Abbie Chatfield - Bachelor Australia - Season 7 - Discussion

Dirty Street Pie wrote:Per Abbie's Insta stories she's in Perth again, maybe catching up with Todd again? Maybe that will be her exit story for BIP "there's someone on the outside that I was hanging out with before I came here, and I owe it to us to see if there's anything there"  

Sounds like a likely scenario to me @Dirty Street Pie.  Gotta save face somehow since IMO she probably tried for an "upgrade" to Ciarran and got denied.

So I’m thinking that maybe Abbie will be on I’m a Celeb....

The clue reads “From a tropical paradise to jungle hell how will this reality tv beauty cope?”

It would only work if Abbie is announced as a BIP contestant before I’m a Celeb starts though. It could also be Keira, but she’s been on it before, and I think it’s unlikely that she’d be on it again? Although she’s been on BIP twice, so why not retread her again.

@Dirty Street Pie the leg in the ad looks too skinny to be Abbie IMO (I embedded it here).  I was thinking maybe Sophie Monk, but the leg doesn't look skinny enough to be her.    Of course it might just be a random leg...  

Could just be a stunt leg? Like all the girls on the early Bach promos before they announce the cast?

STUNT LEG.  

I now want to start a band specifically to call it Stunt Leg.  Yeah it could well be - I know for Love Island they used sample "beautiful people" and then viewers were really disappointed with the actual cast.    

The other thing making me think it might not be Abbie is that if the guys in Paradise had been keen on her she could still have been in Fiji till very recently, and it seems like a lot to go from that straight into the jungle.

Also IACGMOOH will air before BiP, so it might confuse viewers to have her appearances out of sync?  Especially depending on what kind of edit they give her on BiP (I suspect it will not be great).  Anyway TWT.

Maybe I’m off completely, but I think Abbie would not do that show.
First, I don’t think she is enough of a ‘ celebrity’ ( although she probably would consider herself one.) maybe in Australia having an appearance on TV might be enough ?
She is too high maintenance and would not be able to operate her seductive side enough. Her role would have to be secondary to others, more known contestants or savvy with reality TV.
Question : are they getting paid for this show? Like well enough or just ‘ room, board and ‘ per diem’?
Depending on her BIP stance ( which doesn’t look like a great redemption edit/ story), it would be confusing as you said.
I might change my mind but I think she’s looking for other opportunities to be more center stage.....

@Astrobach they call it I'm a Celeb, but you really don't have to be a celeb to be on it, Laurina and Keira have both been on it before, and they were only known for being on Bach at the time. They get paid to appear on it, with more famous people getting more money.

Abbie continues to play her best role, that of The Victim

Here's a hint love, make your Insta private, go back to your real job, stop trying to be an influencer and the hate will go away. But if you want your snout in the trough for the freebies, sponsorships and likes, suck it up princess!

Yeah, despite what young 20-somethings seem to believe, one does not have to live your whole life for the world to see on SM. There are many, many people who live great, fulfilling, PRIVATE lives. There are actual celebrities whose lives we know nothing of because if you don't want people to know things, it's not hard to make that a reality. Abbie is trying to have it both ways. And she is being dramatic. Very, very dramatic.

@appiah01
Agree, VERY DRAMATIC and immature... what does she really expect now, showing herself like this? Does she think that people will have pity on her or even have more sympathy? I would think it gets the opposite result IMO.
She is lost in that perpetual cycle of denial, not seeing how she’s putting oil in the fire by constantly justifying her behavior as her actions speak loudly for themselves. She would be better OFF SM altogether for a bit if she’s serious about preserving some form of mental health. But I doubt she’s ready to disappear just yet.
JMHO

IMO she probably expected to be Queen of Paradise and being booted early has left her with nothing to look forward to other than one embarrassing episode of BiP, followed by having to endure attention turning to the contestants who go to the end.  So she's working overtime trying to maintain visibility/relevance and it's coming across as desperate and unhinged IMO.  Girl needs to chill.

ETA:  Oh and also, Todd's now dating a super cute model from Perth.  So there's that.

the funny thing is, if Abbie had just been cool about everything after the finale aired, she would have been ripe for redemption. Just a couple of strong messages about not bodyshaming or slutshaming women would have been totally fine, would have fit nicely with the zeitgeist of 2019, and then just be chill. Just post your normal IG stuff, don't call paps on yourself, don't try and date literally anyone from a bachelor show just to stay relevant. Is it surprising that nobody picked her on BiP? They wouldn't have wanted to have just become pap fodder. I can't blame the guys at all.

all imo
