Yep must be a cost-cutting measure IMO.  I've tried to find it on the real estate pages but nothing so far...

Not exactly a shocker. He doesn't really look into any of them. I'm sure he would go for a shag with whoever was keen, but love, marriage or even a long term relationship...nah.

It's definitely not the Bach Pad they used in previous years.  Interesting.  Might go back and revisit Nicole's date after I'm done watching this mess...

I have a look and it does looks like the kitchen in the Bach Pad.
So they must have filmed the lockdown episodes quickly and then Locky went back to Perth

I've also pondered on how easy it would be to film stuff for these episodes asynchronously. Not saying they did... but they could.

I wondered if Roxi might be at her mum's house and she might still live at home if she's a law student? Wouldn't be weird at all in 2020 for a 29 year old student to be at home, either having gone back there or never left. And that would explain why her mum was just there able to film during lockdown, too.

I do think they probably all went home as soon as production shut down - that first lockdown was a shock to everyone, I don't think they would have been under any delusions they could continue in any capacity at that stage.

But I agree the timeline becomes a little foggy after Locky resumed filming late May, and things may not be shown in order.  IMO the girls probably returned to NSW mid-to-late June for their dates leading up to the F5 RC.

This one of Irena's is at the new Bach Pad - fireplace matches the Woman's Day pic he sent to that woman he allegedly proposed to just before he started filming (a sentence which really sums up TPTB's choice of Lead )

I thought Roxi is a mechanical engineer

Yup, but she's studying law apparently, according to comments I was reading on twitter. She had her laptop resting on a gigantic law textbook!

Yes. Checked her linkedin page. Looks like she is sill working and studying at the same time

Just saw a new ad for them being back in the mansion. Seems they return and head straight to a cocktail party (ala night one).. and there's dRamA with Irena and Bella and apparently ending their friendship ‍�. Definitely would have thought producers woulda wanted them to remain besties and have that dilemma for F2..

Can you remember what they were wearing, @butterflylove?  I'm assuming Bec isn't in purple just yet?

Also not surprised about Bella & Irena ending their friendship since presumably they Googled each other over the break ad Irena would have seen that Bella isn't who she's pretending to be on the show, IMO.

The rumours about them having a pre-show agreement probably came out then too.  The group chat transcripts from April to June would be an interesting read - far more entertaining that the show I'd wager.

I presume it's the top 8? Someone (Maddy? Nicole?) will probably go home Wednesday, and then the rose ceremony on Thursday back at the mansion.

But Irena was in gold, Bella in red, Roxi in black, Izzy in white/cream.. Steph had an ITM.

Cool thanks.

Yes, they walk down the red carpet again like the first night. A version of it is on tenplay.
