Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

The intro videos, are the extra segments filmed before the show, that only few contestants get (4 or 5) and often F1 gets one, but not always. It's the video of them in their home-environment, talking who they are, how they live and what they want. The "present myself" videos (I don't know their term) are done for most girls, I would believe, even the random ones that leave soon ... and I believe that's what has been referred to for Olena.

For clarification regarding Bach AU S4:

"Intro Videos" aka "Get To Know" videos - some of the contestants are filmed (usually where they live) talking about themselves and their background. These short intro videos are shown in Episode 1 before the limos arrive. In Richie's season, "Intro/Get To Know" videos shown in Episode 1 before limo arrivals were of 5 contestants (Megan, Noni, Marja, Janey, and Georgia) and are also posted on the Tenplay website in short video clips titled as "Get To Know" videos. In Episode 7, there were intro videos of the intruders (Steph, Khalia, and Sarah) and these videos are also posted on the Tenplay website as "Get To Know" videos. There are also "Intro/Get To Know" videos that were not shown on the episodes and they are of Nikki, Mia, and Tolyna. Out of the remaining F7, only Nikki and Steph have "Get To Know" videos posted on the Tenplay website and Nikki is the only one of the F7 who has a "Get To Know" video that wasn't aired on the episodes but is posted on the website.

Arrivals aka "Red Carpet Arrivals" - all the contestants are filmed arriving at the mansion and meeting Richie and are seen in Episode 1. Some of these arrivals are posted on the Tenplay website in short video clips and titled as "Red Carpet Arrivals". All of the F7 (minus Steph since she was an intruder) have their videos of their Red Carpet Arrival posted on the Tenplay website.

^ further to this and just as an interesting fact, Faith arrived in the same limo as Nikki and followed her out. Production sliced the intros and rearranged them

Productions usually does that to make the audience get behind certain contestants if they are seen first from what I know and it has significance.

In Nikki's case, whether she was first or just shown first, it indicates to me that she is a frontrunner from the getgo (similar to Snez).

On the other hand, those contestants who get the White Rose (Alex this season and Heather last season) I have noticed they are usually shown a bit later so it seems strategic.

If Nikki ends up F1 then her being shown first out the limo will be like Snez being shown first (same music for both of them).

Just wanted to add that the music seems the same for every first out of the limo. Even the first out for blake season and it wasn't even someone from the F3.

I don't think Blake's season can be used for a pattern since the were still filming when the season aired (they hadn't even filmed HTDs by the first episode) so it is an anomaly.

For S3 and now S4, if and only if Nikki is F1 then it may be a pattern that production had Nikki as the first limo arrival and the same as Snez and used that music for them both. If Nikki is not F1 then it can just be arbitrary and likely only because of the first limo entrance and not the person. Will have to keep a note of it when the season ends to see which one it may be...

Yep for sure.

I also noticed that the music is back from time to time throughout the meet ad greet episode and not just for potential F1. Can't remember when exactly but I came to the conclusion that it might be the theme music for meet and greet.

I do think music used for the dates are more telling.
Have you compared them this season?

The music on the dates is not the exact same as any previous seasons for contestants except for Alex whose music is exactly like Heather's and Richie's (sad piano music).

Do you think it is because this year the producers are new?? Is the music the same as the us Bach instead maybe?..

That they use the same music from last year make me think that it doesn't matter if the producers are new since the editors may be the same. As for the music it is not the same as US Bach.

Crazy how SM and the paps were not around Mornington where Sam frost lives during filming and did not leak the the final 3?

Okay so trying to keep up with the next two episodes... Nikki has solo date in the next episode and Kiki goes home? Will we get a preview for the rest of the season or just the next episode? Then who gets the next solo date? And Steph goes home? And then maybe a preview for rest of season or maybe just next week? Are hometowns next week? Thanks for any help!
