Bachelor In Paradise - Australia - Season 3 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Bobette wrote:@GuardianAngel, May we please have a thread set up for BiP AU season 3?  The rumours have already started...

 EXCLUSIVE: Current Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are ALREADY forming alliances for Bachelor in Paradise 

If there was one thing we have looked forward to for the past two years, it's Network Ten's Bachie-verse spin-off show, Bachelor in Paradise.

And even though it truly is a hot mess - with precisely zero couples staying together - it really does make for some solid entertainment.

And so when Now to Love heard from a very reliable source that contestants were already reaching out to one another for the hit show, you could say we were, well, pretty damn excited.

And by the way, it's not just ANY old contestants. We're talking CURRENT Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants - some we've never even met yet!

"Girls from Matt's [Agnew] season and boys from Angie's [Kent] season are sliding into each other's DM's," our source revealed. "They're forming alliances so that they can stay on the island longer."

And this is genius - because who wouldn't want to be on an island, in summer, surrounded by hot men and women, forming connections to last a lifetime - or at least three months post-show.

"The thing is," our source said, "some of these contestants haven't even been approached by TEN to be on the show. They're just covering all of their bases."It's unclear which of the current ladies will be (or have been) approached by TEN however, we could be looking at a slightly older group of Bachies, if Matt's girls are anything to go by.

Unlike many years gone by, some of the women vying for Matt's heart are slightly older, which could actually cater to some of Ali Oetjen's "older" men including Danny Harris-Wolf, Wesley Ford, Damien Rider and Dan Hobley.

And it seems that going on BIP is quite the natural course for our love-lorn hopefuls.

Todd King, Ali's runner up, revealed via his Instagram stories that he was "on the fence" about it.

When asked if he would do Bachelor in Paradise he revealed that he was "absolutely petrified" of getting his heart broken on national TV again.

"Although I received so much love and support. It was hard to have to watch it back [sic]."

And even though the thought scares him, he would love for his kids to able to see their parents "fall in love on TV".

"I don't know why but I think the idea of that (seeing their parents' first date and first kiss) is so cute. And I think it's definitely possible to find someone else in Bach world.

Former-Matt contender, Jessica Brody (a.k.a Tommy Little's "flame"), previously told us that that BIP would be a "great opportunity to find love".

"I struggled like crazy in the real world," she admitted."I think I'm definitely willing to give it another shot but it is a little bit scary going back into that situation, you know?

"It was definitely a bit intimidating but I'm always open to new opportunities."
So if Todd and Jess are "sort of" in...

Please excuse us while we compile a list of people we'd LOVE to see on the shores of Fiji!

LOL at Todd and Jessica being mentioned in the same paragraph - he'd be all over her IMO.

EXCLUSIVE The Bachelor 2019: Was The Bachelorette's Todd King meant to be this year's Bachelor?

The Bachie mansion was thrown into chaos last week when Nichole Wood threatened to leave after a heated row with rival Monique Morley. But NW hears it's not going to be an isolated incident.

Indeed, an insider claims a "mass exodus" is set to go down – and it's all because of Todd King. Come again?


Yep, apparently a bunch of the girls hoped Todd, runner-up on Ali Oetjen's season of The Bachelorette, would be this year's suitor. 

But they were sorely disappointed when they arrived at the mansion to find Matt Agnew standing before them – who, until he was cast as Bachie, was an unknown astrophysicist from Melbourne.

"The girls didn't want to string Matt along when they knew they didn't have feelings for him," alleges the source.

Todd exclusively reveals to NW that he's in contact with eight of this year's Bachie babes. He also confirms the buzz that some of the ladies weren't happy with Matt's casting.

"They expected me to 
be the Bachelor this year," he tells us. "They also signed up because they thought I was going to be on the show. They were extremely disappointed 
to be honest."

Todd says that if given the greenlight, he'd be the "friskiest" Bachelor the nation's ever seen!

"You've got to remember I'm only 27," he laughs.

So which Bachelorette does the blonde beefcake have his eye on?

"Purely based on looks and what we've seen of their personalities, I'd say Helena or Elly. They both seem really down-to-earth and really wholesome girls."

Hmmm... Given Elly's been pegged as an early favourite to nab Matt's final rose, could an even bigger plot twist be about to go down?!

No idea why they're plugging Elly so much - she isn't the favourite to win by any stretch of the imagination and nowhere near Todd's usual type from what I've seen.  This whole article is just weird and makes him sound like a dick IMO.

Helena I said when we found her linkedin etc that she was probably cast with Todd in mind (she's from Perth too) but I don't think he would have chosen her either - he seems to like the bad girls - more likely to have chosen Jessica IMO.

So he'd be in contact with Helena and Jessica IMO but I wonder who the other 6 girls are, and why is he bragging like this if he thinks he's a chance for next Lead?  People liked classy Todd IMO, not sure they'd like f&^%boy Todd.

The Bachelor: We already know which ladies are joining Bachelor in Paradise

It looks like it's going to be an explosive season with this year's villain joining to series

An on-set source recently dished to New Idea that the network has begun poaching contestants from Matt Agnew's explosive season, revealing many of the ladies vying for his heart are eager to star in another Australian reality series.

So far this season's villain Nichole Wood, Renee Barrett, Rachael Arahill, Jessica Brody, Emma Roche and Helena Sauzier have all been approached for the spin-off, which will commence filming later this year.

Last season’s favourites Paddy Collier, Bill Goldsmith— who was recently snapped partying with this year's Bachie star Jessica— and Brittney Weldon have also reportedly already signed on the dotted line for the next season.

IMO:
Yes to Nichole (if she drops the act) Helena, Emma and Brittney
No to Rachael (boring) Paddy (aggro) and Bill (just no)
Renee and Jessica I am neutral on since we hardly saw them.

At least this seems to be confirmation Season 3 is a GO!  

Bobette wrote:I have a soft spot for Nichole and I don't know why.    I could see her doing an Alisha, meeting someone she likes and letting down the mean girl walls (...although I hoped for a similar thing with Leah and she just tried to "school" us like a petulant brat.)
