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

@mercieme there's quite a few interviews that Osher has done over the years as to why he changed his name. This post by Osher that he wrote best explains why. Personally I think it's wonderful and it saddens me when I read articles or comments in articles where people mock him or refer to him by his former name when he has made it clear over the many years since that he is Osher. What's in a name? Sometimes a lot - especially when it's holds such personal meaning. Anyway, here's what Osher wrote a few years back (mostly in response to the mocking he gets for his name change). I have always found it inspiring and re-reading it again even more so http://oshergunsberg.tumblr.com/andrewg

I read the article @allaboutlove, thanks for sharing it, appreciate that. I totally understand why he went for the name change and he seems so happy now with his wife and step daughter

@mercieme I really like Osher. He may be the company man for the show  but I feel like he has a good heart. There's a humanity and compassion to him that I don't see with a lot of host these shows. In his podcasts I've listened to he admits he wasn't always this way and has battled a lot of hardships in his life, and still does - openly and bravely. I've come to admire Osher and have a soft spot for him

I like Osher too.  Nothing excuses that 90s hair though.

Interview with the Western Australia, mostly similar things that other mags have said except they brought up the Kate Middleton look alike reference to some of the girls which i thought was said about Laura for sure by DM. Excerpt of his response to that below. There are 2 videos in the article as well that I can't bring over.

Gossip sites have been quick to group them as Kate Middleton lookalikes, which the marketing director said he found amusing.
“I am going to take that as a compliment,” Johnson laughed.
“I think Kate Middleton is quite an attractive woman, she’s very elegant. I would take Kate Middleton.”

Interesting since Laura has been said to look like Kate Middleton. And last year, before her season started Georgia was as well. Even more interesting that Matty is almost defending the comment and saying that HE is going to take that as a compliment and would "take Kate Middleton"... especially since he said his dream woman is Princess Diana. If Laura is F1 then Matty is already giving it away....

Hmm.... 

I took it like he found it amusing especially since he laughed....the interview implied many girls were being speculated as Kate Middleton look alike but I only saw the DM report on Laura....i think the producers are watching them as hawks in the media rounds and don't let the leads say anything that would give things away but those SCs will let us know the type of chemistry Laura has with Matty because it's unknown to me at the moment....i need to see something at least on par with what he had with GL which I didn't see in the BTS pics we saw.

On another note the bingo game card for the premier episode indicates someone will say they felt a connection with Matty.....wonder who that is

Can someone pretty please bring this over and also copy into the No Discussion SM thread....I can't post anything from FB by copying the source code, it just hangs up on me....thanks.

And they actually pointed out that the show publicist was there in the room with Matty during the interview They showed him the pictures of the girls and guessed which one he would pick....I have not seen the sweepstakes, they said it was from WD. Oh Snap, Matty blurted out his F1's name out in the corridors of Channel 10....he said the publicist pulled him aside after that....guys I thought some of u have sources at Channel 10 right? The F1's name is out people

Good points! IA about not seeing the same chemistry in BTS pics. I don't have a pre-season fave of the girls so just trying to sleuth for F1 and SCs help that a ton. So Hopefully there will be a season preview in the first episode to sleuth and SC from because that definitely helped past season with narrowing down frontrunners - Matty being one of them last year as he was barely shown pre-season but was in a lot of season preview SCs.

Bringing it over here @mercieme

Wait. What was Matty talking about near the end of the interview about after the finale finished filming and blurting out a name and being told not to ever do that? Also, I've posted this before but I really need to keep an eye out on Tara. I noticed when her name was mentioned Matty cover his mouth (a sign of holding back, not wanting to say anything). And Tara has been in all the promos and got a "meet Tara" video on the tenplay site as well as pics/vid on the official media.... I know her SM makes it seem she is not F1 so it could be just because she may be in F4. Still keeping an eye out though

Another interview at Perth that's 3 by my count.

Yes @allaboutlove, he blurted out his F1's name saying it was really hard to say goodbye to her post their alone time after FRC; this was after folks asked him how he was doing....i bet someone rats this out to a friend of a friend....geez thanks Matty

And I did notice the awkwardness around Tara as well, she could well be the one if we rule the FB profile pic change out.

Yeessssss.  Ok, good; that will get around pretty quick IMO.  As much as I enjoy sleuthing, this time I really kinda just want to know now so I can just accept it (if it is Laura) and try to just enjoy watching them fall in love without constantly hoping it will be Elise or Tara. I'd be happy for F1 to be a lock and just casually sleuth F2-3 and try to spot signs for the next Bachette to be honest.
