Richie Strahan - Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Discussion

Came across this when searching for Bachie AU SM related items. Supposedly Richie selling his house and moving to Melbourne though not confirmed if still together with Alex....maybe there is still a chance they work through this.

"Bachelor Richie Strahan is selling up his WA home and is believed to be moving to Melbourne. But he would not confirm if he would be joining girlfriend Alex Nation.

The fly-in-fly-out rope access technician has been juggling a long-distance relationship with the Melbourne-based single mother since proclaiming she had captured his heart during The Bachelor‘s final rose ceremony last year. But his relocation comes amid recent rumours that the reality TV couple split months ago."

Yeah I had seen a couple weeks ago on Richie's snapchat that he was selling his house while he was finishing his pavers in the front and would be moving to someplace colder per his snaps. I suspect that someone gave this info to the media along with the listing of his house and they are only reporting it now since his house listed (probs because of the so-called reports that they are over). So it was always in the works for him. There's been no statement by either one that they aren't still together so to me I just took it like he was moving to Melbourne as he had stated last year. Will see

TBTH we haven't seen them posting each other recently so if SM is any indication (and it usually is) they are done. It will be interesting to see if true or not. You guys do such a good job of sleuthing.

And let me just say that of all the girls she matched him the best, even if they are done currently. I will never forget them both giggling when he gave her the white rose in episode 1. (Any one know where can I re-watch her entrance ? TIA).

The fact that this thread just got new life is so weird.  I just binge watched Richie season this week, the final episode yesterday and the wondered where any threads were at on updates of the couple  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]  I watched all episodes via a link provided through PM, let me know if you want me to send it to you so you can watch her entrance.  She read him a poem.

I have to say I really liked Nikki, she was a class act - loyal and true and beautiful.  I knew it was going to be Alex in the end but could never fully get behind her, don't know why but something about her was off for me, but no denying their chemistry was off the charts.  I found her a bit young for him and wondered about the obstacles.  

This was my first full Bach AU season and I have to say I found that just like most of the US Bachelors Richie went with the physical connection not realistic future relationship potential.

IMO Bachelorettes pick much more sensibly when it comes to long term; they look for chemistry and compatibility.  Richie said he went with his heart but history shows most Bachelors seem to think more with their other head

ITA will all you posted about the bachelor picks VS bachelorettes but I do think the B'ettes don't just go with the safe choice, they go for chemistry while keeping their wits about them.

R and A had the additional complication of distance and her being a single mom IMO.
But he would have not clicked with Nikki either if he had caved and chosen her instead. It is what it is.

Reminder: This is a no spoiler thread. Please do not discuss anything to do with Matty and his season. TY


IA that Richie chose the one most suited for him from his season. Whether they last or not who knows but I do think he chose best for himself out of the girls on his season. Hopefully if he is moving to Melbourne they can make things work. If not, that's okay too.

My apologies, I am un-spoiled viewer.

I agree Richie chose who was best for him.  Nikki was just my favorite

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] no worries Just want to ensure posts are only about Richie and Alex so those who are unspoiled like yourself and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] can remain unspoiled 

Nikki was definitely my favorite too. Beautiful person inside and out. At the time I thought he was crazy to not pick her. Post-show I realized he chose the best match from the show for him and that's all he could do. Hopefully it works out for Richie and Alex, either together or wherever life takes them

Apparently Alex is in a relationship with a woman now.
