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

Iam a hopeless romantic and love the natural flow of relationships. When I started this season for the first time,i was drawn in by Olena and Richie's meet and greet. They both matched with their blue on.
Both were sweet and flirty with one another.First date you could see his interest and yet her walls up but open to getting to know him. Each episode they share this amazing communication yet slow but natural.Richie understands he's been there before.What blew me away was the sqt in the group date win conversation. I saw a couple say we and us.I havent seen Richie ask the others do you see a relationship with me with a smile and say you make my heart skip a beat.At that moment when she said i must focus on what we have, i saw love in his eyes the windows of the soul. Every story must have an beginning, arc,and ending. I see an amazing love story blossoming between them.She is the one he is chasing.LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.Nothing like a lady in Red, loved that dress she had on that he gave her. She got some of the best dates as well.Nikki and his relationship is great also but i dont see that story arc being built for them,because what obstacle do they have to overcome when nikki is all in early on.

Yes, I think I read it too, or was it a video on Facebook? Was it the live chat? I forget! :S

I´m not sure but I think it was twitter. But I was really intrigued by his answer when I read that. I understood his answer that there will be going a pay day for Rachael for her snark or something similar along the lines.

Yes, exactly! I will go and see if I can find it I should be sleeping but I am not tired, I think I had too many strawberries after dinner :S

So out of the F5 and in their way to be fair can we say has been "tested" 
Who has been challenging, pushes boundaries (Richie's and hers), who has shown passion or perhaps a fiery nature, who's been direct

IMO Olena and Alex will definitely be in Bali... the 3rd girl based from other sleuthers is prolly Rachel.

F4- Nikki
F5- Faith

I can't wait to see if my predictions are true.  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

IA and I´m going with you.

F5-Faith
F4-Nikki
F3-Alex
F2-Rachael
F1-Olena

I think what they are going to do now is building up the "connection" with Rachael after Nikki`s exit to make the viewers think that she has a chance. But it´s only clever editing and not more.

It reminds me of season one Tim Robbard. Rochelle was used to cast doubt on Anna, who was similar to Olena in many ways. She did not have serious boyfriend, had her wall up, she did not open up until the very end. Rochelle who was the F2 was used to cast the doubt about Anna not opening up, therefore Tim would chose her instead.

But listening from Rochelle after the show, she was actually persuaded by the crew member to be more open because Tim actually like her. She believed them and really went all out to win Tim's heart. In the end he chose Anna.

Rochelle was emotionally and psychologically affected, and it took her a long time to recover. I am worry that they are using the same tactic this season with Rachel. I am also beginning to see that F1 is Olena and F2 is Rachel.

This has been the mode of operation for tptb even from the us the bach. The F2 especially is made to believe that they are the one the bach likes. Forget Racheal, she is not that much invested as far as they have shown imo. The person to be concerned about is Alex. She has a boldness that could I'm sure is producer induced imo.

Thanks fangirlsamuri, that's it

In the social media thread, exited contestant Steph had mentioned how a few of the girls would compare Richie or try to separate Richie as their Richie . I had a really good laugh at that especially imagining Steph's expression when she relayed that experience. 

I've noticed a bit of the Richie effect. Has Rachael and Kiki gone blonde post show?

So I have been reading in one of the other threads that Nikki is most likely F4...however, I wonder if this is actually the case. There has been no doubt introduced yet, like it was with Heather in Sam's Wood (who was F4). With only two weeks to go, surely there would be an indication by now that things aren't all rosy (yes pun intended!) between Richie and Nikki? There was doubt with Heather well before HTD's, from memory. JMO.

It´s only my personal view but I don`t saw the Heather edit as doubt. I saw it more like their relationship didn`t went beyond the friend zone thing. There was no development they got stuck. As for Richie in Sam F. season it went all down after his "joke" date. IMO
