Bachelorette Australia - Season 3 - Sophie Monk - F1-F4 Clues - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

James may have leaked that he is F4.

So just to get this straight. The proposed top 4 (Stu, Apollo, James, Jarrod) go into F4 only having had one date each (bar Apollo who has 2) as Blake gets the next SD

Jarrod definitely F4. Saw his mum on the latest hometown visit

I posted in the SC thread here and matched SCs for Jarrod, Apollo, and Blake in F4 and HTD so can definitely lock them in. 

Based on everything sleuthed, I'd lock Stu in F4 as well. 

So that would leave James as F5.

Wow I thought James was a shoe in for F2 after that sparkly music in M&G and favourable edit. Maybe Jarrod will be F2 after all.

I've struggled to see James as anything but friendzoned for a couple of reasons:
- his edit reminded me of Cam/F5 who was like a best mate on the show and so sweet and viewers backed him and gets a great edit even the same music as Cam got for his M&G. 
- add in Jimmy following IG @insta.single and racy pics IG page @rudergirl is definitely not F1-like at all imo (stuff like that ruled out Matty for F1 for me last season. F1s have never done that kind of thing) as well as following other female contestants from Matty's season. 
- tagged pics of Jimmy out and about post-show getting pics with females (his IG is tagged with them) - definitely not F1-like behavior nor F2 behavior imo. 
- Sophie posting a pic of James on her IG when he was a monk and him on her back and I just can't see her doing that if he was in F4. I'd see her doing so if he was F5 and just a friend (like Georgia was with Cam as F5). 

Based on just those things I'd be shocked if Jimmy was in F2 with all that SM activity and post-show behavior so it's no surprise to me if he doesn't make F4 either.

ETA: this pic says it all imo. Sophie's hands in her lap while Jimmy is kissing her.

If the screen caps are showing all families but James, was his posting I think now deleted about excited to introduce his family (that was a few posts back) just expressing how hopeful he was at the time then?

James - Screencap sleuthing suggests James is out at F5.

Apollo - Osher accidently posted that he hoped to see Apollo on BIP and then quickly deleted it... which would seem to rule out Apollo.

Blake - SM pictured him back from filming on Aug 5.

That leaves the only possibilities fro F1 to be Stu and Jarrod.

Jarrod - The way Jaqui O was talking about Jarrod on the radio show after she already knew the winner rules Jarrod out for me.

So the only conclusion is that Stu is the winner.

Not a surprise that Stu is the winner

Apparently Jarrod and Blake are also on Bumble: http://www.cosmopolitan.com.au/bachelor/the-bachelorette-australia-2017-jarrod-blake-bumble-24345

There is no doubt in my mind that Stu wins.

Wow James not even top 4 breaks my heart.

I haven't been invested in this season and with that I think a fork has officially been stuck into me. Stu as F1. Blake in F4??? What a ridiculous, scripted, fake season. Cant buy it at all. Sorry guys

(Reposting here from the wrong thread...)


Sorry if this theory has already been posted, and I know I'm coming into this series late, but is it plausible that the bombshell at Hometowns is Sophie finding out Stu is still married?

If Sophie has chosen Stu, my worry is that she got a bit lost and over-flattered by Stu's determination to be on the show in order that she didn't pick someone else. I can't recall where I read it, but I'm sure Sophie has said in the past that with previous boyfriends she often felt flattered that they had 'picked' her. Feels a bit same/same.

My final thought is that for someone who has expressed her desire to just settle down and have a regular family, she's sure picked a tricky partner who will need to travel away regularly to see his family and attend to business. I wish her the best, but geez...
