"I've heard this quite a bit as of late, but Matt has found the love of his life, which I'm so stoked for. I think that I will too," Angies tells TV WEEK at the 61st annual TV WEEK Logie Awards.

So hard at the moment @Bobette when we’ve seen so few images of the girls. I think it will be a blonde, which will explain Sportsbet having low odds for a blonde. Based on what little we have, I’m going Ruffles or White Crochet Dress for F3 and F2, they are interchangeable, and someone with black hair for F1

@Dirty Street Pie I am totally on the same page.

Another thing about F3 IMO is that they often seem to be someone TPTB want to keep on the back burner as a possibility for next Lead - moreso than F2 IMO.  F2s are harder to parade out as next Lead because they're meant to be heartbroken and blah blah blah but F3s have that bit more emotional distance and can "get over it" quicker (all semantics of course since in reality there's like a week's difference in the length of time they spend with the Lead).  They also tend to be "fan favourites" (Tara and Brooke had a much larger following in the wider audience compared to Elise and Sophie/Britt IMO).

Ruffles I could see being in the top 3 because I can't get past the chemistry I see between them, but realistically I'm not sure how much of a following she'll have among the wider audience.  White crochet is classically beautiful - tall, blonde, willowy thin.  She'd bring the boys to the yard IMO so potentially more "next Lead" potential and for that reason possibly a shade ahead for F3 in my mind.  Chelsea (?) I still think would make an excellent F2 if we've got the right girl, but otherwise she'd be up there for F3 too IMO.  And then there's Sogand, but getting the first date puts her more at F4-F5 for me.  

We just really need more to go on at this point.  Hopefully tomorrows New Idea/Woman's Day might throw us a bone or two.

Honestly, TPTB can manipulate the audience  to like whoever they want them to like. If they want us to like Ruffles, they will edit it so. 

If, like Tara, she’s funny and sparky they’ll just let her run with it and show us all of that. If she’s just a normal, nice person like Brooke they’ll keep her out of any “mean girl” action, and play up her connection with the lead at the expense of the F1/2 so that we’re all horrified when she goes out at F3.

Ha ha yes you are quite right @Dirty Street Pie

As a proud nerd and Trekkie, I am personally offended by this line of questioning.  

ETA: Osher saying "OK ladies now let's play some made up sports games" is a direct reference to the Somersby group date IMO.

@HannahBanana thanks for posting the link! He is dashing in that white blazer! So flippin cute! Cute clip in the link too!

The twitter pattern is awesome! Thanks for putting that together @Bobette! Something we should watch out for every season in all franchises!

On Osher's instagram, @osher_gunsberg is replying on the picture he posted of him, Matt & Angie to anyone who says Matt and Angie should just get together, they look good together that Matt has chosen someone and is loved up and in love so that wouldn't be possible. Sorry, I don't know how to bring over but it's under this picture.

They must have decided there going to allow him to say he's chosen someone based on Nick's season and they want people to know they'll get a love story. I wonder if this will carry over into when he does the media run.

Got it - thanks @Zaynab

Oh yes they will be shouting it from the rooftops that this season will end with a happy couple after last year's vicious backlash and I'm sure Matt will be encouraged to tell anyone who'll listen how in love he is.

One thing I noticed in that radio interview above is that Osher ran over MIGHTY FAST when Matt was being interviewed which suggests, even though he's obviously very smart, that he is not very media savvy yet.

That might work in our favour if he slips up or is easy to read.  I look forward to scrutinising every word and every facial expression when the media rounds commence (also zooming in to look for black hairs on his white jacket ).  

Meanwhile, Nick's contract must have just expired because he did a tell-all interview last week and wow, yeah, he did not enjoy being on the show at all let's just say that.  The phrase "feared for his soul" was used.    

So TPTB have some damage control/brand rebuilding to do all round IMO and a successful season would be the best antidote.  Which I'm totally fine with. Uggggghhhh I just want it to start now already!

ETA:  Anyone seen today's trash mags yet?  I'm keeping an eye on NowtoLove etc to see if they're going to give us anything to work with.  A name or two for the girls we haven't confirmed yet would be super handy TYVM.

Looking for black hairs!

It looks like they picked a good one to have a redemption season! (knock on wood, no jinxing!)

I'm trying to remember if any former Bachelor's were able to profess their love right after filming?

I'm believing Osher, Matt looks so happy!

This is the advantage of a non-celebrity Lead IMO. They won't have been "spoiled for choice" in the same way celebrities are. Osher said in an interview that Matt couldn't believe his luck that so many gorgeous women were interested in him.

Thank goodness they went with a civilian this time. I hope the season rates through the roof and they realise celebrities simply don't work with this format. I do remember Matty saying he was in love and also Georgia so yes I think they are allowed.

Nick never once said he was in love (did very few interviews, dodged the question, said things like "I'm bloody happy" but not "I'm in love" or anything like that. Red flags with his season from the very start!

...And social media including his family did not help much.

Or that article, can't recall from where, paraphrasing, will you accept this rose? yes? they said yes?? They all said yes! An indication of how dorky naive he is in such a good way.

I totally agree. Choosing a non celebrity is much more enjoyable.

Nick couldn't wait to get out of there!
