Bachelorette Australia - Season 3 - Sophie Monk - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Sundy wrote:Arghhhh. No screencaps. They are going back to the old format. We used to get them episode 2 yeah?

Yeah old format for Richie's season had Season Preview at the end of Ep 2
It may be though that they don't post it due to Stu/Intruder on the show?
Also makes me think they are tying to keep things under wraps a bit. Hopefully they post a Season Preview soon though

The next episode preview looks fun though..
Jarrod there for Sophie while she is freaking out about heights (Awww)
Apollo dressed in his gladiator looking outfit or whatever it is and Soph saying he has a B-cup with muscles

Honestly I already enjoyed this episode more than Matty's season

I reckon no matter what it will be better. I think it's because I just prefer the Bachelorette and a bunch of guys fighting for a woman format so much more

Can't wait for the rest of the season

ITA @AllAboutLove and I think a lot of it has to do with Sophie too, she's very comfortable with herself, she's self deprecating and she's just being herself, she's not playing the "perfect" part that Matty was trying to play, and that's a lot more enjoyable to watch.

I really really enjoyed Sophie but I did not enjoy the guys. To be honest I think casting was really, really poor and they were really scraping the barrel to her suitable guys on the show. There were a few guys I liked (Apollo, Luke, Jarrod, James) but the only one I really liked was Apollo (I'm guessing he is Tara 2.0). The rest seem like major duds IMO. I felt a bit sorry for her.

I hope the disappointments are weeded out early and she finds what she's after.

All JMO.

Comments on SM seem to reflect my thinking.

ITA. I actually think it has MOST to do with Sophie She is a fantastic lead. I think all the Bette leads have been great and able to lead far better than a lot of the Bach leads (Matty and Richie especially)

Punkee isn't even going to need to heavily edit their videos. They were given raw material tonight. JMO

Agreed! Enjoying Sophie but not the guys! They could have done better for her, its a bit embarrassing really, hopefully they plesently surprise...

Well, Sophie did say she wants a guy who is uglier than her. So maybe that's what they cast for?

I agree that the guys are definitely not as good as last season's (but really that bar was so high so I guess it can't happen twice).

So far though, Sophie has nailed it as a lead and that's what I'd prefer anyway and hopefully there will be some real and genuine connections (even a love story!) and some fun too (the guys usually are more entertaining overall).

Who all had their CP chats shown with Sophie?

Only Ryan (yuk) and Jarrod I believe? I could be wrong though

Sorry, you must have wondered what he heck we were all going on about.  When cooking, you stick a fork in meat to see if it's done.  So if something seems like a done deal or a foregone conclusion, you can say "stick a fork in it".  The implication being - Jarrod's edit is so much like that of an F1, we can almost "stick a fork" in this season's ending already.

Omg i know what you mean ! As soon as i saw his entrance i was like ,he's a sweetheart.so i agree with all of you! I fork you! Or spoon.either way

Jarrod opens up to Sophie about why he joined the army. Could they be a potential match? #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/WrAi5sawjK

Wow!! very very interesting words by Sophie about Jarrod

Sophie says this about Jarrod: "I've never met anyone like Jarrod before. He's not someone I'd usually go for but I think that's been my problem. He's polite, he's honest, he's genuine. He's a real gentleman. I am so impressed

So basically whatever happens, Jarrod is the genuine guy as predicted. But will Soph choose the genuine guy she never went for before or will she choose what she has been with before? Perhaps this season's storyboard... dun dun dun...
