Bachelor Australia Season 6 - Nick Cummins - SM Media #2 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Finch wrote:Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster.
I wonder though why Britt would post no less than 10 pics of their second date on instagram if they were not together any more??

it can goes both ways: either she is the happily F1 or she is the dumped F1 looking for fame.

On Brittany's Instagram account, she describes herself as Perpetual Wanderer.
Find me outdoors. Or indoors, whatever.

I feel that Nick would use similar words to describe himself as he's always on the move. eg Kimberley Spirit, National Geographic plus promotional tours.
They discussed their common interests when they first met and since then. It appears they would make a good team IF they stay together.
In a post 6 days ago, Nick made a pointed remark about going to the Kimberleys which helped him "reconnect to what’s real in this world". That may indicate a split but also he is simply fed up with all the speculation post Bachelor filming.

Yes. I think Britt and nick have a lot in common.

I have a question here because I am French Canadian and sadly never visited Australia. I read that most Australian under 30 are outdoors, hiking or surfing and settle down married around 35. I understand it is a stereotype but it looks like Britt is not really an exception and it is quite common? It seems to me that all the Aussie seasons I watched, all contestants and leads have quite the same goals no?

I also read that nick is very involved into organizing trekking camps with a bunch of dudes and the theme is about to reduce the high level of suicides in AU. Said he loves to go with dudes and let’s them talk and remove some steam. I think it is very commendable for him to do that. In that, it is very similar than Brooke who is also helping young kids with alcohol, violence and suicides.

To be fair to some of the contestants, it's not hard to be a completely genuine person, not looking for fame, and have some famous people in your extended friend group. Especially if you live in certain areas.


I haven't done anything special, am a complete hermit and you couldn't pay me enough money to do ANYTHING that would put me in the public eye... but, without trying, I have managed to accumulate in my extended friends group a fair number of famous people from different areas and I pop up in photos with them quite a bit. It's not that unusual IMO.

Thanks for this clarification!
I am thinking that some places are small worlds and same generation mingle together at the same places?

It's hard for me to believe that they've broken up just based on how Nick's family has acted on SM, and not just the fact that Britt posts so many pics of their date, but the captions also. There's always rumors every season, sometimes they turn out to be true, sometimes they're false. I personally need something a little more concrete before I believe them 100%, otherwise I'm reserving judgement.

Moved from the episodes thread.

Second reminder: To keep threads on topic, please be sure to post of social media or media in this thread. Thank you so much

I completely agree

Of course the media are usually right; they get 95% of their info from our super sleuthing members.

I believe Channel 10 already responded in a 'less subtle' way by using The Bachelor Instagram account instead of making a formal statement. They posted 8 lovely photos of Britt's second date with Nick - 4 with the ferry cruise and 4 with the Wildlife Park and evening. To me, they look like a couple in love.

This article just hurts my head. Never in a million years would have I matched these too. I just don’t know what the think

@Cheriden @Finch @socialise! So glad to have you all join us and great posts and sleuthing

So many rumours of Nick DMing girls, and shagging about that there surely is some nuggets of truth in there. But where is the smoking gun? Surely one of these girls has taken a sneaky post shag selfie, or offered to sell their DMs to the Daily Mail? If the Mail had evidence, would they run with it straight away, or would they wait until finale week for maximum impact?

It could just be rumors and everything is fine.

If not, then I think media would wait until finale for maximum impact.

I recall when there were rumors about Blake and Sam Frost they waited until afterwards. More $$$ for DM and media to post evidence they have closer to/after finale.

Speaking of Blake/Sam Frost. This season the F1 and F2 being so close reminds me of Blake's F1 and F2. If there is something that went awry, I suspect that it will make a lot of sense post-finale.

The exit interviews of contestants (Tenille recently) seem to imply imo they are happy to not be chosen. Reminds me of exit interviews of many on Blake's season

She posted only 5 pics of her second date, not 10. She also repeated verbatim what he said which could be a form of sarcasm IMO. Also only one looks like a couple on 2nd date. The one all the mags used so far.

This for me is not a woman in love right now... needed red. Wine to watch the episode uh?


I also would like to pinpoint the heavy sexual innuendos that Nick used: there is something about a woman holding a snake.....

One thing is sure though, the bachelor au Instagram does not support much Britt romance... versus Brooke where they posted 3 pics of nick and her kissing and vid.... the references made about Britt are Good egg and the date was mad as a cut snake............ even the pic confirms my body language analysis which is Britt was more interested in him than him.

They posted 3 pics of nick and Brooke kissing with romantic captions. 12 pics of Brooke.... vers 4 of Britt talking about egg and snake...........   and the one with Sophie? Could not be worse. Not even a romantic kiss to balance Brooke? I understand hiding but here it is pretty. Ridiculous imo

I can’t help but think when the break-up occurs Britt will be seen to have had her heart ripped in two.

Bernadette supported Brooke before Britt and even said miss you to Brooke. But yes they do support Britt. And why not? At this point, family met the top 2, Britt is from the same town they all grew up, Britt is not a villain and they all participated to this crazy edited tv show.

I think everyone uses twitter, instagram and Facebook these days. Instagram is imo the most popular and friendly user.

However, the recent inta incident gives another WTH on top of a lot of rumors, SM activities, interviews, Instagram postings etc for me to think they are together. The happy in luv vibe is not there for me.

All is JMO
