This is what she actually said at the time IMO:

Romantic Comedy?  Has she laughed once with Carlin?  Serious question.

Carlin

So of course the F1 gets the segment involving the sponsor car and as Angie drives up we hear the sounds of a guitar strumming (a subliminal link back to night 1).  The day part of their “date” appears to be nothing more than arguing in the car.  Weird.





The night portion is better but still super low budget (I guess they blew all their cash on Ryan’s boat).  She questions him again about the acting and he says he hasn’t done anything since 2016 - only "a couple of commercials for money".  Hmmm... you sure?

Angie is asking herself if he’s fooling her and maybe he’s that good of an actor.  He says “no, I’m pretty sh*t”.    OK I’ll pay that one – made me chuckle.  It’s clear IMO Angie had already decided to pick Carlin at this point and is trying to justify it to herself.

Next day and it’s Carlin’s turn.  Of course, he says and does all the right things to impress her parents.  His outfit is even colour coordinated with the rest of the Kent clan FFS.  It’s picture perfect and utterly nauseating, IMO, but her family laps it right up.



Her Dad says Carlin’s a good lookin’ rooster and could have his share of girls but "he’s looking to settle down."  Is he?  You know he’s still married, right?  That doesn’t sound too “settled” to me.  But Carlin says he’s feeling “comfortable”.  Must be nice.



Carlin says after his break up, the focus "was back on me” again.  Looking at his IG, I suspect his focus has always been solidly on “me” but anyway, the family all agree Carlin’s their pick, and think he’s there for the right reasons.  I wonder if they still feel that way.



So next day Angie’s waiting to meet Carlin, saying he “makes her feel safe”, and he’s “ready” for commitment.  IMO you can’t get much less safe or ready than still being married to another woman, but Angie “can’t wait to see his face” and that says it all, IMO.



They go for a paddle.  Angie says she can see herself moving in with Carlin and having kids.  She doesn’t mention marriage.  She gets the sense that Carlin “would do anything” for a partner.  Really?  Some pretty heavy presumptions going on there IMO.



They arrive at their destination wearing completely different clothes, but it hardly matters because they soon strip off for a swim and Angie starts gushing about his body.  It’s all completely shallow and I feel foolish that I ever expected more from Angie as a Lead.



Another outfit change later, they sit on a couch while Carlin slips into his Leading Man role and delivers all the required lines.  He ticks all the designated F1 boxes by telling her he’s falling in love with her, and wants a relationship with her outside the show, etc.



...snipped

So now Angie has to decide between Timm, who suits “old Angie” - addicted to laughter and spontaneity - or Carlin who has been “so vulnerable” and that’s what she needs, which is interesting since IMO Timm has been FAR more vulnerable than Carlin.



I find it both sad and disappointing that Angie thinks giving up laughter and spontaneity is somehow “progressing” in life, especially if she plans to have kids.  IMO, having and raising children is one time in life when you need flexibility and humour the MOST.

Regardless, the boys are on their way to meet their fate.  Carlin says Angie is marriage material, which is both ironic (since he is married) and IMO proves again how INCOMPATIBLE they are, since she has repeatedly said she DOES NOT WANT to get married.



...snipped

Anyway, Angie got off very lightly there IMO and here comes Carlin.  Angie says she’s “never allowed herself to be with someone like Carlin because I wasn’t ready” and I don’t even know that that’s meant to mean.  



She says Carlin - the actor, model and Instagram influencer - is “so genuine and real”.  Seriously, this is just all too ironic.  But he’s the one for her, apparently, and that’s where we leave them, snogging in the beautiful Byron wilderness.



Well, forget Queerbaiting, this was the season of Weirdbaiting, IMO.  Angie may have talked the weird talk at the start of the season but she was walking a very straight, very beige walk at the end, and chose the most stereotypical, clichéd contestant of the lot, IMO.  

But I’m glad Angie chose Carlin, because IMO she doesn’t appreciate Timm, and he deserves better.  I’m sure she and Carlin will make the most of their time shilling and acting like a perfect couple, but I suspect that behind the scenes things are anything but perfect.

Are you sure you weren't looking for fame? The Bachelorette winner Carlin Sterritt stars in a new Harvey Norman campaign - as he lists the dating show as an 'acting role' on IMDB



He was exposed as a secret actor and accused of looking for fame on The Bachelorette.

And just one day after winning the show, and Angie Kent's heart, Carlin Sterritt seems to be kick-starting his career by starring in a new ad campaign.

The 30-year-old fitness trainer, who has also listed the dating show as a 'acting role' on IMDB, has featured in Harvey Norman's latest Christmas catalogue.

In one photo, Carlin is smiling and holding a glass of champagne while wearing a fitness tracker.

In another, the fitness trainer is promoting a camera by holding it and laughing while taking a picture.

Carlin has also listed the dating show as a role on his IMDB profile which introduces him as 'an Australian actor auditioning for leading roles around the world.'

This comes after Angie Kent became concerned that Carlin, who was exposed as an actor by contestant Jamie Doran, was on the show for the wrong reasons.

During hometown visits, Angie confronted Carlin's brother, Jarvie, who told her that the 30-year-old did see the show as a career opportunity.

It was a devastating blow for Angie, because Carlin, who is billed as a 'fitness trainer' on the show, hadn't told her about his acting career.

Despite doubting his intentions, Angie confessed her feelings for Carlin on Thursday and he was crowned the winner of The Bachelorette.
