Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Sleuthing - **NO SPOILERS**

is this group date with all the contestants ? Even the girl that just had the 1on1 date? Cobie?

Cocktail party. Cobie is regretting not kissing him.

Florence is acting teacher like and she is about to school Matty. Playing every mans fantasy...despite that, he is not looking thrilled as she keeps going on and on trying to teach him Dutch.

Simone is nervous and talking with Matty, but Cobie comes to interrupt after a few minutes. The others aren't thrilled because she has a rose. Jen thinks Cobie isn't all cute, she is a bitch because she is sneaky.

Mean while Cobie is spilling regretting not kissing him and then Leah goes to interrupt. Cobie is kind of bitchy and won't let her and says she doesn't care that she is upsetting the others. Laura is defending Cobie because she thinks the tone wasn't as bad as Leah made it to be, even though she didn't hear it...except I think it actually was. Not as sweet as she makes herself to be. Either way, I don't think Matty liked the way Cobie behaved. I think that was a bit of an eye opener. I actually was not impressed either and I hate siding with the b*tch crew.

Yes...everyone.

Rose ceremony.

Cobie already has a rose. One to leave. They need to cut women quicker at the beginning. At least two per ceremony.

Tara gets first rose.
Florence...he remembered his Dutch lesson and asks in Dutch.
Elora
Michelle
Laura
Simone
Lisa
Alix
Natalie
Sian
Jennifer
Leah
Charlene
Stephanie
Elizabeth...she looks so much like Ben's Olivia Cardi
Elise

Belinda goes home

Next week...bungee jumping, 2:1 date, meltdowns, tears....you know, the usual.

It's been 4 episodes and I have no idea who half these women are. They need to put their names on the screen each time they talk. I had to go look who the one who got let go was. I thought they said Lindsey and apparently there isn't a Lindsey so I had to go check who wasn't on my list. They are way too slow getting rid of these women who he really doesn't look interested in at all...and it's still early days.

so I am not even half first episode, still in the meet and greet but i have already 4 names and the villain of the season

I did not read you yet as I do not want to be influenced. I will try to catch up tonight

did I mention that I am VERY happy to not be the only one here??

:happydance:

@sprite great recap. You caught some things I missed 
Still not liking the GDs. Blah. I feel like there are too many coveting airtime.
Cobie just seems overboard to me, either overly goofy or overly intense. Mercurial is how I would describe her and I don't see any future there. 
Natalie, I thought was really ballsy and her fantasy re-enactment was bang on  - woman not girl humor but of course more appropriate for a relationship than a getting to know you situation. In my experience, Dutch tend to be direct so in that context I was amused.  Not sure if her brand is right for Matty though however at least she was original and stood out among a mostly franchise stereotypic group. 
Still like Matty as the lead but not a fan of the edit.

REVISED - the Dutch woman's name if Florence:crazed:

@notarose Thanks, I didn't even know that was Natalie. They seriously need to put their names on the screen as I find many of these women look similar and because they FF through some of them when they introduced them, I find them very confusing. I thought the idea was good, but she went on too long. One phrase would have been great and then use the rest of the time to actually get to know him. Instead she went on and on and I thought he was getting annoyed.

Cobie went down in my book with that stunt. Not that I ever had her as a serious contender, but I agree, she is all over the place and again, I don't think Matty liked that. I was surprised how Laura defended her, even though she didn't hear the conversation. I thought she should have kept out of it since it had nothing to do with her. I didn't really like that from her either, since she kept on about it as well.

Overall, I really didn't enjoy this episode. The dates were kind of boring and Matty looked disinterested much of the time. Hopefully next week will be better.

 I want names on the screen as well.  @sprite The "teacher" skit girl is Florence 
And agree, he often looked disinterested. I do think Florence and Laura are more on his radar than others at this point because I don't think he is fond of the aggressive nature many of the girls show on competive GDs.  Just a hunch. 
Laura - yep, I thought she would have done better to stay silent but I guess it showed she was invested and stands up to bullies. 
Florence - GD made a point of showing she listened to what Matty had said previously and he reciprocated by speaking Dutch at the RC. 
Maybe a third will surface next epi from the quieter group but thus far those two are my only. Too many are either Disney or Real Housewives material IMO.

I have never watch the Aussey Bachelor - how and where do I find the episodes.  This board has gotten me intrigued with all the "Matty" talk  

I am usually an unspoiled viewer for US show so plan to stay that way for his season too and join you ladies here!!

Welcome to the party ! Glad to have more unspoiled folks  on these threads.
I'll try and find links that AAL provided to me for watching and will post.

ETA : PM'd you.

AAL not sure if we are allowed to share the links here ?

Thanks ND!

After I catch up with eps I will be back to join the party!!
