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

Thanks @AAL!

@Bobette np! I am going back to your post about Elise and her SM.

Tentative timeline for SM activity for contestants.
Laura - per Laura's IG business account which could have been her from May 11
Elise - was back on Twitter by May 22

Filming ended closer to end of May it seems. Not sure about SM activity for other contestants (Lisa, Elora, White Pants Girl, etc) but it could help with the timeline and sleuthing F1.... One thing to keep in mind though is that there could be activity on SM during filming and still be F1. Alex was such an example from last season where she was active (her IG numbers changed) it seems but still F1 so will have to piece it all together (edit, promo via media SM and official show, stats, etc)

@Bobette wasn't Elise from SA??

YES.  She is originally from SA, yes.  AFAIK she played on the SA state hockey team has family in SA.  

She has since lived and worked in Sydney, but her home state or "state of origin" is SA.  That's what rang a bell with me when I saw those odds, and why I started to take a more serious look at Elise as potential F2/F3.  

I can't see her making it to F1 but F2 is a possibility IMO.  I feel like I'm going overboard in support of Elise on the back of her not being visible in the previews at all but I just have a gut instinct.  Could be wrong though!

I find the photos of him and Elise as the strongest ones when it comes to connection. He reminds me a lot of how he was with Georgia. He looks very happy and playful IMO. I hope he will choose her but Lauren will also do ;)

Happy and playful is the vibe I get too @Miyala.  

I'm expecting a "girl next door" kind of attraction between them.  Her Twitter is full of posts about sport - IMO she's the kind of girl who would watch footy on the TV with her boyfriend and actually enjoy it, not just put up with it for his sake or complain about it. From what we've seen I think Laura is better suited to Matty but I think Elise will be popular with the audience, particularly males.

@AAL Matty was papped arriving back in AU on the 25th after liking a post on a friend's IG a few days prior.

He looks happy. Yay!

Isn't it customary for the Lead & F1 to be given a day or two to be together before they fly home?  This would theoretically fit, if Elise was F2, since I expect she would have flown back alone a few days prior (i.e. being back on 22nd May would be about right).

@Bobette....can you pretty please double check that Elise was indeed back on May 22nd? I only two re-tweets that the originals tweets were dated May 22nd. My understanding from Twitter is that the date shows when that tweet originated & not when it was re-tweeted. Both tweets she re-tweeted, one from the Adelaide crows & the other from Georgie Parker were tweeted out on May 22nd but I am not sure we know exactly the time that Elise did the re-tweets. She could have re-tweeted them after May 22nd is the point I am trying to make but SCMIW......jmho.

@mercieme That's an excellent point!  I didn't think about that.  I only noticed her account was active again on the 27th (it had been deactivated while she was on the show, and was active again on the 27th).  

Her account was set to private at that time but her following/followers had changed indicating she was back.  It later became public again and her first "actual" tweet (not a retweet) was on Jun 10.  

@AllAboutLove should we make note of this on the timeline?

@Bobette excellent idea  If you want to add to/edit the SM activity list of the contestants and add it to the F1 clues ND thread then it can be seen for easy retrieval that would be great. It could definitely help with sleuthing for F1 especially when the season gets underway.

SM activity:
Laura - her business account was active May 11
Elise - RT'd a tweet possibly May 22-May27?
Matty J - liked a pic on IG a few days before May 24

I've just gone back through the official Facebook pages timeline for the last 2 seasons to see which girls we were "introduced" to before the show begins because the winner is always going to be in there. From Sam Woods season 12 girls had a feature picture with a quote from them, and Snez was the first one featured. It was a real mixture, with top contenders, villains and a couple of nobodies.
Richie's season was a bit different though, as only 5 girls had a feature photo with quote pre season. In order they were Olena, Megan, Janey, Alex and Keira. From the first night it was clear that Janey and Keira were not contenders, so if they follow a similar pattern we will be able to narrow it down from the Facebook posts once they officially release the girls, and start doing more promo posts.

And to add to my previous post, the preseason posts from Blakes season are even more telling. Rather than having feature photos that season, they had videos, and only 4 girls got them. Diana the Disney princess obsessive, Laurina, who was well.... Laurina , Jess, who was top 4, and Sam F, who won, if ending up with Blake can be counted as winning?
First preseason intros came onto Facebook on July 5 last year, so I'd say we'll get some pretty soon, which will really narrow things down. I tried to do Tims season as well, but my Facebook kept crashing.
