The Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - Social Media - Media - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Group photo from Ep2. Interesting that Nikki is next to Richie (Snez also stood next to SamW on S3). Could be a clue...

AAL That's assuming he has made up his mind at this point and told the producers?

I saw the live stream Michael did with Tony Strugar from Frosty's season for Scoopla and it didn't sound very convincing. It was actually quite funny and gave a lot insight about what goes on during the filming and how long it takes. I have a feeling he may have an idea who it is but isn't giving it away. All the guys from the Bachelorette all keep in touch so they may have discussed it amongst themselves. Dave Billsborrow hasn't put Alexandra in his top 5 either. Food for thought.

I don't think Richie made up his mind regardless who is F1 moreso that I think the placement is likely frontrunner placement (like Sam was with Snez). Richie said in interviews regarding his F1 that he felt that instant connection and articles saying love at first sight. No way to know unless Nikki is F1 but it could be a small piece of the puzzle to add with the other clues (such as Nikki's sister following Richie after filming ended and liking pics that have Nikki and Richie in them, Snez's sister did the same thing last year).

I went back and watched Sam Woods Ep 1. Nikki has the exact same music as Snez. Alex has the same music as Heather. Heather and Alex both ended up with the white rose but not the bachie. Interestingly both Nikki and Snez were the first girls out of the limo.

Lots of similarities between Nikki and Snez in the edit and even the photo placement. As posted [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I will be very surprised if Nikki is not F1. Not getting any of the roses on night one I think actually bodes well for Nikki in regards to the previous 3 seasons (none of the F1 got roses night one). I recall Blake and Sam W last year saying that they themselves don't choose who gets the roses night one, the producers do, so it seems like perhaps Alex will play a role like Heather and be a fan favorite?

Really interesting that Faith has been papped twice, because to the the casual viewer at the moment, she is a no one. She hasn't been in any drama, hasn't had a single date and didn't have a promo, so why bother unless she goes far? The only other girls I've seen papped in their daily life, so not when they're out partying, are Nicki who is also going far, and Keira who is the villain and lives in Bondi, which is the paps mothership. It's rumoured that the paps know the ending, so they're not going to go out of their way to pap a nobody.

Have they papped Alex. I haven't seen any current pictures of her which is interesting as she seems to be the one jumping from the boat in Bali????

I don't think Alex has not been papped yet, unless it's not posted yet? Only media/SM we have of her post-show was her doing an activewear photoshoot which the stylist shared on FB (but since deleted) after filming ended and has commented on pics on IG.

Faith Accepting follow requests on IG. Bless, she follows Richie, get the feeling she may have been following him for a while though

I agree there is something a little weird about the Daily Mail articles. I am sure they know who F1 is and they would have negotiated with Warner not to disclose the outcome. They seem adamant though to portray Nikki as F1 'she slipped up' and adamant to ensure their readers believe Faith can't be F1 because she has returned to work/looked sad. If Nikki is F1 I don't think Warner would like DM trying to convince people that Nikki is F1. maybe I'm just overanalysing it though

ITA Sundy, it seems unnecessary for them to say in the article that Faith is unlikely to be F1 as she's back at work. It's not the sort of detail they normally include. If I had my conspiracy theory hat on I would say that DM are trying to mislead to make up to Channel 10 for spoiling the Bette finale last year with the pap shots of Sam and Sash in the hotel room, but that probably IS reading too much into it.
