Bachelor Australia - Matt Agnew - Season 7 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

I noticed Matt's floating hand in this shot and thought if he was so into her, he would be hanging on tight imo.

@Agent99 I also noticed the limp wrist.    By this stage of filming I think he was definitely gravitating towards Chelsea, worrying about stringing Abbie along, and not really knowing how to handle it.  

However I'm also with @leavers in that I think he was genuinely attracted to her, especially in the beginning, and would have FOR SURE taken her home if she'd approached him IRL outside the show.

I think any man (and quite a few women   ) would find her hard to resist.  IMO that's why we have such an odd/unique dynamic with Matt and Abbie - IRL she would be the one calling the shots, IMO.

ETA:  Also I didn't know this emoji existed thank you for bringing it to my attention.  

I noticed the hand with Abbey and also the crossed legs, even after the rose, he stayed with his body not really facing her. In stark contrast to Chelsie, where like someone said up thread, at one stage he just about mounts her !

Chelsie's ITM reminds me of Laura after her second date with Matty. Open. Flushed with oxytocin.

Matt is back in Victoria and in the Yarra Valley. This weekend in going to be beautiful, I presume he's with the fam for a Father's Day weekend, but part of me also quietly hopes he and Chels have escaped up to wine country.

Honestly, I could see it

And I'm not really implying they'd be a love match or in a serious relationship but their sexual chemistry was something else.  I could see them having a passionate fling if he and Chelsie did break up.

Something I found on the Instagram handle. Hoping it’s a mistake!
And reaaaaly hoping he’s still with Chelsea. The break up rounds have been there for a while.

@butterflylove, You saying he's back reminds me I forgot to post about the fact that the day after he posted that pic of the sunset in Broome, Matt posted a sunrise pic in Karratha.

No way on any planet in any universe is it possible to get from Broome to Karratha overnight IMO - that's almost as far as Adelaide to Sydney and the roads are a lot less friendly!

IMO he never left Vic and was just posting throwback pics as a misdirection to get people looking at Helena as F1, IMO. Seems to have fooled DM, or they are playing along

Don't worry @Missnair, one of those guys is Chelsie's brother in law, so it's a joke.

Found a really interesting recap, which I agree with:

And finally, finally, I think I’ve worked out what’s happening. Chelsie is getting the Snezana edit. She’s on the periphery of the drama, narratively coded as too mature for it. She hasn’t had as much screen time as Snez, but all the beats are still there. And in Abbie and Elly, we’ve got Lana and Heather respectively. Lana was very much the Sexy One, and Heather was the Nice One: she got eliminated because Sam saw her more as a friend. Snez, on the other hand, combined both niceness and sexiness, and ultimately won the prize. (If you want more on this, my chapter in Small Screens is a detailed analysis of Lana and Heather in Sam Wood’s season. And if this plays out the same way – ie if Chelsie really is the Snez – I’m going to be so ******** smug, you guys. I’ll be insufferable.) wrote:

Just an observation I had to of their date, Matt right away when she said she couldn’t do the repelling anymore he said okay and they went down together.

Legitimately the most romantic thing I have seen this whole season happens: about halfway down, they decide they suck at rappelling, give up, and let themselves fall gently to the ground. Seriously, is there anything more romantic than looking someone in the eyes and saying ‘ugh, **** this’ at the same time, and giving up together so you can go and eat cheese? I posit that there is not. wrote:

Cheeky buggers. Just more confirmation(as if we need it) that Chelsie is F1

@Zaynab that recap hits a few good notes re: Chelsea but I see two glaring errors with her analysis:

1. Heather was not the "nice" one.  She was the sarcastic funny witty one (and hence my favourite); and

2.  THEY NEVER EAT THE CHEESE.

@Agent99 I wonder if the brother in law is getting kickbacks from Sportsbet.  

I just can’t take the Abbie storyline seriously ; can’t shake the impression that she is in a bubble in love with the cameras. Because of that impression, IMO she is the perfect F2 because other more authentic gals are saved from having hurt feelings at the end. Instead, take the girl to F2 that is motivated by winning a game.
She’s very attractive, great on camera, has some fun banter, and plays the temptress well.

I agree with your post, but especially the bold

Yes, in terms of the "nice" one to me I think it ultimately means someone who ends up being friendzoned, and in terms of to the viewers a favorite.
