Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Media Social Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

They're tightening security but also mentions that they were filming what I assume to be a group date in Nelsons Bay.

Not too sure what I make of this. I think i was kinda hoping for her to say "Matty is fantastic and I'm so glad he is The Bachelor". I know what she's saying, and I agree she is obviously biased because she was a new face.
All JMO.

I think it will all come down to whether Matty's season rates well as to whether he was the right choice.

What I take from that is that Georgia didn't want him but she doesn't want anyone else to have him either. Pure jealousy and selfishness, IMO.

That is hardly my take on the matter. Georgia seems neither jealous or selfish. She has been very supportive of Matty as the next lead. She merely said that she enjoys meeting new leads and that Matty will probably end up hurting someone in the end. That is nothing new...the F2 is usually at least a little hurt and some more than that and plenty of people prefer a new lead over a retread.

Hi all!



When is this supposed to start airing?/

I don't mean to sound harsh but who really cares what Georgia Love thinks about leads? Clearly her opinion carries no weight with the show creators, so what does it matter? The whole reason we have Matty as the next lead is because so many people thought she should have picked him, or were invested in his story because of his heart break, so while I do really like Georgia, I think she should probably answer these questions with a touch more diplomacy.

All JMO obviously.

@sophienette I've been told my someone at Ch10 that it will start early July, and the Bachelorette will follow straight on like last year. Apparently it started later last year because of the Olympics, but this year it's back to early July now

Clearly the person asking the question cared and the editors who included it in the story thought their readers might be interested. I think she has been pretty darn diplomatic and gracious, Matty not quite as much. No doubt people will be having this same conversation after his season.

When wasn't Matty gracious? Did I miss something?

The most recent one was where said he would have preferred a break up by text...as if Georgia had any control over that. There was a few other instances that are in the threads somewhere in here.

Ahh ok, I took that as a joke. It's always hard when things get reported with the intention of causing trouble, and you can't hear the interview to see for yourself the tone things were said in. Which is probably also true for the Georgia interview. I'm sure they loved reporting that she thought a new lead would be good... after all, controversy sells right!
Don't get me wrong, I like Georgia, I just meant I don't care about her opinion on who the leads should be. Leave it to the experts I say. But each to their own.

Early July? That's strange... I was told by the source I have connected to/with Network Ten that it will air end of July like it always has since season 2.
Also, last year actually aired a few days earlier than normal so it had nothing to do with the Olympics.
I do know that the Bette will follow the Bach again as it always has as well.


ETA: S2, S3, and S4 all aired at the end of July for every season source

Ok, that's interesting. I was just going by what he said about the Olympics, I hadn't actually checked when it usually airs. But he said start of July this year. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
