Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

I swear, the SM this season has been 100000% more interesting than the show.

I don't see anything bad in a friend defending a friend. Although, I don't know who this Jennifer is. Who is she?

I never thought Lesina was good casting on the show in the first place.

@atem  She's nobody - just a friend of Lesina's.

I agree, Lesina has turned out to be a disappointing Lead IMO. I don't dislike her as a person but it seems to me she hasn't been "open to the process" in the way a good Lead needs to be.

IMO she picked Aaron as F1 from the start, has stubbornly refused to give anyone else a chance, and ignored all red flags. It is not enjoyable watching a smart woman make a dumb choice, IMO.

TPTB should have just cast Lily, doubled the amount of men for her to choose from, and cut the number of episodes to 12, IMO. Richie and Lily are the show's only hope of a second season, IMO.

I don’t know how to add screenshots but SO MANY comments on Lesina’s post are telling.

Oh it worked, yay!

Good job, @kiwilaura80!    

Very telling comments indeed. Could you please add a source link to your post showing which post her comments came from?

It's pissing me off that Lesina continues to claim she "can't watch". Tempted to spam her IG with links to the Bach Archive (even though I'm damn sure she already knows about it) but she'd probably block me and then I wouldn't be able to call her out.

Great sleuthing everyone. I haven’t had time to watch this season yet but curious why Lesina has IMO gone rogue based on her IG comments. Is her contract with the show no longer binding? Did she for real not choose anyone? Anyone has a theory on what’s going on? Thanks.

How do I do that please? They’re under her most recent IG pic which I’m looking at on the app.

Also back in the beginning she was telling people to watch on Bach Archive.

There was a comment about that too. Will see if I can find it.

Not buying this for a second. She can say how she felt but she shouldn’t be implying the ending. In my opinion the relationship has broken down. Does TPTB tag her at all ever? I’m feeling like they could be blocked by her.

Yep just looked. All photos of Lesina have no tags. That would only happen if she blocked, not if she unfollowed. Or if she went one by one and removed the tags which I think is unlikely.

Lily is tagged in all stills. Even photos of the two of them, just Lily tagged.

It’s a big wow from me.

@mercieme The wheels seemed to fall off just after they filmed the reunion - Lesina (and others) removed reference to Bette on her IG immediately, and her comments have become increasingly spoilery and negative towards TPTB since then.  

My guess is that the original contracts would have included the requirement to attend the reunion, since it was the "last piece of the puzzle", so many contracts may have ended on that date (though there are presumably still expectations re: SM etc).

I'm like 60% she chose no one and 40% she chose Aaron then immediately dumped him.  She is clearly not in a relationship now IMO and seems to be frantically trying to paint TPTB as manipulative in an attempt to justify her decisions/actions.

I imagine once the season is over and her contractual obligations have fully expired, she's going to have quite a few things to say.  Lily on the other hand is fulfilling her role to perfection and will remain in TPTB's good graces moving forward IMO.

Re: the bold, HA HA well isn't that interesting.  "Can't watch because of distance" cover story totally blown then.
