Bachelor New Zealand - 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."

KatydidC, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We welcome all opinions, keeps the speculation very fun

Art better grow thick skin if he picks Alysha I am still sticking to Matilda as F1 though, we shall see

This is one of the reasons why I'm backing Matilda to win. I don't believe that the producers would want the F1 to be less popular than 3 other contestants like Alysha is. Wouldn't they have edited the story to make her more likeable if she was F1?

This is New Zealand's first ever Bachelor and first of this type of reality show..They want it to be a great success and for the fans to estatic and excited with the outcome. Surely they would have guided the show edits to reach this outcome.

If Alysha does win there will be a lot of very unhappy Matilda and Dani fans - far more than happy Team Alysha fans.

Maybe Alysha isn't such a bad person after all. I still find her posts confusing.


Art and the other f4 girls mums are getting chocolate.



alyshajadebrown Special package on its way to one Mr @art_green lucky guy! Huge thanks to @seriouslygoodchocolateco for hooking him up with a huge box of treats! Give them some love, my fav Southland company 52min




alyshajadebrown Guess who mumma's are getting chocolates for Mothers Day from @seriouslygoodchocolateco these guys are so generous! @matootles @therealdanigram @poppy_fcs

ElonM she is not bad, I just don't like the "Art" I see with her She brings his energy down IMO.

On another note I just posted on Dani's thread, Art commented on a posting of Dani's on IG, I think as we speculated & as Poppy has confirmed, there are no hard feelings between all parties which is good

I think that is something that nearly everyone on this forum agrees on. The Art we see with Alysha is not the funny, easy going and kind of dorky Art we see with Matilda and Dani.

He's 26 and acts like 46 when he's with her.

Thanks KatydidC no question she is gorgeous. I really liked Poppy but now I am trying to be more objective.

Alysha may be F! one can never tell where a mans heart will lead him. I wish them all the best if so.

I don''t post often but couldn't resist adding to your comments. I agree w/all the above regarding Alysha.  I am a Matilda fan for sure!  However, it's not really the Alysha I see on my tv screen that I dislike....it's the person I've come to know after reading her social media! I glanced at it week two and was so unimpressed by the overuse of #hashtags and selfies, etc. I'm afraid the immaturity & personality I saw there (real or perceived) continued to influence my overall judgement of her. I try to like them together... really I DO! She's cute and seems sweet enough...have myself almost convinced... then I look at her instagram again and...well ...what can I say?! As most have said, confusing. Sooo the conclusion I finally feel good about is this:
Alyssa is not F-1. She is just self promoting like crazy in hopes of getting the bachelorette offer. I honestly think this may be what all this crazy social media from Alysha could be about! It makes me feel better anyway until we find out what actually happens next week.

ETA: IMO (and just hoping really) sorry Guardian Angel

Great post!

When I looked at her Instagram today all I saw was me me me, look at me me me.

I don't use Instagram and thought maybe that's what it's all about - but then I looked at the other contestants accounts and realised that she is very self promoting compared to the others.

Just can't work out why yet. Is she F1 and wants everyone to back her and Art or is she F2 and wants the attention and fame to continue and possibly be in the bachelorette. However, can't see that happening. There's no way whey would have a married Bachelorette and it takes 2 years of legal separation to divorce in this country.

You are absolutely spot on treatmom4. Alysha is not F1. She is just pretending to be and hoping to cash in on her 15 mins.

If I had never even watched this show I would know that Alysha is not F1 just based on this magazine cover alone.

There are two girls in the center: Matilda and Poppy. Poppy was F4 and left. Matilda is F1. The show ends next week.

I will actually not be surprised at all if Alysha is F3.




JMOA.

Thanks Katiebelle and Allaboutlove! Happy we are on the same page and I sure do hope we prove to be right!

Logic says that no magazine cover is going to put the final girl anywhere other than in the middle/center. The show has ended, the girl has been chosen. They want to sell magazines and the magazines are in stores when the show ends next week. No reason for them to mislead at all. They are followed by TBNZ and vice versa and are the only official affiliated magazine with the show. The Bach Australia also had Woman's Day as their official magazine and it did the same thing (had Sam, the F1, as the center girl on the cover). From a business sense, the magazine will want to capitalize on who the final couple are so they can sell more magazines when the show airs with the couple on the front. It won't be a surprise if they have already photographed the final girl and the lead for a cover story.
