Nothing that they've showed us. Someone said she's from a not so fancy part of Sydney and Steph said she's heaps of fun... It's hard to determine what someone's character is based on such a heavily edited show. I think we will know how great of a much Richie and his chosen one are after the show. All just my opinion, obviously

This could be true - but IMO, Olena seems to be enjoying the limelight just a bit too much. If this is what Richie also wants, then I am happy for him. It's just at odds with what he has been saying all throughout the show.

This is just one article I have read this morning that says this "She isn’t the favourite to win the show though, as it reaches its climax on Thursday night. (about Nikki)

Single mum Alex Nation is the hot tip to be the last lady standing"

And Alex has commented "“My son Elijah doesn’t know the final result ... it will be nice for it to be out,”

Seems like that article may know something since they are saying Nikki not to win? Could be a clue that she is F3.

If Alex wins it will be a shocker for me. Also will be the first time White Rose = Final rose

I just find this all very odd - if they are now letting on that Nikki is not F1, why say that Alex is the hot favourite if she isn't?

If Alex is F2 then and the media starts saying she is possibly F1 then it would help get her sympathy I think?
Then again, if she is F1 it could be to get people behind her and accepting that she is F1?

Alex and Nikki MIA? and Alex and Nikki also the only two private on IG?

Maybe it is just personal preference but it does seem odd to me that only Olena from F2 has been out and about and public IG.

Not sure about the IG relevance but Fashionaid is a charity event hosted by the Australian fashion industry so it makes sense that Olena is there but not the other F3. It's her industry.

Alex has modeled for fashion as well (and did so before the season aired) and Nikki seems to have done so too as well as charity so I would think it would be something for them as well to attend. Plus, the other contestants at the event that are not in fashion or modeling or charity from Richie's season were also in attendance so not just Olena or Steph.

It could just be a choice that Alex and Nikki made not to attend but it seems a bit odd to me considering they are the only two have been locked down on the IG. Again, that could be for personal reasons as well. Just noting the differences as it may be a clue in the end.

This may have been posted before but I find Oshers final comment so intriguing.

Last but not least, spoil us up for finale week Osher!
​Osher: This is easily the most emotional finale I’ve ever been a part of. The entire crew was in tears. Richie is in for quite a week! ​

To me it sounds like Osher is talking about both episodes, so finale "week" so I can see it going a lot of different ways especially since two girls (Alex and Nikki) have already told Richie they are in love with him so heartbreak is inevitable for one of them and even both of them if neither is F1.

I thought we could all do with a bit of frivolity.

I can't see the link but if it is the DM article about Olena's extensions I was thinking the same thing! It seems her hair is much shorter than it is on the show (more shoulder length) so the extensions make it longer and from the back I never could figure it out why the hair looked different from the girls but now it does make sense why it was hard to figure who it was.

The Bachelor Au FB page has a post up of Alex and Olena billy cart racing date. Caption says "Alex and Olena race for Richie’s heart in the ultimate bill cart showdown"

Blatant hint?

Do you mean everyone was in tears comment? Wondering if they meant crying because the F2 or crying because it's an emotional F1. Thursday can't come quick enough.
