Angie Kent - Carlin Sterritt - Bachelorette Australia - Season 5 - Discussion

IMO they have deliberately made that schedule impossibly tight so that people don't have a chance to ask too many Bette-related questions.  She won't be at any one location for more than 30 seconds before she has to move on to the next place. Ridiculous.

According to Angie's instagram she has book signings in Sydney  this afternoon.  Maybe she flew back to Sydney last night?  Either way her trip to QLD appears to be very short

She is a busy woman, yet despite this she still had time to spend with Carlin. I really doubt she would’ve bothered if it was a sham relationship

Of course she'd bother IMO - who'd buy a book about "love advice" from her if it got out she split with F1 immediately or if she admitted she stuffed up and regretted her choice?  

It's all for show IMO, and he's doing the exact same thing, tagging her in his Supersavers/Jack London ads even though she's not in the picture just to get extra traffic to his page.  

It's all about publicity and self promotion with these two IMO.

Can I just point out that people said exactly the same things about Laura and Matty J? And yes, they are a professional shilling couple, which to some extent was already the case pre batch. But they are a legitimate couple, engaged and with a baby now.
I see no tension here between either 'being genuine' or a real couple and self promotion. In this case I see both, and I have no problem with it. Most batch couples have done this to some extent or other. Both Carlin and Angie were doing the same things before batch as they are now. Its not disingenuous or inconsistent. JMO.

This story was filmed last night IMO. Angie has her new brows! Had them done back home for this weeks book promos.

Yes! I can’t see why you can’t still be a real couple just because there’s shilling, self promotion or whatever you want to call it involved! I don’t understand why these activities should cease now that they’re together? What does it matter anyway, if it makes them happy?

The bold is the key difference for me.  Matty and Laura were genuinely into each other and very compatible IMO.  I do not see the same with Angie and Carlin.  IMO they are only presenting as a couple for their respective promotional interests, which doesn't sit well with me.

IA. Busy people always manage to make the most of any time together. They look pretty happy to me.

Just to state some facts here, the picture that Carlin posted of him wearing the Jack London Official suit is from Channel 10 and was posted in New Idea (link below) when they leaked the final 2 guys for Angie’s season as Timm and Carlin. Also Kim the show stylist dressed Carlin in Jack London official suits quite a bit on the show. So he can shill all he wants, not my problem but the picture is an official one from the show and promoting a designer that the show stylist has promoted herself on her IG when she styled Carlin in their suits.

ETA - @guardianangel, Carlin’s IG handle is carlinsterritt

All that suggests to me is that Carlin has probably taken up a post-show shilling arrangement with Jack London. He also tagged Specsavers and they weren't even a show sponsor, so he's got a deal with them too IMO, which no doubt explains why he was wearing glasses in most post-show interviews and pap shots. Never miss a business opportunity eh Carlin?
