Bachelor Australia - Season 5 - Matty Johnson - Media Social Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #4

@mercieme from what I know, "having tickets" on oneself is basically being conceited and full of oneself.

Can someone please help me understand the term "tickets on herself" which I have seen posted here a few times now, does it mean someone that bets on herself? TIA

Someone who thinks quite highly of herself - Opposite of humble!

Thanks @allaboutlove and @emayem for the explanation

@mercieme she would buy tickets to see herself

Thank you for sharing.

to be honest, Laura reminds me a lot of Jojo and all the US bachelorettes: loud, full of themselves, opinionated, etc etc

Yes, I did not find her gracious and jealous, that was quite obvious.

IMO, she was not meant for this show at all. I think she is a control freak and hated not being able to date him in real life and just compete.

I see her very possessive and manipulative still because of this control she needs to have. Not nice qualities but I met many woman that way, she is not special or worse in that matter.

Anyway. I am surprised still she does not have more supporters. I do not think she is evil and I do not think she is a witch, I think she is very insecure and had major issue not being reinsured by matty that her love was not reciprocated confirmed with words. Of course she signed for the show but IMO there is a mental acceptation and there is a heart who has a hard time to cope with that.

We do not know the full edits. It is hard for me to judge.

It is quite funny because we expect a love story but with the girl of our choice really. For me, in the non spoiled, I changed my mind mid season because it was obvious that it was her.

At the end of the day, each shoe finds its foot. I think they both have way too strong personalities for their couple to work long term but at the end of the day, why would she be the one to bend her ambitions and do all the efforts? If she does not want kids for now and he want them, then he made his bed.

At the end of the day, we not always pick the prince charming with all the qualities we had on our bucket list right? There is a reason why we say: perfect on paper.

still do not care for her but I guess I had enough of a "peter" one season for a repeat each one I see after that.....

thanks for sharing your POV

Sexual chemistry comes across well on TV and Laura and Matty have had this from the start. To me Laura comes across as confident, in both her mannerisms and in her speech. She is also mysterious. She reminds me a lot of Olena (from Richie's season). But the problem I have with Laura is she is one minute she's fine with flirting with Matty. And she has said in interviews things like she and Flo have the best connections with Matty. But then she turns around and says she can't tell Matty how she feels??? I don't know who she is and to me she seems fake.

Besides Sportsbet and the unlikelyness of a dark horse winning, another thing keeping me from believing Elise has won are some of the things Laura has said in the media. Although there are some things elise has said that make me think elise herself is f1. I was thinking about the fact that Elise has moved back to Sydney. Besides the fact that matty doesn't own Sydney, i don't see her not moving just because he lives there or the fact that they have talked about her moving to sydney. As well of she is f1 couldn't she have waited to move sydney until after the finale except it seems her job opportunity was really good. On one hand if she was so heart broken would she have moved to Sydney so quickly but she did say in an interview she was staying in Adelaide in her first interview or so. Could she after the heart break stayed put with her family for awhile and when the job opportunity came she jumped on it to get her mind off of it/also she has lived in Sydney before or becuz it was a coincidence and she did end up with matty. If she didn't end up with Matty maybe she isn't as heart broken as some of the women seem to be able to look at the bigger picture of matty choosing who he likes the most. Also IMO it seems like elise is quite positive in interviews such as saying Matty is everything she has wanted in a man... makes me think. Also even though she deleted the tweet about her moving to sydney later in interviews she did offer it up though. It seems maybe Elise finds the speculation around who wins idk the word but entertaining or whatever like saying that people will find out soon enough whereas Laura IMO seems anxious for it to be over or more attached which can be taken either way as to who wins.... it might just be elise's personality to be quite positive. Idk how Alex and nikki were in there interviews...
Idk I am just over thinking and analyzing stuff may not make sense.

beware of edits.... this season was for me the worse I ever seen in this franchise

and yes.. over confidence is not an attractive quality for sure.... does not mean she is fake IMO

I am very aware of edits. So if we are being fed a lie that Laura isn't afraid of getting hurt and letting her walls down, then to me this season is definitely not the love story I thought we were going to get. If the edit is fooling us then it has turned me off hoping Laura wins.
And social media doesn't lie. Laura is very self-assured in what she says everywhere else. But to Matty she hides her feelings???
