA, think it makes him sound even more odd.

So glad you found us - we look forward to hearing from you on Fridays with your collective wisdom! Also, if you haven't watched the first season of Bach AU, you can do it on YouTube. It was a great first season. In some regards, I feel sorry for Blake having to follow Tim!

What was so great about Tim compared to Blake?

oh yea i agree with that! tim is very composed and suave -- he's also VERY articulate and knows how to handle diff situations...he's just smooth. blake is less so - i can see the awkward little boy he was through the smooth exterior -- and I actually find that endearing about him...
