This is only my personal opinion but I don`t think the problem is coaching how to give interviews. I apologize to all the Nikki fans out there but her "sleep up`s" seems to me calculated, like she is doing it on purpose to solidify her status as F1. To me it`s more like a sign of insecurity. Maybe she is insecure while watching the episodes now. Plus I can`t remember who it was Sasha or Dave but one of them gave an interview that he spoke to Richie and Richie is happy with the outcome. But he didn`t say that he is in love or something like that. I don`t know it gave me lukewarm vibes about that interview. And watching Richie doing the media rounds also are giving me the impression that he is not over the moon in love. But it might be just me. Of course I could be totally off with my feelings about it. IMO

That's actually really interesting, now that you've said it, it does seem very calculative of Nikki, maybe could it be that SM doesn't seem to be generating that much interest for her compared to others when she does get airtime, not sure but it's all fishy. Probably insecure. Plus is it just me, or are the bachelorettes this year doing a lot more media rounds than previous years - feels like everyday theres so many new interviews about current and past girls!

That`s the right term...fishy. I can`t get rid of the feeling that something is fishy with the season.
If I remember it right it`s a normal thing. The Bachelorettes of the last season have done the same amount of media rounds.

I am just catching up and what is this about Richie with a body odour?
Is that why many girls wanted to leave?

I should add the only ones not to be papped partying are Alex, Nikki and Olena so we may have our 3 there.

Sasha was out partying, so was Sam F in Blakes season. But with that I do think that Nikkis SM is very similar to Snez

It seems the bachelorettes have gone against contract and are hanging out together as well before they have been eliminated. They have been papped partying together and they look like they don't care.  Its very strange this season.  

Where^ please send source

Anyone purchased the OK magazine that has a special bachelorette photoshoot/ interviews?

This is very interesting! Don't know if it's already been posted but its about alex and richie's kiss. A lot of people have picked up on how weird that kiss was, so it was very a good read.

Damn thats interesting, I did not think of it like that.  This whole season just seems odd and you could be right that could be the reason.  Everyone from Osher to Dave and Sasha are all pushing the "she is so lovely" angle too. He also I have noticed won't say he is in love in any of the interviews.  I remember Sam W kept saying he was head over heels in love with the chosen one right through. I'm just speculating here but maybe he was pushed towards her because Megan left who he may have really, really liked. These slip ups do seem very calculated as surely she would have learnt her lesson the first time around and been a bit more careful.

Does anyone else hope they will pull the rug from under us and he chooses someone else? Otherwise this is going to be one boring ending.

IMO Well I hope that Richie and his F1 are happy but I´m not convinced by the way things are going. Maybe they are proving me wrong.

But again only my feeling and speculations but as F1 if you are in a fresh relationship and all is butterflies and rainbows you basically don`t give a damn about the edit of the show or the comments on the social media. Most of the F1 don`t feel the need to "sleep up" because they feel secure in their relationship with the Bachelor. Most of the time they usually having fun to lead the viewers on in case of who the F1 could be. In Nikki`s case I get the vibe that she feels the need to kinda spill the beans for her security. It´s like she needs to do it for her reassurance and that is not a good thing. It shows that the relationship is not stable.

I remember what Alyona the F1 of the Ukrainian Bachelor said in her interviews after the show was over. She was asked if it bothered her that edit wise basically everyone thought that the Bachelor chose Anetti the F2. And she said that it did not bother her at all because she knew that she is his F1 and the show is over since a couple of month and that since then they solidified their relationship. She said she didn`t care about all the gossip and the public opinion and the edit because she knew how it was for real and that now they are very much in love and everything is perfect for them.

Ok if they are final 3 I'm going to guess Olena as f1, Alex f2 and Nikki f3..... Only because there seems to be more sc of Olena and Alex in Bali ...I think it's Alex jumping of the big boat and maybe Olena on the red Vespa date? And Olena kissing him under the bamboo thing as the black shoes match the ones Olena wore on the plane?

A contestant said that. But I tend not to pay attention to such kind of rumors because some of the rejected women on the Bachelor tend to be a little bit nasty.

That is so mean of whoever said that. It seems the rumour has taken a life of its own. Hopefully he rises above it

He won the heart of Sam Frost on The Bachelorette last year. But Sasha Mielczarek may have just spoiled the ending of The Bachelor by saying Nikki Gogan is the winner - weeks before the season finale airs. In his 'insider' recap for RendezView, the 31-year-old announced: 'It’s Nikki. Has to be. Congratulations, Nikki!'

Although the I currently can't see anyone else as F1 all this 'exposure' in the media of Nikki being F1 is suss IMO or it is that obvious and producers have just thrown in the towel

Could be. Last year most of the contestants were saying Snez had won and for Bette season Dave was telling people that Sasha won so I won't be surprised if the contestants from this season have told Dave and Sasha knows who won. I think contestant alum all talk to each other and share info and as long as it is not a 100% spoiler (like the photos of Sash with Sam last year) the show just let's it go because it helps their narrative and gets more interest maybe.

From past seasons it seems that when something is obvious and the media and SM and contestants are saying the same thing about who F1 may be, it usually always ends up that that person is F1 and I think this is likely the case here, too, with Nikki being F1 potentially?

Even Nikki's sister following Richie after filming ended but before the season started and liking posts of him reminded me of Snez's sister. Also, when Nikki was the first to be pap'd (in the rain) it seemed like the paps did that since they may not be able to post a 100% spoiler so they can get away with making claims but not having spoiler info like they did with Sash and Sam?

Last Bach AU season, I think the media knew that Snez was F1 for S3 and got their "medium" who was friends with contestants to say Snez would win. So I think the media finds ways to spoil without always posting spoiler pics like they did with Sash and Sam?

The 3 intruders that will be on the show this week: Steph, Sarah, and Khalia
