Well that can only mean one thing - she's going home tomorrow  

They do look good together, but isn't it a bit late for a first date?  Assuming it is the first, I suppose.

This looks to me like a fairly low effort date, reminiscent of Alex's date with Matty at about the same stage of filming IMO.  It must be almost time for second dates to commence.  I'm still wondering if Cassandra must have had a date early on that wasn't photographed or reported.  It doesn't make sense for him to keep her all this time and not take her out IMO, especially if she's the bookies favourite to win.

ETA:  Here's what we know of the filming schedule:

March 14/15 - Introductions and first cocktail party, reported Here
March 20 - Single date with "First Date Girl" - helicopter ride, paddle boarding, picnic, Basin National Park.  Reported Here
March 23 - Single date with Romy.  Strolling around Manly.  Reported Here
March 26 - Group date - women pictured leaving the mansion Here
March 27 - Woman's Day group photoshoot reported Here
March 28 -  Single date with Dasha - swimming, fishing, Dirty Dancing lift in the water, reported Here
April 3 - Group date at rugby stadium with 12 girls reported Here
April 5 - Single date with Sophie - water sports at Lyne Park in Rose Bay reported Here
April 9 - Single date or possibly SQT after a group date - hot air ballooning in the loveheart balloon (not reported in the media)
April 10 - Mini group date in Glenworth Valley with three girls (Romy and 2 others)
April 13 - Space hopper group date with intruders reported Here
April 17 - Group date with skimpy coloured bikinis reported Here. Eight girls pictured
April 20 - Single date with brunette at the zoo reported Here

Anyone else notice what I notice?  Why that massive gap between March 28 and April 3?  If Cassandra had a date during that time, that would make her the 4th date girl which, if they are following the pattern identified upthread, would be the F1 date.

We'll likely have to wait and see if that's the case when it airs yes? There are no other media outlets with information during those 5 days?

Yes I will be very interested to see if there was a hidden date with Cassandra during that time.  

None of the media outlets reported a date during those 5 days so far as I can tell and there are no pics on Diimex or matrix. Last year they "hid" the pics of Elora's overnight date with Matty until just before it aired, so the fact that there's no pics of a date with Cassandra doesn't mean they don't exist - TPTB may have paid the paps to keep them off radar.

However it did just occur to me that Easter was around that time, so maybe the whole production shut down for a break? Seems weird that they would considering they are already behind schedule, but if they had to pay their staff penalty rates to work on a public holiday, that could be motivation since Ch 10 are not flushed with cash as we know.  

Maybe there's just no need for a date with Cassandra. If he's been shagging her for the past 6 months as implied by multiple sources, then he probably already knows her pretty well. . However if TPTB are expecting the general public (who wouldn't know that info) to get behind the couple, they'd need to show some kind of relationship development.

There's always been a few dates that slip through the radar, so i’d expect that Cassandra has been one of those this season.
Has the DM been a bit lax this year compared to previous seasons? I feel like we’ve normally had a lot more spoiled dates by now? Are DM just focusing on BIP people until thats done, and then they’ll focus on Bach, or have they been scared off or fined too much for spoiling Bach, so they’re holding off?

I've always thought DM must be in bed with TPTB to some extent - not sure whether it's a financial arrangement (TPTB Pay DM to present the narrative they want told) or whether as you say, they're afraid of being fined (we know from last year there are now legal policies in place to prevent media posting anything which could identify the final 4).

This season there have already been several unexplained "oversights" by Daily Mail.  They haven't written articles about the we identified here, when usually they pilfer our information without a second thought.  Romy is a recognisable actress and she was NAMED in the photo captions on the matrix website... and yet still DM have not identified her.

So yeah, there's some kind of bribe/hush agreement between them IMO.  Hopefully we might get a similar situation to last year when DM seemed to just end up not giving a toss and chased Laura around until they caught her red handed returning from that SHV.  I still don't know what prompted them to do that but it was pretty funny at the time.  

Found some new pics on www.matrixpictures.com.au from a cocktail party dated 13/04.

The caption suggests it's the RC after the intruders arrive but Romy, Ashlea, First Date Girl, Dasha and Alisha all pictured, and I think that's Sophie in the red top?  

Nick 'The Honey Badger' Cummins pictured among a bevy of bachelorette hopefuls during a cocktail party including a bunch of new ladies.

So not sure what's going on there as none of the girls named above are pictured in the space hopper pics which are also dated 13/04. Maybe these were from an earlier cocktail party and they've only just been uploaded now?

Pics of the intruders and space hopper pics for comparison.  I don't think they actually are in the CP pics?  So then why did the pap refer to "a bunch of new ladies"?

At least there's lots of hugging and smiling going on in the cocktail party pics... do we dare hope it might be a season where the girls are allowed to get along and don't have to manufacture bitchiness and "drama"?

Ummm wow has matrix or anyone ever gotten pics from a cocktail party?? This is strange? I can’t keep up! So are the single date girls still in or are they out?

I don't know!  I'm thinking maybe they're not out after all?  It did seem bizarre that he'd get rid of all of them like that.  

Matty was down to Top 7 by the first week of May last year and the girls were on the group dates all together so it was easy to see who was left.  But, since Nick's season started filming late, maybe they're running way behind schedule and he has a lot more girls left than it seems, i.e. still only a selection of the girls going on the group dates with others staying behind at the mansion?  

@GuardianAngel, could you perhaps remove the E's from the contestants' threads until we clarify who's still there? TYIA

Apologies for the confusion!

@Bobette No problem, done!

Thanks so much, @GuardianAngel!

Found some more pics from the above cocktail party dated 13/04. There are a LOT of pics dated 13/04 with girls and Nick wearing several different outfits and doing different activities so either they're really far behind and trying to squeeze a lot in to each day, or the dates may not be entirely accurate. Anyway, it looks like the intruders were at the party just not sitting with the other girls hence why not seen in the pics above.
