Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - F1-F6 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

A thread for sleuthing F1-F6!

Potential F6 are:
Nikki
Alex
Faith
Rachael
Olena
Steph/Intruder

Kiki may be be part of this if one of the others is eliminated after the activity date according to DM so she may be F7?

Bringing this forward

Is from this date

which was assumed to be the F6 (Alex, Faith, Kiki, Rachael, Nikki, and Steph/Intruder). Since the S/C from the preview shows there was actually 7 girls on the date, I'm thinking that Olena may have been the hidden girl (maybe she got SQT for winning the race?) and could potentially be in the F4.

I agree with the above

I think Nikki is possible F1 (along with Rachael and Faith)....

Today the paps took photos of Nikki in Perth and the DM posted this article [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I don't see why they would bother following Nikki in Perth unless they may know she is F1?  

We know the media is said to know who the F1 is already... but the thing is, I doubt they will spoil the F1 at least not until near the finale... because they need to get clicks and people reading their articles while the show airs so they get $$$. If they spoil it before the end then people won't bother reading all their nonsense/gossip articles as much.

What does everyone else think?

I think they will be papping the finale 4 or 3. Once it becomes clear to everyone else who they are. They would have been paid mega bucks not to reveal the f1 so I think it is more likely that they will pap a few and F1 will either be one of those or not at all. It's so hard to tell. Remember the paps followed Heather relentlessly and this threw me off originally but this time is different because they know who the F1 is

I agree about the paps with F4 but the difference is that Snez was F1 and in Perth and they didn't pap her before the show or during the show and with Heather she was in Sydney (as was Lana) so it was easy to pap them there.

The paps following Nikki in the rain in Perth though makes me think they may know something? Seems very desperate to be following her in the rain?

I think Nikki is the first of the F5 to be papped? Will have to keep an eye out to see if Rachael and Faith are too.

I think the interest in this season is on another level and the money they will be getting for papping any of the girls would be huge. I wonder if the pap is Perth based? I suppose looking at it from a paps perspective they will string out the news outlets as long as possible and send them on a goose chase too as it's worth more money to them

I won't be surprised if they have paps in Perth. Richie is there as is Rachael and Nikki who are in F5 so it would make sense for them to have paparazzi there otherwise not much media to sell for lead/final girls so it makes sense they'd be caped out there.

I do find it interesting though that they never pap'd Richie flying to Sydney and since filming wrapped Richie hasn't been pap'd at all. I wonder if the media (DM especially) weren't able to do pap Richie?

Surprising to me that they pap'd Nikki but not Richie... makes me wonder if it was intentional (to seek her out in the rain) and when Richie was in Sydney... I don't believe it was a SHV weekend though..rather that Richie was likely doing promo/ITM-pickup stuff. I recall Sam Wood said he had to do that after filming FRC and go back and do pickups.

Will have to watch the feet of Richie and the possible F1s... Nikki, Rachael, Faith, (Steph and Alex to a lesser degree) are lockdown for SM atm

This is all so interesting. I guess the first question is are there actual paps in Perth or did they specifically come there? It's interesting that they are following her pre-season too. Why her and why in the rain?

I don't think we can rule out the other girls yet so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

So far we have Possible F1:
Nikki
Rachael
Faith

I agree, TML, can't rule any of them out and think it could go either way with one of those three. Right now we only have some SM/media clues (her sister in particular) for Nikki so it may be something or not. Hopefully we can get some SM/media clues on Rachael and Faith and try tie it into the pre-season sleuthing and when the season airs.

I just watched Snez/F1 for S3's limo exit and Snez had the "Sam Frost/F1" music from S2.

I noticed that Nikki got the exact same music for her limo exit. It could be a possible clue?
