From what I have read all the girls continue to think that he is a great guy and say that we are not seeing what they saw. There have also been several whose interviews I've read who also noticed that he came into the process all happy and bubbly, but as the show wore on, they noticed that it seemed to wear him down.

Everyone handles things differently and none of the last few women eliminated have said anything bad about him...or really about each other either. As much as I was never on the Matty band wagon, he hasn't really done anything that I find all that objectionable. Same goes for the women...other than Leah and Jen earlier. The rest all seem to like one another and they all seem to have maintained some kind of contact amongst themselves.

I don't know if it is just because I'm used to the bigger trashfest that is the US version, but this is relatively tame to me. I am starting to get the impression that maybe Aussies take this show a little more seriously.

@Sprite ITA with you.  You and I were unspoiled, Laura F1 from the get go.  I feel like I did see a love story this season, it started at the M&G.  I don't understand the Matty 'hate' if he takes Elise to F2 just because he was in that position before.  Someone has to be F2 and never in seasons past do I remember someone that the audience wouldn't buy being F2 was taken that far (i.e. no way Cobie was going to F2 to spare Elise feelings).  

I am an Elise fan, I love what they have shown of her; I just think Matty has liked Laura longer and had more time to share thoughts and feelings. Matty came on the show to find love.  Could he have predicted he was going to feel so strongly about someone so quickly?  Was he supposed to fully comprehend how hard it would be to continue dating many women if he realized early on who he wanted to be with?

I can accept people being disappointed in that the season seems to be over because of obvious things that point to Laura but then I have to ask (and this is NOT to offend anyone, I LOVE this board   !)  . . . . Isn't that why we sleuth??  There is a good chance you are going to find out the ending, thus IMO viewing the season may tend to get boring; this is why I often stay unspoiled. The whole premise of the show is leading up to the suspense of the last 10 minutes of the season - see who's foot comes out of that first limo arrival.

I enjoy reading everyone's thoughts.  I find it so interesting that we all watch the same show and interpret things so differently. @HEA I can't BELIEVE you gave up on Tara as F1

@HEA.....James Blunt was popular at some point...he sang the song "you are beautiful"......not sure if you have heard it before but it was a hit a long time ago  

I never heard of it or even him. but I am very bad regarding singers. I was never a groupie of anybody even when i was a teen. I love a song and move on.

but i laughed when he said INTERNATIONAL... i am 100% if someone tell his name in Quebec CAN, nobody will know who he is.... same in France. I am almost certain.

Truth is i read this article when he made fun that they did not stop kissing when he was singing and it was awkward for him.... and when i saw the edit that we heard only few notes and words and it was VO all along, I had to laugh and pity him

I'm in Canada and I know of him. "You're beautiful" was a massive hit. So yes, international. Google it and I bet you will recognize it.

Seriously, OTT.  If I was one of the official jewellers of the show I would be so peeved at it, really peeved. They are not even being subtle with it. I'm all for Laura promoting her business but for TPTB to be so on board seems extremely suss to me. JMHO

Sooo many zoomed into shots of her hands.

I read a comment on instagram where someone said apparently Laura had a jewellery making thing at her picnic for Matty and made him a silver bracelet but it wasn't shown. Bet she was bummed about that!

The comment was on the Bachelor IG of Laura and Matty
