IMO the complete opposite is true.  They are still hiding Glenn and Alisha in the edit to some extent to retain some mystery.  

Prime example was the conversation between Alisha and the girls before Keira came in.  They showed her sitting near Niranga in the long shots but in some of the tight shots she is clearly entwined in Glenn's legs - they just don't show his face.

IMO casual viewers and commenters on IG and FB tend not to be very observant at all, and are easily sucked in by scripted storylines and editing tricks - exactly what TPTB relies upon, IMO.  I also disagree about Glenn's smile but that's JMO.

@Genevieve Australia I saw in a previous comment that Greg wasn't smiling in the eyes, his whole face lit up when he gave Lish her rose.

Also, I know everyone’s feeling sympathy for Britney but I just need her to wake the heck up. Even if Jamie’s being wishy washy, his wishy washy-ness is confirmation that he doesn’t really like you girl. Please stop the madness.

All jmo.

I also agree, and mentioned that too, that SO FAR, Alisha and Glenn have a strong chemistry, lust / physical attraction, but it’s way too early to know what else is compatible in their lives and characters and therefore predict the potential success of their relationship.

This x1000. Re: bolded: I thought Sam and Tara were going to be true love, and look what happened there... and then Matt and Chelsie seemed ~so suited~ (though I didn't ship them as seriously as others because I was an Abbie fan during the season itself) ... I no longer make any predictions about the success of couples

Yes @leavers, and you know what? I like to go online, to Instagram and Facebook and to read comments, I never write I just read them. Some viewers said that they liked Glenn and they liked his smile but that somehow his smile did not show in his eyes (meaning that only his lips smiled).  I found that interesting, so today I paid special attention and IMO, what this people noticed  is true. In previous years when a couple were really into each other we usually saw them in the background sitting next to each other or at least doing activities with each other, not just in group. Even on the first day, for instance, we say Helena and Glenn talking together and doing activities together, not just in group. The cameramen always made sure we see these types of interactions Today, I saw Glenn and Alisha on the background but not really close at all. I am not saying that they must be close all the time, but it was not just one shot but multiple shots and then came the rose ceremony. I expected to see a very bright 'falling in love' Glenn, yet, this time, IMO he showed less emotion when he offered his rose to Alisha, his lips smile but his eyes do not, so the users who posted those comments  on Facebook were very observant, I am glad I read those comments, otherwise I would have thought it was just my imagination @astrobach when you watch this episode, take a look at that . Clearly this is just IMO

Perhaps I am being cynical but could this be a producers's ruse? IMO the producers want to see successful couples this year and they may have 'pushed' Glenn and Alisha. It may have coincided that, due to work Alisha, had to move to WA so it was good to couple her with someone living in that part of the country. Alisha  is not a high executive and her living standards do not suggest a high paid job, she seems to live modestly and when she goes on holidays she stays with backpackers not at nice hotels (I may be biased because I love staying at nice hotels, I have never been in backpackers except in Dhankhar, India, but it was a Tibetan monastery not really a backpacker place and that was the only choice in that tiny village). Accordingly, Alish is not someone  who can decide where and when to move for work, she doesn't have that power, especially not during COVID-19, so IMO, she was going to move to WA even if she did not meet Glenn.

Overall, this is a very trashy season. I really don't care for any of the remaining contestants but I know I will keep watching just in case. Connor seems to be a nice guy, I don't like Mary but I would like to see how they go

Well, IMO Glenn's face did not lighten up during last night's rose ceremony and I just saw a preview and in that preview Cassandra, Mary and Alisha are talking and Alisha is saying that she wants to make up with him, and the other girl telling her that they think that she has to make the first move, and she says with her really strange way to talk ' I am a bit neeeeervous, he is like....very proper' she talks about Glenn as if she didn't really enough of him saying: 'Do you reckon he's got some spiciness to him?' -    At this point she should now they have spent more than two days there. It wasn't 'love at first sight' at all.

Anyway, if many of you like Alisha, nothing I would say will impact your view of her, and I don't intend to convince you otherwise. I am not here to have arguments with other posters, I am merely expressing my opinion.  If this show has shown me something is that the villains tend to stay close to their villain personalities but BIP producers try to present a cleaner image of them if they end up as one of the 'successful couples'. They have done that in the past.

Thus far, the only couples that I saw making it long term are still together: Tim and Anna, Sam and Snezana, Matty and Laura, Georgia and Lee. They were also the ones that I liked and wanted to see together, so I guess I am lucky picking my couples       These couples IMO had more than just attraction they had many similarities and it seemed that it was a balanced relationship in which they mentally stimulate each other. @astrobach how many seasons of the Australian franchise have you watched?

Genevieve Australia wrote:That is okay, @bobette we can disagree, I am fine with that    Just a question, in your opinion will Alisha and Glenn end up being another successful couple and last for years? My point, as you know is not that Glenn and Alisha are not in love now (clearly, they have been together for longer than 6 months and we don't have evidence of any contract so they are probably in love or care for each other enough to be in a relationship), but my question to you is: in your opinion, will Alisha and Glenn get engaged and eventually marry? This has been my point: I don't think so. I think the spark will fade, I cannot see them together long-term.

I will just say @Genevieve Australia that that clip is just before Glenn and Alisha's first date.  I really don't think they knew much about each other except they had a nice conversation and made an impression on each other.

Absolutely no idea.  

And TBH I don't care - for me the romantic side of this show comes a very distant second to the sleuthing.  

With Glenn & Alisha I see enough evidence to convince me they're genuinely into each other and still together post-show, so they're already doing better than some of the "couples" to have come out of this franchise, IMO.

I saw it again, and they have old clips and new clips, that is announced as something we will see tonight, because she is saying that it is not really a date. Let's wait and see It is fine if I am wrong, it wouldn't be the fist time

I can't wait for the show to be over to see them together.
