Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - S/Caps - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

I can't wait for us to sleuth and confirm an F1.
I might go crazy if it last a whole week.

I think the producers did a masterful edit this season so I don't think we will have a definitive F1 that everyone will agree to so again well done to the producers.

I think they will release some snippets between now & Weds that may help narrow the F2.

Come Weds night though, once they show the F2 in their gowns....we will know the F1 IMO as long as they stick to previous FRC color trend

It does look like Olena's bracelet is on the left hand the way the screen cap was captured but when you watch the extended promo video in slow motion....you will notice that the bracelet is actually on the right hand & also see the lace of Olena's F3 RC gown....the screen cap is very dark (deliberately by the producers IMO) but try to slow the vid down as you watch to pick out the details.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] you are very kind. But it looks like I am not correct. I will try to see it via slow motion. Thanks for the clarification.

Great job everyone! Thanks to all posting s/caps!

Thanks [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for going back to post the source.

Thankyou so much for pointing the facial hair out Sundy... it made me go look at the preview again (and again... and again). So now I have left lurkerdom so I can post my theory.

If you look at the facial hair in the latest preview... Richie looks like he has just started growing his facial hair in his scenes with Nikki and the vespa date with Olena. If you look closely at the Rose ceremony bit... he has very light facial hair the same as those 2 dates. Now if you look at the parts from Olena's white swimwear date and Alex's date... Richie looks like his facial hair is more established.

I now think he lets Nikki go at F3 to be kind (Like Sam F was for him) and takes Alex and Olena through to the FRC and Olena is F1.

Olena F1
Alex F2
Nikki F3

I like him with Olena best. She is being real and thinking everything through.

The edit and media has Nikki just as they had Lana as F1 on Sam Wood's season. There is also a story arch with Olena. WIth Nikki, its all smooth sailing and that makes me think she isnt the F1.

Alex's edit is the same as Snez with the single mum thing but her edit isn't as clean as Snez'z and the fact that her son wasn't on says to me she isn't the F1.

I must admit that I zoned out after a few episodes because I found Richie too awkward and somewhat boring but then I realised that awkward and boring are not bad qualities especially because he is just a nice, genuine guy who wants love. His type tend to treat women the best!

So I wish him nothing but the best

Thanks for your input. I actually missed you this season and was curious to know what you think!

I was waiting for your opinion [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ... thanks, I thought you would agree since you were seeing more with Snez when I was confident of Heather still.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] thank you so much for the s/caps

Nikki being hidden from the F3/FD in the season promo is just like Jordan (JoJo), imo, and done intentionally as speculated awhile back as to why Nikki didn't have any s/caps shown for HTD or FD/F3.

If Nikki is not F1 I will be shocked as all signs, imo... from edit, to hidden s/caps, to SM on lockdown, to media, to SM activity (her sister following Richie right after FRC filmed) all leads to Nikki being F1, imo.

It's been interesting to me this season as well because it hasn't been like past seasons where I like a contestant most (Heather, and Richie for past season) although I liked Faith most I never felt like she or Richie were a match when watching.

This season I am totally [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and so it has been really a different experience to watch and all I focus on is who is making Richie smile and happy and just look for the moments that Richie is totally himself, and happy and melting and those moments by far I have seen with Nikki and like Richie has said repeatedly, "Nikki brings out the best in me" which I see as well.

IA [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I was going to mention, there were no s/caps past HTD's for the F1, during last season of the 'ette. CMIIW the only s/cap we were able to get was one of two blue suits walking to the RC.

Again IA, I like Richie. I do see the strong connection with Nikki, I'll be happy for him if she is the F1 since to me it appears she's the one that makes him over the top happy.

Who ever makes him happy is good enough for me!

That's where I am at too, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Richie is such a genuine guy I only hope for the best for him and just want Richie to be happy.

ITA that Nikki makes Richie over the top happy. That Richie says "Nikki makes me happy" again and again and he is always smiling with her is lovely to see so if Nikki is F1, I too will be so happy for him.

*snipped*

IA, that seems like a big clue that it's Nikki to me too. Olena's biggest clue is that attack of the eyes stuff. I just don't see them as a match, but I have seen Richie chasing her. Alex's clue is the fact that she's still there. I'm surprised he would take her that far if he wasn't sure.

The lace of the dress is identical and the jewelry on Olena`s hand so it is pretty much a match. IMO

I see what you mean with the bracelet and in some caps it seems like the lace is there, but does this cap show a 2 piece outfit? Is that the bottom edge of a top where I pointed the arrow?
