TIA

STILL NOTHING on Elise or the other SA/WA girls that I can find.  They couldn't be hiding Elise any better if they dug a hole and dropped her in it, IMO.  

D.A.R.K. H.O.R.S.E

haha so true @Bobette

It does make me wonder if they are going to really play up the slow burn story line this season considering how Matty's season went... He went from being the slow burn to choosing the slow burn?

YES PLEASE.  

That really would be the perfect storyline - Aussies would lap it up after the disappointment of last Bach. Do we dare hope?

Awesome @LeapofFaith

Interesting, the only photo missing is the Perth girls...  

Let's compare the front runners...

• Lisa — 24 — Down to earth and self-proclaimed “legend” Lisa lives in the moment. The 24-year-old model loves getting outdoors and being active. Lisa believes love is about accepting each another for who you are. She is looking for a kind and funny partner who loves adventure, travelling and is “just a huge babe in general”.

• Elora — 27 — World traveller and wanderlust chaser, Elora is exotic, mysterious and ready to find her king to help build her empire. The outspoken personal trainer is looking for a disciplined gentleman with a wild heart, who can prove her wrong about love. The Tahitian-born Bachelorette’s perfect date is anywhere near the ocean, enjoying quality time and simple pleasures, while talking about life dreams.

• Laura — 30 — A down-to-earth city girl with a gypsy heart, Laura is all about being authentic. The self-confessed “big flirt” has always been a free spirit but is now looking to find her one true love.

• Cobie — 30 — Excitable Cobie describes herself as a “unicorn in a girl’s body, a positive happy-go-lucky munchkin who is a bit weird and quirky”. The Queensland coal plant operator believes she has the best job in the world and is looking for someone with whom she can create memories.

• Tara — 27 — Animated and confident, Tara is attracted to people with great personalities. Her friends describe her as “refreshing”, as she is always 100% herself. The 27-year-old nanny is a decent cook who loves her food and is “not afraid to voice her fire” if people are closed-minded.

• Elise — 29 — Adventure lover Elise prides herself on always aiming to be the best she can be. The former Australian hockey player loves water sports, training with friends and ran the New York Marathon last year.

The best write-up according to what Matty wants is Lisa IMO

The Bachelor Australia: Meet the 22 Bachelorettes
THE 22 women who will compete for Matty J’s heart on the upcoming season of The Bachelor have been revealed.
The ladies, who range in age from 23 to 34, will attempt to woo 30-year-old Matty Johnson who appeared on season two of The Bachelorette.
The show has already been filmed and Matty J told news.com.au that his relationship with the winner is still going strong.
“I am very happy to say that I’ve found love — and that I’m very happy right now,” he said.
But the identity of the woman who captured his heart is unknown. Here are the Bachelorettes he had to choose from:
VICTORIA
• Florence — 27 — Animal-loving Dutch-born Florence always dreamt of coming to Australia
and now that she is here, she is here to stay. Confident, with a heart of gold, Florence enjoys snowboarding, cycling, running in the woods, and swimming.
• Laura-Ann — 27 — Italian-Maltese Laura-Ann is opinionated, stubborn and can hold a good argument. The talkative criminal lawyer hates awkward silences and is known to give people her world if she falls for them.
• Leah — 24 — Tomboy country girl Leah is a ball of energy and says she is known as a force to be reckoned with. The 24-year-old loves any kind of adrenaline sport, horse riding, DIY and art. Quickly bored, the architecture student is never single for long and to keep her interest, a man requires passion and a sense of adventure.
• Lisa — 24 — Down to earth and self-proclaimed “legend” Lisa lives in the moment. The 24-year-old model loves getting outdoors and being active. Lisa believes love is about accepting each another for who you are. She is looking for a kind and funny partner who loves adventure, travelling and is “just a huge babe in general”.
• Monica — 26 — Independent “pocket rocket” Monica lives life to the extreme. From working in a slaughterhouse to spontaneously packing up her car and leaving town for a random adventure, she believes you will always land on your feet if you take a chance. The 26-year-old Townsville native has never experienced romance and is looking to find a partner who wants to lead a colourful life full of adventure.
• Sharlene — 26 — Determined and competitive, Sharlene loves to be active and her hobbies including Muay Thai boxing, jazz singing and performing in musicals. The wedding planner loves her career, but wishes in her personal life that she could stop being the “token single girl at the wedding”.
• Simone — 25 — Outgoing and bubbly, Simone is easy to talk to “but you may not get a word in”. The fun-loving English girl believes her heart is her best asset. She is looking for a tall and funny partner to take her for her perfect date, enjoying fish and chips on the beach.
NEW SOUTH WALES
• Alix — 24 — Body painter Alix enjoys great banter and says that she gives a good foot massage. The 24-year-old thrillseeker is highly competitive, loves a challenge and throws herself into any new experience. Her ideal man is tall, ambitious and family focused, with a fun outlook on life.
• Elizabeth — 31 — Outgoing, strong and brutally honest, Elizabeth loves fashion and getting dressed up, just as much as she enjoys watching rugby on the couch in her underwear. The 31-year-old is looking for her best mate, someone who she can have banter with, even in their old age when looks have faded.
• Elora — 27 — World traveller and wanderlust chaser, Elora is exotic, mysterious and ready to find her king to help build her empire. The outspoken personal trainer is looking for a disciplined gentleman with a wild heart, who can prove her wrong about love. The Tahitian-born Bachelorette’s perfect date is anywhere near the ocean, enjoying quality time and simple pleasures, while talking about life dreams.
• Jennifer — 27 — Self-assured and opinionated, Jennifer is a true character. The thrillseeking marketing manager loves water sports, dirt bikes, AFL and is confident she will at the very least, make the top four.
• Laura — 30 — A down-to-earth city girl with a gypsy heart, Laura is all about being authentic. The self-confessed “big flirt” has always been a free spirit but is now looking to find her one true love.

She enjoys transforming and healing couples’ relationships, but knows that in her own life she has been “waiting, not creating”. It is now time to focus on herself.

• Cobie — 30 — Excitable Cobie describes herself as a “unicorn in a girl’s body, a positive happy-go-lucky munchkin who is a bit weird and quirky”. The Queensland coal plant operator believes she has the best job in the world and is looking for someone with whom she can create memories.

That's insane and a little insulting that they don't even have a picture of Elise. I'm absolutely sure this is deliberate now - they don't want her on people's radar yet - slow burn edit for sure, IMO.

Yep I knew Lisa would tick a lot of the boxes Matty said he wants....her age at 24 is the only thing that gives me pause, I am not she is ready settle down if we are to belive that's what Matty wants...jmo though.

Has this been posted yet?  Everything's been going so fast today!

Osher is doing exactly what Chris Harrison did for the US season - announcing contestants live. Seems like Warner Bros is making sure each franchise got the notes! Osher is great though. I know he's the company man, but Osher does a fantastic job as host!


ETA: just had another thought... I must remember that the contestant Osher tweets and gushes about is probs not F1

I'm going to take with a grain of salt any talk by Matty/TPTB/media of dark horse/slow burn. Every lead that has talked "slow burn" pre-season usually do so to amp up the non-F1.

Matty/TPTB/media doing the same thing only reminds me of every other lead who did the same thing. It happens every season. I expect the same for Matty's season, regardless of who he may be or what he may say. If he said the opposite, then I'd give weight to slow burn much more. So far, to me it's just Bach speak. 

@Bobette, thanks for posting that FB live vid.

Osher looked good IMO. Also I think he did the announcements better than CH....going into details and seems more connected to the girls IMO.
