I think you might be on to something [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] :Nod:  

Things are looking that way to me so far...

He didn't say it to anyone else.  This is a key statement from a lead to F1.  Now as for Olenas behaviour, well here is the thing.  The botched edit of Alex has tarnished her public image, so as I said up thread, I think publicists are now trying to portray Olena in a party girl image to help Alex's image with the public.  This is a girl who has signed modelling contract after contract, you can bet you bottom dollar she reads the fine print.  The photos at the beach have been staged no question.   As for the pub photos, I think they have conveniently picked the frames that look the most compromising because quite frankly if she was flirting that hard with him, someone would have taken the money shot of her kissing him, she in fact looks like she is pulling away when he gets too close.

Now as for everyone saying it's not F1/2/3 behaviour,  there is a possibility that the producers know she was hurt particularly if she did open up at the end just to be shut down and she seemed to be a favourite with the crew going by their Insta likes.  So they may be letting her do her thing for the sake of her own sanity in the meantime boosting Alex's image.  It's a win win for everyone. And let's face it she has been a marketing dream for this season in amongst a whole lot of vanilla and crazy.  So the more she is out there, the more publicity the show generates all the while keeping the real F1 who no one suspected would really win, hidden.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well. Plus, Olena's edit last week wasn't that clean. They were trying to get us not to like her on the camping trip showing her as lazy/disliking what he likes/too many walls. They always use 'walls' as a negative, but she is still the audience favourite on the channel 10 leader board. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of Olena. I even like Alex more than her. I'm also 23 years old and just get a bit creeped out at the age difference between her and Richie, so I am bias. In my opinion, it's strange how Olena gives him so little and usually a contestant would be eliminated for the stuff she does, but I guess the fact she is still there is evidence that he must really like her.

What I keep thinking is, and what you all keep saying is - why would she not just wait a week? In my opinion, it isn't attention seeking as it will make people dislike her. I think it takes a special person to want that sort of hateful attention (like Kiera loves being the villain). If she were after positive attention, she could do more media/drop hints and try make out she won. In my opinion, channel 10 have likely told her to do it or do whatever she wants to make Alex look better and therefore Richie look better in his final decision. They don't want the Heather backlash this late on as there will be no reconciliation. I remember people having time to hop on board the Snez train after Heather left as F4. They will get that backlash if Alex wins instead of Nikki or Olena. If that is the case, I feel kind of bad for Olena because some people will start hating on her for what she was made to do by the network (in my opinion).

The only thing that doesn't make sense with this theory to me is that letting Nikki go, even at F3, will have backlash as it's too late in the game to do so. So why do you guys think the is the media attempting to bring both Olena and Alex down, but not really Nikki?
