Ali Oetjen - Taite Radley - Bachelorette Australia - Season 4 - Discussion

Not sure how long Taite will continue to work in the bank. He has been spruiking to get 10 people to have personal training with him.

Ali launched her ebook. Suppose to be $30 off for the first 50 customers but for many days, the offer is still on. Ebooks are supposed to be cheap and she a nobody was charging $69.90! I could buy a real book from credible health professionals.

So they're still together right? Beating the 14 February breakup prediction?

That said as far as I can tell, it's a LDR. She's still in Adelaide, him in Melbourne. They just get together for events and photo ops.

Also she doesn't seem happy. This ~scandal~ with her posting a selfie of herself in obvious makeup-filter-app makeup and then posting a crying selfie saying its because she doesn't feel pretty enough is all just weird imo. Hun we all know what you look like you were on 3 different tv shows within a couple of years, twice a week for 3 months at a time. Ali Oetjen shares teary selfie after getting hate for editing her photos

Yeah their contract would be up by now but as I said upthread I reckon they'll prolong the charade a bit longer to "prove" they were legit.  Not fooling me.  Everything about them is fake - relationship, selfies, body parts, personalities - everything, IMO.

Now Taite said Ali has moved to Melbourne. Why no photos of them doing things together other than those posted to give a shout out to products placement

1. I don't believe for one second she's moved to Melbourne.  Flying over now and then to take some selfies, pretend to be in love and pimp crap products as you say, that I could see.

2.  If she DID move to Melbourne, she'd be an A-grade hypocrite because she said F1 not being willing to move to Adelaide would be a deal breaker. Either way she looks a fool IMO.

I see zero proof she's moved to Melbourne or that they're living together or anything like that.

It wouldn't surprise me if producers threw them some extra bucks to keep up the lie a little longer.  It looks so bad for the show to have this relationship fail, when Ali's season was such a failure ratings wise - at a time when Channel Ten is so close to cancelling it.

I just checked Alis instagram and was surprised they are still together. Imo he seems more happy in the photos of the two of them now. His eyes are different imo.

Really? I think he looks like a prisoner.

I might regret saying this when they're still together in 40 years with grandkids, but I don't think they'll last.

It's a straight up business arrangement IMO - they think they're more "marketable" as a couple than solo.  They will only "split" if and when one or both of them gets outed/caught with another party, IMO.

Exactly. I think that's what it is - an arrangement of mutual convenience.

I note also that the show has only recently completed airing in at least two African countries that I know of, and I saw many comments on Ali's IG about how happy the viewers in the countries it aired were that they were still together. So just because it finished airing here so long ago doesn't mean there weren't still production/ratings reasons to stay together.

I feel unreasonably sniggery that Taite's IG follower numbers (67.9) are far lower than current Bachelorette F1 Carlin,s (at 125k). That must truly gall the thirsty try hard .........

Considering Carlin started with only 29.6K in Oct. Taite is not so popular
