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

I’m torn between feeling sorry for Becky, as IMO she comes across incredibly uncomfortable and stilted on camera, and wanting to shake her and say “what the hell were you thinking?”
Elly on the other hand is as happy as a pig in sh!t when she’s on camera. How on earth do you think she convinced Becky to do it with her?
And agree that it’s probably donezo for both couples already, even if they don’t own up to it straight away. That chat that was left in with Becky and Pete talking about the logistics of him being from Adelaide and her from NSW was there for a reason IMO. Paving the way for the whole distance was too much, Pete couldn’t leave his business/family, and why would anyone from NSW ever dream of leaving to go to SA gear (That last comment said as an SA person who lived in NSW for a long time, and convinced her NSW person to move )

Just watched ep 6 and have little to say other than Elly's monologue about her knowing Frazer is into her even though he hasn't said it sums her up IMO - so self-involved she creates a fantasy scenario about his "inability to express himself" instead of realising he's simply not into her.  

Pete's also not into Becky at all IMO but is fully committed to the role and has cleverly pre-planned his exit strategy with that little speech about his need to stay in SA for his business and family commitments.  That will 100% be the excuse they use to explain a hasty split IMO.  

Oh and I agree with @Enough, the hair and wardrobe choices are doing Elly no favours and she looked particularly harsh and bitchy this episode IMO.  Rather than spend all that money on Botox maybe she should have taken a few classes on how to present yourself on screen.

"inability to express himself"

He's lost for words and can't believe what he's gotten himself into.

I went back and re-watched the scene so I could transcribe her full rant:

"I feel like I can feel that you're into me in different ways, but it's just sort of hard because it's like I have people sort of telling it to me, and then with you I'm like I can feel it, but I'm just not too sure because he's not the best at sort of articulating it."

Firstly, pretty insulting to label him inarticulate; and secondly, how do you know he doesn't articulate his feelings?  Maybe he has no trouble at all, when he's actually is attracted to someone.  Hot Tip Elly: if a guy acts like he's not into you he's probably NOT.

Next week is Hometown week. I presumed James got kicked out on Wed episode and Thurs episode will be Hometown week. With 7 hometown dates ( since we saw remainder 7 guys at the mansion) to air, do you think the hometown dates will be aired in 2 episodes? Then 3 get eliminated and the next episode will be the finale. I think TPTB would like to wrap them up as quickly as possible.

These are the descriptions for each episode:

Wednesday
A group date challenges Bachelors to help with domestic duties and be hands-on with raising and caring for kids. Later, a few home truths at the cocktail party leaves Elly in tears.

Thursday
Things are heating up in the mansion, as the Bachelorettes go on a single date with each of their chosen Bachelors before being introduced to their beaus' nearest and dearest during Hometowns.


So I'm guessing since we'll see 7 mini/single dates? we'll have half on Thurs and the remainder next Weds like you thought @Enough? And Weds will end with Adam, Sam and Shannon being eliminated?

Yep, single dates for however many are left on Thurs.  This season is so boring even IceTV has given up on their usually-hilarious episode descriptions.  It's sapped the life out of us all.

I giggled at their description for Weds too, @Bobette

@Bobette Regarding the photo from Epi 6, I didn't notice Elly's hair, makeup, jewelry or clothes. What I DID notice was her face - my sons call that RBF (Resting Beotch Face). There is no light or life in her eyes and the eyes are a window to the soul.

@Norcalgal I agree, even when she was talking to Frazer I saw no warmth.

Big contrast to the contrived image she tries to portray on Instagram IMO.

I think she knows he isn't into her and isn't going to fake it too hard to help her save face. I would be mortified if I was either of those girls.
