Bachelorette Australia - Season 3 - Sophie Monk - Media Social Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

LUKE McLeod was pegged as a frontrunner for Sophie Monk’s heart.


Now, in the aftermath of his shock elimination, the 33-year-old believes Stu Laundy may be behind Monk’s baffling decision.

McLeod reveals he has spent months questioning “what went wrong” but concluded Monk’s decision may have been a way of removing anyone who could distract her from billionaire publican, Laundy.
“There was obviously guys who came into the house and I noticed almost straight away that there was a connection with one of them, and maybe she just wanted to remove someone out of the picture to not complicate things too much so she could focus on developing a relationship with that person,” said Mcleod, 33, from Sydney’s Manly.

With viewers left as shocked as the man himself, the business consultant admits he went into the rose ceremony “feeling good” and was blindsided by the decision.

“I went up to her and I just said, ‘what happened?’.

“And she said, ‘look, I think after our first date you weren’t as open with me as the other guys,’,” reflected Mcleod.
“I’m still trying to figure it out. I was just really confused. I felt numb. And I was just trying to retrace my steps and think, ‘how did I screw things up? what happened?’.”

As for the other suitors left in the mansion, Mcleod doesn’t believe there are many real contenders for Monk’s heart ... apart from father-of-four Laundy.





“I think Stu made a pretty big impression when he first came in, it was as strong presence when he came in.

“Other than that, I think from what she said she was looking for, the other guys were nice guys but I didn’t see too much of a future with her and those guys ... but maybe I’m wrong,” said Mcleod.

IMO it's too much of a "coincidence" that in the same year both leads would choose people they had met before the show aired   

Plus, the way the guys talked about Stu when he arrived and Luke saying how there was this connection straight away with Stu... I mean, first night Stu is on the show, Sophie kissed Stu on the lips by "mistake" (yeah right imo) in front of the other guys the night he arrived! That's how comfortable Soph was with Stu (like she already was "with" him). It reminds me of the girls and what they said about Laura and Matty seeming way too comfortable night one to not have known each other beforehand.

I'm going to go with Ten wanting a guaranteed ending or the leads planning this themselves beforehand (or a bit of both). Because this season/year has been totally suss imo and a rigged season with planned F1s who had met leads before they filmed is the primary explanation I have for it

I can see why you would think that, but Sophie can't lie to save herself and I don't see why Stu would risk his business reputation the way he is definitely doing if he already had the girl. Stu said somewhere that he wanted to be there at the beginning but couldn't work it around his business and family commitments.

Plus, the two of them were like a pair of giggly, nervous schoolkids on that couch at the end of their date. That was the most nerves I have ever seen on this show. They have definitely never kissed before.
