Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - S/Caps - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

AllAboutLove wrote:Based on the timeline of filming schedule, HTDs were after May 9. By May 19 they were said to be flying to Bali for F3 dates and had delayed filming (not sure how long but it seemed like at least a few days up to a week) and FRC was around June 1. Ten days also seems a lot for LCD/MTP/FRC in Bali if not including FDs but I guess it could be?

It is possible that they had FDs/F3 in Australia/Sydney area but not sure and not sure how that would all fit in in the span of just over a week (May 10 - May 18) for HTDs and FDs but not entirely impossible. If so the sports car with Alex could be FD or it could be part of her 2nd SD or mini-date.

Re Rachael: those s/caps match with the beach s/caps and were sleuthed upthread and Rachael has the camera on the beach and Richie holding it by the archway. Is there an archway like this around Perth where Rachael lives? If it is in Sydney it could also be a 2nd SD if FDs are in Bali.

I checked the plates of the car Richie and Alex are in ages ago. Not registered in Melbourne or Sydney. I will double check though

Its QLD reg [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] here is the Sydney rental company.  Its a private registered plate with 360 for 360Ferrari.

Does anyone know if Rachael's family live in Perth or regional Perth as might help solve the garden screen shot?? Have to agree does not look like any gardens in Bali that I have seen. Interesting if she is final F3 that has not been photographed by paps.

Looks like a match to me [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Will have to see if Alex's 2nd SD has a ferrari in it as that could help answer whether it is FD (and possibly in Australia and not Bali)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] not sure exactly where Rachael's family is from. Rachael seems to live in Perth but it is possible her family lives somewhere else so HTD not in Perth

[quote="Fifty"]Ok Im going out on a limb here and thinking that only F1 and F2 girls  go to Bali and not 3.  This would concur with Sam W and Sam F seasons.

I think this is a compelling theory Fifty.

I am pretty sure the garden in which we see Rachael & Richie is not Balinese.
There are box hedges, non-tropical plants and trees here, and as I have said earlier, the archway also does not look like a typical Balinese entrance which are more commonly rectangular, gated and made of carved limestone.
Assuming the filming in Bali would have all taken place in and around the resort for maximum privacy, I have had a look at images of the Sofitel Nusa Dua on the hotel website and Tripadvisor but the pictured garden does not fit the style at all.

It also doesn't really look like a garden typically found in Perth, but perhaps somewhere more sub-tropical or with a higher rainfall like Sydney. Cyclamen flowers in the foreground are a late winter plant and perhaps through the archway we can see late autumn shades?

Sorry for 2nd post but thinking about this GD description.  I think it maybe the screen shot of Alex, Olena and Richie on go carts, Kikki and Richie barn dancing and Richie kissing Faith on wagon, as googled Highland Games and states traditional cultural activities, dancing etc.  If this is the case then Alex was present on this GD so can not be on SD??

That's interesting? So does that mean Nikkis date will be the steamy single date? Maybe they are just describing the way they feel towards each other not actually meaning a material thing? Does that make sense?

'That's interesting? So does that mean Nikkis date will be the steamy single date? Maybe they are just describing the way they feel towards each other not actually meaning a material thing? Does that make sense?' Not sure LeapofFaith. I'm wondering if Nikki in the car is an extension of the GD given the rural theme however Richies shirt is different as sleuth here? If it is the description of Nikki's date not sure what could be 'steamy' in the bush setting? Maybe go back to bach pad spa? Old truck engine boils over? who knows?

Oh that could actually be the case! Also, with the kiki and richie barn dancing, Olena is also in the foreground if you slow it down since it's really fast! That would be an interesting date.

Well done. Awesome sleuthing. Saves me doing it.

I agree too that the Rachael garden shot doesn't seem Balinese but I don't think it's Perth either. Why would Richie have a camera in his home town. Makes no sense to me? I'm wondering if the final 5 go away with Richie and have mini dates, Faith on the wagon chair, Rachael in the garden, Olena under the stick thing and Alex in the tub? Just a thought

Great point, Sundy!

IIRC both S2 and S3 the F5 went away from the mansion so it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happens this season with dates in Sydney (since the new mansion is more rural)

Olena on SD1 has her tied in that manner.  Even though her hair is not that thick, when tied up like that it fills out.  Also Among the F4, only Olena has hair that long that when ties up loosely can still be that long *IMO*
