The Bachelorette Australia - Sam Frost - Season 1 - Episode Discussions - #2 - *Spoilers - Sleuthing*

@stillhoping thank you for sharing your POV. always interesting!

I will just add that sam season had early on only 10 guys... not 25. It was easier to bond after the 2 first episodes especially the david incident which solidified the bro code. It was said that they spent a lot of time body building and such and that too create bonds.

It is even michael who said at meet and greet that it was a bunch of peacocks. Nobody truly believe they will participate on a tv reality show and fell in love. They go for the adventure of participating on a TV show. Behind that, it is rare they do not have some personal reasons. I would say that it is easier to open certain doors or even any doors to find a good job. It is good on CV if the guy know how to behave and keep a good image.

So far, I saw good guys all around. But truth is, it only gets interesting after episode 5 with the lead. Then it is a small group and the relationship is beginning to solidify after the initial physical attraction.

But if the guys do not understand to seize the moment and make sure to be noticed, he is out very quickly and it has nothing to do about being or not genuine.

Sam season has been very interesting to watch. I liked sam in blake season and rooted for her, then totally disliked her during the public dirty laundry break up, and now at the end of her season, I am a bit warmer about her because I think she did good with the guys.

I have a complete different opinion because the love story I saw is definitely in the minority. But IMO, she had only 2 guys in mind from day 1: sasha and michael. Richie came later but always remained in the friend zone. And she stay true to herself and kissed (really kissed) only those 2 guys. Richie was never truly considered in my opinion, maybe too much like her 4 brothers? I think it was never a  match for her. She always wanted a more mature guy. So no wonder sasha, michael and alex were in top 4.

What I find more interesting with AU and NZ is the quality of the contenders. They all seem truly nice people. I do not have such feeling with US. A little bit more with CAN, but definitely not US. We only have to see them all after the show and joining bachelor in paradise to understand the very low % of genuine guys.

And I find this genuine quality in most guy like honey with bees. It is refreshing

Eeks, 2 episodes behind.

Caught up on Ep. 6. Here are my thoughts.

- Already knew Davey was gonna get the boot.
- Her date with Richie was cute. He's just soooo smitten with her but I don't see her quite returning/reciprocating her feelings. If he goes home in the future, it will be sooo heartbreaking to watch. He seems like a really great guy. If he is not F1, I would want him to be the next lead or my friend, .

I know!! He is going to be heartbroken. Previews show that Sam herself is choking tears letting Richie go. I think he will be heartbroken because he tells Sam he is falling in love with her and then at that RC is eliminated.

And yes to wanting him as lead. All media seem to want him as lead so the gig is his if he wants it and is single when filming starts, imo.

I haven't seen the previews yet. I'm just sooo behind .

Now caught up on episode 7.

- At this point, I can fully say her F3 are Michael, Sasha, and Richie.
- I think it's pretty much all on Sasha. There is so much undeniable chemistry with the two of them. She really opens herself up and its just waiting on Sasha to become vulnerable to the point where he's all in and for sure it will be done deal. Right now, I would say F1 Sasha, F2 Michael, and F3 Richie.

Y'all here is the finale preview for those of us that were unable to view on Channel 10 website. I don't know what to think with Sash in a red tux for the F3 rose ceremony, don't recollect anyone being dressed in that before on this show. All the guys look good though & Sam had a big ole smile on her face as the car with her F1 pulled in, I am already so happy for her, bring on the FRC

Interesting. Panning across Michael and Richie and then a single shot of Sasha. Is it possible that he gets the first rose and is positioned to the right hence the single shot? Can someone please analyse?

Usually this is the case so I would almost bet that Sasha gets the first rose. Art did the same thing with Matilda (also had FIR) going into FRC episode.

@Sundy your eyes are good girl!!!!

If Sash is to the right post receiving the first rose then the background behind him will be the same as to Sammy's right. But I can't tell if this is the case. I do wear glasses & my eyes could definitely play a trick on me easily

Catching up on episode 8.

- Something about Michael is off. He does look like a good kisser though . I wouldn't mind making out with him.
- Lol.. good thing we didn't really meet Alex's family. Made it easier for Sam.
- Sometimes I feel like Sam tries really hard to impress Sasha. I can see it.. she's chasing after him. She doesn't have that loud belly laugh like she does with Richie or even Blake. I wish I saw a little more of that side of her when she's with Sasha. They are very cute together though and she is so clearly smitten with him still. It would be heartbreaking for her if something happened between them.

Lol. That's me, picking up the tiny details and missing the big! Suppose I come in handy sometimes, must be the years I spent investigating civil disputes. Lol

oh my

we all so see different things!!!

I saw unhappy sasha at voice over "or sasha"

i did not see much of sam face at michael declaration... too obvious?
