He wasn't lying when he said they are two third through filming! He just culled the girls!. And they then bring in an intruder. She may not be on zoom or using zoom to follow the trend where people found love with zoom. She may even be at the Mansion when they return for filming

I bet a bunch of the girls cull themselves tbh, even if the show doesn't make it look that way

Yeah my working hypothesis is that people like Steph didn't want to return to NSW and go through the whole quarantine palava again knowing they weren't F1, so they Zoomed in an intruder who was willing to play the game.

Nicole could be one of the F5 but she may have say no too.

@Enough Yes I agree, they would have wanted Nicole in the Top 4 for sure IMO since she got the novelty rose, she's likeable, and her dates were all fine with no dramas.  

She lives in NSW so wouldn't have had to travel, but I presume they would have had to quarantine again, so she probably chose to stay home with her family if she knew she wasn't F1 IMO.

I suspect the Top 4 they originally had in mind was Irena, Bella, Steph and Nicole who all featured night 1 (and who coincidentally happen to be at the top of Sportsbet's table right now).

Izzy I think earned her spot by playing along during lockdown (I mean not many people would agree to Zoom from their own bathtub ) and wasn't originally intended to be Top 4.

Kaitlyn I think would have been F5 (and still might be if they promised Bec Top 4 for agreeing to come in late - there won't be two intruders in the final 4 so one of them will go IMO).

Some of the zoom with the girls could be done in a rented apt if their homes are not suitable

Maybe... but remember this was peak hard lockdown when we weren't even allowed to have guests over, so I think family homes are more likely (supported by footage of family members in the zoom calls).

 they would have been able to google during the break and may not have liked what they saw.

Yes, excellent points.  

ETA: I just re-read that article from upthread.  WTH is with your headline DM... "mass boning"?

There's still 2 rose ceremonies until the lockdown, it's quite easy / actually how the show works for him to "axe FIVE women".. DM thinking they have groundbreaking news.

Can I just say, the sleuthing is way more fun than watching the show! The episodes are particularly meh this season. The only thing keeping me going was finding Purple Dress.

And now what?

Another Zoe-Clare meltdown?
The Roxi vs. Kaitlyn fight?
Areeba and Laura battle it out for the worst acting of the season?

And I doubt Elly's bachelorette series is going to be much better.
