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

I always saw it as a pact especially considering they met each other before the show and his SIL was already following her before filming started on her TM IG and all the promotion for Toni May - even by Matty in the finale. If she could have, the FRC ring would have been Toni May!! jmo

She didn't even look at it.

Well guys, I knew that was coming but it was still so horrible to watch. The fact that Elise gained a bigger support network on SM then others after coming into the race half way through the season just shows how well her personality translates. A genuine delight to watch come alive on screen and the only reason I enjoyed this season imo.
Who's coming aboard the Elise train? Next stop Adelaide to pick up the family. Wine and cheese will be served promptly.

At least now I can focus on my sewing again

Just for the record. Toni May jewellery looks like something you would buy at a cheap market that would turn you finger green (insert mike drop) See ya sleuthers, wish I could say this one was fun but it was just weird. See you all on Sophie's pages

Ps. Give Elise her bloody coin back

Just need to have a rant. I feel like the the bachelor producers don't know the public at all and this is going to result in the series eventually being axed. As a viewer I believe that he picked Laura because she was the one who would increase his social profile the most. I think that instead of picking leads who are past contestants they should just pick good unknown leads. I loved Sam Wood's seasons not because I loved Sam Wood bit because I believed the narrative and loved his journey. I don't believe Matty or Richie grew at all as a person by going through this experience and I did not buy into their narratives. Overall I am a bit annoyed at the bachelor producers and at Matty and it makes me want to stop watching this series.
Thanks for putting up with me guys. You have made this season more enjoyable (P.S. I have had a few wines)

But the prices for Toni May jewellery is ridiculous. The best part is Laura has to wear the damn ring

Elise if you are reading this you need to create an actual 'Elise train'. Best marketing strategy ever.

Umm is Matty just repeating lines he has already said before and him saying "somebody"? He doesn't even mention Laura's name...

Also... Matty... you say you couldn't be happier... then try look a bit happier and in love mate.

I seriously don't see the same giddy Matty from last year when he was in love?

Oh well Congrats to the happy couple!

Our happy couple, Matty and Laura, are here with a special message. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/Xbqtem1KXU

Wow at least Alex and Richie looked like they were smitten with each other....@AllAboutLove
Do the cameras make them uncomfortable? Something is way off

I feel he played Elise bigtime. Not cool Matty, not cool at all. Shows me the kind of guy he really is. A jerk. .

It really does look scripted. I don't know, I think I see it that way because I feel like they've both just done it to boost their profiles imo
