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

@Bobette Awesome sleuthing! Yes, you can post photos of the house, just don't post the actual street address or link to the street address. Again, great job!


ETA: to anyone matching any SCs with the mansion for Matty's bachpad, feel free to move any posts to the SC thread so it's easier to find. Same with any pics of the mansion, feel free to post those in the SC thread if matching with SCs.

Another great job! Think you're right.

What I have been wondering about is why tenplay or the bachelor au felt it was necessary to respond to the speculation of Matty and Laura being at the same ski lodge? When clearly if u look at locations they weren't? And people were already speculation and saying it was laura who won anyways. It makes me think Laura did win especially because they showed her whole entrance like Lee. Georgia and Lee had a connection from the start as well where as Georgia and Matty came later but Georgia still picked Lee. IMO elise's social media could be taken as not wanting to give anything away-happiness- or not wanting to engage- sadness. However she hasn't been shown a lot yet so she may not have a lot of content to work with. IMO laura's social media could be taken either way as well: wanting to play along and have fun with the journey and other girls may not necessarily mean happiness. Also her interview with cosmo http://www.cosmopolitan.com.au/bachelor/the-bachelor-australia-2017-laura-byrne-first-kiss-interview-23483
I thought she is addressing all the speculation it could end up in september her speaking about it again finding it funny because she did or didn't end up with him.

I am not sold that there was a SHV this past weekend going by SM acitivity where both Matty and Laura have been liking pics this weekend. 

Usually the lead/F1 aren't on their phones while on SHV and most often can't be if service is bad since they usually have SHV in more remote locations.

No, I don't think someone else is manning their phones to make it seem like they are active.

Thanks for the all-clear @AllAboutLove.  I recently moved house which was a NIGHTMARE so know all the tricks about finding real estate photos from archived listings - saved me wasting time looking at complete dumps

Pics below. I will copy them to the SC No Discussion thread for easy reference, and over to Sophie's page since they may be useful for comparison there too as the SMH article states it is also being used for her season

Perhaps since they both live in Sydney, they don't need to leave the city for a SHV?  It might actually arouse more suspicion if they both disappeared?  Maybe they're just meeting up in someone's basement.  That would be cheap, too

I read somewhere that Matty and Art had SHV at Art's uncle's place in Auckland - so it's possible. Also remember reading that Tim and Anna met at hotels in Sydney

Awesome @Bobette!  The Bach pad definitely looks like a downgrade since last year and imo definitely due to Ten's financial problems.

I am now convinced, along with the fact that Ten is in financial voluntary administration that Matty probably got paid $20K and not $200K. I think someone put an extra "0" in that number mistakenly and it took legs and became a thing. No way imo that Ten, who has never paid its leads more than $50K (and even that amount was high for their leads) would be paying so much more when they can't afford to do so. 

I am also thinking that they nixed having intruders from the getgo of filming because no WR in the first ep makes me think no intruders was planned from the start to save money. Since whenever they had the White Rose they always have intruders. So they may have wanted to eliminate intruders to cut down on filming time and if any filming breaks were because they didn't have money. Yes, it makes more sense to keep filming to save money but if they didn't have any to pay for something (different location, etc) then I could see them having to put some things on hold. It also makes sense to me given that quite a few of the GDs seem to be in the backyard of the main mansion and/or in a field etc while past GDs usually were somewhere else. 

I don't expect Ten to admit to any of this really but the fact that they have been having financial issues speaks more loudly imo.

Still not as low budget as Sam Wood's season ...so many cheese platters on lawns! Poor ladies thought they might at least go somewhere exotic for FD.. oh Sydney for FRC.. yeah sure

Georgia and Lee both lived in Melbourne and all their planned SHVs were outside of Melbourne. I suspect the same for Matty and his F1, that all planned SHVs would be outside Sydney and a bit more remote. Then again, with Ten's money issues, someone's basement may be just the thing for a SHV!

It's not about the location though that I don't think SHV this weekend. It's more the SM activity which is something noted for past leads/F1s that during SHVs they are usually not active on SM. Sure Matty and his F1 could be together spending time on their phones scrolling through pics and liking them instead of spending those few days they have together out of the weeks apart but to me that's not such a great sign if so
