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

A thousand times no to Nicki Webster as Bette

She’s a lovely girl, my daughter used to go to her dance school in Sydney, but if TPTB have learnt anything at all from this year it should be that the Bette must be aspirational! She must be either smoking hot (Sophie) or conventionally attractive but with something charisma about her (Georgia).
IMO Nicki is neither of those things, the guys would be super unimpressed, and we would get a repeat of this years dumpster fire, with the added bonus of children being involved. It’s a no from me.

Preach @Dirty Street Pie.  

I don't think Nikki's seriously in the running but if TPTB were to cast yet another vanilla, caucasian, blonde, affluent quasi-celebrity then they are beyond redemption and the AU production deserves to be axed, IMO.  A lot will be riding on the 2021 season and they need to come up with someone exceptional, different and desirable, IMO.  Another fameseeking insta-ho just will not cut it.

Please no. She is 33? She looks a good 10 years older, plus kind of harsh. She seems to be attention seeking since she just finished another show. No!

100% agree with all of the above

Hard agree, I loved Nikki as a 7year old. Our class concert was to Strawberry Kisses, but I don't want to see her as the next Ette. She's blonde for one, and I don't want the same model of person as the last 8 leads. Give us the diversity we desperately need. Someone like a Brooke or Renee, or someone completely new that has charisma and presence (which Becky didn't have). We need to be casting and representing multicultural Australia.

@GuardianAngel - any chance we can get a season 7 thread? So we're having this discussion in the right place.

Good idea @butterflylove, if you get chance @GuardianAngel

This season can probably get archived now too?   I don't think there is much left to say - it was a complete waste of time IMO thanks to TPTB's poor choice of Leads, and the contestants are acting like complete desperados post-show with their cringeworthy Bondi/Byron attention-seeking shenanigans so don't require any more attention IMO.

Do much better in 2021 please and thank you TPTB!
