The Bachelor Australia 2015

I wouldn't applaud those facial expressions, to me they weren't a good look - I'd run a mile from a girl pulling faces like that!
I meant that being so openly expressive would be applauded ... rather than having just a plain old resting bitch face and not letting anything show ...
 
I have to hand it to the producers if they are deliberately mood altering with sugar feasts and famines at strategic times.
 
Snez looks better with the extra weight IMO (although I can barely notice). She shouldn't stress.
 
when I last read about Zoee she was in Hungary working as a presenter for some sort of game show/adfomercial thing? ...

Mending broken hearts? Jilted Bachelor stars Joni B Hodson and Zoe O'Brien strike up unlikely friendship... as they launch new 'wellness' business

They have two things in common – being on The Bachelor Australia and getting jilted by the leading men.

So Bachelor contestants Joni B Hodson, from this year's season with Sam Wood, and Zoe O'Brien from last season with Blake Garvey, have joined forces to start a business promoting wellness.

The reality stars took to social media over the weekend from Bali to share pictures of them hanging out at a retreat.

Life's a Bach! The reality stars took to social media over the weekend from Bali to share pictures of them hanging out at a retreat

'So blessed to live the life we do,' Joni wrote under a snap of them.

'Friendship and business combined! Sharing the wellness dream!


'We have a surprise announcement for everyone. Watch this space,' she added.

While Blake's former love interest, Zoe, added: 'Following our passion for living a less ordinary life and inspiring others to do the same'.

Two weeks ago, Joni found herself at the bottom of the pile with vet Laura when Sam didn't give her a rose.

Putting a price on it: The tickets for the half-day workshop were priced at a hefty $197.00

But instead of dwelling upon any heartache, she also decided to use her experience on the reality show to empower other young women in search of love.

The 31-year-old says she has penned a soon-to-be released book titled License To Date, and even hosted a workshop with the same name in May, believed to be after her filming on The Bachelor wrapped up.

'Ladies, I am really excited to bring this workshop to you all. I have joined forces with the fabulous Stacey Taras to bring my first Book 'License to Date' to life in an amazing and practical workshop,' Joni wrote to her social media followers in May, her collaboration being with personal stylist Stacey.

Not so lucky: Her journey on the show came to an end after Sam realised they didn't have much in common. Joni and vet Laura were sent packing on the same night

Joni has also been keen to capitalise on her experience and knowledge garnered while filming the reality show, as the tickets for the half-day workshop were priced at a hefty $197.00.

Since Zoe couldn't woo Blake Garvey, she fell for another reality TV star, The Voice's Sam Ludeman.

However, the pair split in March but said that had nothing but love for each other.

So apparently heather is the paid actress and one of the girls walks away from being top 2 because they are unhappy to be with the other girl... Alright I'm up to speed I think.

Snez is hot!
 
If Heather was any real sort of actress she would be in Hollywood auditioning for manic pixie dream girl roles.
 
What would Sam Woods say! The Bachelor sweetheart Heather Maltman teams summery skirt with raunchy knee high socks
With only nine contestants left, The Bachelor Australia becoming increasingly competitive.

And on Sunday Heather Maltman decided to literally pull her socks up, rocking knee-high numbers during a day out.

Spotted out and about in Sydney's Surry Hills, she was seen in high spirits as she chatted away on the phone.

Woman on a mission: Bachelor starlet Heather Maltman was seen out and about in Sydney on Saturday

Heather, who's caught some of the most attention from Sam, wore a light blue denim jacket over her summery garb.

Her dress fell down to her thighs, but there wasn't too much skin exposed thanks to her over-the-knee length grey socks.

She further accessorised with a beaded aqua-blue necklace and a matching bracelet while keeping her brunette locks in a long ponytail.

The filmmaker completed her look with a stylish pair of brown boots and a pair of sunglasses.

Heather was a big winner on Wednesday's episode of the reality dating show, spending some quality time with Sam.

She admitted to missing him after their date the week prior, adding 'at the end of the day I like you and I'm really here.'

'You're going to have to get rid of me to get rid of me.'

'I know, it's going to be tougher than I think, I may not even be able to do it…,' Sam flirted before giving her a kiss on the lips.

The following night Jacinda Gugliemino was eliminated, with the 35-year-old Bachelor deciding he saw her as more a friend than a mate.

Appearing on The Project on Friday, Jacinda was asked who she predicted would be the winner, answering

'Heather or Snez. They are two polar opposites, all I can say is he will be there, when he gets there and he decides what he needs,' she added mysteriously.

Both Heather and Snezana Markoski have been front runners on the show securing early kisses with The Bachelor.

Is she safe? The Bachelor Australia will continue on Wednesday at 7:30PM
 
You would say that though, cause you'd be one of the many who'd be tricked:biggrin:

I feel like her facial expressions are over exaggerated (or she's nuts) and then the other night the 'I may or may not miss you' *looks away avoids eye contact* was extremely put on.

But they do seem to be pumping out the stories lately.

Why do you think I'd be tricked? I don't believe anything I read in those things and only half of what I see. We can all only go on what we've been shown so far, not everyone has to like the same people.

Just like others only like people because they think they're hot. It's all just different tastes.

I don't really feel like her facial expressions are that over the top. Everyone can be caught in a moment. I think we're a bit desensitised these days to animated faces, everyone is so guarded and frozen expressions.[DOUBLEPOST=1439783644][/DOUBLEPOST]ps that's an ugly outfit Heather.


hahaha @reepbot manic pixie lol
 
must REALLY be a slow "news" day ...

Has Sandra had a boob job? Axed Bachelor star sparks speculations she may have gone under the knife... but it wasn't enough to impress Sam Wood


Her bubbly, more is more attitude in the mansion ensured she wouldn't go unnoticed.

But it hasn't just been Sandra's larger than life personality that has people talking of late.

The primary school teacher, who was shown the door in a dramatic departure last week, has sparked speculation she may have gone under the knife after an old image surfaced where she appears to have a smaller chest.

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!!!
*SIGH

Has she or hasn't she? The Bachelor's Sandra has sparked speculation she's gone under the knife after this image of her emerged, in which she appears to have a smaller chest

Hourglass figure: The snap, which is two and half years old, contrasts more recent ones of the brunette where she shows off her curves


Sandra, who was known for ruffling feathers among the bachelorettes, is pictured looking much less busty in the image taken two and a half years ago.

Posing with a female friend at Soundwave festival in Melbourne, she wears a simple scoop-neck tank with a lace overlay.

While her assets are well under wraps in the snap, the 27-year-old appears to flaunt visibly fuller curves in more recent images including one where she poses in a black bikini.

2B6BD87500000578-0-image-a-17_1439767460034.jpg


Dramtaic departure: The 27-year-old, seen here with friends, was booted from the show last week
googled dramtaic ... out of luck ... *sigh


Although Sandra was booted from the reality series on Wednesday night's episode, she certainly hasn't been forgotten.

The brunette beauty was often the centre of attention while in the mansion, largely thanks to her loud ways and self-confessed love of gossip.

But speaking to KIISFM last week, Sandra said she may have been misunderstood, saying: 'I am shy when it comes to guys.'

'I think if anyone has the guts to take me on in terms of giving me a crack, they will have to have a huge personality,' she said.

2B6BD88E00000578-0-image-a-18_1439767468538.jpg

Big personality: It wasn't before she ruffled her fair share of feathers within the mansion however

Sandra later told morning talk show Studio 10 she thought the Bachelor and herself lacked chemistry but still found him very attractive.

'He turns me on alright,' she said when asked the ultimatum question by the show's hosts.

But despite finding the 35-year-old handsome and irresistible, the reality TV star said she never got the chance to go for an intimate kiss because she was 'too busy competing' against the other hopeful beauties.

'I don't think there was enough chemistry to have that moment...it just never happened,' she said.

and oh just in case we haven't already seen this photo - here it is yet again

sorry for the sarcasm but SERIOUSLY!?!?!!?!?
 
Not loving those socks at all lol.

Gotta love the DM articles where they say nothing but spend 3/4 of it describing what someone is wearing haha.
AND how many shots DO we really need to see of the same person, on the same walk in the same clothes? we get it already - she's wearing a short flirty dress with over the knee socks and leather boots ... thank god she's cluey enough to wear a slip underneath otherwise we'd be seeing what she had for breakfast over and over and over again!

A small part of me is curious about going to that workshop, in the same way I'd find going to a Benny Hinn Ministries congregation interesting.

Nah not top 2, like final 2 left at the rose ceremony, big difference!

Omg I wish I never watched any episodes with Sandra because she's actually quite cute, but the minute that mouth was opened...
 
The Bachelor's Sarah Mackay denies she was in a relationship while wooing Sam Wood after claims emerge she was still seeing long-time boyfriend during show
She emerged as an early front runner, securing both the first red rose and first single date from The Bachelor Sam.

But while viewers watched on wondering whether blonde beauty Sarah Mackay could be 'the one', it seems some of her friends were taken very much by surprise by her appearance on the dating show.

According to a report in this week's Woman's Day magazine, many believed the events manager was still in a relationship with her boyfriend of two years, Jake May.

2B6B97F400000578-0-Friends_of_Sarah_Mackay_have_a_boyfriend_when-a-6_1439763366117.jpg

Taken? Some of Sarah Mackay's friends were surprised by her appearance on The Bachelor as last they heard she was still with her boyfriend of two years

When one of Sarah's sisters shared a still from her time on the reality show on Facebook, it was met with a string of scathing comments.

'I'm so confused, thought your sis had a long time boyfriend...' one friend wrote, while another said: 'Are cheating :;)'.

Sarah however, maintains that this is not the case and that she and Defence Force employee Jake had gone their separate ways.

She told the magazine: 'I was with Jake for two years, and he was really amazing, we just had different goals and dreams.'

Couldn't move with him: She says the couple split because of his travel for work


The bachelorette, whose flaxen locks have seen her compared to the series' original success story Anna Heinrich, doesn't appear on Jake's social media.

Friends of his were asking back in May whether he had a new girlfriend yet, two months after The Bachelor started filming in March this year.

One of just two blondes in the mansion, Sarah is still considered one of the favourites although she's faced fierce competition from brunettes Heather, Snezana and Emily.

2B6B97ED00000578-0-image-a-7_1439763527716.jpg

Favourite? Sarah emerged as an early front runner on the show, securing both the first rose and first single date

One on one time: She enjoyed an intimate yacht date with Sam during the first week

She made a lasting impression on personal trainer Sam when he first laid eyes on her and continued to pique his interest during the ensuing cocktail party, so much so that she secured the very first red rose.

Being in the enviable position of already having been singled out by Sam and being safe from elimination entering the first rose ceremony made Sarah an early threat to the other ladies.

Later being named on the very first date card didn't do much to abate that either.

However, Sarah and the remaining nine women on the show could soon face yet more competition as intruders are believes to shake things up on set shortly.

i love that they say "the claims" ... so its not fact? shock! horror!!

does this mean Jen isn't expecting twins?!?!

VIP friends already! The Bachelor star Heather Maltman attends Joel Edgerton's farewell party in Bondi... without 'mate' Sam Wood
We're used to seeing her on TV screens being all about her favourite guy, Sam Wood.

But on Saturday night Healther Maltman shifted her attention away from her 'mate' The Bachelor and onto a Hollywood star.

The 29-year-old actress attended Australian actor Joel Edgerton's going away party in Bondi, Sydney.

Heather wrapped up for the winter's night out swapping her Bachelor mansion gowns for a red leather jacket and white shorts.

Sam's favourite bachelorette (so far) added a cream scarf and hoody for a dressed down casual look.

She left her brunette tresses down and straightened as she sat back and relaxed at the soiree and chatted to a man holding a newborn baby.

Absent from the snaps is Heather's 'mate' Sam, who is currently back in Melbourne trying to lay low after filming for the Network 10 show wrapped.

Many of the bachelorettes believe that the handsome personal trainer chose either Heather or Snezana at the show finale, as the pair seem to be the favourites so far.

Heather was also a big winner on Wednesday's episode, spending quality time locking lips with Sam.

(yes she probably WAS relaxed amongst people she's probably worked with on film/tv productions and not expecting another guest to be snapping shots of her on their cell phone! )

She admitted to missing him after their date the week prior, adding 'at the end of the day I like you and I'm really here.'

'You're going to have to get rid of me to get rid of me.'

'I know, it's going to be tougher than I think, I may not even be able to do it,' Sam flirted before giving her a kiss on the lips.

Is this just cute and pasted from last article about her?
