They had to delete it because the sound wouldn't work for some reason.  There were a ton of comments saying that.

But wtf happened to Elise's lucky coin???

I agree it wasn't an overly romantic season, but not every person is the same. I think both Matty and Laura aren't very comfortable with PDA. That doesn't mean they can't be in love IMO.

Matty knew from the very first day Laura was the one he wanted. I don't think he was really very interested in any of the other girls. He had to act through the entire season. That's what made this season feel off.

I knew as soon as they described Elise as the "girl next door" and "the perfect match on paper", she was never going to be F1. The same happened on previous seasons. It was like Nikki al over again.
There's always going to be a F2. And most of the time it's the one most liked by the public.
It's the way this show works. I think Elise is going to be alright, like every F2 eventually.

I don't think Matty deserves all the hate he is getting on SM. He choose the girl he fell in love with and he thinks is the best fit for him. Who are we to judge!

I hope they are gonna make it. I like them as a couple.

Also, I don't understand the anti-returning contestants sentiment.  For me, whether it's a returning contestant or a brand new contestant, the issue will be the same - the producers and the editing!  The last comparison to non-returning contestants is Sam wood and yes that was a great season but it was also done by different producers so it's not a fair comparison IMO.  It's yearning for something that's never going to happen cause the conditions are different now.

I think they should retire the show as it's so boring now if we're only ever going to get the same storyline.  I certainly won't tune in next year because it's same ol' same ol'.  Sam Wood was a fantastic lead i really enjoyed that season.  Give it up Channel 10 the novelty is over now. Although i will be watching Sophie!!

my SC post-finale message from tonight

Matty looks so tired in this photo.

Laura looks like she had a "Ross 4-Mississippi" moment with the fake tan

Yep, and now Williamsburg and green point, from where the price creep is now spreading into my own queens neighborhood. Unreal prices. (Sorry to be off topic)

Thanks for the insights into the seeming cultural divide Tara was supposedly referencing....
