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

Dirty Street Pie wrote:So apart from the Britt/Cass confrontation at the end, it was a very typical hometown episode. 
Brooke’s endgame continued rolling along with some doubt cast by her friends, paving the way for her F3 exit, whether she walks or Nick lets her go.
Sophie and Britt’s hometowns were classic F2/F1. After a bit of light questioning from Sophie’s sisters, Nick declared himself delighted with her family and they had a big pash, whereas Britt’s hometown had Dad roasting, brother roasting and a sister stitch up. Nick and Britt left on a bit of an uneasy note, followed by the cocktail party.
Brooke is the fan favourite at this point, and Australia/casual fans will be outraged when she goes next ep. Britt has just shot herself in the foot with her confrontation tonight, she will not be a popular F1, and if she and Nick have split most casual viewers won’t really care IMO.

The edits did not show us a love story with Brit IMO at all. We saw her from start with sophie and cass and we never got to like her individually. She was always saying sarcasm, daddy jokes or jealous comments. She is a pretty girl but not a lovable girl. She has (as stated by another member here) a Romy villain vibe.

Prods had plenty of time to edit a love story IF they wanted to. They had over 2 months to edit it. They did not. Why? because as I said already, they had to anticipate a backlash from the early split. Making sure to show us *a* love story with Brooke, making us love her a la Tara, they were giving us the possibility to explain that once Brooke gone, he tried his best to give a chance to Sophie and Brit but it was never the same. He thought his F1 was the one, but reality kicked in and he decided that was not fair blah blah blah  

Am I surprised that Brooke and Nick had this rugby date? heck no. I anticipated it. If we make comparison with other franchises, I would say it was a F1 Homedate: jojo/jordan... ali/roberto ...

Cass saying they ar together? of course. no way she was going to spoil it one week prior the finale !!!

I honestly think that the prods edited Brit poorly because they do not want a repeat of Sam Diva Frost, thank you very much. Sam Frost WAS a sweetheart favorite. She played so much victim and the production got so much poop out of the mess with Blake. IMO they gave a lovely love story with Brooke, the number of instagram followers is in my opinion over the chart compared to any other current and previous contestants, even Tara who was the australia favorite sweetheart.  

Lets not forget that TEN selected the exact time the premiere would air........ and end. Discussed here many times, but so very appropriate with his out of country commitment.

No way after the edits, Brit will be happy. Nothing is showing a love story and she is definitely not edited as a favorite and the public are definitely not supporting her

my opinion  

O/T not to start a discussion on her but I'll bat for my girl Sam Frost. I'm currently rewatching Blake's season (despite the post-show stuff it was such good watching and value imo) and it reminded me how Sam Frost was amazing on that show. All the contestants were. Ugh the good ol days - this season doesn't hold a candle to it imo.  

As for Nick and his final three. From the bit I've watched, I don't see anything with Brooke and Nick. Sophie I don't see much other than some physical stuff. It was telling to me that Nick was talking about not wanting to stuff things up with Britt's HTD and that he sent Cass home after he told Britt about his history with Cass. 

I still don't see a love story (and I mean one on my tv, not even speaking yet of one that lasts in the real world) and I haven't been invested BUT I am glad that it has been fun for many others and enjoyable to watch   

Hoping for a good finale week whatever happens. Cheers 

Am I the only one, but I just watched the whole episode and I didn't have a problem with anything Britt asked and it wasn't that dramatic as its' being made out to be? They are still friends and like they both said it was an unfortunate situation they were put in, IMO i don't see a problem and still like Brittany.

ETA: SM needs to chill out, calling people names and stuff. JMO it wasn't even a bad confrontation.

You're not the only one. I completely agree. I thought they both did well given the situation. Britt wasn't bitchy at all in my opinion. I really like all of the top 4 girls.


I can't see anyone but Britt as F1 though. Unless something game changing happens, it's a done deal.


I think next week Brooke tells him she wants him and if he doesn't know for sure that she is the one... send her home. That's my prediction. She seems too invested to decide to walk out.


I think Sophie is F2 by default. He let Dasha go to be with her son, then he had to let Cass go to clear up any doubts, then he probably has to cut Brooke loose to not break her heart... and there's only Sophie left.


All I can see is the edit playing up their physical stuff and playing down Brooke and Britt's physical stuff to try to get a believable F2.

In regards to Britt and Cass's history with Nick. I mean last year there was Matty J picking Laura the girl he met before the show and Sophie picking Stu the man who she met before the show so like her or not, I can totally understand Britt's train of thought because that's a very valid concern given last year's winners who seemed chosen by their F1s before filming even started!   

I bet Britt started wondering if that was the same thing going on this season (why she thought it may be a ploy - last year showed us it very well could be!). I know it was discussed as a possibility pre-season here too. It didn't help that Cass lied/omitted about her history with Nick to Britt or the girls before being confronted about it and honestly I am a bit surprised there isn't more backlash for that but it is what it is. Backlash comes with the show these days and audiences are super fickle on SM. Next week may be totally different  

It's a crazy show and shows how sheltered from reality they all are when Britt's sister has to give the tea on the guy the women are dating in the house!  Bonkers really  

What Britt did to cass was absolutely against this WomenSupportingWomen narrative she has been trying to push for. How many times did cass say to Britt that it was inappropriate? Britt was obviously embarrassed so she wanted to make a fool out of Cass too. She was desperate for Cass to reveal every base her and Nick got to for the camera. Why was she not angry at Nick, it was on him to tell her not Cass. And yes emotions run wild in that environment and what she did is forgivable but so far she has not owned up to her behavior and her Sister and friends are saying that it was justified. And was she trying to sow a seed of doubt into Sophie and Brookes minds when Nick was saying goodbye to Cass? Im glad sophie wasn't buying it. JMO

I would never compare Nick and Cass with Matty J and Laura and Sophie and Stu . Firstly Nick did not choose Cass as his F1. It was always the Matty J and Laura show from the beginning. Nick did not ever show favouritism or a intense display of feelings for Cass. IMO Britt had nothing to be worried about and she came across as insecure and jealous in confronting Cass. This was magnified by Britt saying several times she hadn’t had a boyfriend for 6 years. This was purely a production generated drama as the girls are friends. IMO Britt has not done herself any favours and is now disliked by the general public.

I'm just talking about them knowing each other pre-show when I compare Cass and Nick to last year's leads who chose F1s they knew pre-show. If anything, it's way more intimate imo considering they had dated as Nick said so even more than what the last year's leads/F1s had pre-filming. 

What happens on the show is a different story. No way for Britt to know what is going on on other dates or that Nick would not choose Cass as F1 when he took her all the way to HTDs having known her beforehand. What we see on TV is not what they live on the show. To say that Britt had nothing to worry about is a reach imo. Britt doesn't know Nick. She spends more time with Cass than she does him. She can only go by what she sees or hears. I think both Cass and Nick should have said something right from the beginning.  

I get why not as to not put a target on her back but rather be upfront from the beginning than have to lie about it. Given Cass denied it to Britt earlier on I can see why Britt wouldn't ask Nick about it and only did so when her sister brought it up. They both seem fine with it now though so I think on the show in that isolated world it was only amped up even more.

I like all F4 women but I have to say that Britt is the least favorite. To me, she’s calculating and not in a good way. Her true colors comes out every so often. Both she and her sister are too much on social media.

I just saw an ad for the finale on the TV. Nick is standing by a gorgeous looking pool next to either a lagoon or the sea and he bends over and puts his hands on his knees... looks like he's about to throw up from stress.
