No. Last year they only had single date from Lana when she was an intruder.

This year I think things have changed because Richie is the first Bachelor who was a previous contestant so he is very well known and popular.

I expect that the F1 is already seen in the SDs, especially if going by past seasons (for a lot of franchises, including AU) where the F1 gets the 2nd SD.

Not sure but he has said in one interview he likes blondes but seems to care more about personality over looks if going by what has been sleuthed about Richie and what Richie has said in interviews, etc. He's said his type is someone who he can get lost in conversation with and  someone who is probably a bit like Sam Frost and a bit dorky and doesn't take themselves too seriously and has fun and adventurous/sporty like he is.

This is what he said and was written about Richie in his bio when he was a contestant for Bette AU S1

This Bachelor’s love of adventure sports led him to leave a job in real estate and climb to new heights as a professional abseiler. After experiencing the highs and lows of love in previous relationships, Richie now knows what he wants. Engaging and warm, he is hanging out for an outdoorsy girl who he can share a laugh with and to find new adventures while travelling.

Describe your dream date.

Getting lost in conversation to the point where you look at the time and its 3am. The kind of date where you are so caught up having fun with each other you lose track of time.

Thanks AAL, that's good to know that he's not all about looks.

Not sure what's going on with how the girls are looking from the images found or framed for this season. Sorry, but most of the women from various angles looks more masculine than Richie IMO

Yeah, IA that some of them look a bit masculine/rough looking. Hopefully it's just due to the photos leaked and them not looking so good because the girls look a lot better on the SM so will say.

That being said, I think Richie will likely choose someone whose personality outshines their looks - kind of like how it is with Richie.

Saw this posted by Osher and he knows the guys name taking his photo and tagged @diimex in his caption so I think it is pretty much official now that Diimex may have a contract or something to do BTS and media photography for the show which is why they have so many pics many of which are on set. Then again, they could be just paparazzi company but thinking it may be more official - even if it is annoying to be stalked as Osher is at airports.

Yeah Blake the Fake needs to just go away. Richie's time to shine.

I do like what Osher said in article:  

“We were all sitting around having a lot fun,” he said, “there was a group date going on, lots of laughs going on with Richie and the ladies and the text came through (saying) ‘Blake and Louise broke up’”.

That bodes well that there seems to be laughs and happiness on the group date with Richie and the ladies.

I am looking forward to Richie's season and think it will be nice to watch a lead who doesn't take himself too seriously but takes relationships seriously. Richie's always reminded me a bit of Art Green Bach NZ S1 in that way (is a bit of a dork, doesn't take himself seriously but still romantic at heart) so if he is a lead anything like that that bodes well for him, imo  

Yeah great to hear that there's lots of laughs happening during the dates! That's something I've noticed from all of the diimex pictures as well - there's a lot of smiling and laughing which is nice to see. I'm wondering if the photos will stop after a certain point - producers might want to leak the first couple of weeks to gather interest and get people talking and then they could stop leaking as much information, otherwise the whole show will be spoiled.
I think we haven't had as much information leaked this week because of the Blake/Louise situation, as they probably don't want to associate Richie and the Bachelor franchise with that whole mess in the media. Or producers could be at a point where they're being more selective with what gets out as they reach the half-way mark of filming.

I thought this was lovely of Laurina from S2 to say about Richie as the Bachelor.  

EXCLUSIVE: 'Richie would make an awesome partner!' Laurina Fleure gives new Bachelor star Richie Strahan her tick of approval
9 April 2016

He's set to romance a bevy of beauties when The Bachelor Australia kicks off later this year.

And Richie Strahan has now got the tick of approval from former star of the show Laurina Fleure.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the Longines DolceVita Asia Pacific Launch in Sydney on Friday night, 31-year-old Laurina from Blake Garvey's season of The Bachelor said Richie would 'make an awesome partner for anyone'.

'He's gorgeous,' brunette beauty Laurina admitted.

'I mean he's really down-to-earth and he seems like an honest, loyal, very devoted potential partner. I think he'll make an awesome partner for anyone,' she continued.

It's his birthday today! Hopefully he was able to spend it with some of the girls he likes

Happy 31st Birthday to Richie!  (April 21) I wonder if he got to celebrate while on the show? Maybe a small party for him or maybe one of the girls may do something if they like him and it may be shown on the show? That would be so sweet if so and great to watch

Happy belated birthday Richie! It would be interesting if they did incorporate his birthday into the show, for example if he has to choose a girl for a date or SQT on his birthday she would have to be considered a top contender because you wouldn't want to spend your birthday with someone you weren't that keen on....
