Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Media Social Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

Osher looks really good! He definitely does the announcements a million times better than CH does, imo. That was a lot of fun to watch and Osher giving his thoughts.

I'll have to go back over it again because I do think Osh can sometimes give things away when he gets excited about something or "knows" something.

May need to post what Osher says about the F7 and post in the F1-F4 thread?

Interesting article IMO about Matty and his family

The untold story behind Matty J's search for love on The Bachelor
Raised single-handedly by his "very, very special" Mum as one of five siblings and estranged from his father: this is the untold family story behind the glossy photographs and glamorous dates on The Bachelor.

Matthew Johnson, known to viewers as "Matty J", is the newest bachelor on the Ten reality show but his own life has been far from charmed. The 30-year-old has revealed to Fairfax Media the inspirational determination of his mother, teacher Ellie Johnson, in raising five children on her own. Johnson is not in contact with his father.

"The five of us were raised by my Mum. I don't know how she did it, while working full-time as a teacher at the same time, credit to her," Johnson said. "She's very, very special".

He said his own view of relationships - and how men should treat their partners - has been shaped by his own situation growing up. "Yeah, 100 per cent," he said. "I think for me, the relationship I would want to have, it was almost like I'd want to be the husband that my Mum deserved and never had. And the Dad that I always wanted, that's the Dad that I wanted to be. So I think it probably made my desire much stronger."

When asked whether he is in any contact with his father, Johnson said "not at the moment, no". Johnson is the middle one of the five children and jokes that he was always "striving for attention".

But he says his closeness to his mother and his siblings, particularly his sister Kate who is one year older than him, has helped him relate to other women.

"Probably one thing that was in my benefit was being brought up by my Mum, and being so close to my sister probably did give me a softer edge. I was more accustomed to being open about my feelings and talking about my emotions," he said. The marketing director, who is now based in Sydney, is already known to television viewers as the runner-up on The Bachelorette last year. He was rejected on national television by Georgia Love.

After being offered a lucrative contract with Ten to star in his own series, Johnson said his mother was the first person he consulted when making the decision.

"When I was first offered this opportunity, I turned to my Mum straight away and said, 'What do you think, what should I do?"' Johnson said.

"I think that, definitely one of the most difficult parts initially, was trying to get the blessing from my friends and family; it was such a unique way of finding a new partner - on TV."

Johnson also admitted he wished he had been able to check in with Kate before the final rose ceremony, which was filmed earlier this year, as she had often helped guide his relationship decisions.

"That was the hardest part, I think. You know normally in day-to-day life I turn to my sister straight away, kind of like 'Hey, this is the situation, what do you recommend?' Not having that luxury of having that person in your family so close, who you normally turn to, it definitely takes a bit of adjusting," he said.

Johnson said he was likely to sit down and watch the series but only with close family members.

"It'll be quite enlightening to watch it all back," Johnson said.

"I think it's going to be really weird initially. I am still definitely not used to seeing myself on TV, especially hearing my voice, it's going to be a little bit 'cringe' at first. I think I'd rather have numbers small.

"I would like to watch it back but probably my sister and her husband, more than likely, is who I'll be with," he said.

I have it from a very reliable source that it might pay to keep an eye on the policewoman from Adelaide.

Just a thought, could the group date of 7 be after Matty had been on a single date? This would mean there are 8 women remaining?

I was very surprised when I was told, as nothing at all has been said about her. Only time will tell

Thanks for sharing @Storybook 

I'd think the F7 would be all the girls since they usually all go on the GD when they get down to that few. It's possible the police woman's entrance may be something to note? Will keep an eye out either way 

Matty posted some pics and video on his IG on him Snowboarding in NSW... 

Hmmm... someone else (Laura) is doing that in NZ? That time of year sure but still interesting timing and activities.

That promo of Laura is telling. That she's had heartbreak before? Sounds like an F2 edit.

Matty also liked this comment on his IG. He seems excited
