Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - Social Media - Media - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

AllAboutLove wrote:SM media is definitely different this year. IIRC, multiple media outlets reported before the season aired that the show would be more strict with SM and it does seem like that is the case, especially compared to last year where all the contestants and lead were posting on the SM.

However it still does feel odd that only Alex and Nikki are more on lock down than the other contestants this season (although Nikki has been liking posts on public IG accounts as has her sister since one can see the likes on the public Nikki fan account for example).

If there were no restrictions, in terms of remaining private, then I can only conclude that it was a personal decision IMO. In Nikki's case, it seems like she has done a ton of media. Not too sure about Alex tho.

I agree I think that would have been a personal decision for both of them. IMO a lot of Nikkis interviews where during filming which media like pop sugar does and holds them until filming. Alex did quite a bit at the start but that petered off. So either of them if they were F1 I would have imagined would have been encouraged to post pics and accept followers as Snez did IMO to boost popularity thats why I am having a hard time wrapping my head around SM and Media this year. Somethings not right IMO.

Why do they have a picture of Olena??? I thought he was thinking about Nikki. May be he does a Womack

Even though Richie is shy and more private he still posted on his SM last year so it seems like it may be intentional considering that it was reported the paparazzi knows the F1 and Richie has not posted on his SM and Sam did last season so I do think it could be a bit something TPTB are wanting. If Nikki is F1 then even more so imo, and seems like something that, even if a personal decision, is being more private like Richie is, imo, so it could be a choice for those reasons.

Regarding the bolded: I don't think that Nikki or any of the girls have done a ton of media and would say compared to past seasons there's been a lot less media. Nikki's interviews (all via magazines, not radio) seem like they could be from one interview and republished over and over again, imo. Same for many of the other girl's interviews that are still on the show.

I know! So weird...who is in the smaller photo with Richie (to the right of Olena photo). Is it Nikki? Why hide her face if it is?

The way that article is worded suggests Richie will choose BOTH Nikki and Olena...lucky Richie
