Matt Agnew - Bachelor Australia - Season 7 - Discussion

Totally agree - Chelsie's narration game isn't strong enough to be Lead IMO.  Leads need to be comfortable in front of the camera and speak clearly with humour and personality IMO, which I think is part of the appeal of celebrity Leads for TPTB.  Another Lead like Georgia would be perfect IMO - great TV presentation skills, funny and articulate but not famous enough to be up themselves.

Yeah, i think chelsie will be too weak as a lead for bachelorette and i dont think she’d be willing to get her heart broken again.
anyway, Chelsie liked some pics of Taylor Henderson’s in ig and i find myself shipping them~

I seriously doubt Chelsie would want to be bachelorette, even if approached. She appears to be very into her career imo and I can’t see her wanting to pause that again.

I agree she probably wouldn't make a good Ette and is very much into her career but I do think she believes in the process though because IMO I think she really fell in love with Matt. jmo

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my head around this breakup. It must be one of the quickest turnarounds in Bach AU history (yes even counting Blake because at least he stayed with his F3 for more than a year). Yesterday I rewatched all their media interviews/appearances after the finale aired (available on the chelsie/matt Instagram fan account) and they both looked and sounded so happy and in love.

I don't buy the idea that this was a 6-month relationship, effectively as they both said in the interviews, the relationship was only starting properly at that point. So between then and the breakup announcement was 8 weeks, of which Matt was overseas for at least 2 weeks. Their last Insta "couple" photo was at the Crown casino only 2 weeks before the announcement. The popular consensus here seems to be that Matt broke up with Chelsie, so I am just trying to imagine how he would have even broached the subject with her after such a short attempt at making it work in the real world. "Chelsie, we need to talk." "I thought I was in love with you but now I realise I'm not." I don't know, it just makes me so sad that it ended so quickly when they seemed so happy. But I guess "seemed" is the operative word and one of them at least must have been having doubts from the start. I'd be interested to hear any other views about how the breakup conversation would have gone between them.

@Valancy I went back and read some of the articles that came out just before the finale and many if not most were hinting not all was rosey behind the scenes. Lots of noise about them having already split, Chelsie being down, refusing to do interviews/media, wanting to distance herself from the franchise etc.

And IMO it was weird she attended all those "freedom parties" the other girls were having, when they no longer had to pretend to like Matt.  Yes she appeared happy when they did their post-finale interview rounds, but she literally did an IG story about how well she can fake a smile for the media/paparrazos so....

IMO it'd be easy to roll with it while they couldn't be seen together but when they "came out" it would be harder to maintain if one or both wanted out.  IMO it was probably Matt who cooled off quicker, but I suspect there were cracks from the beginning which were covered up for the sake of contracts/appearances.

I went through every possible scenario in my head as to why these two broke up so fast without giving it time to see if it can work in the real world. The only thing I can think of is that something happened while he was away visiting his new nephew, what that something is we may never know. Maybe distance made the heart go flat instead of making the heart grow fonder. Did she do or say something that was a deal breaker for him? was it the sex? Was she too involved with the girls (Abbie,Rachel) to his liking? When they were doing the media tour she was hanging onto his arms they kissed in hallways, Did a video telling us they were still very much together and happy. Overall they seemed very happy to start their life together in public. IF things weren't ok with them then, then they belong in Hollywood because they made a believer out of me so imo something happened while he was out of the country those two weeks. jmo

@Bobette and @Jolena, thank you for your opinions. I am inclined to agree with you @Jolena, I think something must have happened during that 6-8 weeks to turn Matt off. Did you see the live chat Chelsie and Helena did on Instagram while he was away? I wondered if he didn't like that somehow. Anyway, it's all speculation and I guess only they and those close to them will ever know what really happened.

Also, if they had already broken up before finale, I honestly don't think they would have done all that media. IMO their contract would allow them not to pretend to be together if they weren't, and it would be extremely difficult to do all those interviews etc if they were putting on an act. JMO

I agree. That's why I def think something happened while he was away that didn't sit well with him and he wanted out, and unless we eventually find out what that deal breaker was we can only speculate. Maybe after a substantial amount of time passes and they are both in relationships with other people someone might get wind of what really happened from a friend of a friend and it will get out , right now it's too hot a topic but once fans are onto the next new Bachelor couple and everyone forgets about them it's possible someone will leak. JMO

Matt looks like he's not ready to settle down but Chelsie too, sometimes she gives me the impression of a little girl. Perhaps it's just her demeanor, but she definitely behaves younger than her age. I would have pegged her at 23 or 24.

they’re both not ready to settle down but both agreed to take things slow and do normal couple things after the finale, unfortunately it didn’t work out. I still believe Chelsie wanted it to work out but Matt has been doing most of things alone and barely tried to put it into work (as per sm sleuthing)

Anyway, Chelsie seemed to be moving on and just posted a new pic looking good with a darker shade of lipstick heh— and Taylor Henderdon has been constantly liking most of her pics
