Bachelorette Australia - Angie Kent - Season 5 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

The Bachelorette SPOILER: Angie Kent's 'undercover brother' Brad drops a bombshell about Timm Hanly in the finale - sabotaging his chances of winning the show

Timm Hanly has been one of the front-runners to win Angie Kent's heart on The Bachelorette.

But Angie's brother, Brad, who was featured in the first episode as an 'undercover' suitor, will apparently sabotage Timm's chances of winning in the finale.

According to New Idea, Brad will tell his sister during Wednesday's episode that he doesn't approve of the 27-year-old fireproofer.

Furthermore, what Brad tells Angie about Timm will force her to reconsider her decision going into the final rose ceremony

'It came as a shock but family comes first for Angie, so she ends up taking [Brad's] advice,' a source claimed.

The insider added that Brad's disapproval of Timm stems from the first episode of the season, when he supposedly witnessed the long-haired contestant 'saying inappropriate things about Angie' at the cocktail party.

'Even though Timm was just being Timm and joking around, they probably weren't the type of things you would want to say in front of your girlfriend's brother,' said the source.

Brad was apparently furious over the comments at the time, but his reaction wasn't aired because producers wanted to portray Timm as one of the 'good guys'.

Interestingly, Timm had expressed concerns over what he may have said around Brad early in the season, telling the other suitors: 'I don't think I said anything too bad...'

Brad was apparently blindsided when he saw Timm again because he 'didn't expect' him to make it all the way to the final three.

'He didn't expect Timm to make it until the end. So, when they come face to face for the first time, it's super awkward,' added the insider.  

Angie Kent dumps Bachelorette winner

So, The Bachelorette’s resident joker Timm Hanly seems to be the perfect guy for her.

The 27-year-old fireproofer from Melbourne, along with fitness trainer Carlin Sterritt, are the two men left competing for Angie’s heart.

And while Carlin has been tipped to win the final rose, a source reveals exclusively to New Idea that he wasn’t Angie’s first pick.

“Brad told angie he wouldn’t approve if she picked timm ...family comes first for Angie”

From the very beginning, we saw sweetheart Timm sweep the former Gogglebox star off her feet on the red carpet with a bunch of sunflowers, which Angie later revealed was a ‘sign’ from her late grandmother.

Since then, their connection has continued to blossom on screen.

“Timm can make anyone laugh whenever he wants and that’s what Angie is looking for,” a source explains.

“All the boys would agree that Timm had the strongest connection with Angie and on a chemistry level, he had it in the bag.”

Will Carlin win Angie's heart?

However, while the lovable larrikin might have been Angie’s favourite to take home her final rose, a huge bombshell from her brother Brad during hometown visits forces the Bachelorette to reconsider her decision.

“Brad told Angie he wouldn’t approve if she picked Timm,” a source claims.

“It came as a shock but family comes first for Angie, so she ends up taking his advice. She trusts her brother knows what’s best for her.”

According to the source, Brad’s dislike for Timm stems from the first episode, when he entered the house as the ‘undercover brother’ to spy on the other boys.

Carlin and Angie enjoyed a single date early on in the season.

“Timm was saying some inappropriate things about Angie during the first cocktail party,” one contestant reveals.

“Even though Timm was just being Timm and joking around, they probably weren’t the type of things you would want to say in front of your girlfriend’s brother.”

When it was revealed that Brad wasn’t a contestant and was, in fact, Angie’s older sibling, Timm began ‘freaking out’ and was certain he would be sent home that night.

Angie because the Bachelorette in the hopes of finding "the one".

“He knew he had talked badly about Angie and everyone from the start,” the contestant explains. “He was stressing and telling the boys, ‘I’m done here, lads’.”

However, despite Brad not being impressed with Timm’s foul mouth, the producers apparently didn’t want to lose one of their biggest personalities so early in the show.

His comments were swept under the rug and concealed from Angie … but the truth is finally exposed behind the scenes, when Brad sees Angie during the hometown visits.

“They told Brad he had to ignore it for now and that they would give him a chance to spill the beans to Angie later on and confront Timm if he made it to home visits,” a source explains.

“So, when they come face-to-face for the first time, it’s super awkward. He didn’t expect Timm to make it until the end.”

The shocking news from Brad is said to have left Angie so devastated, she starts to question whether Timm is really the one.

Could this be why Angie felt forced to drop her first choice on the show?

Does the bombshell from Brad see her dump the winning favourite, for Carlin?

The source says: “Everyone would say that Carlin is the perfect guy but really, Timm is the perfect guy for Angie.”

"You couldn't get three more different guys if you tried," she says, before adding with a laugh, "I told you I didn't have a type."

Going into the final week, Angie reveals she still didn't know who held her heart.

"To honest, I was completely and utterly torn – Natalie Imbruglia-style. I wanted to moosh them all together and have them as one person."

The FRC needs to have a contrast so the Lead can say "they're both so different, I love things about each of them, yak yak yak".

It's either so bad he's not the perfect guy, or it wasn't that bad and Angie overreacted.

Either way I personally think Angie's perfect choice is none of them. It's a shame the Honey Badger already pulled a Honey Badger, because this is the season where it would make sense.  Now that can never happen again.

(Can Channel Ten learn a damn lesson and never get a celebrity, quasicelebrity or pseudocelebrity as lead ever again???)

I think in the real world or with no outside influence Angie would have definitely dated Timm. On this show, not a chance would she pick him imo.

Going into the final week, Angie reveals she still didn't know who held her heart.
