Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - Social Media - Media - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #3

What the!  I just went up the shops to buy bread and the whole world has gone cray cray!  Alexs photos, IMO just a friend, no biggy.  Olenas, holy moley! Ummm, that doesn't look good. I honestly don't know if she would be so silly....really!....she wouldn't would she?  In public....I'm lost for words. There has to be a logical explanation for this surely!

They actually have the military protecting filming from the paps, plus there was talk of a double FRC filming in different locations to avoid paps. They go above and beyond to try and avoid spoilers. When the contestants themselves may have spoiled the finale, IMO it's a huge problem for those involved.

Yep I'd say after a brief from their legal team Ten would be talking to both women pronto.
Maybe that's why Olena's Instagram account has gone to private?
Both girls would understand the way contracts work and neither are stupid so it doesn't make any sense to me.
I am hoping there is an innocent and reasoned explanation.
Alex pics do seem innocent to me.
In the light of the finale, F1 favorited, Olena's look sleazy, whether they are or not and this is a worry.
Wonder how poor old Richie is going?

Ahaha [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] welcome the Club! Let the crazyness begin. 

Other than the craziness that is already taking place, does anyone else think that this season is odd that coming into the finale there are no articles about the F3 and Richie in OK mag, WHO mag etc, like they had for past seasons?

All the articles seem to be of the girls as individuals but nothing like last year where they had interviews with each of the F3 and the lead and going into the finale.

So has someone mentioned New Idea saying Alex is the winner and dumped her ex with no explanation weeks before the Bach app process? Or that they are saying Olena had a flirty lunch with tennis star Nick Lindahl?

Something is definitely going on. He has had barely any press? I was waiting and waiting for interviews on the radio every week and nothing. Is there some truth to NI perhaps that he chose Alex but wants Nikki and Olena gives zero f...s. Could be why she is unimpressed with Nikki and supporting Alex. Much confused......I think Im conceding defeat on this season until the show airs, this is just bonkers. This to me doesn't just appear to be the normal hype about who is the winner/loser.

Sasha said that Sam cried for hours after DailyFail leaked the photos of them in the hotel room, spoiling the ending, the night of the finale because they'd worked so hard for months to keep it a secret from everyone, including family and friends.

LOL I know they think they kept it a secret, but they must have forgotten those of us that watched it... It was no secret to any of us that Sam choose Sasha from the very first start of the show and never wavered.. IMHO

It is all very strange... Part of it feels like the usual rumours that come around this time but not so sure anymore.

If Nikki is F1 then it all makes sense about Olena and Alex but if Nikki is not F1 and someone else is (Alex or Olena) things seem really off to me

WD released both pics of Alex and Olena with guys....but folks believe Olena pics are more damaging.

Yes someone posted the New Idea coverage about Alex and her ex also.

It's just too cray cray IMO and this AU series that I adore so much is now stooping to the level of the US series with the coverage of the rag mags....really disappointing to me but more disappointing that the contractual agreements are not being honored....I just don't get that.

Tv week have an article and photoshoot of the three of them in a men's shirt and tie undone around there necks and no pants?!? Nothing interesting in it

I am just curious now about the leaked Bali date pics for Nikki....do you all think it's the same pap that released those pics to New Idea / DM? Or could it be the producers....whoever papped that scene either had some serious long range lens or was right there. I don't think drones would be in that proximity for the producers not to catch on...jmo.

On another note just to lighten up the mood here, look at how many production folks were there, seriously these folks need to call Mike Fleiss up on how to produce this show on the cheap

They were the pics that were papped. The finale was not from what I have ascertained papped. The rumour began when apparently a photog yelled out the F1's name to Osher when he returned from Bali at the airport. I saw the footage, he yelled out Padang Bai not the F1's name. Osher was papped scuba diving not the finale. DM ran with the story that the girls name was yelled out and the network ran with it. The photos of Nikki were known to be papped, the network have run with it. It does beg the question why the network has come out after the New Idea story saying he picked Alex but wants Nikki, saying the story was untrue when the same story came out about Frosty for her season but they said nothing. IMO something is not right. Does anyone remember the buzz in Blakes season, was it like this? I recall Frosty going to a club with the other contestants when the show was airing and a number of people said she was flirting up a storm with a sports presenter. Wondering if the same thing has happened here.
