Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

Seriously though. This season is so boring. I even get grossed out when Laura and Matty kiss because they haven't shown us how their relationship has developed. It's a bit like a random drunk pick up at a night club (I know, I'm exaggerating) and some awkward tonsil hockey. As Leah said Fame is the aim and if you fall in love then that's an added bonus or something like that. Same could apply to Matty

If we assume Elise gets ep 10 based on timing and the first SD clue (IMO it will be her) Then that leaves ep 11 and 12 for another SD because ep 13 is usually F5 right?

So Laura would surely have to get another SD to be a lock for F1?

@brownravens bringing forward my post in the filming thread. I think there is an opportunity for Laura to get another SD in Episode 12. We do have that kissing SC of her and Matty that most folks now believe it's in Sydney but we are not sure if it's the F3 fantasy date similar to how folks think the seaplane lunch date is Tara's F3 date. I think Cobie gets that flying fox SD (her second date) on Episode 11 if she was back home on or before May 9th as sleuthed in her thread. I am cluless as to when Elise got that dancing SC with Matty but it could be the F3 date as well at this point.

I assumed 1 elimination per episode and arrived at 8 girls for Episode 10 like you speculated.....should be interesting if that's how it pans out.

Episode 16 - 2 girls remaining 
Episode 15 - 3 girls remaining
Episode 14 -  4 girls remaining
Episode 13  - 5 girls remaining
Episode 12 - 6 girls remaining 
Episode 11 - 7 girls remaining
Episode 10 - 8 girls remaining

I mentioned this before but does Elora not make sense as a better F2 for him to pull a Sam F?

Not if Elora gets the overnight date. I can't see that going well at all if she was in F2. Not that I think it will go well even if she is let go before F2, but taking the one with an overnight to F2 and dumping her would look worse I reckon.

Ok I buy that but what about Flo? I mean if they poll the general audience who his connections are at this point, IMO it would be Laura, Tara, Elora, Flo....it just makes no sense to bring Elise to F2 if his plan was to pick Laura all along, there is zero suspense for the general audience, why would they tune in to the finale???? I guess i am just asking y'all to help me see a reason for Elise in F2 that makes sense

Agreed @AllAboutLove. We can also confirm that, going by Jens hair at tomorrow's cocktail party that Laura's crying screencap is not tomorrow night but a different night. So there is more drama to come? I wish that episode guide was up already

Up to 170 people not feeling any love for Laura on Facebook. Many comments

Surely something has to happen with Elise before episode 10 to justify the elaborateness of her first date. Alix gets wakeboarding and a couch, and then he totally ramps it up for a girl he was even less interested in getting to know?

I just took a look at your SCs for from tomorrow's sneak pier and yeah Jen has different hair and outfit for tomorrow's episode.......that makes it 10 CP SCs that we have for Jen. Wow so she still lasts all of next week....yikes.

Thank you @Emayem for this....I have been befuddled exaclty as to how OTT that date was for someone that folks are saying he is not attracted to. It makes sense for her to get an SQT at the Epsiode 8 GD but now I asked if there was a GD tomorrow or if all we are getting is Elora's overnight date.

ITA - that was the more personal date we've been exposed to as well.
