So now it all seems but confirmed that Faith baby is out next Weds....that will be a real heart breaker to watch. I wonder if that's why she has kept to herself, she said in an interview that she hasn't really kept up with the other girls. I just hope she is ok but looking forward to her exit interviews.

ETA: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], think they kept Olena's caps out to show doubt that she made it to HTD, jmo.

Yeah, it seems that Faith will be send home. I think she was friend-zoned. Richie didn't really plan a romantic date for her. which in my opinion meant he really didn't see a romantic future with her. They look like they could become great friends. Faith is the quintessential Queenslander: she is very likeable, and spontaneous. Her sunny personality is as sunny as the Queensland weather! :cutesmile!:

By the way, I am wondering if Olena's family will be willing to meet Richie....

Some of the sleuthers here already predicted Faith being out at F5. IA with you regarding the friendzone, I was just hoping that the producers will engineer the outcome in such a way that Faith will make it to F4 so she can get to audition for the next Bette, maybe the Aussie public can get behind her and make it to still happen and IA with you regarding her sunny personality.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] posted that Olena's family will be tough at the HTD with Richie, should be interesting though like you said since they were not fans of her going on the show to start out if they will even show up to the HTD and could be just her friends, next week Weds/Thurs episodes will be quite telling IMO.

I just thought I should add something regarding the HTD screen caps. I think the guy with the bushy eye brows is Alex's brother.

If you go to the Bachelor AU FB page, there is a photo of Alex from 19 June, and underneath there's a comment about Alex looking transgender. Under that there's a comment from a lady saying she's Alex's mum. If you go to this lady's (public) FB profile, you can see that her profile pic includes a guy that to me looks like the bushy eye browed guy in the HTD preview. There are also pics of the brown haired lady sitting at the same table as the bushy eye browed guy in the HTD preview.

Just adding a screen cap from the FB Bachelor AU page: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I don't know why I think the blond lady is Olena's mum...just the expression and the round face. Also, she looks a bit like Julia Khamula, but I may be completely wrong. I don't find many similarities between the blonde lady and Alex. I even thought this lady could be Faith's mum, but I find the redhead lady similar to Rachael, but I can also see ceurtain similarity with Alex... I am quite confused!

Just popping in to add...FYI pictures of Olena' s family ( mom, dad & sis) are posted in the Olena thread by Natik! Based on those pics.. neither of these women are Olena' s mom. Sorry I don't know w how to bring it over. Hope that helps. Carry on! I'm enjoying everyone's comments/observations.
Just doublechecked...pics are on page 2 of Olena' s contestant thread:handwave:

I just went and checked....

By the way, my theory of the 'looks and ancestry' still worked. Josephine Bastone (Alex's mum) has Italian ancestry and she mentions Italy in one of her posts. Alex's brother (is he her brother) looks Italian/Spanish/French. Australia has many people of Continental origins

Do you think that the redhead lady could possibly be Olena's mum but older? I think this is what Mercieme suggested...am I correct, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ? sorry if I am repeating myself...it is difficult to follow all the posts

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], speculating the red head lady to be Rachel's mum only because of that door cap that was speculated as Rachel...the doors seem to match IMO.

Also I just went and looked at Olena's family pics that was posted in her thread and her mum looks way younger than that red head lady IMO.

I don't know if Faith is as popular as Nikki and Olena are, and one of them will lose, which means that one of them may become The Bachelorette in 2017. Obviously, the chosen bachelorette needs to be single and  if they are single they may not want to be  the Bachelorette. Alternatively, the producers  may prefer someone new.  To be honest, I am not sure if Faith is what they have in mind, but she is very relatable, and since Richie is the quintessential-average nice Australian guy, It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted our average, Queenslander, bubbly  girl as The Bachelorette, so Faith may have a go. Richie is likeable because we all have friends like Richie, he is not an exception, he is real, he is the rule. The same happens with Faith. She is the friend that we all in Australia have or have had. She is simple and grounded. Both Richie and Faith are very Australian and none of them is embarrassing, so yeah, Faith may still have a change JMO

I agree with Natik. I do have Australian friends of Eastern European and Russian origins. One of my best friends was born in Russia. Her mother is a good friend too, and yeah, when it comes to relationships they are very serious. I have the feeling that Olena's parents will be very inquisitive and direct. He is going to need good responses...that if they receive Richie! :S  JMO

The s/cap of Richie and Olena walking out through a doorway, was that could that be a part of her HTD? Richie is not wearing a tie nor is he too formal.

I can't bring it over, but there is a photo of Richie coming out of the bachpad doors in the screencaps thread, and the handles are different. So this is likely a HTD or even in Bali.

I think this is the mystery door, going by the lock and similar style as the bachpad door

Because if they were including Nikki's date from the previous episode,  surely the description would say only one more lady will be lucky enough.

I think there's a possibility there is another single date, either Rachel with the camera, or the girl in the doorway if it doesn't turn out to be Faith.

Not sure if this will help, but here's that cap lightened.

Thank you for the lightened s/cap grace    This does look more like Rachael to me when lightened. Looks like her hair is over one shoulder a bit and the nose and chin (more pointy) looks like Rachael to me.


IA with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that this could be Rachael if she gets a 2nd SD and pre-HTD (unless it is SQT). I think the s/cap of the beach and camera is likely HTD though.

^ Yes, this seems to be Rachael....just slimmer ,but it may be the lighting.

The doors do look similar but can y'all take a closer look at the details not only the frame. It's kind of what's missing from this pic but it is similar

IMO Richie and the girl speculated to be Rachel are standing outside the house with the door in the background, meanwhile the red head lady is standing inside....you can also see that the outside wall painting is sorta similar in both caps....kinda beige color but then it could be the lightening.

Poor Faith. But we knew from a long time ago that she was F4 or F5. She would make a great bachelorette. I'm sure she would be keen too
