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

Way to go @Bobette calling it and thanks for bringing over AAL.

Season after season, I am perplexed that these girls having watched the show still come on to play the so called villain role. I think it was sleuthed that Leah leaves in Episode 4 or 5 so hopefully she won't overshadow this season too much.

ETA - re the dresses IA that they are a bit subpar even compared to Richie's season IMO. I am actually surprised as to what Laura was wearing for being the front runner. I like Tara's outfit the best so far.

I think those who play the so-called villain role make out pretty well overall when looking at past "villains" who get modeling and sponsorship deals and even go on "I'm a Celeb.. get me out of here" TV show like Keira did (and who subsequently is also IG verified).

So it's probably worth it to play that role rather than just be a MOT who can go further (even to F4/F3) and not get those opportunities. It looks like Leah may be banking on that possibility especially getting media writing about her already the way they did about Keira.

I actually think it's planned and the "villain" gets those perks to play that role (which is really tame IMO compared to US shows).

If their priority is to come on the show and become popular then it's not a bad strategy to be the villain. I guess folks would do anything for popularity in the age we live in. The edit they give to the AU villlains are not as bad as the US ones IMO but it just takes away from the love story and i wish we would go back to how it was with Laurina on Blake's season who I saw more as a diva versus a villain......jmo anyways.

ITA @mercieme. I think the Aussie villains overall make out pretty well and are quite tame. Laurina is the queen IMO. I don't see anyone topping her. She wasn't a villain to me at all - just a straight shooter who told it like it was. I loved that season despite the outcome. One of the best cast seasons, IMO.

Leah's extended intro vid:

Designed to provoke a reaction IMO. Ruffle ruffle.

Ruffle ruffle, hellllooo Keira 2.0! Spin this as much as you can Leah, get what you can out of it

She seems harmless enough and no obvious signs of mental instability so a definite upgrade from Keira Classic, IMO

Thanks for all the updates! Great sleuthing going on and I enjoy catching up.

That has to be one of the first dresses that I don't like at all.

Leah's extended promo cracks me up. She seems in on it and there to have a good time and ruffle some feathers   
I loved the pun they used about Leah aka "The Ruffler" being "unbe-Leah-ble."

I was hoping for another girl reveal today but instead we get 15 secs of fluff.

I know, so disappointed. But in good news, Masterchef finals week is next week, which would put the final of Masterchef on Sunday 23rd, so if they do Wednesday and Thursday for Bach again that would put the premiere on the 26th?

HECK YEAH! That sounds good to me, @Dirty Street Pie
