Yeah can someone refresh my brain on last year? Was FB supporting Heather more than Snez? How about FB posts...? I think [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is beating [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] by 0.99%

Heather was a clear favourite right from the get go on SM.  I distinctly remember us all being convinced because of the way he looked at her, sort her out, reassured her. In reality I think we knew it was Snez but didn't want to believe it because we all saw how great Heather was. She then did that 'gone fish in' thing on IG and that sent us into a frenzy as well. I suppose what I am saying it yes the public loved her, the camera loved her, we all saw a little bit of ourself in her and that's why we wanted her to go all the way. I think people are feeling the same about Olena. Just MHO

So you see Heather as Olena and Nikki as Snez? *edited* I think Olena has a bit of Snez (mysterious side/romantic connection) and fun loving caring side (once walls come down) as Heather! IMO

No not at all. I was simply answering the question about social media. I can't really compare Nikki or Olena to anyone. As for Snez I found her a bit of a snore fest and Heather was like no one else I have ever seen.  As this is the social media thread I was just answering from this angle.

Correct me if I`m wrong but so far there is no video footage on extras on Tenplay of Nikki's date just Olenas. And the most interesting thing is that the official FB and twitter account of the show gave Richie and Olena a name --> Rolena.
About Nikki`s "I have fallen in love". They are throwing so much spotlight on that it makes me think even more that it´s a perfect set up for her being the Bachelorette. IMO

That's why I'm torn between F1!

IA - that was why I asked the question and u answered the way I was thinking... I am really enjoying all the girls this season though and I think Richie is one very lucky guy but Olena is f1 IMO

Ok just read a post on fb that Richie said in an interview that he and his chosen girl have a type of 'Brangelina' name....and fb posted 'Rolena' ....ok that's a dead give away IMO

Or Rikki

Hmmmm....can we confirm if Richie actually said that? I only ask because according to the Q&A session on each bachelorette on the ten website, Olena said that her celebrity crush is Angelina Jolie but could be purely coincidental.

TY4S!....Poor home girl couldn't contain her obvious excitement . Long Live RIKKI

It is really strange to see Osher saying  that...it is odd to see how he is almost reassuring and/or almost promoting certain outcome (Nikki and Richie together), but besides the 'spoilers' , the media hype, and comments of the contestants who are not able to see Richie and Olena's interactions, I don't see a real romantic connection between Richie and Nikki. As I have already explained... even yesterday in spite of the kindness and tenderness he is not THAT into her...by the end I had the feeling that he felt trapped and since he always knew he had to give her a rose he chose that moment to do so. Obviously my views are just as subjective as other people's views. I don't need to write IMO all the time for you to know that it is my opinion, yeah?

Think about it, what is the romantic story between Nikki and Richie? What is the arc? Which denoument you expect based on objective things? Is it normal for a person to 'fall in love' so quickly, especially after being in the circumstance that Nikki was? Saying he will have all of her? Can we take that seriously? Can Richie trust someone so volatile that can go from a man to another one so easily? I personally wouldn't...there is a big red flag when it comes to sweet Nikki.

Rather than believing in Osher, I prefer to believe in Keira. Hey, it may not be Olena but that doesn't mean it has to be Nikki. Now, I even see a stronger  connection between Alex and Richie than between Richie and Nikki; and that even though I initially thought Nikki was the chosen one...I thought so, but there was no genuine development there. IT was just flat. What do you find interesting about them? I don't find them particularly interesting together. I just don't see it...they are dull together. If they are together that may be why Richie is reluctant to talk about how much in love with the girl he is.
