And to think I thought the FRC pics is what would be released before the finale instead we get pics of two of the F3 with other guys....say it ain't so.

Photo 1 she is leaning on the table with her arm across her body. Beer looks full so may have just sat down. Photo 2. same stance and beer still full.  Talking closely which in a noisy environment is "normal".  3. "kissing" imo looks like she pulls back and who is to say it is not a quick kiss on the lips between long time friends.  imo if was more passionate the photographer would have a different photo. beer nearly full.  photo 4 arm wrestling could be anything.  beer half full.  Insert photo of him kissing her on the head imo could be him getting up to get a beer as his looks empty and hers nearly empty.  Last photo he looks to be trying to grab her hand and she is pulling back and then he kisses her hand.  I wonder if they were playing up for the photographer as must have known someone was taking photos.  the photos look flirty because she is laughing/joking around. Didn't say if they met up or left together or if they were together for hours?  She is a model and knows the tricks of the trade.  He looks similar age and ethnic background so could be long time friends from same neighbour...who knows?  Up until this article all evidence was pointing to Olena being F1, Olena has even liked several photos of her and Richie on SM from the show in the last few days.  Richie is still claiming to be happy and has met up with F1 regularly.  Olena is a smart business woman and imo would not jeopardise her contract with Bach AU.  For me too many things post show have indicated they are still together.  A week ago Olena joined Chadwick modelling agency which I would find strange if she is not F1 or had recently broken up with Richie.  Richie being in Orange enabled him to move freely with no need for airport departures/arrivals. this is all JMO and I could be wrong however still think more evidence supports them being together and not.  If the photos are the only negative thing then Im prepared to give benefit of the doubt as Olena is too disciplined to do something so careless. JMO side note My daughters have many male friends whilst having boyfriends and I often question their flirty behaviour...just saying???

1) lead didn't do much media (only beginning and near end of show airing)
2) girls didn't say they were in love or heartbroken once they were eliminated and instead found "love" with their friendships
3) edit was seen as a bit wonky and didn't add up
4) s/caps indicated an F1 but SM and Media was different from past season and seemed "strange" (and thus it was predicated something was off post-show with F1 and it was - they broke up the day after ATFR)
5) media was posting rumors of switcheroo, wrong girl chosen, and very little posts about happily ever after

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] may remember more as well to add to the list but there was a feeling that even if there was an F1 something was "off"...

ETA: I just saw mercieme's post above and as she posted, the lead himself was definitely not into any of the girls and the comments he made even on the show were very strange and didn't seem into any of them... but I don't see the same here for Richie on his season although the other stuff with the girls, SM, media, etc, could be a clue

Sunnyandhappy wrote:IMHO I believe that the photos of Alex are her greeting a friend/relative and that Olena is likely old photos pre Bachelor. I would not be at all surprised to find media making most of this last week and coming out with all sorts of rumours and innuendos to boost readership and sales - it is what they do best no matter if they are the official show magazine or not. I do not believe for one minute that Richie would dump his F1 or that any of the final three girls would do the same. I also do not believe for one minute that Alex or Olena would risk contracts and spoilers by being seen in public with other men. I really do not think that there is much to be learnt about the finale from media this week as they are all going to be going crazy with stories to get our attention and hype up the audience by keeping them guessing at every turn. I also do not think given the huge backlash after the Blake/Sam breakup that the shows production company or channel 10 would risk that again especially with Bachelorette coming up next week. This is all JMO.
It's certainly going to be one crazy week and one that will provide us hours of entertainment from the media I am sure
