Bachelor Australia - Season 9 - Jimmy Nicholson - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

we are not worthy @Dirty Street Pie. IMO you nailed it - most of the girls on that list are suspiciously private - I'll set up threads and delete if any are wrong.

TPTB appear to have taken over all contestant accounts and are making them private until they appear in an ad, at which point their accounts are made public and "managed".

Incredible day's work @Dirty Street Pie .  Think I recognise Stephanie Lynch from somewhere - probably following one of the show's mua/stylists.

Thanks guys, sometimes you just get lucky! 

Wowowow @DirtyStreetPie amazing stumbling / finding!! So 22 girls, sounds like our lineup.

Mm, if their accounts are being "managed" I'm guessing they're going the route of MAFS and the social media team will have control until the end to save from trolls etc.

No luck!  Only effort.  You take our praise, Missy.  

So I've set up threads for the most obvious contestants - if any are innocent bystanders and not on the show I'll delete them when the cast list comes out.

Below are the Sundry Others - e.g. businesses or accounts without real names so no point setting up threads yet, but still probably linked to contestants.

So Ashleigh is the cult survivor.  What a horrifying and sad story (link here).

Ahhhh... the last piece of the puzzle there then.  I've done a bit of research on cults.  Insidious operations who manage to ensnare all kinds of otherwise smart, rational people, by targeting them at particularly vulnerable points in their life.  It's easy to assume it's outcasts with no jobs/friends/families who join up, but that's rarely the case.

ETA: Quote from the article which pretty much sums it up:

"There's that old adage that nobody joins a cult," Ashleigh said. "You don't join a cult; you join a yoga school, you attend a self-development seminar, you go to a wellness retreat, you join a political movement wanting to better the world," she said. "The people that join, they have very positive and good intentions, and they're exploited."

Oh my goodness. What a horrible story. It's difficult for me to wrap my ahead around stories like this. I'm glad she was able to get out of that situation and sought the help she needed. This was the first clue and I always say go with your gut. I hope the show does her some good rather than take a step backwards.

Ashleigh said when she arrived at the camp, she was made to take vows on her own health and spiritual evolution that she wouldn't tell anyone what happens in the program. She said she was then told to strip naked, was photographed and interviewed about her devotion to Him — the school's guru.
