Not sure if "eyes" emphasis serves as F1 other than Art's bio stating that his ideal woman has beautiful eyes.

Also, in interviews (on video) that he did post-filming and day after airing of first episode he says that his ideal woman has beautiful eyes.

When he met Alysha out of the limo he said to her "you have beautiful eyes".

Alysha posted on her IG and captioned her photo talking about her eyes and hashtagged #blueeyes #thebachelornz.

Hey Mura, based on AllAboutLove's sleuthing, Art mentioned in a recent interview  about how he likes a girl with great eyes. It had been sleuthed that Alysha  was complimented about her eyes and that it could be an F1 indicator. But I noted that Poppy also got the me compliment about her eyes. So I just think he loves the blue piercing eyes that Poppy and Alysha have in common. I think he said 'great eyes' to Alysha and 'amazing eyes' to Poppy. Pretty sure that Poppy is not F1 based on the eye compliment, but it might be for Alysha when you factor in the sleuthing in her favor already.

Based on the sleuthing done, filming was about 5 weeks....curious to know if they used the same format as Bach AUS where it was mostly one single date and one group date per episode or if they are going to highlight more single dates per episode since he should at least have 2 dates with his F4 or maybe F6. Also not sure how home town visits will factor in for the F4 at this point, again due to the short timing for filming.

Filming has finished and fans can look forward to episodes showing group dates, one-on-one dates and the rose ceremony, where Green will present a single red rose to each of the bachelorettes he wants to get to know better. Those not given a rose are out.

Final episodes will see Green and bachelorettes meeting each other's friends and families.

Romantic getaways are also planned, and it is understood at least one contestant enjoyed a date in Fiji with Green. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11409762

Btw, IMO this is highly unlikely, though, knowing that both Bach AU and Bach CAN  (both welcoming their 3rd season? ) haven't considered their first Ette season yet.

- I think it will be interesting if we can do comparative analysis with Tim Robards-Ahna  edit (of Bach AU), in how they presented Ahna and how they unfold their love story. IIRC Ahna was also shown in an  intro video. I guess i can recall this bc she was wearing a bright color (red?) skirt and suit. (btw she always looks good in red ).Not sure if Tim and her had their 1-1 time on MnG, but i would guess, yes. Maybe someone can look back and check?

- Speaking of after math, i dont think a girl moving closer to Art's current place can serve as a solid indication JMO. Even if he got engaged in the end of this, considering his age (and the possible F1 age, Matilda is 24?..Alysha is..?), i can easily see a scenario of him and his F1 doing a long distance relationship for longer time before going into the next step/ready for a marriage. I believe Tim and Ahna -a lot older couple than Art and his supposed F1- have done a long-distance too for over a year before Ahna moved in with him. IIRC.  Love to see them as a great match, still together and going strong.

On the Edge, you’ve been involved with a few arranged marriages, which is a similar approach to love as The Bachelor. Can you vouch for their authenticity?
Ultimately, it is a love story. It is the love story of one guy who has decided that the time is right for him now to find a companion, and he is willing to put himself out there to find that one person."

And there are a few southern Bachelorettes aren’t there? It’s good to see a lot of contestants coming from all around the country.
That’s just people looking for that opportunity to try something unique and different to put themselves forward. I really hope Kiwis buy into the love story, and they all want a happy ending. It’s been so much fun to be a part of, but ultimately the show is not about me, and to be honest it’s really not about the girls. It’s about this guy and his search for love, and I think we’re very lucky to be able to see that unfold and for him to put his heart on his sleeve in front of the country.

Just to fill in a few pieces;
-Bachelorette AU 1 will follow this year's Bachelor AU 3.
-I remember Tim and Anna's MNG as Tim pointed out Anna's lipstick and lipstick on her teeth
-Tim and Anna already lived 10 minutes apart then moved in together after about a year. I would imagine given the short distances in NZ that it would be relatively easy to do a 'long-distance' relationship for a time.
