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

@mercieme he said the F1's name or F2? or? Either way I can see that getting out (if it hasn't already)

Without watching and just from all the things sleuthed so far I can see F1 being out of Laura, Elise, or Tara. I definitely don't see Elora as F1 just based on what I've sleuthed. Need the show to start to have more to sleuth one more day!

@Bobette......i think the best approach is to have the mind set that it could be any of the girls we have speculated to be part of the F4. I say this because we are going to IMO continue to discover clues as the season progresses....I am actually keeping an open mind re Tara now with the way Matty acted in that interview, very awkward silence from him IMO. He seemed like he was trying to not give something away IMO....we shall see.

@allaboutlove, it was his F1's name because he told the interviewers that he had only made one mistake since post filming and that he blurted out her name that it was hard saying goodbye after he dropped by the Network 10 office....i am just relying on you lovely folks to get the goods from your Channel 10 sources

Someone does have contacts at Channel 10 because they posted about it recently; can't remember who though.  This is for sure going to get out, IMO!

@mercieme oooo. Makes sense! I was confused a bit but can see it as his F1 so sad to say goodbye to her post-filming... so yeah definitely then he said his F1s name. To the whole floor of Channel Ten Who needs paparazzi when you have Matty himself spilling the beans

For transcript, here's I heard Matty say:
"I've only made one mistake so far and that was after we did the finale I had to go back into Channel Ten in Sydney and had a few interviews and at reception they said 'How are you' and I said "yeah, it's good it was really sad to say goodbye to....' I just blurted her name out on the whole floor at Channel Ten and the publicist grabbed me by the arm and said 'Don't you ever do that again'"  

Just to add: the fact that Matty said in interview that he has spilled the beans by mistake before was pretty much him spilling the beans about him spilling the beans! Matty zip it!

So he said at the reception was where he spilled the bean.....it could be the show producers and the network executives present there but how who knows who else.

Here is the IG post from Ten Insider which I assumed was said day of interviews and reception....this was since May 31st and no spills yet....unreal.

I hear u @allaboutlove but his publicist was there in the room and he seemed like he looked in her direction to get the go ahead to talk about the mistake; I just hope it's not a red herring they are putting out there for us

OK I just watched the clip and what I find interesting is that they didn't mention Laura or Elise at all, even thought anyone even remotely interested in the show would have hear the Laura F1 rumours, IMO.  

I wouldn't be surprised if the publicist gave them a list of 4-5 names they weren't allowed to ask about, so people can't "read" his reaction, in case he gives anything away.  And seriously, lady, Monica?  

Maybe he's just so in love he can't help himself? Spilling the beans immediately and then talking about it too. His poor publicist.  

How on earth is Matty going to keep it together for the next two months when he is giving away that he already has given it away. Come on Matty pull it together    

Here is evidence that Matty was in Perth for more than one day as AAL mentioned upthread....he was there for sure on July 21st and July 22nd per these media postings in 2 different outfits.

Yeah he's definitely not as good at this but as Georgia was.  Don't know if it was her TV newswoman pokerface but I could not read that woman AT ALL.

It was said during filming Matty was having trouble hiding his favourite and it was all over his face. He's going to give it away one way or another IMO.

@allaboutlove, do you recollect if the contestants are gifted their M&G night 1 dresses? I don't remember ever reading about this which I why I am asking. Tara was spotted at an event post filming wearing her M&G dress and it just occurred to me to ask if that's something we have seen before....thanks.

Georgia was pretty good hiding things but not so much when she was doing media before her season aired and not many eyes on her at the time. One of the first posts I had for her interviews back then was that I noticed her looking at Lee and posted she may be doing so because he is F1 and welp the rest is history  

So I do think the leads get excited early on and learn to hide a bit more. Since Matty is in marketing I'd think he would be better at this than spilling the beans even if to Channel Ten. Perhaps he thought he was "safe" there? I can understand that if so. What I don't understand is Matty spilling the beans about him spilling the beans. If I was Matty I wouldn't let it be known I had spilled the beans because if that interview picks up steam with other media then it could be used to get info somehow from sources. Or... as @mercieme posted it could be a red herring. Though the way he said it it didn't seem like it, more that he was wanting to say her name but couldn't so he retells how he said her name another time
