Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Seems that they are changing locales:

RESIDENTS in Glenorie are in for a shock when The Bachelor and his gaggle of catty love interests move into their quiet rural town this year.

There is a lot more in the article here:

looks like it won't be richie or michael

Is this the same article that was posted in Richie's thread just a few days ago? Some members suggested that Michael is not that close with Richie so we don't know how reliable this article is. And many of us figured that, it won't be Michael because he is not liked by the crew (according to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]'s source). And I too think it won't be him anyways given how many negative news about him during and post filming.

I don't know, I think it's just Michael being Michael, trying hard to stay relevant.

Sorry if it is the same article, I didn't realise. Hopefully it is fake and Michael being Michael because I would love to see Richie as the next Bachelor!

Yep, same article. I don't think it means anything...just Michael being Michael. You'll notice Michael also says he was never interested in being the Bachelor himself in this article which we all know is a total lie so I wouldn't believe much in the article.
Even if Richie did say that to him, I'll bet Michael was the one who brought it up and put Richie in an awkward position...like what's he supposed to say? Of course he has to deny it at this point in time.
Also a good point that Michael and Richie maybe aren't that close - I remember Alex saying that Richie was his best mate in the house and he seemed to hang out with the Perth boys, Will and Kayne, more than Michael since the show ended. If he wanted to truthfully confide in one of the guys, I don't think Michael would be his first choice.

Oh Michael, Michael,Michael[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh wow - now he DEFINITELY looks like he's trying too hard

Hahaha oh wow. If anything, this tells me Richie is 100% the Bachelor, Michael knows this, and he's trying to associate himself as much as possible before the news gets out.

Michael is honestly either so sad or a decoy, and I highly doubt anyone associated with the Bach would not have anything to do with him and his carry on.

Oh Michael, you never cease to surprise us, not.
He's pathetic.

  Oh, geez. Thanks for the confirmation that Richie actually is the Bachelor, Michael!

ETA: I went to look at the post myself and he edited the caption to add a wink face to it.

It's definitely Richie, IMO. And everyone in the comments thinks the same thing and is freaking out with excitement 

How long do you all think until it's fully announced?
