Bachelor Australia - Season 3 - Sam Wood - (Male) - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

I just hope Sam really did take it seriously. But I am just hoping. For me, what makes me only hope is that if he chose Snez, and is taking Eve into consideration as well, I really don't get how Sam has been enjoying watching the show and playing the media the way he has so jovially for 4 long months. My logic tells me I would pull a Kaitlyn immediately instead and make it about my F1 for as long as I can for 4 months, rather than have fun with misdirecting. But that's just me.  

AAL... have you guys thought that these misdirections are intended to cover up some slip up.

^ I did think that for a while, but the problem I have is that Sam was acting this way in the media before the slip up.

If anything, his behavior (defending Heather in the media, posting a photo of himself with food in his teeth like Heather, and so on) seems to indicate he is not misdirecting to cover up a slip up since he was doing those things all along.

Why he has done these things? I don't know... maybe it is just this connection he has with Heather which he said in an interview was "a mutual light bulb moment"... maybe it is b/c he still talks in terms of "we/us" and "Heather and I"... but for whatever reason, he has only fed the F1-Heather idea, imo, because of these things. And yet, "just a mate/friend" and the s/caps suggesting she indeed leaves F4.

So unless OK mag is correct that Heather has been a cover up for Lana, then Sam just defended and supported Heather post-show for some reason that doesn't align with her being F1 which means he must still really care about her enough to risk people commenting and posting about why he has done such.

I guess the next few episodes may reveal to us why this may be the case...

AllAboutLove wrote:One thing I know: media, SM, contestants, edit, etc, can misdirect but the s/caps/photos never lie.

This means, as was sleuthed early on, that we have s/caps unaccounted for that place Lana, Snez, and Sarah at possible F3 and Heather as F4.

Out of these 3, Sarah was back on SM and tagged in IG out and about with the other girls on May 16 in Melbourne and Lana was back on SM and tagged in IG with her two BFFs in Sydney. Only Snez was not tagged or back on SM or tagged around that time.

Considering that FRC was May 14, I am still of the mind that F1 is either Snez or Lana. I don't believe Sarah is F1 considering how she has even come out in the media saying she and Sam are on different pages when it comes to having children. She is also friends with the psychic who has not placed her at F1 position. And while the psychic can be argued against, it bears noting that b/c he personally knows the contestants (at least in F4) that he is likely also thinking that F1 is either Snez of Lana and has some inside info that allows for him to make this "prediction" about the past.

What if s/caps are controlled and allowed to be shown only those that would not give away the winner. Those scenes that were so obvious (like they used to be earlier on in the show) were cut off, that they did not make it to being s/caps at all. This is to cover up a slip and therefore to keep viewers continuously guessing or else they will not have thrill to watch the ending. JMHV

I know some of you will sad I am crazy or in denial. I lost hope last week but now I am more than confident that Heather is the winner.

I may be clutching at stream here but I just found an eco retreat in Perth with private jacuzzis that look very similar to the one featured in the SC for Snez and Sam. Here is a link to the resort:

Sorry I have no idea how to post the pictures but you can see them on google images.

Also have any of you seen the date with the white sports car featured in the preview of episode 1?

and as long as your message is the last one in the thread, you can always delete it too, clicking on "X" near the edit.

Good thinking But was this the one you saw (it's the only one that popped up for me on google images)?

Because I don't think that's the one Sam and Snez use. Theirs is brown and in a room with black walls if I recall...

I think the moment they brought Sarah to the front, by giving her the 2nd SD of one short afternoon and then the 3rd SD with a gift ... they aka TPTB (and not Sam, because although he has no objections, the calculation when certain dates occur is done by the producers) ... put the spotlight "back" to Sarah who didn't have much screen-time (importance) since the 2nd episode - their 1st SD. So by focusing back on Sarah ... they gave her the spot in top 3.
The numbers of dates don't matter, what matters is the connection that can be hidden or not, but in those minutes that are shown, it has to be present.

Snezana's story is also an interesting one and I don't see Sam turn away from it so soon, not before Fantasy date, because I don't think he would eliminate her after visiting her family with an excuse that he can't accept the responsibility of her daughter, since that would look bad on him ... and TPTB makes sure that our Bachelor is always the nicest guy, so he must take her further at least for an episode and then give another excuse why he doesn't feel it (if he has one ... and if he really doesn't... since I'm not sure).

So yes, right now I do see reasons why he could let Heather go ... a lousy reason if you ask me, but I'm sure the edit will make it look all reasonable and highly gracious of him, just the way they made him look good when Bec or Jacinda left.

ETA: As for Lana, the excuse could be (and in case she's not F1 - will be) that there wasn't much time ... so conveniently ... and he developed stronger connection before - nobody gets hurt.

Now to see how Sam gets rid of Heather since those where her words to him, that he would have to get rid of her. This has been re-emphasized again and again.

It's why I don't see Heather leaving on her own and why I think she (and the audience) will be blindsided. Everything is indicating this is what will happen. So I do think Sam will feel the backlash but by FRC he should win the audience over again and TPTB make sure their lead is justified for what he has done.

If not, then TPTB wanted to throw him under the bus for some reason. And if so, then it may be like K's season where that seemed to happen to her. I will have to wait and see where TPTB for the Aussie production have taken their third season before I give them 100% benefit of the doubt.

OT

Thanks to those who have been around, and take the time to help others.

If your post is not the last one, you can't delete it?

GA - well, if the post isn't last in the thread I can delete the message by clicking on the *edit ... but the space remains - an empty post - that's what i meant, while if the post is last, it's deleted with no trace ... Or is there another way (I'm still figuring out some things)?

My screen is different, so I see different options. I never knew that a post couldn't be deleted if it wasn't last. This answers my own question which I would say to myself over and over, why people just don't delete instead of typing "delete" in the post. I will have to play with it and see if there is another option. Thanks!
