I've been catching up with everything the last couple days, and with the new DM article / these F4 photos, I know nothing about this woman, but can she be our next Bachelorette? As soon as I saw the photo with the alpacas, I was like "I want her" .

She also kind of looks like Blue Team #7?

Her real name hasn't been released yet @Sundy (which makes me ) but this is where the nickname came from:

She's also the girl in the bubble bath but the Llama pics came first so that name sticks till we find out her real one.

She's in the Top 4, probably F3 IMO unless she's 30-31 from Vic in which case she could be F1 (but that appears to be Irena).

TPTB are pushing Izzy pretty hard.  I'm still thinking F3.    

“I was dating someone for a couple of months, he ended things and I was really upset, quite devastated, but it also made me realise I was in a place where I want to find love...” Izzy's ready to give love a crack! #TheBachelorAU https://t.co/Kjz3TZ179S

Is it just me or does anyone else get major Elise vibes?

I'm getting like a Elise / Tara / Alisha (BIP 2) vibe with her. And I'm kinda not mad?

@butterflylove Yeah it wasn't an insult.    She seems like one of the "normal" ones.

I definitely didn't think it was, but I'd been trying to work out who she was a combo of, because had this feeling it wasn't just one person, and as soon as you said Elise, it clicked! I really liked Elise (she was my fave on her season), and I've loved Tara and Alisha - and Izzy just seems to have some of their qualities.

She seems really bubbly and extroverted, a complete contrast to Irena and Bella.   It wouldn't surprise me if she was f2 and all the Bella rumours was something cooked up by TPTB

@Agent99 I think Izzy & Irena look too similar though (in addition to both their names starting with I which will be confusing enough for some viewers ).

They need a contrasting final 2 so the audience can tell them apart (sounds dumb but I seriously think that's a huge motivation behind TPTB's choice of F2).  

IMO blonde Kaitlyn or dark haired Bella are a better contrast to Irena's mousey blonde-brown - maybe if Izzy had died hers red she'd have had a better chance.

Yep, I feel like they never want the F2 to be similar to the F1 - its good to have 'team F1' and 'team F2' among the audience and there has to be a reason to be cheering for your fave at the end where you REALLY don't want the other one to be chosen.

And then you either get the public's favourite as F1 and you get a season where everyone is cheering (like Matt and Chelsie) or a season where the favourite loses and you get the controversy clicks from it (Richie and Alex)

not sure how they're going to angle F1 vs F2 here if it is Irena and Bella, I guess we'll have to wait and see what the story is that they bring out of them
