I need 2, 3 days max, then I'm ready to get straight back to the trash.    

I did notice IACGMOOH 2020 is starting early (Jan 5) so hopefully they're bumping everything up a couple of weeks - although we're also getting a bonus season of Survivor so it might have more to do with fitting that in.  A five month turnaround is way too long IMO.

Meanwhile... LOOK WHO'S BACK!  What do you reckon... saving herself for Bette?  

Back so soon? Rumoured Bachelor In Paradise star Abbie Chatfield looks downcast as she returns from Fiji while the dating series continues filming



It appears Bachelor star Abbie Chatfield won't find love on Bachelor In Paradise.

Matt Agnew's runner-up, 24, jetted back to Brisbane on Friday less than two weeks after flying to Fiji with another rumoured 2020 BIP cast member.

Returning solo, the property analyst looked slightly downcast as she pushed three large pieces of luggage through Brisbane Airport.

Depending on when filming in Fiji began for the third season of Paradise, it's likely Abbie lasted less than 10 days on the dating franchise's spin-off series.

With three suitcases loaded onto a trolley, it appears Abbie was expecting a longer stay in Paradise.

I’m so looking forward  to see HOW she went out...She sure was traveling light... I’m relieved, who knows Timm saw her game and said ‘ Nah, thanks’ .  Now let’s hope she is not the Bachelorette. It would be usually a favorite isn’t it?

No way that Abbie would be cast as bachelorette imo.

Does anyone know if Sam Cochrane (Tara's ex) or Mack are returning? Also, are they considering internationals this year if so which ones because the only ones I can think of right now are John Paul Jones or Jordan Kimball?

@sprout ITA  not happening imo. I also think she was out earlier too since she was so active on IG this past week and I noticed DM never specified when she came back. No way she'd be the lead imo.

Princess Helena may be out - her first IG story for a while that actually looks live.

@AllAboutLove the article says she arrived back on Friday and they estimated she was there less than 10 days.

@Bobette TY I must have missed it when I read it. Did it say this Friday? (yesterday) I wonder if she was let go sooner (thus on her phone this past week) and then only flew back. She was so active on her IG I can't see that being just her sister or someone else. It was a lot


Did Helena go on for sure?

I have been thinking similarly and only know that Sam has been completely OFF Insta for about a year or maybe more... no news at all. Maybe he really got burned by the experience and is pursuing other creative projects.
I’m not sure about Mack, but I personally don’t care to see him again. He’s done it twice already and it was just confusing and weird.
JMO

in my opinion Mack is too old for the current crop of women, and moving forward they're making the age range 25-35, so he's out of that range. IIRC he was 37 last year? Mack's heart is in the right place but his inability to read social cues and communicate appropriately for flirting and first date situations just makes him an unpleasantly awkward-cringe watch.  JMO.  

I hope Sam stays away too, I liked him in a way, and thought what happened between him and Tara was really sad.  But it was also really serious and not good at all.  I hope they both stay far away from the franchise.

as for internationals, no signs of any yet? Maybe they won't have any this year. It's kinda silly in a way, unless an Aussie is willing to move to the US or vice versa it's never going to result in a proper couple. and most Australians don't watch the US show so they might as well be total randoms to the average viewer. Alex Bordy was an exception imo.

@leavers Totally agree re Mack missing cues - he comes on too strong too fast IMO.

I was watching johnpauljones for a while but he was posting constantly on IG, didn't seem to show any signs of jetting off anywhere so I stopped following.  That was a few days ago though so probably should check again.

@AllAboutLove Helena wasn't on the leaked cast list so potentially didn't go but I suspect she did since she had only been posting what looked like pre-prepared shilling or throwback pics and then suddenly live again today. 

And yes Abbie got back this Fri just gone (Nov 15th).

YASSSS! Paradise is looking up in my eyes now. I was expecting to have to put up with Abbie Alexnationing it all over the place being the hot ticket, but this looks like she went out early.

I’ve no doubt she went out in spectacular fashion hoping to get the Bette gig out of it, and I’ve also got no doubt that will never happen. She’s too polarising

I'm almost certain Helena is out (if indeed she was in).  She's been spewing shilling posts and live IG stories all afternoon.  Probably shipped out the same time as Abbie IMO.  

Jessica also seems to be out - she commented on Abbie's azz-flashing pic at the beach.  Renee and Ciarran are bound to be a major storyline if they're still both there 2 weeks in.  

They must have had a few shift changes by now to fill the empty spots with fresh meat.  Might go through the IG lists again and see if anyone's suddenly dropped off the radar.

Now that Angie's season has been put to bed I'm hoping we might get some long lens pics in the trash mags this Monday, in particular so we can see which boys are there.

ETA:  Emma confirmed in Ireland, not Fiji.

And it looks like Niranga may be out.

Matty and Scot both apparently still in QLD.

Has Timm always been following Helena?
