Bachelor In Paradise - Australia - Season 4 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Total feeding frenzy on IG today with E & B's boys being released.  Joe, Jake and Damien proving to be the most popular with the BiP wannabees from what I've seen.  

Also (weirdly) James, and Frazer... but they might need to wait till his F1 contract expires (or at least keep their thirst on the DL for a few weeks post-show).  

ETA:  Easy access stalking reference list for the boys:

So Thirst Queen Leilani and Mia (who?) were out and about in Bondi with a bunch of E & B's guys on Sunday.

I hope the obvious lack of f***s being given by these contestants isn't an indication Paradise has been canned...

Bella mentioned she is getting ready to go to Byron Bay. Is that for BIP

I doubt it - she's still under the delusion that she's going to be Bette 2021 IMO.

Didnt someone mentioned that you have to be in BIP to be eligible to be Bachelorette? Elly was a last resort as they can't get another suitable one for the Lead

That was Rachael, but god knows if that's actually true. I really don't think it would be? Would they really have someone, especially someone who's so divided and they divided the edit on, be Bette after two previously fame events?

If there was someone who had a crap / villain edit on their season, and then turned it all around on BIP (I'm thinking Alisha esque), then maybe they'd consider that person as a lead 3rd time around..

IMO it's not necessary but I think it helps by keeping that person fresh in our minds.
For Bella, we've got a whole season of Bette and then a whole season of Paradise and then a whole season of Bachelor 2021 before she could be Bachelorette.
That means if she isn't on BIP we're going to have about 100 people more fresh in our minds than her! It's all about staying relevant.

Also, Bella was not well liked by a lot of viewers, and has made herself look like a hypocrite IMO by immediately applying for a blue tick and signing with an Influencer agency despite claiming she wasn't on the show for followers.  

Unless TPTB are complete idiots, they'll go with someone well liked by the audience, either a popular returnee (though I can't think of anyone in recent memory) or someone new that people don't have much of an opinion about yet.

Bella has flat out said she wouldn't do Paradise in interviews, so if she does turn up it's obviously just for more exposure IMO - wouldn't want to risk "best friend" Bec shining in Paradise and getting more followers than her I'm sure.

Bella is not well liked by Bachelor viewers. At least Elly was popular with the viewers. I just can't see her being The Bachelorette. Also she is just not that gorgeous. JMO

I agree @Enough, if they cast Bella they might as well flush the 2021 season down the toilet and I'd think after the 2020 mess, they'd want to ensure they get a red hot POPULAR Lead IMO.

I think producers really need to look at who films BIP and Bach (I'm more thinking Bach) well, and just make that choice and then give them the right airing time/space during the season for people to connect with them. Instead of this year down the road for Elly. It's been too long. If she was Bachelorette instead of Angie last year it'd make more sense in my opinion.

That or they just need to pluck someone off the street and we get a fresh face who doesn't have a media presence - it feels like they're taking the mickey out of us since they named Sophie as Bachelorette, since then we've had "public figures" and it's wearing thin.

Are those recent pics? No masks or physical distancing? What’s going on?
