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

So are there two, or three women in Bali...really need to work out who the one on the boat is, as I am still unconvinced that it is Alex IMO

If not Alex then the only other one I could see is Nikki ...because only by maybe the short blonde hair and the height of the girl...and Olena seems to have the Vespa date sc?..

I think she was being honest... She said that she goes for eye contact and thinks that's key in letting someone know you're interested. It wasn't a superficial cliche to play up her eyes. To me, she'd been the most real. 

To me, what is calculating is the girls saying the things they think Richie wants to hear and also saying things that would elicit some kind of pity party such as "I was never told I'm beautiful, never did this or that and you make me feel so etc; or playing miss nice.

I love Olena, but to be honest, when I heard Olena saying that, I wasn't impressed either. Then, after I saw her later, I realised that she probably said that in a playful tone. Anyway, what she said, whether playful or not,is true: studies show that the the moment you meet someone can be decisive in terms of love. If there is a strong eye-connection (in Olena's playful words: 'attack with the eyes') a person can immediately develop a romantic interest in you. I don't want to be too academic and I don't think I need to reference peer-review studies LOL but this is not an invention.If you are single and like someone single, try to look at them directly in the eyes and smile. It may not work for romance but it will still have a positive effect and will help them perceive you as a frank, straightforward person.  It may not work for all people but it is human nature. I guess Olena knew this and has worked for her in the past. Thus, I think she was just honest.

I keep going back to that SC and I feel that the height difference is too significant to be Alex (and yes, I know there are some sc where it appears that the girl is crouching down). Also, the hair appears to be thicker. When I zoom in on the different pictures, I see more of a resemblance to Nikki than Alex with face shape and features. The hair also appears to be wavy up close, or could be slightly damp - not too sure.

I was thinking the same

I mentioned before that I played a lot with the photos using Pixlr, and even though I used to think the girl was Alex, now I am uncertain, mainly because even though I tried many times changing resolution/saturation/sharpness, etc, I can't see her tattoos. The feet of the girl jumping from the boat seem to be free of tattoos.

This is the episode thread, for s/cap discussion please continue discussion of s/caps in the s/cap thread. TIA

Thanks AAL - I just realised that after I posted my comment. Getting a bit confused!

What if Alex on the boat is home-town date?
Where is she from? Is she sydney? Cause weather was totally 'jump-off a boat' kind of warm in early may when it would've been filmed.

You're getting confused. I'm so confused I'm thinking of giving up. I have absolutely no idea what's going on and I feel like I'm missing all the good sleuthing.

To help keep things focused and make sure to stay on-topic and in the correct thread:
- Episodes and anything relating to the episode (description of episodes) discuss in Episode thread
- S/caps and discussion of s/caps in S/cap thread
- Discussion mostly about a contestant needs to be in their contestant thread
- SM/Media discussion (articles and things on internet/SM) discuss in SM/Media thread
- Discussion about who may be F1 or in F4 discuss in F1-F6 thread
- Always ensure you are posting about contestants and the show and not other members and include IMO/JMO for anything that is opinion only
- Always have a link/source for any fact, photo, or s/cap (if it is your own s/cap post "my s/cap and from where you got it)
- Ask if something has been sleuthed already if you are new or are unsure, that way we can avoid duplicates


Tag me or pm me if you have any questions

Does anyone know where they went camping? Was it near a beach? Do we know for sure if there are any single dates on the next episode?
