The Bachelor Australia 2015

Yeah I think she probably thought she was no chance and then went Sarah left I noticed her soften.....so she's been dumped the minute she's opened up...and by dumped as in rejected.
I've had that happen to me and it actually took far longer to get over than longer relationships I'd had where I was in love.

I have a low opinion on Sam sad to say....he's a creep.

On the plus Sarah couldn't care less LOL she was never into him it seems.

I started off thinking he was great because he DID seem to be considering the girls - what they'd like to do (little did we know at the start that there were massive budget cuts this year and we'd be seeing that damn couch pop up every single date night!!) and when he seemingly considered Jacinda's feelings enough to send her home without putting her through a rose ceremony (but that wouldn't have necessarily been his idea any way ... if production didn't want it it wouldn't happen) but that opinion got eroded away by the standard speils being trotted out ... I guess when you're lying through your teeth you DO keep up the same lines over and over ... and after all why change the speil if the girls have no idea they're getting the same lines the others are!

I think they took it all too far by forcing these confessions of their feelings towards Sam in the last few shows ... there was no need to force them into the desperate state of "i HAVE to say this otherwise he'll send me home" ... and I think that's why in the end he comes out looking like a jerk

and then compounds it in his loved-up state by rubbing their noses in it with statements on how he didn't have feelings for them etc etc

its called kicking someone when they're down - its a low act
 
Firstly...YAYYY sooo happy he picked Snez, to me it has been quite obvious the last few episodes they were in love. I really hope they last but I think he will have to go to Perth so time will tell.

I have really liked Sam, I think he is the best aussie bachelor yet and don't understand all the hate he is getting. Sure he could of handled the Heather situation better but I think people forget how much say the producers have in who goes and when, they obviously wanted her around for as long as possible. As a bachelor/ette mega fan I have seen all of the american seasons and a part from 1-2 seasons they all do the same as what Sam has done with the last few girls, they even end up sleeping with at least one of the top four that they don't pick in the end! I am not saying it is right but it is part of the show and it is what it is...
 
Narcissistic being normalised to the extreme!!

The final episode took it to a whole new level (even worse than Tim Robard’s spa scene with Rochelle)

Shame on channel 10 and all involved with the final episode.
 
I wrote an essay! Mummy make it stop...

It's part of the job of the Bachelor to profess to having feelings for all three/four of these 'girls' and then to be saying as he's contemplating the final two, 'it's crazy, but I really don't know still which one I'm going to choose', just as it's contractually agreed and/or cut out of the edit if he slips up, that he won't tell The One that he's in love with her, or indicate in any conclusive way that She's It.

I don't think it is fair to blame a Bachelor for the constraints of the format. If he met them all on the opening night, twigged which one he felt most attracted to and interested in, and said so then it would be a pretty dull and suspenseless show.

So, sure Sam is backpeddling, as he's chosen Snez and the footage of his hand on Lana's bum etc is out there and he sure did look enthusiastic in his kissing. But really? We're all virgins now? This is the show. People try out the waters, then pick the one they fancy the most, or 'have the most intense connection with,' or 'grew to love and respect on this very unique and special journey'. (And sometimes people really do meet someone who they then go on to spend many happy years with, and/or marry, like Sean and Catherine, Jason and Molly, and my favourites, Trista and Ryan. Or poor Desiree and Chris. Imagine having to hear that poetry forEVA!)

The fact Lana could only describe Sam as 'uniquely perfect' showed me last night she'd never bothered to get to know the guy and if she was in love or infatuated with someone it was a fantasty construct, as much of her own making as the show's.

It hurts to lose, and I never got the sense that Lana was in this for anything more than 'winning'. I'm sure it was a horrible shock, but even at the terrible moment and in the car afterwards all she expressed was petulance, not loss or grief or heartbreak.

That single tear on the morning show was to my mind more a product of the hurt and frustration of all the speculation and commentary in the mags etc, the last few months, and then having it all re-rubbed in her face by last night's public viewing - not the pain of heartbreak. It is a pity people have been saying mean and nasty things about her on social media to add to it all. But that is modern life sadly. The End.

I felt the same until I saw how he was with Lana and somehow my happiness for Sam & Snez came second to my sadness for Lana. I was so expecting that it was Snez but not the marshmallow scene etc ... "I was expecting that"

This is all memory, but I think he implied it. I have lots of vivid dreams so sometimes my memories are actually dreams, so bear with me. I am often shocked when people don't recall the conversations i have in my dreams

Same, I have vivid dreams too. And in my dreams, I travel the world, just the other day I went to Germany! On another note, do you recall Warwickshire quote on comfort zone? I want to write it down, thanks

So if he never had the same spark with Lana why did he play tonsil hockey for so long RIGHT BEFORE CHOOSING SNEZ.

See I get the concept of the Bachelor, and I've watched many of them, and I know the whole thing is you can't let on who you're going to pick. But in all this time it's really rare to see someone say so often that he NEVER felt things for other women and yet kiss them as if he was right into them. There are ways to have fun on the date but not be so intimate in your touching/kissing!

All this is coming out later though so really.. all I have to say is... bactracking and WHIPPED!

yep agree, (only took a day and the final episode and now I'm agreeing with you here Insomnia) :)
I didnt feel it with Heather (F4, no real chemistry imo etc) but I felt it last night.
 
Gemini said:
I can't work out if this is all because he's a jerk, or like you said, he's backtracking and whipped and saying whatever he feels will stop him getting into trouble with Snez after what was seen on the show.

Either way though it makes him look like a jerk.

Yeh probably maybe to do with post production with Snez and the final edit.
Could be a shock and he's inept at handling it.
He started off well and imo he's still probably a good guy and genuinely fell for Snez but naive, was in a bubble and got sucked in with production etc
 
I really need to watch these interviews, because yeah I am still of the opinion lana was in it to win it. Still think the bach's speech was ridiculous, you're the perfect girl just not the perfect girl for me... That was rude- lay off on all the smooching and ass grabbing and ott I want to be with you stuff. I'm more than sure he took an intruder to the end to lessen the blow. Yeah still not a fan of the Bach. I have suspicions that the breakup will be due to distance too which again makes it convenient for him.

Bring on the bachelorette

Oh dear, poor Conn apparently has never been in love, would explain a lot!

I've never been in a situation where I'm competing for the same female with another bunch of guys slobbering all over her in front of my face at the same time, on national television to boot!

So no I can't say that I have experienced this kind of 'love' before. It's a foreign concept and wanna it to remain that way, I have too much dignity and self respect to put myself through that. :shamefully:

Judging by Lana's last pic on Instagram, the tide has definitely turned in the comments since appearing on Studio 10 this morning. Most are now nice.

I think, if any of these women had met Sam at a nightclub, a party, or at a lunchtime barbeque they'd have smiled politely and carried on.

Anway, I do hope if Snow White really is in love with her Woodsman (heh) that the feeling is mutual and he treats her and her daughter well. It would be nice if it lasted, somehow.

Exactly. I can't believe how 'romantically' invested a bunch of random women got over the SAME friggin' guy they couldn't tell apart from a bar of soap just a few months ago. It is genuinely mind boggingly and scary at the same time. :wideyed:

What are the odds of a randomly selected group of girls ending up believing some equally randomly selected bloke just after a few weeks of going out on dates with him is the perfect man for most of them.

*shakes head in disbelief*

I'm sorry but it is just too hard to believe, it is not normal well adjusted human behaviour. Me thinks the surreal nature of the show has messed with their heads and convinced them that they truly cared for this guy on a deep romantic level. Either that or they fall in 'love' with men far too easily.
