Bachelorette Australia - Season 6 - Elly and Becky Miles - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

And then there were 8.. goodbye, Damien.


Stats for tonight and this week. Adam still pulled strong tonight, doubling the amount of followers anyone else got, and I think we heard him speak 1 sentence..

Nope, all we saw of him tonight was a couple ITM's from the group date from memory.
Cocktail party focused on James spiralling and being up in arms over Joey.

Just saw promo on TV saying Hometown Week.

TPTB are really just phoning it in this season.  They haven't even bothered to disguise the guys that are being booted ie Pascal and James.  I find absolutely none of the "connections" believable.  The show is boring, the ratings are abysmal and if they don't redeem it next year, it will go the way of other shows with dated formats and declining viewers.  Dropped.  JMO

I completely agree with you @Agent99
I’m so bored with this season I’ve barely even been able watching it, just had it on in the background. Having 2 leads is a stupid idea IMO, production can barely manage decent storylines for an F1/F2 in a regular season, let alone doubling it.

@Agent99 @Dirty Street Pie Same here

It's just so awkward to watch.  I feel embarrassed for Becky who IMO must know none of the guys are into her.  I feel bad for Joe who IMO is the only person there with any genuine interest, and is getting strung along only to be dumped at the FRC.  Elly knew from the start she wasn't picking him IMO.

Elly has a lot answer for IMO.  She pursued this role relentlessly (IMO she was campaigning for herself as Bette it since Matt's season) and was obviously willing to do whatever it took to get it, even dragging her sister into it, knowing full well IMO that Becky would be completely out of her depth.  

TPTB should never have pandered to her egocentric delusions IMO.  Locky's season was bad, but this season has dropped the franchise to a whole new depth.  And it didn't have to be.  They had a good cast of guys.  Even with COVID and no Osher, with a desirable Lead it could have been decent.

Just such a disappointment.  The only real sleuthing we had was finding the guys, the rest has been laid out on a platter with absolutely no attempt to disguise the "winners".  And we can't even pair anyone up for Paradise since who knows when or if that will be back on the menu.  Not happy!

Gotta agree with you all, and I think it's a mixed of people being unexcited for the leads, them not being strong leads, and a lot of viewer fatigue. We've had straight Bach since July 15th. BIP was a lot of fun, Locky was despite everything a pretty good lead, but Elly and Becky.. it's fallen flat, the format hasn't worked, Osher was stuck in Melbourne..

What they should have done, because they'd have had an inkling that BIP wouldn't go ahead this year - was postpone Bachelorette filming until now, and then air the season in the new year in the BIP April slot. Made it a decent/worthwhile season.

Just went back and revised the screencaps from the trailer to see what we have left.. Adrian gets the date on Thursday from the pap photos, so maybe his screencap will be from then, or it'll be an F2 date.. Frazer has no more shots left, and if I'm to hazard a guess, we'll see Joe's single date on Wednesday.

Wednesday's episode




Elly & Joe date





Pete



Adrian

@butterflylove Have you got the screencap where Adam maybe gets dumped from the trailer thingy?

This is the only unseen screenshot of Adam from the trailer, and he's in the same suit as he was in the promo for Wednesday's episode. Not sure why he's upset, or it's just a fake out and he's just rubbing his eye..?




Went back through the preview just to make sure, and did we ever determine who this was? I know there was speculation it was Harry, but there was no tears when he left.. so could this be Adam?




Also completely forgot that Elly's meant to go skydiving at some stage. Perhaps an F2 date? Kinda leaning towards it being Frazer, just to go with his cable car mid air swing date.

So if that's Adam in the grey suit, then I'm assuming he doesn't go home in the white suit.

James is going next episode from all the pics.

Adam gets a "hometown" date, he takes Elly surfing. There's some pap photos of it somewhere that popped up earlier in the week.
