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

I agree about Nikki I wonder if she's not gotten over her last relationship or something she seems really really really quite and reserved

OMG that buzz feed article is GOLD! it's exactly how I feel about the show and why I find it extremely boring

What about Faith for F1

Latest promo on the bachelorette FB page is Alex drying her already dry hair with a Dyson hairdryer. Hands up who happy to do
product placement

That is gold!! "As a mum" Alex LOL accurate/10 !! Can't stop laughing about how that is all very true - what does Richie even say to them at CPs and dates

I know! Best article about this season so far.

My favourite line is

It seems like this season, there’s a bigger focus on the drama in the house (Keira vs As A Mum Alex, Keira vs Eliza, Keira vs Batman vs Superman) rather than actually watching relationships blossom.  

 

I hope he continues to write a commentary about the show for the rest of the season.

Hilarious article So funny and spot on!

I do wonder if changing production company is partly to blame for the edit? It's definitely more drama focused and not much of the conversations shown, especially at CPs.

Good point. But they might want to change the idea as we are seeing viewers dropping off like flies. Last Ep scored lower than an ABC show, thats almost unheard of.

Is this season airing against Olympics on tv?

Yep but it lost viewers last week to Gruen.

Is this a new thing with product placement on this show? They were forever showing Frosty getting ready with product placements as well through out the bachelorette. Must be a way of generating revenue considering the amount of money they have to spend on Helicopters and Jets.

I just checked and the ratings for Richie's first episode last week were still higher than Sam Wood's S3.

I do think the Olympics will impact ratings the next week or so.

It will have some effect, however with the time difference between Aus and Brazil there isn't much live sport on, just recap of what happened overnight here and during the day, so there's only so much they can rehash before you get bored of it!

Sorry I was talking about Wednesday 3rd August
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] It went from 819,000 to 771,000 the following night. Its to be predicted that the ratings will drop from the opening ep but the comments on SM from viewers seem to be saying the same thing re: editing they are not happy about it. It won't change this season but I think they may need to be mindful of it next season and particularly the bachelorette when the viewers aren't familiar with the bachette. Food for thought for them I suppose.

Wow, there's always three sides to these kinds of stories. It does however cast a different kind of light on Nikki in my opinion. What is her objective being on this kind of show?

Well it`s business as usual. Last time we had Snezana`s ex and Sasha`s exgirlfriend with a story this time it`s Nikki`s ex. To be honest I´m loosing interest regarding this season. It´s so damn obvious who the F1 is there is like zero suspense.

There definitely seems to be a trend when it comes to F1's and their exes coming out the woodwork. IA that Nikki being F1 is pretty obvious. Interestingly enough, most viewers don't think she is F1 atm so it will be interesting to see what happens and who is F2, if indeed Nikki is F1 like we think

Hold up everyone, we had this story come out on 1 August. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Maybe Richie picks two girls this season. The papers seem to be rehashing storylines.
