The Bachelor Australia - Season 2 - Blake Garvey - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers* - General Discussion -

Actually on closer inspection I believe the scene I was referring to with Louise was her single date and not the finale. I have noticed though that Sam has not posted anything on Instagram for a few days now (others have posted photos of her but not her herself) and if I'm tracking right I think she may have been in Sydney last week a little longer than the others. I know Blake was definately there a few days after the photoshoot.

I am a self confessed Sam fan and I think that from the intruder time the producers have invested a lot of time in Sam. In my mind it wouldn't make sense if Lisa or Louise were proposed to as we haven't seen that progression in their relationships. I feel that Sam is the only one where viewers could say 'oh I can see where that came from'.  That being said I have just freaked myself out completely with that close up shot of Louise and Blake from the promo of the last episode. I think Blake is wearing the finale suit and looking at the position of Louise (higher than Blake) I think it's possible that she is sitting on his knee, and yes it's the knee he was not kneeling on in the proposal.  If this is the case it just doesn't compute in my head. Does anyone else have a counter theory on this snippet?

Hi Sundy, welcome! I have also just found this blog. Imagine my joys when i saw that people here are not judgmental and they are all positive. I have tried the facebook but there are really mean people there. i do go once in an while. i am on this blog most of the time when i got the free time. I love sleuthing but these people here are really pros when it comes to sleuthing. M learning from them but I am a slow turtle.
Initially I thought the one you saw Blake and Louise, where Louise was not happy and bubbly I thought he was wearing a greyish suit, the on he worn during the FRC but apparently I was wrong, it seems it was a darker brown colour. If that is the case definitely not the FRC. I too find it hard to think it would be Louise and not Sam after all the journey Blake went through to convince her about his feeling. I think the doubt she had during the HTD, when she was about to say farewell to Blake was awkward and scripted. They did not feel comfortable acting it out. I do not know. Maybe you can have a look and let me know your thoughts. Cheers.

Yea Sam did mention inb her previous instagram that she would be going to Sydney next month which begins this Wednesday. She said she would like to bring Chantal along and crash at Sarah's (Bachelorette from Season 1) place. I think they are all referring to the finale on Thursday. I am sure all of the bachelorette will be on the show with Blake and his chosen lady. Its super exciting, really cant wait for it. Last time Tim and Anna was together for the finale. I think Blake and whoever she is the lady would want the same too. I am not surprise if Sam is the one.

i know we analysed that Sam has two dates with the clothes she's wearing with Blake and the difference in the time of days. But am I the only one who's thinking why Blake would take Sam on a boat for both her dates if she is either F1/F2. Making it highly likely that Sam could be F3 even though it would break my heart if that were to happen.
Or else I could be just babbling here and making no sense.

check the screencap thread sammy -- I believe the weather for the two dates is so different that they can't be the same day...I don't know if she likes water -- she seems to be getting a lot of those kind of dates. Blake also said one of his fave things to do to socialize is to hang out on a boat...

Sundy!

Oh well. My heart and head say Sam ... so maybe my stomach says Louise? I don't know. I feel that it is Sam's F1 to lose and by her own choice if so. If she is rejected by Blake she will either shut down or cry hysterically. Just cannot picture her not being the F1 but seeing everyone focusing on Louise as F1 is making me nervous.

Oh well, as long as Blake is happy. Okay, strike that, I will be upset with Blake (editors?) because he really should have at least said to another F3 girl that he was falling for her long before these last two dates and a proposal. Just too odd for the editors to not show Blake saying that to at least two girls if anyone other than Sam is F1.

I've done enough analysis on Sam and Blake in these threads. I just cannot imagine him with anyone else that makes him the Blake that I really liked. The genuine, sensitive, tender, vulnerable, will protect you, Blake.

*sigh* Cannot wait for Thursday to get here so I can get back to my normal life so I don't have to stress over people I don't even know. Haha...

LOL!!! AllAboutLove its really silly if you come to think of it, My husband just could not comprehend why I am stressing out for people on TV that I do not even know. I am happy to know I am not alone in this craze of mine. I really cannot picture Louise too. If you look at the last farewell of HTD, he did not seem that emotional or even an indication that Louise is anything special to him. She was doing all the sweet talking. I suspect its only Sam who can cause the upset. But what do you think about Sam farewell. I sensed that there is some awkwardness when they parted. Both Blake and Sam were like following a script. What do you think?

It's funny, I can find good reasons for all F3 to be F1

Lisa: least but quite compelling, i.e. her interview. Set-up? Also Sam's IG comments that she is team Lisa...
Louise: best fit on paper, that SC where they look so content, etc... plus some things Blake said in interviews that match her well
Sam: the necklace on IG, counter balanced by most of her SM behaviour which seem to try and convince all she isnt F1.

TBH, the reason i feel it has to be Sam is simple: we always say "look who is chasing the Bette, look who the Bach is chasing..." Blake has always chased Sam, insisting to talk to her when she was throwing a tantrum and refusing to talk to him when the new girls came in for example.

here are some note I jotted down when watching HTDs last week, the voice-overs/ITMs as Blake was saying goodbywe at the end of each HTD in particular:

- Louise: her speech to Blake at the end of the HTD felt exactly like that, a speech. Almost like an ITM, saying all the right things.

- Sam: the only one not showed kissing Blake as they met at the start of HTD (that threw me). Blake saying " our life together"

- Lisa: " a possible future together" ... not using "us" but pretty close...

I have to say to me Sam is still the one I see for Blake, and I think we need to remember that what we see might not be the full truth... remember the "trust" issues with Josh and Andi... the jealousy with JP and Ash... i think the insecure/not opening up from Sam might be editing related.
Or she would have looked a lot more worried at the last RC IMHO.

sophinette what do you mean "set up" when it comes to lisa? you mean the interview where she said she's not single is a set up??

regarding editing for F1 -- i'm on the same page with you-- we've seen it over and over -- generally an F1 has a big conflict to resolve and has the most doubt going into FRC (anna not expressing her feelings, jp holding back etc..)

Sophinette and emusha....

I agree about the conflict that is emphasized with the F1.

Just imagine... Sam says "I will know 100% when you are with my family" and then he is with her family and it goes unbelievably well! At the end of the HTD around the dinner table he looked like he had been there before AND, AND he was not sitting NEXT to Sam but across from her. That is very unique compared to the other Lisa and Louise's HTDs. (I did expound on this back a few pages on this thread if you want to check it out regarding pre-during-post HTD analysis.) I think this was scripted a bit but if not, I think because the family was large and the emphasis was not just on Blake and Sam but also family, which is what she is all about (and what Blake said he wants to be a part of as well).

So, the fact that the date went amazingly well.. Blake was grinning his face off even when they were saying goodbye and then Sam is all, "I know I told you I would know 100% and I do... BUT!" The but had to be there.

What is the other option?

Blake: I've told you before I've fallen for you and you said you just needed me to be with your family to know for sure if you "in the very least, feel the same way for me" so now I met them and?
Sam: OMG, this was the best day of my life and yes! I know 100% now how I feel for you and it is the same as you feel for me. Let's ride into the sunset right now, okay?
Blake: How about doing that in Capetown, South Africa?

Pfffft! Haha!

Sundy and Quane  

I am new to this forum as well and like you, love that everyone is so nice here! I feel everyone uses critical analyses rather than just criticising the girls or Blake as most people seem to do on Facebook, which just makes me sad...

It is fun to view this show through the lens of others and I have loved what you have both written so far! It helps with gaining a broader understanding of how each of us are viewing the same thing in similar and different ways... Love it!  

As you will easily tell,   for Sam and always have been but I think both Lisa and Louise are just lovely, lovely girls!

So after reading all these comments I went back to re-watch the episodes and apart from Blake Sam is the one that does most of the narration. It's like their trying to make us love her and see things from her POV but I can't help but think they are setting us up for disappointment.
