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

During the sqt with Olena, did anyone see Richie scoot closer when he gave her the rose? Homeboy was ready for that kiss when he presented the rose.

Going back to Steph's interview (so many nuggets) she said the producers ask her if she wanted to kiss. I guess they also script the kisses. Looking back if I recall the kiss with Nikki when he took her away for sqt appeared that way IMO

He is also constantly trying to pull her closer to him with his hands.

From memory, didn't Richie get his date quite late? He just wasn't able to catch up in Sam's heart as she had already fallen for Sasha? This is obviously not the case for Nikki and Richie, who shared the first date, then had another where there feelings appeared to grow IMO.

Can't wait to see the HTD's though!

IMO for Sam it was love at first sight as remembered her first few discussions with Sasha she kept blushing and I think told him that she was nervous around him. Had the butterflies. JMO09.04.2016

I guess everything is pointing to Olena being F1

*EDIT* he could barely touch her when they kissed.  His hands were moving like he was looking for somewhere to place then so long as it was not on any part of Nikki *IMO*!

That is not what I saw. He took her in his arms and kissed, whilst dancing and touched her throughout the date. This forum allows people to have different views and opinions. This is obviously all JMO.

IA with the last comment in that he was constantly touching her.  He doesn't touch her face when they kiss but IMO it's all in the editing and what they choose to show.  They could keep kissing more passionately after.  Who knows.

I think what people are forgetting is that Richie could actually have strong feelings for more than one girl. That is why different people are seeing him being into different girls. I just don't think it is constructive to devaluate what others are seeing, or feeling. Also, we must also remember that editing plays a huge role in how we all perceive the individual interactions between Richie and the girls. I believe this forum is based on mutual respect for individual differences and opinions.

I really enjoy reading all the different views. I was on Nikki but now I had my doubts. I am waiting to see more screen time to see who will be the F1.  
At the moment I agree with those who see the beautiful love story blossoming between Olena & Richie.

I think this is probably right as that's how it appears to me as well.

I just watched Nikki and Richie's last SD and OMG, I melted again.  There's definitely something going on  there.  He says a lot of lovely things about her as well as to her in a really tender, genuine way.  Plus he seems to be so happy and relaxed with her. That's how I see it.

IA that's what I see as well.

It's interesting seeing everyone's POV....I watched it again as well and I found really heartwarming when Nikki said she doesn't want to live life with regrets and is just so open with him... That takes some guts, but then I found interesting how Richie responded, he said something about a life and all "he sees is a future with nothing but roses" And some other stuff after but that wording was either IMO a hint for her that he is falling for her too or something to just keep her hopes up...I don't know ... but then she said thank you (so that made me think well she def believes what he said was he is falling) ....though I still believe Olena is f1 jmo
