What is it about our Bachelorette Angie that you are attracted to and had you signing up for your chance at love with her?I think she is beautiful, genuine, funny and seems to have those girl next door qualities.

What is your fool-proof seduction technique/move or line?The guitar seems to work but I’m not about the tricks. Just being down to earth and fun.

What is one thing a person can do that really gets under your skin? Tell lies about me and my character to people I care about.

What three words would your ex use to describe you? Kind, passionate, confident.

Describe your dream date? An afternoon snorkelling, and/or paddle boarding around an island followed by dinner and wine under the stars on a blanket.

What are your thoughts on marriage? Would you get engaged on the show?I’m not one to rush things if the compatibility needs to be explored more. I’m very open to the idea but won’t if I’m not ready.

First date! The Bachelorette star Angie Kent holds hands with handsome brunette suitor as the pair strut across a field of greenery and enjoy a romantic boat ride

Filming for the fifth season of The Bachelorette is well under way.

And on Monday, Angie Kent was spotted holding hands with a handsome brunette suitor during what's believed to be her first date on the show.

The former Gogglebox star, 29, was spotted strutting down a field of greenery in Kurrajong, in New South Wales' Blue Mountains, during the romantic outing.

Flashing a wide grin, the blonde beauty appeared to engage in an amusing conversation with the good looking hunk in pictures taken on Monday, June 24.

At one point, the suitor held onto Angie's shoulders as she made her way through the woods.  

They then reached a wooden row boat where they enjoyed a tranquil ride along the tropical lake.

The mystery man showed off his strength by rowing the boat as he spoke to Angie on the water.

After their time on the lake, Angie and the unknown suitor glamped in an open tent where they were surrounded by romantic lantern lights.

They appeared to enjoy a glass of wine as they chatted the night away.

And on Tuesday, leading lady Angie Kent invited a group of her male suitors on the first group date, which took place in the rather unromantic surroundings of a barn.

Is this one at the back wearing a rose?!? Why is he the only guy carrying luggage?

The Bachelorette SPOILER: Angie Kent wipes away tears as she sends home a handsome suitor after an emotional rose ceremony

Angie Kent recently said she was 'spoiled for choice' with her two dozen handsome suitors on The Bachelorette.

But the former Gogglebox star, 29, is slowly learning that filming the reality show isn't all champagne and roses.

Angie was pictured wiping away tears after sending home a contestant during an emotional rose ceremony last week.

Earlier in the night, the reality star looked upbeat as she mingled with her suitors.

She was particularly drawn to a dark-haired gentleman wearing a pink blazer, navy pants and brown dress shoes.

The pair embraced during a private moment before the rose ceremony.

Angie Kent pictured out filming for The Bachelorette where she and her date went Glamping at Kurrajong. The pair went out on a lake in a canoe and then sat by a camp fire and drank wine. They appeared to get along rather well.

ETA No joy, he’s on private

First date guy is an actor.  Of course

Bobette wrote:Thanks DM.  

I'm sure his name being leaked to the media has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he got the first date, of which there are about 10000000 million pictures on Matrix, and in the previous story about Beard Man leaving, this guy was pictured comforting Angie in full view of the paparazzi.  Seems pretty clear to me TPTB want him front and centre.  

So definitely not F1 IMO... maybe F3?

 Is he the future Mr Kent? Meet Carlin Sterritt, the handsome F45 trainer and aspiring actor vying for Angie's heart on The Bachelorette

The latest season of The Bachelor hasn't even finished yet, but anticipation for The Bachelorette is already high.

On Monday, New Idea magazine prematurely revealed 12 of the suitors vying for Angie Kent's heart on the reality series - and the handsome Carlin Sterritt is already an early standout in the bunch.

The 31-year-old currently works as a trainer for the fitness chain F45 in Sydney, but he's also a part-time actor on the side with a number of roles under his belt.

Over the years, Carlin's appeared in commercials for McDonald's, Huawei, Bundaberg and more.

More recently, he starred as the lead in the independent thriller Out of the Woods.

Outside of acting, Carlin's found success as both a model and a social media influencer.

Boasting 27,000 followers on Instagram, the Sydney hunk keeps his page focused on fitness and fashion, and has collaborated with a number of notable brands.

'My social media is geared towards fitness, fashion and travel,' Carlin wrote on his Star Now profile.

'I’ve been working with a number of brands such as Hartley Watches, WPN Activewear, Industrie to name a few. I have a theme with my Instagram that seems to be working and keeping a clean aesthetic.'

He was also the runner-up in the Mr World Australia pageant in 2014, proving that he certainly isn't lacking in the confidence department.

Carlin already appears to be a frontrunner on The Bachelorette, with photos taking during filming showing him holding hands and canoodling with Angie during a one-on-one date.

They were also spotted enjoying an intimate conversation by a campfire, further solidifying his status as a serious threat to the other suitors in the competition.

Other hunks due to appear on the new season of The Bachelorette include 'the world's biggest dog lover' Ryan Anderson and BMX legend Matt Whyatt.

OMG Sportsbet why u do dis.  

So we have an unexplained 2-week delay in airing, accompanied the very next day by a change in odds?  

NOT SUSS AT ALL.  

What's the betting they re-filmed the entire FRC?

Bobette wrote:It just occurred to me that of the known contestants, the only guy who fits the NSW/31-34/Brunette profile is Carlin.  

Surely not.  He got the first date, the most pap pics, and was the first revealed in the media.  SO many reasons not to be F1 IMO.

Although, him being an actor would have come in handy if something happened post-show and they reshot the finale.  

Re: the bolded.  I really can see this happening.  I know my tinfoil hat is firmly on my head right now, and this is basically an AU version of the denial den, but I can totally see Channel Ten not being impressed if Angie did a Honey Badger or if she broke up with her original F1 immediately.  So just take a couple of weeks to do some reshoots with a contestant who can act and is willing to do what's right for the optics, and voila! You have the happy ending Australia wants.  They just have to pretend to be a couple for a few months until the heat is off and the focus is elsewhere (like when Australia is obsessed with the next season of MAFS early next year).

I need a reddit-style "RemindMe" set for 3 months time haha

ETA I reckon the betting odds will help fill in some blanks too.

Bobette wrote:I'm right there with you @leavers

We got so many pics of Carlin - three phases of his single date, comforting Angie very publicly outside the mansion when the two guys leave - leaving the group date with a rose literally PINNED to his chest.  

It was pretty clear to me TPTB wanted us to be looking at Carlin therefore I assumed he was definitely not F1, probably F2 or 3.  The first date alone should have been enough to rule him out.

BUT!  If Angie changed her mind after those pics were released, or decided that there was no one tooting her horn, they may have had to bump Carlin up the rankings to F1 (...and I BET they won't be listing his occupation as actor).

Too late to retract the photos already leaked but enough time to re-structure the narrative by delaying the premiere, reshooting some "corrective" cutaways and editing them in at the right spots.

Betting odds will immediately spoil the winner as always but I'm going to be looking VERY closely at their talking heads for evidence they were shot post-show (just like IMO a lot of Matt's were for his season).

Game on, TPTB!

Carlin $2
Jamie $3.50
Kayde $5

@Enough NOOOOOO!  Well that pisses me off because now I'm assuming the FRC will be a sham since Carlin is an actor (which they conveniently don't mention that anywhere in his bio).  Haydn was my last hope of a genuine F1.    

All very interesting though and says to me someone else started off as an early favourite but she changed her mind for whatever reason and they called in the actor to finish off the season.  No way they'd still be together now IMO.

The other 2 are $6

Well that's pretty definitive.  

My mission for this season will now be to work out who Angie's actual first choice was and what happened, because there is no way I will believe that someone who got the first date, plus a tonne of paparazzo pics, ended up F1 without something going very, very wrong with TPTB's original plan.

sprout wrote:Great - she chooses the the actor. Yawn

Or more likely IMO she wanted to pick someone else but it didn't pan out so TPTB called upon the actor to step up a few spots (he would originally have been F3 IMO) and guarantee the audience a winner.

If she did legitimately pick him (which I doubt) and he didn't tell her he was an actor, then she went home and Googled his name and saw what comes up, I wouldn't be surprised if she dumped him on the spot.

sprout wrote:They have the overnight first date, right? Maybe she legitimately did choose him depending on how they connected from the start? I’m leaning more towards showmance though? JMO.

leavers wrote:I'm definitely leaning towards showmance because of a) the delay in premiere b) the cagey way she's talking about the outcome now.  The difference in messaging between her and Matt, who was "I'm in love" openly.  It reminds me too much of how Honey Badger was.

It could be that he was her F1 all the way through! And she really did pick him and only afterwards found out he's an actor and was just like NOPE.  But the delayed premiere - one that seemed to occur out of the blue, it wasn't always planned that way imo - has me SHOOK.

Bobette wrote:@leavers Yeah definitely not planned IMO.  IMO this season has been reworked (maybe the FRC even re-shot?) for some reason - there are just so many things not adding up.

No first date AU contestants have EVER been F1.  It's the kiss of death.  If he was intended to be F1 they would have given him a different date and hidden the pics IMO.

They may have shot themselves in the foot having such a highly publicised (pics all over the media) first date because then they couldn't then edit it to appear later.
