Just love your posts, they help fill in so much for me. Plus, I love observation/data/analysis and you are excellent at it!

I read those posts by the "ex-girlfriend" was she really the ex.

And I think at that time everyone was under the impression the F1 is Lisa.

indeed indeed!! good times it's been a good season! a lot to play with and get entertained by

so I'm trying to figure out what the dates coming up are based on the tourism descriptions of where TBAU did their dates...these are my guesses based on sc

dive with great white sharks --not sure if this is same as whale watching yet and when it happens


F3 Fantasy Suite dates
LOUISE: daytime: explore the world-renowned Cape wine lands

night time: chill at the pool/by the water

LISA: day time: experience local communities and charities such as Afrika Tikkun of which Nelson Mandela was chief patron

--- Night time: then go to a fancy hotel to relax

SAM: daytime -- Dive with sharks and watch whales??
I'm confused if they would go diving with the weather and their outfits in the pictures when they're whale watching??...
night time:  then go on a boat?


F2 LCD Dates
1. With Australia watching, Blake and the lucky girls will discover one of the Seven Wonders of Nature – Table Mountain -- which girl?? -- my guess is whoever get this date is certainly F1 jmho cos it's the best and most amazing tourist attraction in cape town...
2. LISA enjoy unforgettable safaris in Pilanesburg Game Reserve

OK so I went through last season extras on ten play and most of the videos have Ali on it.

Ali- 7 clips
Anna has 4 clips
Rochelle - 5 clips

Any thoughts about analysing this. Many have said that Sam is getting Ali's edit although the difference being that Blake is the one wooing Sam and not like Ali wooing Tim.

On the other hand Sam does have the problem of opening up like Anna did.

Rochelle was the most closed off like Lisa is until quite recently don't really know though where Louise will fit in.

Emusha you make a good point. However for the evening portion of the girls's dates, I am expecting them to change into something more formal. I don't see how Sam changes back from the black blazer she was wearing into another jeans and tee shirt. So because of that and the backgrounds of the 2 boating evenings being dissimilar, I am more inclined to still go with 2 different days based on the screen caps you have.

I think we need to factor into this season the fact that there is an engagement. Does anyone know how the Aussie public will react to an engagement if there is no love story shown? I think we take it for granted in the US version because we all expect an engagement which is just ridiculous considering the US series filming is shorter than the AU filming.

Well I for one will be disappointed. Not speaking for everyone in Australia but still. And I think since the AU Bach has been constantly going on and about how they want to show Blake finding a "genuine" lasting love I don't think they would deceive the public like that. And I think even in the previous season it was getting clear that Anna was the one that will be at the end with what they were showing after they got down to 7 ettes

I think Ten is pretty proud of the fact that Tim and Anna are still together and growing strong so they want to show more credibility to their show.

Mercieme and Sammy24 ....... I think that the proposal makes a huge difference.

Also, Ali is totally different from Sam. 

Ali
---  was VERY full-on/pursuing of TB/Tim compared to this season's girls
--- she literally followed him around everywhere so she gave the producers a TON to work with and manipulate to hide Anna.
-- while Ali was all into Tim, Tim never once reciprocated that he was falling for her. Anyone could see it. But people (and the producers) liked Ali and still do. Ali even has a blog on Tenplay concerning this season.

Sam
--  may have started with a crush on Blake, but very early on Blake started pursuing Sam
-- Blake repeatedly seeks out Sam on group dates (the barn date, the yacht date, the Heart Advert/commercial date) instead of Sam seeking Blake out
-- Blake has told Sam he is falling again and again. Proving once again he is pursuing her.


Also, in regards to Tim's F1, Anna was more reserved and there was not as much conflict nor was there any evidence that Tim had fallen so hard for Anna that he was going to propose... or tell her so besottedly that he is falling, falling, really, really falling (you get the picture) as Blake has done with Sam.

So I think that there was not as much footage of Tim and Anna as there is of Blake and Sam. I mean, their entire journey has been different in how the emote and express themselves to each other.


Blake and Sam are similar in their eagerness to fall for one another (and Blake expressing this)... while I would say that Tim and Anna were more reserved/cautious (not as upfront expressing it).

 I absolutely agree with this!! I definitely feel like the producers take PRIDE in that their franchise is different from the US (and even Canada, IMO). 

The lack of emphasis on drama for drama's sake (even Amber who was melodramatic wasn't Australian) and the lack of sleaziness for the most part (no one having sex in the ocean, or overnight dates with sex, etc)...

I for one, definitely love TB Australia for this reason alone...

actually sam's dates don't make sense to me...generally speaking like you said they change into something nicer (read- sexier for FS) so I don't actually know where these dates fit together....Lisa's date in the hotel is the same day (see her outfit) sam's maybe not...I don't know...i'm confused...anyone wanna play around with these sc and help figure it out?

I agree with you a bit here but I do think the next episode will make it clearer whether any of the conflict leading up to sam's story is something she overcomes (lisa as well though I assume her profession might come at LCD)...either way I think there will be a significant shift in the narrative for F1 (based on sc that's Lisa or Sam) because of the proposal cos they likely want to legitimize the proposal/blake's decision...even from this point in previews they're showing the women professing their love...so I think the hurdle of opening up (from any of the girls will be FS edit imo) I assume the day of proposal previews will focus more on if blake's family accept F2 and if she says yes...that's just my guess

Emusha, for the Table Mountain date...

.... depending on what the weather condition was like  since it was around Autumn/Winter (and Cape Town can be quite chilly and windy) the date could be very different. If anything, they may even have viewed it from a yacht, a strong, strong possibility since you get the full effect in the wharf area by doing so. OR, there could be a helicopter ride that we haven't seen take place yet. Certainly the dates are going from one location to another. 

Who knows, the proposal could be by Lion's head or even the foot of TM. Anywhere, really. 

Will have to see if it isn't shown during the F2 episode then the RC episode may show it..
