First named girl:  Cassandra Wood.  Should we set up a thread for Cassandra, @AllAboutLove?

Is it just me or do these girls look ROUGH!?   I can't stand half of them already.  

ETA: More on Cassandra:

Miss World Australia NSW finalists Cassandra Wood, Lavinia White and Luca Kronenberg at Manly Beach.



Wood, a 22-year-old commerce student from Avalon, said that while she thought she had a good chance of taking the crown she had “no idea” how to prepare.

“I didn’t know what to expect in terms of how to prepare, but I watched the news and learnt more general knowledge,” the part-time rugby player explained.

She also is an actor on Home and Away, playing a surfer and student.

LOL at Daily Mail throwing subtle shade by putting "actress and model" in quotation marks.

GuardianAngel wrote:@Bobette was there speculation he dated her before?

Quoting an 'unnamed source' the Daily Telegraph claimed that Nick had known hopeful Cassandra Wood for more than 12 months and the pair were 'more than friends'.
The source went one further, telling the publication that Nick and Cassandra were dating.
'They've definitely been more than just friends,' the source claimed, adding that Cassandra wasn't aware that Nick would be the Bachelor until the start of production this week.
It was also suggested that Nick and Cassandra had been spotted together at a number of events, including the Fall's Festival over New Years and at an Australian Open of Surf event in Sydney's Manly in March.

Season 1, Anna = second date (episode 3)
Season 2, Sam = fourth date (episode 5)
Season 3, Snezana = second date (episode 3)
Season 4, Alex = fourth date (episode 5)
Season 5, Laura = second date (episode 3)

So if the pattern continues, it might actually be the NEXT date who gets to F1.  If the fourth date girl is Cassandra (who he's apparently met and briefly "dated" on the outside, I'll be very suspicious we have yet another pre-planned F1....

Looks like maybe he kept all 3 intruders and sent the two blonde originals packing?  

That would mean Cassandra is the only blonde left - and Sportsbet are still tipping a blonde to win!

Why are they betting on a blonde?

I believe they are betting on a blonde because it was mentioned in previous DM articles the the Bagder had met/dated Cassandra previously, and she is an original blonde still standing. I suspect it's another case of Matty/Laura and Sophie/Stu having met each other before filming starts, and then carrying on with the show.

Or Sportsbet might not know anything yet, and be basing the betting on the fact that his previous long term girlfriend was a blonde.

GuardianAngel wrote:@Dirty Street Pie Thanks! I was confused because I thought they were betting blonde when there were more than one blonde still left, but I may be mistaken.

Dirty Street Pie wrote:I’m going to be really annoyed if this is the way it plays out, and he chooses Cassandra, who he has dated previously. I mean, I get that Australia doesn’t have the population of the US, but surely TPTB could at least try to choose a lead who hasn’t previously met/dated a contestant.

Guys, if you want to date, just do it, you don’t need to go on TV and make our sleuthing boring. If Cassandra gets the twinkly entry music on night 1 I’ll be calling forks on the entire season right there and then

LeapofFaith wrote:is cassandra the only girl left that has had a single date?did she have the 4th single date? has he let all the other single date girls go?!

wow this is going to be either cassandra as f1 or hopefully a more interesting season to sleuth because all his single date girls are gone?and they are all brunettes?

Bobette wrote:Single date with Cassandra from Tues 01/05.  This has to be a second, IMO.  I suspect her first happened behind closed doors away from the paps to hide their chemistry and make it seem like anyone else actually had a shot. Another pre-planned F1, IMO.






She certainly has... ahem... "body confidence"  

Wet and wild! The Bachelor's Nick 'Honey Badger' Cummins goes shirtless as he flirts with bikini-clad Home and Away extra Cassandra Wood at Sydney theme park

Nick 'Honey Badger' Cummins will make his debut as the new Bachelor in the coming months and has provided a taste of things to come.

On Tuesday, the former rugby star went shirtless while on a date with Home And Away extra Cassandra Wood at the Wet'n'Wild Sydney water park.

During filming, Nick, 30, and Cassandra, 23, flirted with each other before riding a steep water slide.

Cassandra, a Miss World Australia NSW finalist from Sydney's Northern Beaches, looked thrilled to be in the raft with curly-haired Nick behind her.

The ambitious blonde, who is pursuing a modelling and acting career, flashed her derrière in a Brazilian bikini in between rides, and was seen affectionately placing her hand on Nick's back.

Earlier in the day, Nick picked Cassandra up in a yellow school bus and the two were inseparable thereafter.

At one point, the former athlete hoisted Cassandra over his shoulder before engaging in another round of flirty banter with her.

Nick was indeed in high spirits, despite reports he had almost quit The Bachelor after producers urged him to 'clean up' his rugged look.

In March an insider told New Idea that producers demanded Nick shave off his 'porn star moustache and clean up his unconventional look to make his appearance more attractive'.

The former footy player allegedly then threatened to 'walk out of the reality show for good'.

'There is still a fear that he just won't resonate with the majority of girls, so they are really banking on his sense of humour and down-to-earth demeanour to win them over,' the source said.

The couple also dared to try the Sydney SkyCoaster, touted as the world's largest double SkyCoaster.

The couple were strapped into a harness and lifted more than 70 metres into the air before being left to freefall towards the ground.

Dirty Street Pie wrote:This season has a very strong stench of Toni May about it already, and it hasn't even started yet. The rest of the girls will just have to give their best auditions for BIP, because I fear this season is a scam.

I was just thinking the same thing

Bobette wrote:For me, the whole season will hinge on the very first moment Nick and Cassandra "meet" on the red carpet and whether or not they acknowledge that they already know other.

Sophie got away with saying "You look familiar - I think we've met?" to Stu.

Matty got away with saying "You look familiar - I think I've seen you around Sydney?" to Laura.  

Nick CANNOT get away with saying "You look familiar - I think we've been to several public functions together and had regular sex over the past few months?" to Cassandra.

So what will he say?  If they play dumb and pretend they don't know each other then TPTB are taking us for complete idiots and the whole franchise has jumped the shark, IMO.
