Bachelorette Australia - Season 4 - Ali Oetjen - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Dirty Street Pie wrote:WT actual F am I reading here? Surely they’re too far in to can her now? This is just Sportsbet trying to get money for free because anyone who bets on it loses if Ali stays as Bette.

No, "bets are VOID" if Ali continues as Lead.  Not all in betting.  Which means Sportsbet would have to refund all bets.  Sportsbet do not like giving money back.  Something's going on guys... OMG can you imagine the frenzy if she has walked out.  Not to mention the lawsuits for breach of contract... Oh to be a fly on the wall at Osher's place right now.

I don't think they have time to film The Bachelorette all over again with another lead.

This is 2nd week of The Bachelor and another 6 weeks to go. They cant film another new series in 6 weeks.

IMO they could, if they had all the dates in the back yard of the mansion, cut the cheese platter budget, and put the money towards additional freelance editors/post production crew (joking but not joking)

They put together a season of BiP US after the Corrine scandal and they lost about 50% of their filming time there, plus I could see one of the ex-MAFS desperados being fame hungry enough to jump at the chance.  

Question is, would they bother?  Ch 10 is in flux right now with pilot week.  Anything could happen.  Bette could easily get replaced IMO.  We joked about Ali killing the franchise but maybe she actually has.

And if so I think the greatest tragedy is: WE WILL NEVER GET TO MEET SHEEP MAN. *single tear rolls down cheek*

ETA:  Let's keep an eye on Nick's girls SM activity especially Brooke (https://www.instagram.com/b_rooklynb/).  If anyone suddenly drops off the radar, we might have a do-over with new Lead on our hands.

How far along in filming were they at the last Ali spotting?

Could they make it the most dramatic Bette ever...for real. They show everything filmed up to that point...including the freak out or whatever. Then have a REAL MTA with them spilling the beans with what went on. The rest of the time the show would have aired, replace with reruns...or would they have time to film BIP to slot in there?

I believe they could still air what they have and I’m sure they have people who would be frantically rewriting the narrative to fit the storyline. For the first time ever I’m interested in bachette 18

Last publicised date was this one where she drove blonde pretty boy around the block (reported on 02/08 but it took place the previous Wed, 25/07) and then on 08/08 there were reports of the show being "marred by controversy," with her having a "meltdown" and kicking someone out for discussing her cheating.  So last reported date was almost a month ago....  

What’s to say when Ali had a meltdown the men decided she wasn’t worth their attention. If the men thought Ali really was a cheat (maybe the guy kicked out had inside info?) I can’t see them vying to be F1. And if the show is canned to pay top dollar for more men would surely bankrupt Channel 10. I guess they could ask the men to come back for a second try at love (personally I wonder how many are genuine).
BIP is supposed to start filming in a few months so filming another Bachelorette series might be pushing it IMO.

How many episodes in would that be? 2 or 3? And I don't remember, but how many episodes does the Bette usually have?

"Ali not bachelorette" thing both with Sportsbet and with media has been going on since before she even started filming and it was bs then as it is now imo.

As posted in the filming thread here, this week is Finale Week going by Ali's filming schedule matching Georgia's so filming should wrap up this week with FRC. 

Hopefully there will be some sightings or media. May need to watch Osher, Helen and others on the show for some clues


ETA: with GL's season there were no pics or media for 20 days before FRC when sleuthing back then so it's not out the norm for things to be more quiet the last weeks of filming media-wise.

I prefer my version of events where Ali throws a tantrum and storms off set like Veruca Salt when she didn't get an Oompaloompa and then TPTB have to digitally graft her face onto a body double with CGI just to finish the season...

...but your interpretation probably makes more sense.  

I found the mansion The Bachelor stayed this season. (The mansion is now at the northern beaches)

If The Bachelorette also stay in the same mansion, then filming will end soon. The mansion is rented till 1 Sept based on listing on airbnb.

Currently the girls on The Bachelor were staying at 1059 Spicer Rd, Oxford Falls.

Brooke's navigator showed the location of the Bachelor's den at Belrose.
With further investigation the address of the mansion is 221-227 Forest Way, Belrose.
