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

OK so the cocktail party was very interesting and different.

Yes, sophie is definitely interested in Stu but I did not see her going OTT with him.

I saw AGAIN Luke in the middle of the drama/jalousy. Luke is always with Blake and Sam and often also with Brett and Ryan....... I mean, so far prods did not portrayed those guys as saints but villains so it is funny that I find luke always around them... just saying. Again I think none of them are truly villains... but it is funny that prods included them as villains in their script

James was AGAIN almost hidden but not enough that we know he is there and I saw him worried (said something nice: sophie will pick the one she feels the most connected with.... instead of bitching like sam/luke/blake/ryan/jarrod. It is very obvious to me now that prods are either showing luke being jealous or just in the middle of the drama and James is generally nowhere around . I saw Stu who was a bit uncomfortable with the guys.

Narrators are still jarrod, blake and a bit of stu.

Next episode will be another drama...... jarrod suspects that someone peed in his plant while sophie is growing.    I am so so so done with jarrod....................... he really plays on my nerves.

so I captured few moments. The near miss kiss-you-on-the-lips with Stu was funny.

and last the RC.... which I think was emotional for the guys but mostly less edited. We are used to see a no sound, no talking, rose ceremony.... this time, we saw many reaction.

What ****I**** noticed is how sophie's voice changed when she called james.

Did they wear lipstick??????    

It was also interesting that the last image was harry leaving and luke watching at the window. Not sure what prods wanted us to interpret here.

Also when Sophie likes someone when she calls one guy, she put her head on the side. she did with stu and james.

Her face when she called the 3 is kinda similar but since I did the SC, I am sharing

I also find the last pic of sophie totally gorgeous.

next episode...

TEASER for episode 6 HERE


my sc

so episode 6...

as I said, if James is not F1, then I despair to find the F1 in this franchise. Their date made me kinda teary as it was sweet and lovely and adorable. I just witnessed 2 people falling madly in love with each other in front of my eyes. I hope it is not edits. It cannot be. The way she looks at him and him looks at her is just wow

In her intro she said that she was looking for a man like her dad, made a joke about his physical but it was clear that she wanted the same kind of man. To compare james to her dad says it all. Also she used about NYC: lets make it happen. I know it could be a joke but for her, this is the kind of quick decision that she does. She also initiated the kiss like any other guy. She was really emotional when he talked. He said exactly what she was hoping: see her like her not the persona and acknowledge her way of living. He looked totally genuine and i agree with her that he would support her 100%. She even said she would be a devo after everything that happened if he did not accept the rose.

I am trying to think who can make a comparison and at this point, none of the guys. The awkwardness with luke is history. She was with all the guys except james. She said she never really dated. So for her it takes a man like james to protect her, love her unconditionally.

I saw this connection from the start. I saw how the prods went far and above with james PI during his own red carpet, and in the middle of osher first speech.

yep. James is the one for her. I truly adore this guy.























my sc

I have to say it also. do you see how close they sit near each other? I immediately thought they looked like 2 little birds wanting to snuggle.....

ooooh and by the way, she sure change her lipstick for one who will not mark him eh?


my sc

So is it only me or I find this a bit funny and weird

AJ is so tall that he has to bend on mac shoulder and hayden is rubbing james heart?

MEN from HEA on Vimeo.

couple things that stood out to me from these s/c
1. the guys LIKE James! That shows he's genuine and not a loser.
2. for being in a serious field (finance), James has great interpersonal skills. He is a happy guy (usually smiling) and seems very secure of who he is.
3. When James kisses Sophie on the head, it is protective.
4. I wish Sophie didn't have the cateye makeup going on so we could see her eyes more. She's very expressive and I find the eye makeup distracting.

for me it is no brain that he is the one. The bar is so high that I honestly do not see anyone catching this

Agreed! Let's hope we're not being set up by the prods I do recall feeling the same after Matty & Georgia's love boat date last year and we all know how that ended up.

Also, look how much James' smile lights up his face when he's talking about the kiss

@mjoy i know...

if you check well, you will notice bad edits.
right after his PI (roof), you will see sophie with a rose in her hand, few seconds later she has her glass back




my

so I always find interesting the details behind the group dates. I tried to do all the SC with sophie on the side and with who she was.

of course, prods concentrated on jarrod and how competitive and OTT he was to win. I saw many cut back and forth and mostly because I could see sophie with X and Y ... then X ... and back to X and Y.

What I noticed is that stu did not use his time on the side to be close to sophie. However james did, big time. I also saw Apollo and once Luke. The interesting part with luke is that prods inserted a PI with luke and a segment when he fell on his bike and said on PI: Well I fell and that was embarassing actually............... remember that all little details like this may seem insignificant but sometimes they do left messages here and there. This and all the zoom with him and the "villains" and heard him talking during the drama, makes me really think that he is not top 2. I am even thinking not even top 4 at this point. However, I could see one segment where she spoke with luke and behind her was james, next to her but not overly close was apollo. so at this moment her interest was turned to luke.

Now another thing that made me ponder is james saying: the old guys are getting tired and we saw a zoom with him and sophie...... again that may not seem important but for me I immediately thought that like luke it was a message about stu not making the arrival line. The importance was that it was the ONLY zoom like that with sophie where we saw her and another guy that close. If we look closely we she her body language. She is always turned or closed to james. the only time was when she was with luke or not next to james. she looked very closed to ryan and they laughed together so again, i think  she liked ryan way more than what we saw, but not romantically

also the interesting part is that we saw only: Jarrod, sam, blake and Luke ... on PI. none of the others. no james. no stu. no apollo.

Based on this... I would say james got A LOT of time with sophie on the side and at one time she laughed with him.

james F1
stu F2
apollo F3
luke or Blake F4

then Jarrod or Sam

What I also found interesting is that ryan was also seen next to sophie a lot.... so i do not buy that ryan was sent away the way we saw it. I think it was good edits.

so here are the SC in order seen but not necessary how it really happened
