Bachelorette Australia - Sophie Monk - Season 3 - *NO SPOILERS* - *SLEUTHING* Discussion*

Uncle Sam got the double delight rose! Can't believe it!
He must be this season's Tara.

It says the live stream is done for the day???

I watched all this and I don't get to see the rose ceremony? Oh, it comes back. I missed some stuff. Guys are chatting about the double delight rose. Guys seem to think Jarrod will get it...or maybe Sam who is worried he may have ruined things. Ryan the douche think she wants a real man, by which he means him.

Here comes Sophie and she grabs the double rose. Wants to give it to the man she thinks there was some chemistry with...and she grabs Uncle Sam. Jarrod was disappointed. She tells Sam that she really appreciated his sense of humour. She says he feels familiar and that she feels comfortable with him. 

Guys bitching and wondering how much longer they have and who is going home....and live stream cuts out again. 

So all the drama guys made it through the first rose ceremony. 2 guys eliminated - chad and Jamie. Didn't really see them much anyway during the show

Preview of next episode is the photo shoot group date. And a single date but can't tell who it is.

I think I may be done for the night....no and back in the middle of the rose ceremony.

Jarrod...and it freezes again. BLOODY HELL!!!

Ryan...freeze. Shoot me now.

Two random dudes go home

Tomorrow. She has a first date with someone above a stadium on sort of a zip line type thing and a group date that looks like a photo shoot. Apollo is in a gladiator outfit and she wants to touch that. Meanwhile Sam is feeling the pressure and thinks he may have a target on his back because of the double rose. First douche guy thinks he is a man amongst all the boys and the double rose should have been his so he turns on the heat at the photos shoot. Looks like he is Tarzan to her Jane and they are barely dressed. Sam is worried that she may regret the rose....

Well I will have to go check this out when the youtube version comes out since I missed a good part of the start and pretty much the whole rose ceremony.

Based on tonight, I will go with Jarrod the wineyard guy as F1. Uncle Sam as F2 or F3. Beyond that I didn't really see her much into the rest. Apollo should be around for a while because he is pretty and seems nice. Ryan should be around because he is a douche and the first douche (red jacket guy), probably as well...Drama.

Curious to see what others think.

Ok so I counted 18 guys. Is that right? Seems a small number and I don't recall any of them being as old as her or older.

Blake is the first douche guy as I keep referring to him.

There were a couple of nice guys in the middle who seemed very nervous. They may be in our top 6. I wonder if they will do any intruders for her season? They didn't do any for Matty.

Sophie seems fun and a bit raunchy. Will be interesting to hear from her at the end of this. Did she fall for someone right off the bat? I'm not sure. She seems pretty guarded to start.

sorry @sprite I woke up and then my eyes were shutting by themselves

Then I thought that for the first episode, it would be better for me to be completely new. I will post SC and comments tonight.

However, next episodes will be great to read you for sure!! thanks a lot for that!!

@AllAboutLove
I think I posted once early on in the spoiled thread about it being great to have an older Bette but I know I didn't read any of the thread. Does that disqualify me from being here?

@notarose you're fine

 I was disappointed that there were so many peacocking guys... and was anyone over 31?
Yes, I too think some of the initially quieter guys will rise to the surface. I thought the camera panned to Luke a fair amount even though he rarely talked. Thinking he might be on the radar.
Interactions with Jarrod were all good.  He's interesting and an easy conversationalist.  I can see him going far.
Curious about Sam.  They had great quick banter when they met and then she rewards his Zoolander antics.  He actually seems to have some good qualities - friendship or more?  I'm undecided about what I think of him.

 thought Sophie appeared somewhat guarded or perhaps it is the awkwardness she said she has in dating. Liked her. I find too many Bettes "cookie cutter" but not her.

I am a bit disappointed there weren't more older men. I'm worried some of these guys aren't at the same stage in life as her with wanting to settle down and have kids.

As for the quiet guys, I think James might be on the radar also cause he had a prominent M&G even if he was nervous and also cause the camera panned to him throughout the night too. As I commented before, the music they used for his M&G made me think the producers were trying to get the public to feel something for him.

So at the moment, I'm thinking in the top 6 will be:
- Apollo - cause of his prominent M&G and the focus on everyone liking him.
- Jarrod - I think he will be F1/F2
- Uncle Sam - cause he definitely has to stick around for his 2 dates. I would be shocked if he was F1 or F2 though.
- James - relatively prominent M&G and on camera
- Luke - relatively prominent M&G and on camera
- can't pick the 6th person yet. Maybe Hayden? the Dab guy. Only cause he doesn't seem like he's offending anyone and he was sorta prominent throughout the night.

i am not even half episode yet.... but so far, 3 guys stood up for me: Jarrod, James and Luke
