Really who did they say comes f1 and 2????

She didn't say and they didn't ask. They just asked how she knew and she said her sister was crew.

Is it 2 or 3 girls that make it to Bali? If it's only 2, and Alex doesn't make it to F2 then it can't be her in Bali. Obviously, this may not be even true but worth a thought.

Everything about Olena's edit, that she has never been in love, that she didn't go on the show for Richie since she didn't even know who he was, that she has walls up, etc, makes me think that she was casted for a reason other than Richie.

I wouldn't be surprised if Olena is in the running for next Bette and the edit seems to be working in her favor to get the audience behind her especially if she is F2.

From the beginning, Olena's edit has reminded of JoJo's edit where she was hidden at first but the audience were fans of her and although she had her walls up she put them down to be F2 and then become the next Bette (I always thought that it was planned that way for JoJo).

I think if Olena is F2 (which I think she is) then she was put in that spot purposefully to be the possible next Bette because I think that position would make the audience want her to be Bette even more. The "guarded girl who lets down her walls to only be rejected?" Totally a Bette edit for next lead, imo.

I am thinking she is F2 as well.

Yes she would certainly make an interesting Bette.
And no chance of former loves emerging with murky past stories...
I see the logic of Olena as f2, but if we have Alex in Bali and Nikki F1 then Fifty's theory does not play out and 3 people must go to Bali yes?

From what was sleuthed preseason there are 3 girls on FDs in Bali this year (so somewhere other than Australia like Blake's season).

DM and other media also spoiled that 3 girls go to Bali so at the moment nothing to indicate otherwise.

For Bachie S2, the F3 girls traveled to South Africa, this was an extremely long filming season.

For Bachie S3, the F2 girls traveled out of Sydney, did they got to Tassie? (not sure).

For Ette S1, only the F2 guys traveled out of Sydney.

So not sure if they will go back to the trend of the F3 girls traveling like they did in Bachie S1 or continue with only the F2 girls traveling similar to Bachie S3 and Ette S1....i guess we will find out soon.

ETA: AAL just saw your post, I didn't know that DM spoiled 3 girls going to Bali.....guess we will find out how legit that info is when we get the final screen caps.

Articles at the time did say Richie and his final 3 women travelled to Bali, so it's definitely possible.

DM and other media reported that 3 girls went to Bali and based on pre-season sleuthing while filming was going on, Richie flew out May 19 and FRC was June 1 so unless they spent extra time in Bali doing something else I am not sure they would be in Bali for 11 days for just MTP/LCD/FRC.

Will have to see s/caps but at the moment the timeline seems to fit for 3 girls in Bali/FD as they would have been in Bali May 20 - June 1 (FRC).

Thanks AAL.

Even 11 days for 3 people is a bit long IMO. The US series turns around the FD/MTP/LCD/FRC in about a week based on Auntie's Love charts that she has sleuthed over the years.

Maybe the AU crew were dodging the paps

They definitely seem like they were dodging paps and had paparazzi problems as they reportedly even delayed the flight to Bali because of this according to media reports around that time (mid-end of May) so it seems they took a bit longer because of the paps.

IA that 11 days is long for 3 people which is why I have a hard time seeing them take 11 days for just 2 people so at the moment I think DM and other media are correct about 3 girls in Bali. Obviously will need to wait for some s/caps to confirm but it seems like this will be more like Blake's season (including intruders arriving earlier than S3) with F3 overseas.

Do you think she is up for the role? She will have the men crazy about her, but do you think she can say all those sweet things that leads should say to the contestant. I ask because I see that she is not comfortable opening up. For better lead they will be distrous I think. But would love to see he the men will have to work hard to win her. Would be an interesting season to watch.
