The Bachelor Australia 2015

Oh you mean the type of 'humour' where I start throwing assumptions that everyone who impassionately defends these z grade celebs as if they were their own flesh and blood are embittered thrice divorced middle aged misandrists who have nothing better to do with their spare time than to live vicariously through shameless 'slappers' (who'll do anything for their 15 minute of fame including pretending to fall in love with some goofy looking random on national tv) that they'll probably never meet in their lives. Oh the hilarity. hahaha :hilarious:

Doubt that kind of humour would go down well in a predominantly female frequented board. :angelic: Anyway I come on reality tv forums to take the piss out of the contestants who willingly participate on these shows and therefore leave themselves open to public ridicule. Trolling anonymous posters in a forum who I know next to nothing about, I'll leave that to the trolls. So no, that ain't my kind of 'humour' just in case it wasn't clear.

I was just juxtaposing consuelas sense of 'humour' to an equivalent. I don't go around calling people misandrists, lonely cat hags, etc.. based on what they think about some famewhore (the male bach). It appears you missed the point of my analogy entirely.

Like I said it's a tad creepy to get invested and be THAT defensive for reality celebs you only know from the edits of a producer.

I'm so confused. Why are you going in at me? All I said was drag ha and then you went off at me so I said to chill it's just in jest. Maybe I should clarify what is is to drag someone? It means to insult them directly as opposed to shading someone which is indirect. It's not an endorsement. Now I'm like a troll or something???

So this is a tad removed but Lana's ex bf's mother was in my home today. Why she didn't tell me this straight away is beyond me, I only learnt after she left and the chance for grilling had gone. Not sure she would be a source of Bach gossip but you never know, maybe Lana centric stuff at least.

Ohhh. Pity.
 
Yeah, I agree. In fact, I think I have two theories / observations to take away from The Bachelor.

1. I think Sam and Snez are already over and this weekend was mostly a media opportunity, some posed photos, mostly in a hotel room (or Sam's house?) and then another set in AC/DC Lane. Correct me if I am wrong, but these are the only sets of photos we've seen since the 'winner' was announced. What about photos of Snez meeting Sam's friends? Why didn't he take her to the airport?

2. Something that keeps coming back to me, as more of an observation than theory, was that Lana commented that she wasn't into the same things as Sam and therefore, what point would there be in them becoming friends. Now whether this was bitterness speaking, or the cold hard truth, I am kind of astounded that someone could be prepared to spend 'forever' with someone they had so few shared interests with.
 
Sam and Snezana are every annoying couple in a new relationship.


A little bit cute and a little bit sickening.

We get it, you’re in love. Enough already.

In case you missed it, Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski from The Bachelor ended up together and are very much in love.

Realistically, you probably haven’t missed it, as now that they’re able to “go public” with their love, they are taking every opportunity to do so.

Every. Opportunity.

Their social media pages are littered with pictures of each other with hashtags such as #beautifulinsideandout and #crazyinlove and in every interview they are constantly talking about how much they love each other.

And it’s cute. Don’t get me wrong. Yay love and all that.

But like all new couples who are in the bubble of happy loved-up ignorance, they have started to cross over into dangerous territory.

Territory that I can only refer to as Excessive Use of Public Displays of Affection (EUPDA).

It’s a common phenomenon that we’re all familiar with, and Sam and Snez aren’t the only ones to fall victim to it.

So much love. (Post continues after gallery)

Romantic oversharers Sam and Snez.

It usually starts in a similar way to Sam and Snez’s (minus the whole “dating 20 other women” thing).

Two people start seeing each other. They have a period of not being together “officially” but kind of “unofficially” and they really like each other but they just haven’t had the conversation yet and they’re not sure if the other person is even interested so they’re just seeing how it goes for the moment.

And then it happens. The glorious “where are we going?” conversation takes place (or he eliminates the 20 other women he’d been dating, either/or), and within a blink of an eye, their relationship is official.

And by official, I mean it starts appearing on social media. So that’s how you know.

Not only are they telling you every little detail in person, but they are also posting all their love online.

The first few posts they put up together are nice. They look excited and happy and they’re just letting people know that they’re a “thing” now.

You get it.

Then they start posting a bit more frequently. The hashtags become increasingly cringe-worthy with #loveyouforever and #bestgirlfriendever starting to appear.

Not only this, but every time you catch up you are hearing about how <insert pet name here> is just so perfect and wonderful and great and that they know they are going to be happy together forever.

And thus, a combined one-soul-two-hearts monster is born.

Suddenly you’re thinking of ways you can subtly unfollow them, or let them know love can be beautiful in private as well.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this very common problem.

We must create an entirely new mini-civilisation for new couples to live in while they’re still in their honeymoon period, complete with a unique social media platform entitled “Love Love Love” where they can post couple selfies to their hearts’ content.

It’s the only way we can move forward as a society. Sorry, Sam and Snez.

it will be interesting to see WHO does the travelling

if Snez is going to finish a degree AND give Eve attention she's going to be pretty busy - but if she's doing all the travelling (because they'll get more publicity and invites to openings etc in Melbourne) I don't see its going to last too long at all

how long til the "Sam Wood seen with mystery woman" stories start??

My bad, I'm not up to date with all the hippity dippity slang terms from the LGBT community. I thought you were arguing that poking fun at reality contestants (what I fess up to) is akin/equivalent to trolling anonymous posters for no other reason then you don't agree with their opinion of said reality contestants. So I assumed you were calling me a hypocrite or something when I believe that's a flimsy logic at best and not remotely comparable.

Glad we got that sorted out.

Is this the point where we have makeup sex?

don't hate me but I see it quite differently to a lot here, I like and believe their love story :D

Maybe I'm gullible, naive or just a hopeless romantic
but I don't see it as 'an act', 'they've already split', or 'will split for sure' etc etc

Just some responses to what's been posted since the series ended:
  • Maybe they wont last but don't they have similar odds as most couples (>50% of ppl split so I guess it's a 50/50 bet at best)

  • Does it really mean anything which one does most of the travelling? Really it doesn't say much either way atm, whatever works for them. They have challenges living interstate and busy lives etc, and it's smart they take it slow and neither moves yet... no big changes for Eve, Sam continues building his business, Snez finishes her degree etc.

  • About them "not having much in common"...
    They have more in common than lots of couples imo (including me and 'my mister' haha, and we're ok ;)).
    To start, they obviously have a similar mindset about going on a show like the Bachelor, both put effort into looking their best, comfortable with the spotlight and media attention, into selfies (no judgement meant lol), both seem to have close families, both want more kids and a big one imo, they have similar studies (both degrees in health related fields, B.Sc)
I like: :)
  • Sam ending up with a woman with brains, motivation, a career, beauty, same age group and that her having a kid didn't put him off (all a good image & evolution for us females I reckon lol). My only hope is that she finishes her Molecular Science degree and stays that image of brains and beauty... and doesn't get sucked into the world of SM and the superficial.
ok I'm stopping now, I'm starting to feel like their pr, haha, I think I've just really enjoyed their story and the Bachelor this season :p
 
Altho I do hate... :arghh:

  • the format of how the F2 is led on for our entertainment, to keep us guessing (mainly in the final episode!), too cruel! Tim did it with Rochelle in the final episode (season 1) and now Sam’s done it to Lana.

I really want Shine to change it in future series, or for future bachelors to speak up and say “NO, I’m not leading someone on that way ”.

OR maybe production could simply pay F2 to act the final episode, or bring them in on the charade.

(who cares if some people find the final as boring hell b/c the F1 is obvious, at least some of us won’t be left feeling that we’ve enjoy something that could have caused so much hurt to someone else)
