So the question remains, did they learn their lesson from last season and give the F1 a favourable edit and in turn be the crowd favourite or have they gone with my theory above and have the F1 edit as sub par to F2. We will just have to wait and see.

Great posts @Fifty and I agree with your thoughts re: the press/DM already having had their 'leaked' photos on file for a while and releasing them in stages, IMO either via agreement with Ch 10 or on their own schedule to maximise sales/page views. It'll be interesting to see what comes out in the media next week.

Re: making F1 look sub par – Matty has been given a Golden Boy edit to date so I don't think he could be seen as second best in anyone's eyes if he's F1, and I imagine this week's episodes will bring Lee's story home equally strong.  We were shown their immediate connection and have seen him struggle with insecurities since then - the time is right to reconcile those two storylines into one big romantic, swoon-worthy episode.  I suspect it will just end up looking like she has two incredibly above-par options.

I do now think Courtney will make a re-appearance but can't for a second see him being F1 - I seriously think they'd need to leave the country if that happened!  More likely IMO he will serve as a (sub-par) contrast between what she thought she wanted at the start of the show, and the person she choses at the end, be it Lee or Matty.

Spot on @Bobette  Im about to post some articles in Matty's thread.  They are all suggesting he is going to be the next Nikki.  So interesting to see what happens but if they dont start ramping up Lee's story they still may end up with some backlash and lost viewers for next season if you have a look at the articles.

Yeah, the Matty/Nikki comparisons are pretty apt and IMO another indicator he's probably not F1, but they still have enough time to hammer home Lee's story, and it will be fresher in viewer's minds, which will flow through smoothly to him 'justifiably' being crowned F1 (if that's the case), thereby avoiding major backlash (plus, Lee ain't no Alex!).

Fans of Matty J (incl, ME) will be disappointed, but I think the attention will pretty quickly turn to whether he'll be Bach '17, and a whole season of Matty J could be even better than having him F1 for some fans. ps I also noticed in today's media that Nikki's out and about in Bali - warming things up for the announcement that she'll be Bachette '17 IMO.

If Matty is F1 then it could be that they push that he may be another Nikki but the audience gets a surprise and so the show is redeemed after Richie's season.

yes this could work either way.  Interesting that is a DM article that seems to have printed first, so my theory is the producers are feeding them the story they want viewers to see, which ever way that may be.
