Bachelor Australia - Season 9 - Jimmy Nicholson - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Apparenly she blackmailed Timm. A lot of reality tv people that appeared in her podcast before are all turning against her and warning the current lot not to go on her podcast.

Wow….thanks for letting me know. Seems she tried to bite the fingers that were feeding her, unreal.

Good riddance IMO.  

I didn't like the way she tried to commercialise spoilers.  She started a patreon where she wanted people to pay a monthly donation ranging from $4.50 for literally no benefits ("to support the Instagram page") to $7.50 for "exclusive" pics & videos, most of which had already been posted here or elsewhere for free.  

And don't get me started about the amount of stuff she got from here and posted without credit.  She got some good intel in the beginning due to moving in the same circles as certain contestants but did no independent sleuthing and her correct info was so mixed up with inaccurate waffle that it left everything unreliable.

She just didn't have the right attitude IMO.  Reality TV is meant to be silly and escapist and the fun of sleuthing and spoilers comes from sharing them with as many people as possible to thwart the producers. Trying to make a "business" out of it is parasitic and she made too many enemies with her elitist approach.

Ok I just saw this and Jimmy’s response here is funny to me….did the producers edit his love story with his F1 like a Jane Austen classic? What part of what they have shown us is to be considered old-fashioned? I am confused

So, did you end up finding love?
I have and I’ve already dropped the L-bomb! All I wanted to get out of this experience was to meet someone really amazing and I couldn’t be happier.  It’s a genuine old-fashioned love story.

@mercieme Because every old-fashioned love story starts on a reality show with a man dating 20 or so women

He means old-fashioned like an arranged marriage I guess... As in the producers (his parents in this situation) preselected an eligible young eastern suburbs socialite of equal status to him and now they can pretend to like each other and attend parties and look nice together forever, and hope it eventually turns into love. So actually it's the same story in most Jane Austen novels

Is it because in Jane Austen novels the women just sit around waiting for a man from a rich family to choose them?

ETA:  Ah yes your arranged marriage interpretation makes more sense @Vjeff.  Explains why Holly acts like she can't stand the guy.  But her Father paid two goats and four barrels of ale so she'd better learn to love him and loosen those britches quicksmart dammit.

Got it Big fan of Jane's! So 'genuine' except for all the kissing & drinking then

Poor Jimmy not getting much love on FB

Yikes.  Honestly he seems like a decent guy to me, just a bit idealistic and blinkered by having been brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth.  Time for a bit of a reality check courtesy of the plebs now I guess.  

@Bobette

Here's another service station stalking article from DM

Hahah that is exactly it @bobette also I agree on Jimny, he seems pretty nice to me. I think these comments are really rough - no one was saying the same comments about fitting into the lifestyle when it was Locky who worked 6 months in Bali per year, or Matty J when every woman had to agree to his specific baby timeline. And he hardly brings everything back to flying, it is the producers that do that just like they did with Matt and science. How do they even know he lives a life of adventure? From everything he has said it seems like he just goes to the beach and socialises like every other person his age in the area.

@dolcimumma I thought the rumour was they were told not to call the paps this year

Ok guys it’s Brooke and Holly getting papped twice now of the top girls. Are these girls calling the paps? Holly got papped at night time walking her dog….were the paps just happened to be waiting for her? I get paps at airports and public arenas but folks getting papped doing normal chores is suspicious IMO.
