*Matilda (1st intro video in 1st ep, SD ep 3)

*Poppy (only one with intro before her SD ep 2)
... Has there ever been a FRC/Final 2 with F2 girls who BOTH have never had an intro video for any franchise? I cannot think of one

Hmm but why would he say 'worth the wait' for the kiss when he's already kissed Chrystal? Unless they cut his words and put them over a different girls date? I'm thinking the water kiss is Alysha (good point about Matilda and the cast)!

Katiebelle wrote:They have finally uploaded the episode on tv3 now so I had another look at the preview for next week. It definitely looks like Chrystal in the water and its definitely Dani kissing at the cocktail party. But as for the woman talking to him that drops a bombshell. Her hair is too short to be any of the girls. And I had another slow mo look at the girls at the cocktail party and none of them have had their hair cut. Who is she? is she the ex girlfriend?  If so, that's a massive twist.  Would the producers let this happen? All very intriguing!
