Laura Byrne - Ep3 SD Girl - Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Bobette wrote:I don't recall a contestant ever being able to give a full on interview like this during airing before.  Not sure if it's an extension of the new approach of allowing/instructing the contestants to post on social media during the season but this seems unprecedented and highly suspicious IMO.

It's entirely possible the whole season has been a construction - Matty told producers exactly what he wanted in a partner and they have served her up on a platter.  They may have even enticed her in with advertising incentives for her jewellery (and that seems to be working judging by SM comments).  

I'd be interested to know if she even applied for the show.  I'm sure I recall Cam from Georgia's season saying he was approached by producers on a night out and encouraged to audition.  If it's true she didn't even watch Georgia's season then IMO she may have been headhunted.

That said, Matty is IMO ecstatic that she's there and it doesn't detract from their love story, for me anyway.  As one of the people who ranted and raved last year about not caring about a suspenseful ending and just "SHOW ME THE LOVE" it seems I may get exactly what I wanted.

Speaking about her red carpet introduction to the raven-haired hunk, she says she cringes about telling him she follows him on Instagram.

She can look a bit different as well to me especially without lighting from a TV show or selfies with filters and no hair extensions. I've noticed when just regular pics she has more fuller cheeks/wider face and smaller eyes and more of a hipster/gypsy vibe to her which I think is more how she is in real life than how she is dressed by the show

The 30-year-old creative director of the ToniMay accessories line was spotted in Westfield Sydney amid an elaborate display of her products.

The earthy reality star looked focused as she checked her phone and sorted through a box of the brand's products, that are 'designed for the city girl with a gypsy heart'.
