Re: Richie Strahan - Alexandra Nation - Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Fan Forum - Spoilers

AAL. Your sources are too good. How are you going to sleuth

  I hope they come through if Richie is the Bach. I have been trying to get info and so far it seems positive but will see. If he is the Bachelor I will try get info but doubtful since as lead I don't think anyone close to him will be giving away who his F1 is. And Richie himself is very lowkey so I think it will be a great sleuthing season if/when Richie is Bachelor

[Sundy]

Love it. Can't wait. Hope there are some nice girls for him

[AllAboutLove]

Me too!!

Thanks GA for this thread.

My, my, my.

Even though he has a fantastic body, he is so darn cute!!!

[laurarose]

Latest snapchat of his dog is pretty cute! Also, Richie said on Twitter he can help out with the Princess Margaret Hospital abseil charity event in May....wouldn't the Bachelor be filming in May
Hmm thought they'd be announcing it soon-ish if filming is in March, hopefully he's being convinced to do it!

[GuardianAngel]

Good catch laurarose. I hope filming is done by May.

I posted yesterday and then deleted my post as I started second guessing myself but in light of this I guess it may fit... I saw yesterday someone ask on SM about Richie being the Bach and if he was going to do it and someone responded (Richie follows this person so I assume knows him and vice versa) that Richie wasn't keen on it (from the way it was worded it seemed like Richie may have turned it down perhaps and wasn't wanting to do it). They deleted their comment almost immediately though so I am not sure if they did so because they were letting something out the bag or... I've always felt like if Richie is not the lead that he doesn't want to be (he seemed hesitant last year and in interviews but that could be just stalling until he is allowed to say something). I guess we will find out this month... Kinda bummed if he isn't but I guess if he doesn't want to do so then that's understandable too.

[laurarose]

Oh really? That's concerning...how did they word it exactly? Since he was eliminated I've thought he might not do it. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do something he doesn't want to just because it's expected of him - like when Sam was pressuring him to say 'I love you' he just wouldn't do it because he wasn't ready.
These are the main reasons I thought he might do it:
1. He's still single. A lot of the other guys have girlfriends now. Richie was in the best position out of all of them to find a girl but he hasn't...so why wait? I thought it must be because he's doing the show. (However, Richie is more private when it comes to personal things so who knows, he could be seeing someone for all we know)
2. He does modeling now and isn't afraid to pose on Instagram: many leads do modeling beforehand and being comfortable in front of and loving a camera every now and then is a trait required in a Bachelor. The fact that he did the Cleo Bachelor of the year made me think he'd have the confidence to be the lead.
3. He's spending lots of time with his friends - this might be a bit far-fetched but he went on a holiday with his sister and is cramming in lots of fishing trips with his mates lately...he simply might just usually spend that much time with these people or maybe he's spending quality time before he leaves for 3 months as the Bachelor. Or seeking counsel on whether to do it because Channel 10 are no doubt wanting it to happen.
And these are reasons I thought he might not do it:
1. He doesn't seem in it for publicity and this is what attracts a lot of Bachelors into doing it. Sam Wood for example had his business to promote. Richie hardly did any interviews after his elimination and really lay low throughout the whole series and even after it. He called the radio rounds after his elimination 'full on' I think and he seemed a bit overwhelmed and not interested in that side of things. In contrast, Sam Frost was talking to every media outlet that would have her after the Blake situation because she's comfortable with that stuff so that side of being the lead might turn him off it.
2. He's planning on doing things during the filming period. Like that charity event and also the swim he's training for in late Feb.

I guess we'll see...hopefully he does it *fingers crossed*

[Sundy]

Oh I'm getting so nervous. I'm crossing everything hoping its Richie. I got my hopes up the other day when he was MIA from social media for about 5 days. I was secretly hoping he was filming the promo for the bachelor but then I remembered that he often goes offline . Then I think, surely he must be actively trying to stay single for a reason, but again I think that's wishful thinking. Oh well. We will hear soon enough. Fingers and toes

[laurarose]

I took that absence from social media as a good sign - Richie was in Sydney 5 days ago. Kayne's Instagram has a photo of himself, Will, Richie, Dave, Davey, Sasha and Alex all hanging out. It's definitely in Sydney because the next day Dave and Sasha were checking into Bondi, Sydney and they all post regularly around Sydney so weren't traveling to Perth...which made me think that the gang might be giving him a send off and maybe he was quiet on SM because he was busy in Sydney doing Bachie related things

[GuardianAngel]

Thanks for the updates Sundy and laurarose!
