Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Media Social Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #3

solaroo wrote:Could be digging myself into a hole here...    Laura saying that her and Flo are Matty's favourites may/may not be self-deprecating but it could well just be reverse psychology.  Given how well-known it is that she's favoured to win, the strong expectation would be for her to gently deflect and point to someone else, but in that case we'd be onto her straight away saying she's just deflecting because of course she won't nominate herself in that way, who would do that right?  What's completely thrown us is that she did in fact put herself out there - in a manner which I strongly feel was said in jest and fun - and it's almost the perfect strategy because now everyone's confused and none-the-wiser!  IMO, almost everything she says is a bit tongue-in-cheek (aside from some of her serious ITM) and perhaps that's just her coping mechanism through a very unusual process, whether she wins or not.  She recognises quite clearly, I think, what this show is and how it operates in all it's often cheesy moments, and has decided to have fun with it from the get go.  Just my thoughts.

Besides that she seems to me to be down to earth and kind.  Laura is different and is very self-assured and artistically minded. I am not drawn to her as much as I am to Elise.

ETA:  I think it's worth reading everything she [Laura] says keeping in mind she revels in a self-deprecating and mocking style.

Absolutely! I am in an artistic profession, and I have a similar sense of humour to Laura which is probably why I'm more drawn to her. But I actually think Elise is probably a better match for Matty, the longer I think about it (and the deeper I get into this forum )

I believe up until that date he is all into Laura but I believe his date with Elise takes him by surprise. Then again, maybe its wishful thinking

As for the winner, Jen said she'd love front-runner Laura Byrne to take it out.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia earlier in the month, Jen revealed she was aware of the girl who had won Matty's heart and was happy for her. Not naming any names, she said she was an 'amazing chick' and she was 'stoked with the winner.'
