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

From what I know of Richie I never doubted for a second that Olena would not be in the F2. She is young, she is not in a position to settle down IMO. She makes a big deal about her father's opinions are important to her, however IMO her opinion is the only important thing to her.

If she was in love with someone and her father didn't like him, I don't believe she would send him packing because her father didn't like him. She has her own mind and goes with it. Just like the bar pics and the beach pics. She could care less if anyone saw her, regardless of her contract obligations and giving part of the ending away.

Good luck to the remaining F2! I'm still going with Nikki but both ladies are lovely in their own way. Thanks for all the updates!

If today's episode is exactly the same as last year, then Alex is F1. The order of dates last year (Snez, Lana, Sarah) and the order of roses at the rose ceremony (Lana, Snez).

same here....:bigsigh:
TY for refreshing my memory....

If Alex is f1, it'll be overshadowed by Nikki's shock exit and everyone rallying for her.

You reckon they would do it exactly the same 2 years in a row?

it still remains to be seen..but i guess ive read somewhere...the sleuthers over US franchise have found many 'patterns' (limo arrival, F3 RC, HTD dates, etc) for 3-5 consecutive years before they switched up the patterns. So...i reckon its possible. JMO.

I agree with most of what you said. The thing I'm having problems wrapping my head around is isn't Richie 31 or 32 and isn't Alex and Olena about the same age 24 or 25 with Nikki being more his age?? CMIIW please. I would think he would have more in common with Nikki. Who's to say Alex isn't gonna look around one day and realize maybe Richie is a little too old for her or that the age gap isn't working? Another thing is if next season there's a mom on there aren't a lot of people gonna auto think she's the ringer because that's how it's ended up the last 2 seasons? Just some food for thought, I guess. I can see Richie and Nikki probably staying together for a while, but don't see it with Alex. JMHO

Well I watched it. Why can't they just give Alex a nice edit? I seriously do not understand the motivation here. Olena also went down in flames or maybe a blaze of glory? Either way neither of them seemed upset in the slightest which will probably pair very nicely with the agony I expect will be happening tonight. At least all three seem very happy today. I think I might stay up and read your live comments. Good luck to all! (I know there's some team Nikki and some team Richie but is anybody team Alex?)

Same here, I've also been on team Alex since the beginning (against all odds!). I genuinely believe that Richie and her will go very far, they've got a serious amount of chemistry that I haven't seen before and they were the only love story I've seen all season.

I'm Team Alex too!
