Bachelor New Zealand - Alysha

For me Dani is out of the equation. She's not F1

It's between Matilda and Alysha.

Alysha is seeking attention and support from the general public. Her IG is a clear indication of this.

Is she F1? I don't know. The edit is saying otherwise. Maybe she is lashing out because of how the producers are editing her. Re her story maybe wasn't interesting in the first 5 episodes.


Alysha is projecting an image on IG that I think is one of someone seeking fame. For example she post a pic about the amount of followers she has. I mean................!

On the other hand the f1 or f2 Matilda is absent and so is the lead on social media especially IG. Matilda is kinda active on Twitter. Why is this so? Btw Art has since favorited two tweets about Matilda related stuff and re-tweeted another. This is interesting. Don't you think. Hey, he was liking a bunch of stuff on Alysha's IG. I think he stopped now.

As much as I don't like Alysha its Art's decision.

All I'm saying is run Art run. She's is manipulated and is playing the game. But can we blame her if he is chasing as she planned?

out of all the pictures, she selected arthur with his hand on her let at the family table... so maybe her point is to show the connection that the procuders failed to show us?

I am still thinking she is F1.

I've had a really good look at that picture and that's not his hand. It's her hand resting on her own thigh. His elbow is straight up and down and if he was resting his hand on her thigh his arm would be turned more, plus that hand looks too small to be his.

well. I think I was a bit too quick... I definitely saw a very suntanned alysha in her last ITM....

as I said.... alysha makes him feel like man
out of all the girls, crystal and alysha exuded maturity and sexuality.
considering that we have a good idea now that arthur is NOT a mature guy, I think she is definitely honey for him.

lets remember also that the last week before the finale is when the handlers are showing up preparing them for the medias circus...

What I remarked at the rose ceremony is poppy trying hard not to laugh when puri said that she did not receive a rose... that matilda was very caring with dani... that alysha was in the corner somehow and only smiled when arthur was in the room.... and last poppy ITM saying "he knows who he loves" and that was not a recent ITM IMO

The last 2 episodes dani is wearing the same clothes, not very suntanned and she is narrating as if she is not at all hearbroken and actually extremly bubbly.... and I do not know what to make of it.

yes. you are right. I slowed motion and it is her arm

Yes, I noticed that on the photo as well it is not his hand but her one.
I have noticed that Art is getting some negative comments about not choosing Poppy as the NZ public adore her. Someone deleted his post on Poppy's IG the swim wear shoot where he said 'Babes'. I think Poppy did this to protect him from too many negative comments. I think the only other candidate the public will truly embrace is Matilda. SM indicates that her being F1 is a forgone conclusion and of course Auckland being a small place by overseas standards I am sure that there may some validity to the rumours.
I am just puzzled Aylsha IG posts. If she is not F1 that posts are actually very sad and attempt to win some favour with New Zealanders.

Thanks Karin for providing insight as to the public backlash with Art sending Poppy packing. I can only imagine the public reaction if he picks Alysha who is still legally married. Art better grow thick skin if he picks Alysha I am still sticking to Matilda as F1 though, we shall see

He better be prepared to hide out in the South if she is the F1.

Katiebelle too funny I

Mostly a lurker here.....but I do want to give a nod to Alysha.

I have enjoyed this series and am one who  really likes her. I find Alysha bright, beautiful, very sweet, and in spite of her edit, sincere - I enjoy her ITMs. While I don't know if Art picks her (probably not given the "married" woman focus), I do like them together. There is a a natural easiness in the way they touch each other that seems more mature than observed in his other "relationships."

Great thoughts KatydidC!

Like you a few have mentioned the natural easiness that they have. I would love to see Alysha looking directly at Art while talking.

I don't think she's the F1.

However, I reserve the right to change my opinion in the next few days.
