The Bachelorette Australia - Michael Turnbull - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Based on the podcast interview, he is clearly confirming he has a gf.  Who that gf is remains to be seen... could be someone other than Sam or could be her I would imagine production has given their ok for him to make this known. There would be an underlying reason why.
A few things still make me feel Michael could be her final pick:
- date time alone with him were always by her announcing to the group that they would have 1-1 time rather than the show process of a card being delivered and read/announced by one of the guys.  The end result being their date time has been typical RL date stuff... She directly invites him to join her followed by sitting around chatting, building physicality, and burning toasties at her place.
- he is the only one so far to receive a gift from her
- he was the only one to get a GD rose which was well noticed by the other guys
- although she has physically initiated kisses with others, he is the only one she "teased" kisses from (kiss voucher x2).  Very playful requests for intimacy.
- she directly tells him he is sexy and that he is a great kisser along with a balance of complimenting him on personality traits so she has been very clear in her communication with him on both physical and emotional interest

Well said!
Lets not forget she chose him for those special times while Richie was present in both GDs and Sasha in one GD. She chose Michael.
She also said her feelings for him were growing with each moment spent with him and she liked where they were. She likes being around him and an overwhelming feeling takes over. She is herself around him. and how about that "kiss me anytime you want" voucher

key moments

- mama bear
- saying after photoshoot she wanted to spend more time but could not
- fun fact cards cocktail (1st major step in their relationship)
- private diner, first kiss (2nd step and a date that michael will remember forever)
- group diner (focus on michael, soulmate)
- extraordinary hometown, parents love her, she felt accepted naturally, love declaration with the I AM ALL IN, beaming sam who know that now everything is a matter of time

If I look at the teaser... the little nose tease is a very intimate and natural gesture, her saying in interview that her favorite in NZ was rafting. this reminds me the BABE that andi said to josh... OH and lets not forget the BABE sam said during the first part of the hometonw... not at the end, at the beginning which implies she was already in a very good place with michael at her arrival

I think she was taken by surprise that richie declared his love and who knows about sasha. From my perspective they have almost no time besides activities and a very short time to really discuss... versus the bench chat and the toastie diner that is very intimate to discuss. Why sasha repeated ad nauseam that they did not have enough time at the tango? why did he said when he got the 2nd date card that he felt they did not have time again? What happened with time spent for 7 episodes between sahsa and sam then??? And richie, adorable sweet guy, who already had a crush on her before the show, noticed her hair color change (which is weird for a guy to notice such change normally). he had a fantastic fun date but they could speak only at the diner portion of the date... and I bet the center of conversation was the incredible experience they spent toguether.

yeah... i do not see the same level of connection but michael.

Truth is, I got truly involved this time because I saw a guy who seamed lonely with all his fame and money. I saw a man who had been a bachelor, tons of flings, party a lot... but at the end of the day, at 34, wanted just to be happy.

his date said he was looking for his happiness. his parents still seem very much in love together after 41 years... what a fantastic example for him. His sister just got a baby... i think time was clicking.

Because I lived for a while the jet-set life, I know how small the circle is. I know it. So IMO, he needed a sam in his life, an adorable little prankster affectionate and pretty. At the end of the day, I see a future for them. I think the paps will make their couple stronger. He will obviously spoil her no end and in return she will give him the fresh air he needs.... and yes, it does not hurt her that he has money and very handsome. :P  

that is ALL.... IMCCO (in my cray-cray opinion)

beaming sam.... check her face carefully....

who ever described her so well with such clarity and accept her the way she is (one of her wish is to be accepted the way she is).

Why do Imget the feelng this ITM was done post filming? There he is talking about her being a prankster and caring nurturing side. I think he may have discvered those sides post filming. IMO

let me check the curtains

see how she naturally lean on his body?

it is quick but she next to him, stand away a bit when dad is talking, michael put his arm around her and naturally go back next to him

the ITM are identical as mom and dad.
we can see the same red vase and same curtains

no i think he spend a lot of time with her and because he is interested he studied her a lot in group dates and during his own private moments. this kind of comment means for me that he is aware of who she is.

oohhhhh I think she is taping something at TEN!!!!!

so THIS tweet has been deleted...........................................

well done,well expressed and well said ! I'm thrilled to know that we are coming to a close and we can finally go back to our lives . I 've been unable to step away from the computer ( how sad is that!!)
