Such a natural looking shot.  I know when I eat Kettle chips I always carefully slit the bag open with a box cutter, hold it at a weird angle so the logo faces away from me, and then manage to take them out without putting a single crease in the bag

Did she have any sort of conversations with Matty today ?

Yeah he made a game - "getting to know Matty J" or something like that. It was pretty cute tbh..

I haven't seen the episode but from what everyone is saying Courtney and Matty as F2. I am reminded when G father said that he thought G was more into her boyfriends that they were into her. Maybe that is one obstacle and the other is Matty being too into her, which will she choose.

I love Matty so much - he's just the most adorable and him and George are always the perfect mixture of sweet and funny together

What I've liked a lot about this season is I can tell that for the most part the guys like Georgia beyond wanting to 'win' and finding her attractive; they seem to genuinely respect and enjoy her. At the same time, while I also like the relationship and camaraderie between all the boys - I also feel like for the most part they all really like Matty? I loved watching how ecstatic they all were when he got his first SD and how happy they were watching his game during this ep's cocktail party. Its all very sweet.

My ideal scenario: Georgia and Matty live happily ever after but they also adopt the rest of the boys 

It really is annoying we never see the relationships develop further on gd or cp. Is it like this every season? Perhaps with it being at the half point we will get to see more. I like that they do flashbacks of the prior times they had together but it's not enough.

I watched the last Bachelor season and tbh if Alex did not have the white rose they would never had shown 1on1 time beyond the SDs with her. And except for the once where they spoke about her being a mother, all the pretty much showed us was them walking away hand in hand to their upstairs room, no convos or making out which post season we heard they did.
I don't remember seeing his sqt time with the other front runners like Nikki and the F3. Perhaps I missed it but the SQT times were dealing with drama or not shown at all. scmiiw.

I too would like to know if this is the way they have edited other Aus bachelor seasons in which case i will just relax and watch it all unfold.

For one I truly don't believe that Cam has any chance of being F1 (from sleuthing + my own gut) but I think he has had a lot of heart to hearts shown since out the limo so I don't think the editing is too much of a clue. jmo.

I remember Sam W having discussions with his front runners on his season. He had regular CP chat or even GP chats with the top 4 or even top 5 regularly. And it made watching it interesting because there were a lot of relationships and the progressions could be compared.
To be honest if the guys on this season were not good looking we would know nothing about them. It has all be talks about how hot this guy or that guy is and nothing of the relationship build up with Georgia.

I think that's why I feel invested in Matty's relationship with Georgia. IMO, apart from Georgia and Courtney's weird back and forth thing, Matty and Georgia's relationship has had the most development since the episode where they had time alone on the gynmastics GD. He's gone from being in the background to speaking with her almost every episode (I think?) since. 

I admit it is difficult being invested in the relationships when they aren't on showcase as much. Just as a side-by-side comparison, I think Jasmine on The Bachelorette Canada has much lengthier/deeper conversations with more of her guys (though I guess those episodes are longer to be fair) even though that season is two eps behind this one

I agree that Matty and Gs relationship has progressed the most of everyone.

Maybe because it is pertinent to the F1 position so they are showing the relationship OR because they need to make him a viable f2.

Good episode. Queen Georgia is killing it.

The 2-1 was a disaster. Sam = idiot. "Modeling, acting, presenting. Maybe you could teach me." The look on Georgia's face.

I'm still not feeling it with Georgia/Courtney but I understand her attraction. If he was all in I would say he's the winner but he's gonna flake out on her again and that will be his demise IMO.

I think I will call Matty J as the winner at this point. Their connection is front and center. We haven't seen that with anyone else that has had a 1-1 except Courtney.

So, now I have seen the episode and two thoughts hit me (except also hooooow much I`m looking forward tomorrows date with Matty- he is so sweet and always so happy, not forgetting extremely handsome).

1) When G is with Courtney I get a feeling he is the bachelor and she is one of the girls trying to win him over. If we should watch her feet he will IMO be F1. I really don't see enough feelings on his part though. He doesn't seem interested at all…

2) If Lee is not F1, and lets face it- not much points in that directing at the moment IMO (I always believed he would be), wouldn't they try to show him more to make him the bachelor???? He is like all hidden…

Maybe Lee is not the one they want as next lead ? In that respect they have highlighted Cam way more imo.
