The Bachelorette Australia - Richie Strahan *Sleuthing Spoilers*

hahaha @in_denial that is too good.

I think it depends what he means by "briefs". Most times briefs for guys are like those shorts (boxer briefs) rather than tighty whities or y-fronts.

Someone needs to clarify this with him. If he is a 'tighty whitie' or y-front dude then he has killed the 'lady boner'.

Richie for the win! Liked him since pre-season!

Love this! I loved Richie's intro and him abseiling/climbing the wall and showing his real life. And his real car. This is his car that he has had for a while and was on the show.

I think that is what I loved about Richie when he met Sam. He told her he was a rope access technician and when Sam thought this was quite something he was like, no, not really. He seems to have a really good head on his shoulders and no ego at all.. very grounded guy.

Can Richie stand out from the crowd and sweep @Sam_Frost off her feet?

Guysss.... Richie!!!! Look at how he is looking at Sam.. He's in love!!!
Awww... if he is not F1 I think he will be heartbroken.
I will be (even though I will be happy for Sam).

I also love that Sam is not wearing makeup with Richie.
It shows she can be her real self with him and he is looking so smitten with her this way.
So adorable!

ETA: Video clip of Richie when he is with Sam and in VO says, "Every time I am with you, I am happy, I can't stop smiling."
This is the last VO by a guy on the Season Promo (Snez was last VO in Sam Wood's Season Promo).

After watching both episodes and taking s/caps of Richie, I think I get why I like Richie even more.
Richie's the only one so far who is really crushing on Sam.
While I think Sam is crushing on Sasha, Richie is all about Sam.
He zooms in on her and looks in awe a bit of her.
I think Sam is Richie's perfect type/girl...  
... "a bit lady and a bit bogan" as he said and also like he has said b/c she is the real deal and legit.

Richie in Ep 2.

1) I really think he was hoping for a single date and if not that then the SQT on the group date and b/c he got the first rose at the Ep 2 RC, I actually think he was meant to get the SQT but b/c of Drew that didn't happen.

2) Loved when Richie was like "Boys, serious question... what colour is Sam's dress tonight?" and then everyone guessing and Richie says, "I hope she's wearing blue it'll match me". And his expression when he saw Sam walk out after guessing about her dress and hoping she would match him and he is like, "Wow" and his head is craning forward.

3) When Richie jumped off the cliff and said "Sam, this leap of faith is for you" and he blows her a kiss when he jumps off (he blew a kiss 2x). Too cute!!

IMO, Richie has a major crush on Sam.  
I see Richie falling for Sam hard and fast.
If he is not F1 he will be devastated the most, imo.

I haven't watched the second ep yet but I think that's so cute he blew her a kiss haha

He's crushing hard. If he's not F1 I don't want him as the F2. He will be heartbroken. He's already falling for her.

To me Richie has the 'it'.

Not so sure about Sasha as yet. Seems like a smooth operator.

Yup. Richie has "it".
I noticed even on Ep 1 he was always looking at Sam. Fixated on her.
Richie just can't take his eyes off of Sam. Even when he is jumping off a cliff he is looking at her.

I've been going through s/caps for Ep 1 and 2 of Richie and will post later but there's a lot there.
In Ep 1, Sam walked to Richie and couldn't keep her eyes off of him in a group in Ep 1, she was locked in on him.
Later, during CPT, she also asked Richie how he was doing, if he was fine during first cocktail party time (so checking up on him).
On Fitzy and Wippa when they asked who was the best looking and like "Boom!", Sam said Richie and that photos don't do him justice and he is a babe. At beginning of soundcloud interview Part 2 here
I also noticed Fitzy and Wippa, when they played pin the rose on the photos game with Sam and she was blindfolded they switched out the photo of Richie so that it was closer to where she may pin it.
This may tie into the tweet F&W sent out about Richie winning and Sam's brother fave-ing the tweet.

The thing that gets me with Richie is you can actually "see" him fall in love.
Guys are like that. It's written all over their face and it is written all over Richie's face.
He must have fallen really hard for Sam. If not F1, I hope he gets let go early and is next Bach lead.
