Bachelorette Australia - Angie Kent - Season 5 - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Storybook wrote:Watching Carlin's date now and IMO the acting revelation is so unbelievably set up. Seriously the dramatic music and Angie hating liars theme in our face yet again. Angie's life is currently about furthering her TV career and book sales. And Carlin's brother is the worst actor ever, if Carlin is anything like him I don't hold out much hope of Carlin having a successful acting career. IMO of course.

Yes, I thought the brother was acting as well and IMO the conversation was producer driven.

@sprout the entire Carlin being an actor is being blown out of proportion IMO this to make Sportsbet rich on bets for everyone but Carlin to win.
Angie was dramatic at the rose ceremony calling out Carlin's name, but there was never any doubts in my mind Carlin would be called last - again for dramatic effect. I stand by my opinion that Carlin is genuine and he has genuine feelings for Angie. I hope they last outside of the Bach bubble as I think Carlin would help Angie to know what real love is.

I agree. It’s so predictable. I honestly thought Carlin was genuinely upset and Angie clearly likes him. He was right, he could’ve walked but didn’t. I think Angie is actually really insecure and it would be good for her to have someone that will be there for her no matter how many times she tries to sabotage things... but I think this will tie in with why she chooses him. JMO

@sprout @Storybook I think Carlin is well and truly in the bach love bubble. Angie, I'm not so sure about, she looks like a hard nut to crack. Who knows if they will make it or not.

Is it possible Timm goes home next? Classic fan favorite out at F3? Surely she can't possibly be upset like she is in the promo about sending Ryan home. JMO

Regardless of whether they make it or not I do think Carlin genuinely likes her.

@Agent99 Carlin is in the bach bubble for sure, but he has been through a marriage breakup and has given himself time to sort out his feelings. I honestly don't think he will be quick to jump into a commitment and IMO he is level headed about love. I could be totally wrong but he does seem like a man who takes things in. And from what I saw tonight Carlin really does like Angie (he told her this).
Interestingly on the official Bachelorette FB page people feel sorry for Carlin after Angie confronted him about his motive for being on the show.

That would be better for all of us, because then Timm could be hustling on into Paradise a couple of days earlier. But I can see her being broken up about sending Ryan home because they had history, and possibly when he came in she might have thought he was the F1, where I get more of a friend zone vibe from Angie towards Timm.

Yes from what I have seen of his friends and lifestyle, I believe Carlin is genuine too. I'm just not sure about Angie. I heard her on radio a while ago saying that she is a vault, so I think it is hard for her to be vulnerable.

Yes to the bold and also, sending Ryan home means she knows she's going to have to drag Timm through the Byron debacle.   Seems like it might have been "easier" to inflict that upon Ryan, since she could rationalise that he had lied about only coming on the show for her etc - but TPTB would have wanted F2 to be Timm, for the contrast, IMO.

Its a pretty strange situation. I have seen vulnerability from Angie but only with Carlin tbh. Surely they really only develop feelings for eachother outside of this situation. Although there have been couples where you saw more of a relationship develop on previous seasons, I think its just what Angie is like- analytical, a bit guarded.jmo.

All of the guys knew that Carlin acted- that's how Jamie knew Carlin had a TV and acting career to advance. Matt in his interviews yesterday said the acting stuff didn't make him question Carlin's genuineness because Carlin was honest with the guys about it and Matt spent enough time with him to believe he was genuine (although he thought Carlin was too perfect and they all called him Mr. Perfect). I think most people who go on this show are attractive people who don't need the show to find love. They all have reasons they go on the show and if they find love, great, but it's not the sole/primary reason. Angie is insecure and rightfully so given her limited experience with love and this is a tricky environment for her to open herself up for the first time to be vulnerable. Do I think Angie likes Carlin- yes, which is why she is so willing to believe he doesn't like her. Do I believe Carlin likes Angie- yes, likely unexpectedly so. Do I believe she picks Carlin in the end- yup because he evokes the most emotion (good or bad) out of her.
