Bachelor Australia - Season 8 - Locky Gilbert - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@Agent99 @Vjeff Did they show girls?  Can you match any faces to the paparazzo pics we have so far?  

That seems really early to be advertising - I wonder if they cut filming short to get the schedule back on track?

It was a Ch10 promo of upcoming shows, so I wasn't watching closely, but there was Locky beaming in his tux and maybe a couple of girls flashed by.  Could have been one in a red dress - aagh I need to see it again

Thanks @Agent99    I don't watch any live TV other than ABC News 24 so I'll be no help.  

ETA: Alright I'll take one for the team and watch Tenplay garbage till I catch and SC this damn ad.  Let me know if I miss anything interesting on the news.  

ETA2:  OH GOD IT'S SO AWFUL.   I'm losing IQ points by the minute here (though I can now name at least six pregnant US celebrities Due in June).

ETA3:  OK got it.    If this is the one - no girls, just a quick glimpse of Locky in his blue tux.

ETA4: I must have seen the short version because DM just loaded up a slightly longer clip.

Two girls: One in yellow, one in red.  Need to see if we can match to the BTS pics.









What's going on with the moustachioed men and the pyrotechnics?!

Potential matches for yellow dress/long black hair:













Potential match for red dress/brunette:

Not helpful I know, but WTF is that white lace tuxedo outfit?! I’m guessing we have the same stylist as the last couple of seasons with an outfit that trashy in the mix 

@Dirty Street Pie I agree; it's an atrocity. Looks like something one would wear while being married by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas. And the girl in silver sequins looks like she should be hanging off a pole. Classic trashy Bach styling.

Huh. This might actually be the most unspoiled season ever since we only know of 3 (?) possible contestants and even then we don’t know what rules they had to follow on social media when everyone had to isolate so it’s hard to say if/when anyone was “eliminated”. Should make for an interesting sleuthing season if nothing else.

@Bobette

Thanks @Bobette.  Knew I could rely on you to do the hard yards

Slightly O/T: Laura Ann from Matty's season has developed loose lips and in news that will shock few people around here:

- The Producers are manipulative and decide who goes home when;
- Leads don't get to choose who goes on dates until near the end; and
- Night 1 is filmed over three days/two nights (which we also already knew   )

While she acknowledged the program wasn't scripted, she claimed the women had to pretend they didn't know each other at the start of the season even when they did.

She also claimed producers knew how to ask questions cleverly to get the responses they wanted, which led to contestants saying things they didn't mean.

Laura-Ann's most extraordinary claim related to the rose ceremonies, where the suitor decides which women go home.

She alleged that Matty didn't have control over who stayed in the mansion, and this was actually decided by producers.

Matty wasn't able to choose for himself until the final stages of production, she claimed. He also allegedly didn't pick which women went on dates.  

'No, he doesn't choose who goes on the dates. Producers choose who goes home until when there is a only a few girls left,' Laura-Ann claimed.

@Bobette love it when they confirm what we know!

Well, that is not strictly true that Matty had no control over who stays. He picks his favourites and they stay. It's the rest MOT women who the producers decide based on their story line and how willing they are to play along and kiss producer a**.

I'm 100% sure this is true when a lead finds a woman (or a couple of women) that he is truly attracted to and interested in pursuing something with, or vice versa for B'ette.


But I'm thinking there might be some seasons where the lead feels nothing for any of them and the whole thing is produced...
