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

Am I the only one that thinks that Nikki is F1. I'm feeling very solitary at the moment?

Nah you are not! But tell me something please. And I´m asking you because you and AAL did the early research during filming of the show. When did you find out about Olena? And what clues exactly point to Nikki as F1 and what clues does point to Olena not being the F1. I´m just trying to stay open minded. Maybe I´m blindsided who knows. I mean I felt for Lana as F1 last time so who knows

At this point I still think their interactions screams F1 but her story peaked too soon for me.
In the other hand, many signs sleuthing wise is poiting to Olena.
So I think Nikki is F1 but im not sold yet.
And my hopes and feeling of Olena F1 are getting higher and higher

No, I'm with you as well [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I think it's Nikki as well. The only doubt for her at the moment is that we don't have any screen caps past F4, but if we work on that, only Olena is safe as we have the shot with the Vespa. Rachael's beach walk could be HTD, and it might be Olena on the Bali boat, and not Alex. 

IMO, I see Alex going home after hometowns, whether or not Richie meets her son because meeting her family will make becoming a step dad a reality that he is not ready for. Rachael goes at F3, because I don't really know how she got this far! We don't know anything about her, and there is not much depth to their relationship. Olena and Nikki are the last 2, and I have no compelling evidence why I think Nikki, apart from the fact that she was the first girl papped, and it was before, or around when the season started, and its alleged that the paps know the F1.

It might be.
Moreso, I wanted to see with s/cap is associated to which voice over.
I will check the thread. Thanks

I know exactly how you feel. I'm really confused about F1 as right now it could easily be any of the F5 IMO. I guess in the next couple of weeks some connections will grow and some could slip away. Going right back to the beginning, a few girls made an impression for different reasons - Olena was very mysterious comparied to the others but I didn't see Richie react any differently to her than to say Nikki when he first met her. IMO, right now, it could go any way. Who knows.

I have a question - does anyone else think that Olena might be too young for Richie and not quite in the same place. There's no denying the chemistry that they have, but is that enough. Don't get me wrong, age has no barriers but lifestyle, goals, etc etc might. I'm not saying that they are wrong for each other, just some thoughts.

Well somebody is going to be crushed and burned and I'm prepared for it. It's not like I need to get used to it. Maybe I need to retire with the sleuthing cause I'm so bad at it.

At least I have more luck with the Ukrainian shows.

No probs. we first found out about Olenas existence with the pap photos of the girls arriving at the Bachelor Games episode. She was labelled unknown girl 2. That was in about April. We intitally thought that Megan was going to be the one but quickly realised that was not the case as she was back on SM so quickly. We knew Nikki was going to go far because of her early date and Megan too. The same with Rachael and Olena. Neither girls had names yet. The intreging one was Faith. Her date was the only date in the first round that wasn't leaked. We put two and two together that she had a date because she was still there and popping up all the time. We essentially, as names started to come to light it made it easier to work out who was sticking around. That and leaked pap photos. From this, I think from early June, we thought the final 5 were going to be Faith, Nikki, Alex, Rachael and Steph. Olena was a bit of a surprise to be honest. It wasn't until the promos started that we even had a name for her. For the record. Prior to knowing names, knowing anything about the girls I fell for Faith, was ready to hate Kiki (I adore her now) and was really bummed that Megan left. I had my eye out for strong, fiery women with killer eyes because that's how Richie had described his ideal woman. I was also keeping an eye out for anyone who seems a little bit bogan and a little bit lady because that is exactly how Rochie described his ideal woman in Sam Fs season. Hope it helps

I am with team RIKKI. I don't do the sleuthing per say but follow all year round. Based on social media and all the work the lovely people of this forum did early on I believe Nikki is the winner. This is backed but the edit for me as well. I can't see letting Nikki go at HTD. I struggle to see him leaving her at all. Her last date sold it 100 for me. The comfort and easy of that date told me everything, the closeness and energy of the scene for me was off the charts. Then the sincerity of her interview with the love eyes, done. I personally don't see the magical chemistry a lot of the posters see between Orlena and Richie. I see her as the unattainable hot her he has never had a chance to talk to before and is in owe that she is giving him a chance. I also think the beach scene with Rachel is at HTD. There is no possible way in my opinion that he takes Rachel over nikki and based on social media will be out at final 4, like predicted. But to each its own. I could be wrong, if that's the case than production did its job! Good on them.

^ sorry, I didn't answer the Nikki as F1 question. For me her position in the limo entry, early date order and initially the relentless seeking her out at cocktail parties made me think initially that the producers want us to know who she is and that Richie is interested in her. That they wanted us to invest in the journey. I think the clincher for me was when Richie said after the baby dates that he was hoping that she won spoke volumes. From there it has just grown. Richie tailoring a date for her was similar to Sam and the painting date for Sasha. I see Olena as someone that excites and intrigues Richie. He is excited by her but IMO I don't see similarities outside of the bubble. For me it's like Heather and Sam W. A little piece of me died when she was sent packing. I so wanted her to be the one. But on the outside and in reflection, they weren't a match. I don't know. I'm no expert. Sam F has been my only fave to become F1. This year my fave is going to be F5! At this point that's how I see it but I'm happy to flip all over the place on the basis of the coming screencaps

Well said Sundy
