Bachelor New Zealand - Jordan Mauger - Season 2 - Discussion - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers*

Rebecca at this stage is an enigma IMO Jordan has a connection with Fleur, Storm and now it seems that Gabs is in the running all contestants leaving the show have listed these girls as potential winners.I think Ceri may be the dark horse (IMO). @HEA suggests there is little evidence of a connection on Jordan's part. However he did keep the big first overseas date for Ceri !!! I agree with @HEA though. However if the Fleur/ Storm are F1 is so predicable. Maybe Ceri is the dark horse or is that wish full thinking on my part. Ceri has entered many beauty pageants and this is not really shared.
Note that Woman's Day NZ have published a story about Alicia seems odd while she is still in the mansion or does she get eliminated tonight ?

Ceri's edit is very interesting but I see it more as a potential Bette edit than F1 edit. Her conversations with Jordan have all revolved around her past exes and the domestic violence she has endured. So very little about the actual relationship between them and not sure if it is a romantic interest yet between them. She is lovely though and I could see her as Bette down the road if they ever did that.

I don't see Gabs in the running considering she kissed Jordan and he made mention he wasn't going to do so. I think Gabs is friendzoned by Jordan and kept because she is great company but not a romantic interest.

With Rebecca I don't see her as friendzoned by Jordan. I see Jordan pursuing her first episode giving her FIR and then even on her date saying he had chosen this just for her and it was the best date he had been on, etc. Given that SCOUT and the show are pretending they are still filming because they want it to be a "mystery" -- if Rebecca is F1 it will make sense they are deliberately hiding her. Also, the Spinoff say she is one of the frontrunners despite little time shown so makes me think they know something and she goes far? IA with @jen689 that Jordan is interested in Rebecca romantically and Rebecca is just more realistic cautious (makes sense given what is known about her) so it will either build from there or she (along with all the non-F1s, romantic interest or not) won't be F1.

Storm, Fleur, and Rebecca are the only ones I see Jordan romantically interested in but on different levels.

That being said, it is only been episode 8 and there are 19 episodes total so there's still 11 episodes to go which is quite a lot of more single dates (1st and 2nd) before HTDs so lots of time still for things to change.  :Nod:

@AllAboutlove great overview thank you. I just noticed on Scout if some one could up load the link that Shari is back on tinder !!!!! rules her out.

Posted the link in SM/Media thread @karina

The producers need some sort of comic relief till things get serious....so IMO Shari will make it through this week as she is the funniest girl remaining IMO post Danielle's & Nicole's departures. I expect Shari to make F6 just for entertainment value.

Duncan from the spinoff had Shari in his F3 last week...which I still doubt but Duncan gets the scoop on this show so who knows.

Similar to other posters, I am still thinking F1 between Fleur/Rebecca/Storm at this point....all JMO.

Most people don't have 20 animals as pets. From what I can remember Alicia gave Jordan a purple rose, a heart shaped letter/questionnaire and a stuffed animal. She's quirky/different from the other women. Maybe that's why Woman's Day did the article. They could have waited until she was eliminated to publish it. Perhaps their intent was to draw attention to the show. My prediction for the next two episodes: Alicia and Erin don't get roses JMO

That's who I'd pick for elimination too!

I'm really looking forward to watching tonight - it will be interesting to see how he handles Naz and if we see that shot of them walking along the hill that was shown on Scout.

I'm also hoping we see more of Rebecca.

I honestly fail to see why Rebecca should be F1, why you think she is F1 and prods are hiding her? Do you have clues? What makes her date different from Storm and Fleur?

For me the obvious edit is Fleur. She has the Emily vibe edits: always sweet, lovely, kind, bachelor looking for her in group and RC. On top of it, she is extremely adventurous (Masaï Africa trips) and Jordan was totally in awe with her.

Storm is also top list and Jordan seeks her too. The only difference is the edits. Prods make her look more jealous. I must say that I totally forgot who is Storm besides having both same values and they kissed at the cocktail party.

Rebecca after 8 episodes, besides her single date, I see nothing special. The kiss at the end of the rainbow fair was totally staged... right under the banner... like a fairytale kiss. Nobody kiss at this precise place IMO. Looked very producers oriented to me: "hey guys, it would be nice to have a thankyou goodbye kiss there... you are both actors, that should be easy right?" (ok the last part was mean but we know prods are manipulators to the core, so I would not be surprised.)

Do not get me wrong, if he picks Rebecca, good for him. They are both in the business so it will ease their relationship. But so far I see no vibes from rebecca, and a vague interest from Jordan. If they did not had this date, I would not even remember Rebecca's name to be honest.

I am truly fascinated to read your comments about why Rebecca besides being a nice girl like the others.

@HEA I think most folks agree that the clues from the show's edit are not in favor of Rebecca so far.

The spinoff TV who podcasts the fantasy suite has intel on the show & they pretty much broke the news that Jordan was the bachelor when it was still hidden. The spinoff has placed Rebecca in the F3 so that's why a lot of us believe that Rebecca still has a chance at F1 albeit with a very hidden edit. Also Jordan has posted a pic of himself & Rebecca on their Rainbow date....could very well mean nothing but those are the clues in favor of Rebecca so far. Obviously the spinoff could be dead wrong about Rebecca even making it to F3.

Regarding the edit I think most of us agree it's in favor of Fleur for now though as I have stated before I don't get that Jordan is very gaga over Fleur yet....maybe Jordan will let his feelings known & we can pick up clearly who the F1 is in the next couple of episodes....all JMO.

Thank you for this explaination Mercieme!

It is very hard for me to read Jordan and the women so far. They are all very reserved people and they are dating slowly with cautious words (which is great do not get me wrong!).

Maybe because I saw from the start in the montage this white-blonde girl in the sea kissing Jordan and immediately spotted Fleur being the only white-blonde hair girl and focused more on her? My eyes also immediately focused on a dark brunette and my eyes also spotted Storm.

it will be interesting if Rebecca is F1 to see how they will show us their love story indeed

Hi, and thank you for having me! I would also like that!
Imo I think Rebecca is the lead.
imo I think Rebecca wins because I heard the tinker_bell type music last week when she received a rose.

What a Wonderful Place to be.
I'd like to thank all of YOU wonderful sleuther's for making it such an interesting place to be.

Imo the sleuthing is more interesting than the programme.

I'm also from NZ, my response may be not as accurate as a watcher who doesn't sleuth imo

However...
I knew the helicopter was in hawaii straight away, as i typed "" helicopters in hawaii"" into search engine.


What's up with Jordan's, "John Key" voice?

@Melissa_Jane so lovely to have join and a great first post!  

IA with you and would love to see more of Rebecca as well. She seems lovely. Looks like you are a pro with sleuthing already regarding helicopter date in Hawaii  

I have listened to The Spinoff and read other articles and they also mention that Jordan is like PM John Key and has a "John Key" voice but don't know what they mean? (some articles say he sounds like the "dad" to the girls?) What is a "John Key" voice and it's meaning?  

Awesome to have more Kiwi's on the forum and love that I can learn more about all things NZ which I find fascinating and love. Feel free to sleuth and post away in thoughts you have - all is appreciated
