I think Lily meant she could see Mike as a match for Lesina, not herself.

Lily's IG story from the end of Jan.  Definitely the same place and the same day IMO (identical weather).

Either way she's clearly not with Quinn IMO.

Bobette wrote:IMO Quinn got dumped and is pissed.  He hasn't posted anything of his dates with Lily on IG and in one of his stories last weekend some guy went up to him with a rose and he practically slapped their hand away.  

Copied from his thread:

Lily was clearly with Richie at the sunflower farm but I could see them just being mates and posting it to see who takes the bait ( ).  He's surprisingly witty on IG though - I could actually see it working, in the short term at least.



@Karina - nice spotting on the comment exchange.

But a week after she received the casting call, Lily was given a devastating reminder to grasp every opportunity.

"My grandma was diagnosed with bowel cancer and given about a week to live," shares Lily, who flew to Australia the next day.

"I was sitting on her hospital bed, explaining the show's concept of two girls and 25 guys, and having to date them," she recalls.
"She said the show sounded awful, but asked, 'Why are you stressing about this? Just give it a go, be genuine and honest. Be Lily and see where it gets you.'"

It was the tipping point.

"I looked at this gnarly, rough and raw Australian woman from a completely different generation – on her death bed – telling me to make the most of it," tells Lily, whose grandma sadly passed away a week later. "She was a great woman and there's a lot of her in me. She never got to watch the show but I think she'd be really happy I did it."

The brain doesn’t seem to record memories of events.

Rather, it seems to record deviations

from expectations

of events.

Depending on how drastically your expectations are violated, the color and texture of your memories will vary in intensity.

Bobette wrote:@blueblues Thanks for bringing that article over; makes me think me I was right about 2 things:
- She didn't really want to do the show; and
- There's still unresolved feelings from both herself and Courtney IMO.

Meanwhile thanks to @Karina who found this post on Mike's Twitter from the time of his divorce - seems he's a deep thinker.

He STILL hasn't made his IG public, which I doubt they'd let him do if he were F1.  I wonder if he regrets doing the show.
