@Karina i know right!!! i mentioned that in the episode thread that zac is following all the grls except Bel, viarni and Hannah ...and then the next day i noticed zacs instagram change and he has unfollowed 4 ppl i think sarah and claudia are some!!!! looks like someone is watching this forum i also still believe by these clues alone that they will be the f3 and f1 will be viarni or Bel......jmo

eta: i saw on sm that claudia seems to be "seeing someone", Karina is on Bumble(which im assuming is a dating app?according to ig thebachelornzgirls BTW it is a great IG site:) and out of V, Bel and Hannah, Hannah seems to be the only one that has excepted friends requests from other contestants..... these are just all things i saw with my own 2 eyes on social media could be nothing but thought it was interesting

That's very interesting about Stuff specifically talking about Viarni and Zac not following her. While he doesn't follow Bel or Hannah either (not sure if he follows Lily but don't think so based on what I've sleuthed) what strikes me is that Stuff media is only mentioning Viarni. It makes me think they may know something and trying to roundabout way point to her as F1. It won't surprise me if this is the case and Viarni is F1. Daily Mail does the same thing all the time.

thats interesting! i dont know much about NZ media but i was starting to think they are really pushing Viarni down our throats similar to what they did with Nikki(in the aussie Bachelor) maybe wanting to maybe get fans behind her then make her the first NZ bachelorette?? i mean with the white rose and intruders im almost starting to think its the same producers as richies season i dont know but the difference is i really like Bel and Viarni just hate the idea of either of them being the f2...in sayng that f2 is a lousy position for any of them these grls all seem really sweet and good friends...jmo

@LeapofFaith Viarni's edit to me is more like Richie's F1/Alex's edit... very obvious in the beginning and got the White Rose and a very physical edit. Nikki to me was more an emotional edit than a physical one.

I've always thought Bel would be like Nikki and after watching the last episode I am still thinking so... that she will be Nikki all over again. She seems very invested already and I can already see her being very heartbroken as a non-F1 and especially if she is F2.

Yes, some of the producers are the same. One of them main producers for Richie's season is also for the NZ season show. Intruders... white rose... so many Aussie themes which they said they were doing to copy the Aussie show.

So to me it seems like they'd likely do a F2 who is well-liked and who is very invested (but it's more one-sided) and has an emotional arc/edit and who gets their heart broken. I can see that being Bel

@AllAboutLove whats stumping me is the music with Viarni it reminds me of an f2....jmo i really hope they go with a art/matilda type edit and show the love story

@LeapofFaith good point about the music. I have to listen again but I think I heard music with Viarni twice now (at least) that was the same as with Matilda.

well if they go the same edit as nz season 1 then Viarni could be f1 but the music being used reminded me of Nikki(i will never forget that music that season killed me ;) then f1 is Bel - jmo .....

also i wonder who the girl Zac kisses at the cocktial party? in the preview they show claudi,sarah,hannah and bel all discussing it? so it may be Viarni or a new grl he kisses?....

Not ignoring Hannah as F1. His friend Marty follows her on IG.

I might be wrong here but I think that the music being played is a mish mash of US bach/bachelorette and Canadian Bach music.

Oh, that's interesting!  I was just wondering about her as F1 on the epi thread.

I wonder if Marty follows any of the other girls?

@LeapofFaith Yes, that is why I posted the Stuff article I am sure they read this site. Lily was followed by Zac. I note that Zac replies to quite a few of Katie's comments they seem to a light-hearted banter happening.
