Bachelor Australia - Season 3 - Sam Wood - (Male) - SM - IG - Media - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers* #2

^ Why would Snez post pictures of her and Sam kissing on IG though if she were dumped? They're all displaying the same kind of social media behaviour. Now either he's still dating all of them or most of them have simply moved on after that amount of time and are now happy to remember the experience and like/comment on stuff from the show.

It really could be anyone I think which is why I'm happy I really like everyone left.

Awesome summary Natik! Thanks for taking the time to put all those points together so clearly. What order do you think the girls will be for F1-4?

Thanks!

Initially I would say:
F4 - Heather
F3 - Snezana
F2 - Sarah
F1 - Lana

but I´m struggling with the F2 and F3 positions. It could also be that Snezana is F2 and Sarah F3.

Natik ... to answer your question ... Lana works in the "communications" ... PR is her thing ... she knows how things get to be served ... she has many friends that are in the spotlight and they are happy for her having a chance (with or without Sam) ... I could go on, this is my take

... the video with her friends post-filming with the "love music" is made for who? ... if she's F1, I would presume she would make the video on her own, being all sexy for her Man ... but she shares the screen with 2 other friends who are trying to be sexy with her ... nothing that screams F1 to me. And sometimes following the guy ... who happens to be leading the show you're still on ... is just a good image-control ... to know what's going on and what's been said.

... Heather is reading comments too and also responding to some who suggested that Sam has booted her off ... it just says, both are aware of the image and want to be seen for who they are ... and since they both appeared on TV I'm sure the attention they are receiving is nice and they want to keep the fan-base growing.

... Lana liking some IG posts... like TB s/cap of Sarah - maybe because she likes Sarah among all and likes what Sam said (and nothing more to it) ... and the video with her parasailing and talking about Sam's eyes - IDK, but I found that scene nice too, so I see no big deal if she liked it, it means a lot and it shows what an awesome person she is, attentive of guy's eye-color.

...talking in present about both wanting children ... well, they do, both ... and still (it continues) ... beside, it's an interview where she has to sell her role and compatibility, so I don't know what else could she say there.

... saying how hard it is to watch it now ... well, considering she was filmed in the vulnerable state, where she had to talk about the emotions and feelings, open up about her own insecurities on the national TV ... I would think everyone would find it hard (not just F1).

...we've seen before people/friends/coworkers supporting their contestant with the themed parties, shirts, screenings before ... and some didn't make it to F3. It's why it's called supporting in good and bad. Then again ... it all depends of the intent and reasons for being on the show.

...Sam covering his face ... well, maybe he's a bit embarrassed ... and if his F1 isn't Lana then I think he would be.

I think it does not have anything to do with her work in the communications. You guys are making her the image of a robot or a cold heart bitch. She is not, she is only a human being, as we all are, who gets caught up in the emotions. In fact her profile tells us that she is not cold and calculated. And most of her friends are people like me and you. There are only a few of them who are popular. In fact if she was all about promoting herself she would constantly post IG pics of her and the show. But she hardly do it on her IG.

The video was a way for her girlfriends to show how happy they are for her and she looks very satisfied too. It`s actually enough if one friend is following him but there are a few.

Heather is NOT commenting under the pictures of the official BachelorAU account. Lana is obviously reading the official BachelorAU IG especially the parts with her and Sam.

Well she could have said for example. Yes I can see me married with children if it all works out. That`s it. It´s a no brainer.

She said she is struggling to watch Sam having all the connections with the other girls.

Exactly most of them don`t do it to the F3 or The Finale. So no big deal to support them. But Lana makes it to F2. It´s not very appealing to engage your friends to be invested in the show if she was dumped as F2.

Let`s be honest if all that signs would have pointed to Heather what would you write than?!

Awesome post Natik. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've noticed none of the Snez or Lana fans are trying to pull down Heather. The top 4 are all beautiful, amazing girls. Love watching them all. Sam's very lucky to have such wonderful options to explore.

The words "woman" and "wife" makes me see Snez as F1. Does he call Lana woman. Haven't watched the latest episode.

Natik ... I would politely ask you to not take my posts as a personal attack on Lana, since it's not, has never been and I've never written anything bad about her. (you can check my posts history)

Saying that she knows the "law of communication and PR" is not an insult or a negative remark ... it's my observation, positive one, an actual compliment to her (and her profession) since I'm working in the same field.

If you'd know my take on "image-control" and how much I like Nick (from Bette10 and 11) who is often criticized for being manipulative and calculating ... then you'd understand that I actually find that a virtue. Not being a d*** or a b**** to others, but knowing how to take advantage of the situation. I actually admire people who do it better than me.

I do find Lana genuine and overall an amazing person ... I just don't see the spark between her and Sam (and I've tried, I observed carefully their last date that was hyped to be epic-romatic). And the problem I don't see in her... but in him ... I don't see him be that into her.
Here our views may differ ... and it's OK. I'm not trying to change your mind to see it my way, I'm just saying from my perspective, everything has another explanation - if we want it.

Yes, I would probably find signs in anything if I would want Heather to be F1 - as I do.
And since there is no concrete evidence - like the infamous snapchat - I can still say that everything presented is still our personal interpretation.

So be it. We`ll gonna see in a view weeks.

Same!!!

... we will ... and here it's not about the competition and who is right or wrong ... it's about sharing our personal thoughts/opinions on different subjects.
If I'm wrong ... i only answer to myself.

It´s not a competition for me as well. See what you did there?!

I love sleuthing it`s like a puzzle to me. But my world is not going under if it`s not a particular person. I could be very much wrong. And I have no problem with that. It´s not like my paycheck depends on the fact if I was right or wrong with the F1. So yeah I´m pretty much relaxed and enjoy watching the show unfold.

Well I know the meaning of a forum but thank you for reminding all of us what a forum is for...exactly share different opinions and thoughts.

Excuse me if I've read your previous post to be a bit snarky towards me.

And I'm here to enjoy as well ... no drama, just the excitement of sleuthing.
