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

I highly doubt they'd pick a Bachelorette from Matty's season especially since Innes specifies that they chose celebrity Sophie because she is a celebrity.

The only thing that could be different regarding ending and concluding like the past is if there is an engagement this season (yes it's been done before but not recently), an ATFR, ending the final episode differently in some way, some To Be Continued episodes (courtesy of the US franchise - please no). Or.... for the first time ever, the lead actually giving the F1 a final rose since they never do that on the Aussie show!! I am going with that one  

Honestly though, I'd be shocked if there is anything different this season from the past ones. Sounds to me just like network spin.

I think it is spin too given that everything they say is just to hook you in and buy more laxative tablets!!!

“Rather than always ending and concluding where we have in the past, there are a few more open doors with the series that will keep people wanting more,’’ she says.

Combined with Matty's comment that the F2 should "keep an open mind because you never know what's round the corner" (accompanied by his raised eyebrows) on The Panel, this has me very intrigued.  

Seems they may have big plans for Elise if she is F2 - Bachelorette 2018?  Or something "more"?  

Just personally from what I have seen I think Laura would make a great Bachelorette. She has a great strong bubbly personality

I agree @Sundy!  Laura would be great.  I don't know if Elise could pull it off to be honest - but I am only basing this on her SM and the 0.35 seconds of screen time we have so far enjoyed of her.

I'm trying to work out what else they could have in mind.  Sports commentator?  She's done marketing for Red Bull - maybe a new show about extreme sports?  Hostess if Osher is leaving???

Hmmmm......

Oh geez.....laxatives and Extra chewing gum is all we got

Anyone recollect if Richie gave Alex a ring at FRC? Thanks.

Matty did say on his season media tour that he has imagined Sophie naked. I'm all for it. Anything to spice things up

Richie gave Alex a ring at FRC. So did Sam Wood to Snez at FRC. And Blake, well we all know about that ring

The other celebrity was Delta Goodrem but I'm no fan so hoping this doesn't come to pass!    

It would be very bizarre if she followed Sophie's season because they supposedly have an ongoing feud over Delta trying to "out-do" Sophie and flirting with Benji Madden while Sophie was dating him and Delta was working with him on the Voice.  

But we'll save all that for the Bachelorette board if they actually sign her up...

Ok thanks @allaboutlove.....just curious if to expect Matty to also give a ring and look out for product placement on the TenPlay website

Considering Channel Ten has some major financial problems I think Innes and anything coming from Channel Ten is going to be some major BS spin and likely everything will be the same ol same ol. Unless Channel Ten consider laxatives as sponsors as the new surprise 

I did a search regarding jewelry sponsors for the past seasons and here's what I found:

S1/Tim - Bunda a season sponsor, including commitment ring for Anna/F1 at FRC
S2/Blake - Bunda a season sponsor, including engagement ring for Sam/F1 ar FRC
S3/SamW - Zamel's a season sponsor, jewelry for Emily on her SD and also a promise ring for Snez/F1 at FRC
S4/Richie - Doesn't seem to be any official jewelry sponsor. Alex/F1 got a promise ring at FRC and it was gifted by GP Israel but not a season sponsor
S5/Matty - Doesn't seem to be any official jewelry sponsor. If there is a promise ring at FRC, then likely same as Richie's season where the ring is gifted but not a season sponsor

Thanks @allaboutlove for looking that information up, greatly appreciated. Based on that I guess we can expect something similar to Richie's then for Matty since there is no official jewelry sponsor for this season as well

Considering Laura's a jewellery designer, she probably wouldn't wear rings by anyone else IMO.  

It's interesting to me that her jewellery line is so far the only one to get any kind of promotion on the website style guides and she is obviously going to be wearing her gear all show (her Onyx ring is very distinctive and visible in several screen caps, and there was already that whole bit with Matty modelling it on the red carpet )  

Lots of marketing going on this season - both overt and subliminal.  Even the Lead (and potential F2) work in the field.
