It wasn't meant to be and at least James was spared being dragged further - especially not having to go to F2.

Hope you find a woman who will want and chase you too Jimmy heartbeat

So no real prospect for a returnee lead then? Blake is a snake, Apollo too young and Jarrod too clingy.

So gutted. I'm missing tonights episode anyway and couldn't even care less. This has by far been the worst season. Says a lot when not even the glorious Sophie can save it.

Sophie's been great, it's just that the men were almost entirely unsuitable. I can't believe they didn't have more over 40s applying, they just chose instead to cast this group of young guys who were clearly never going to be in the running, IMO. They really left her with only one option and I'm still not convinced he's a good one.

Isn't Apollo the same age as Matty? Mid-20s is fine for a Lead IMO, so long as they're mature enough to take the role seriously and have enough "stage presence" to carry it off. I think Apollo would be good. IMO a Lead doesn't have to be ready to settle down and have babies - saying "I want to find a partner to share my life with right now" is good enough for me.

The fact that they announced BIP Aussie S1 while Sophie season was airing makes me think they only cast people to go on BIP. I don't think any of Sophie's season men were cast to be a returnee lead.

@Bobette I think Matty just turned 30, Apollo is 24, although as you say it's not like the US where they are going to get engaged at the end, so I guess they could go a younger lead.

Oh wow really Matty is 30?! I thought he was younger. The season wrapped 5 minutes ago and I've already expunged it from my mind.

I think a young Lead would be good. They'd have to find some mature 20-something girls for him though... which could be a problem. laugh out loud

I would like a new lead someone like a Sam wood please! I am not invested enough in any of Sophie's guys , so a new fresh lead would be great imo and it might salavage the bach au as I feel like it's lost that special feeling I used to get....if that makes sense? Jmo

Apollo is 24. Matty is 30. I will be shocked if Apollo is cast as lead, even if he may have an edit for one. Plus Osher ~~accidentally~~ tweeting about Apollo being on BIP says it all imo that TPTB have him in mind for BIP (and TPTB may already have someone in mind for Bach lead who is not a returnee which I think is a good thing). I think Apollo is a great catch and I think he would be great on BIP. Much less chance of him being hated like returnee Bach leads are by the end of their season especially if they don't pick the fan fav and because it's usually downhill for returnees as Bach lead. He would definitely make BIP legitimate and be the biggest ratings draw for the show imo (huge for him and in a positive way) as basically he could be one of the originals which is a plus.

Just to defend BIP a bit: as much as some contestants may bash BIP it's actually far more realistic imo considering it is one person dating one person at a time - unlike Bette/Bach one person dating and making out with multiple people (essentially "cheating" on people as the lead). The US show already has more odds-success with BIP than their other shows and overrall the contestants come out far better than if they were leads. I am not sure if Apollo would do it but if he did (and whomever chooses to go on it) they could potentially make themselves even more of a brand than leads and have more opportunities and better odds for a great edit and less chance of negativity/backlash. It's a win-win for him or most any other guy that goes on it imo. I have a feeling that the guys who turn it down will regret it. jmo

Oh my god I’ve just worked out who Stu reminds me of - Gary Glitter, minus all the yucky stuff. That is all, I’m off again

TPTB are going to wind up Jarrod with so much reassurance (you've got this, Stu is an Intruder) that Jarrod will be need to be carried if he is F2 at FRC

TPTB are playing him like a puppet. It's actually rather sad imo.

In Ep. 7 the call out order kinda indicated this

Jarrod is up first for hometowns. His edit has improved immensely. Why did you have to make him look like such a loon TPTB?
