The Bachelorette

well yes but they aren't around in this discussion are they?[DOUBLEPOST=1445337787][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't always pay attention to gender anyway ...

Nah, I completely agree. I've found it interesting that this years Bach and Bachette seasons have not only been more popular with the ladies, but have actually got a lot of men talking about them to. It's nice to see
 
I couldn't care less who wins to be honest. While Richie is my favourite I don't have a preference for any of them with Sam...they're all compatible with her and all decent enough guys IMO.

I'm just excited because I thought it was Sash for sure - I like that now that might not necessarily be certain, I like that it might still surprise me

Yeah, a surprise would be nice...although my prediction on here after the first couple of shows was actually Richie so I haven't been sold on Sasha winning all the time. I haven't had much idea who I thought the winner was this season (still don't lol) - so whatever way it goes I think i'll be a little surprised while at the same time not being surprised at all if that makes any sense lol.

I'm surprised you feel that way:eek: :tongue:
 
Interesting that the article posted earlier reckons it's Richie and Michael in the final two. The other forum reckons it's Sasha and Michael, based on this: http://www.tourismnewzealand.com/news/aussie-bachelorette-finds-love-in-new-zealand/

The 90 minute episode will see The Bachelorette, along with her two suitors, visit Rotoura and Auckland experiencing a taste of what the regions have to offer - from white water rafting through to Waiheke Island and luxury sailing in Auckland.

Because there are screenshots of Michael white-water rafting and Sasha on what appears to be a yacht.

Who knows! At least we'll find out soon!
 
Full credit to the production for once again creating considerable mystery. So to me it's probably Sasha but I can totally see it being Richie as well and I am genuinely unsure. Just as I was with snez and Lana really.

The possible downside is that it leaves me questioning the solidarity of the even rusting relationship like I am Sam & Snez, but as a viewer it's far more enjoyable with some degree of mystery as to who goes tonight.

I hope Michael goes tonight, otherwise it will be obvious to me that whoever is in the final 2 with him is the winner.
 
Are we sure the footage of Sam and Richie at the snow fields isn't actually in Australia? That might air tonight leaving Sasha and Michael for top 2.

That's what I had wondered, because they advertised it for Wednesday night.

Having slept on it I'm back to not having a clue lol
 
'I cried for an hour afterwards...' Bachelorette Sam Frost recalls the moment she ejects final third contestant revealing 'who I send home is a massive shock'
By Danielle Gusmaroli for Daily Mail Australia
She wowed she would be exceptionally considerate after the way she was treated by Bachelor Blake Garvey. as in bow wow or maybe just maybe she might have VOWED .... first sentence out - they're not improving!!! F-

And Sam Frost has been true to her word telling The Daily Telegraph that after watching back Wednesday's rose ceremony, which sees her eject one of the final three, she broke down in tears.

The 26-year-old Bachelorette said: 'It was extraordinarily emotional... I cried for about an hour afterwards. I think [who I send home] will be a massive shock to people.'

'Who I send home will be a massive shock': Bachelorette Sam Frost says how she found the penultimate rose ceremony tough revealing she breaks down in tears on Wednesday night's show

The final three: Sam faces the emotional task of ejecting either (from left) Richie Strahan, Sasha Mielczarek or ex professional footballer Michael Turnbull

Last week's show saw Englishman Alex Cameron booted off as she developed stronger connections with each of the remaining men during home visits.

She declared at the time all three were 'absolutely beautiful souls' and that she had 'a crush' on each of them.

She added: 'But at the end of the day you have to have this reality check and go, okay, who is my heart leaning more towards? And it’s not always easy deciding.'

Hanging on: Sasha won't reveal whether he stays or is booted off but gallantly adds 'If I don’t [win] then I know she’s in good hands with the other guy'

The three men give few clues as to wins Sam 's heart.

Former professional footballer Michael Turnbull admits it was 'awkward' watching back the show in Brisbane with his parents watching him kiss Sam onscreen.

'It’s not like I slow mo and watch it again but I can appreciate the position she’s in,' he explained. 'I definitely don’t lose any respect for her,'

Looking back: Michael says he cringed watching back episodes of him smooching Sam with his parents

For his part Sasha Mielczarek won't reveal whether he stays or is booted off but gallantly adds ,'If I don’t [win] then I know she’s in good hands with the other guys.'

And rope technician Richie Strahan says he is me curious to see what the other contestants say watching the show than how Sam is enjoying dates with other men. (he is me?) not last time I checked he wasn't!!

The pretty brunette told the Fitzy and Wippa Nova 96.9 breakfast show on Wednesday that she woke up beside her chosen one that morning with the excitement that after two more shows they can go public with their love. (so Michael's been photographed having coffee with friends and calling (i thought maybe calling Sasha to poke fun at him for the photo that was shown on his phone - which was the one of Sash skydiving and looking scared shitless!) someone and laughing about a DM article clearly visible on his phone) but Richie and Sasha haven't been posting anything on instagram since the weekend ...

Curious: Richie says he was keen to see what other guys on the show were saying

'He's really excited, he said "one more sleep babe, how good is this?"' (WHO does this sound like? doesn't sound like Michael to me)

Meanwhile, this year's Bachelor Sam Wood called Sam on the show to wish her luck for the finale on Thursday.

'Keep doing what you're doing, I now how hard it is to keep the secret but it'll be worth it in the end. I wish you all the best.'

oh shutup Sam Wood - you're no longer relevant - go and live your happily ever after and allow Sam Frost to have her moment without you getting all over it!!! (yes I know ... not over the Heather thing yet ...)
 
He's loving the limelight! Bachelorette star Michael Turnbull checks out Daily Mail article about himself... then shows it to pals
By Megan Pustetto For Daily Mail Australia

He has been branded ‘fame hungry’ since making his debut on The Bachelorette.

And if his recent actions are anything to go by, Michael Turnbull is definitely not doing anything to quell the accusations that he is on the show for fame, and not love.

The 34-year-old former football player was seen showing of a Daily Mail Australia article about himself to his friends as he enjoyed a few quiet beers in Brisbane ahead of the finale on Thursday.

Loving the attention! Michael Turnbull was seen sharing a Daily Mail Australia article about himself to his friends as he enjoyed a few beers in Brisbane ahead of the finale on Thursday

An act of self promotion! The reality star proudly showed the article to guests seated at the table

Looking extremely chuffed with his mention on the site, the reality star couldn’t wipe the smile from his face as he proudly read the details of the article out aloud to guests seated at the table.

The article which entertained the television star was titled: 'Are Michael and Richie Sam Frost's final two?'

His happy reaction to the publicity suggests that the reality star is enjoying the attention his new found stardom has brought.

After he finished reading the article, the hunky bachelor then got on the phone, and was seen chatting animatedly – maybe even sharing the news of his feature with more members of his inner circle.

Once he finished up talking on his mobile, Michael looked to be in high spirits as he shared a laugh with his mates as they sipped on their alcohol beverages, possibly divulging details on his relationship status with Sam Frost.

For the casual outing, the former Brisbane Strikers player dressed in figure hugging white T-shirt which emphasised his ripped torso and showed off his heavily inked arms.

He paired the laid back top with a pair of blue denim jeans and baby blue Polo Ralph Lauren sneakers which featured brown laces.

Michael chose to stick to his signature accessories on the day, which consisted of a large gold watch and a collection of beaded black bracelets.

Itc omes after Michael made the most of his foray into the public eye, setting up a Facebook fan page for himself a few weeks before The Bachelorette went to air.

He also took the opportunity to set up a fashion website, titled Red Carpet With Michael.

The website's homepage reads: 'Michael has always had a passion for quality in everything that he does, including fashion, travel, jewellery through to food and wine'.

Written in the site's description is: 'It is his goal to share his favourite fashion labels, business ideas, travel destinations and even his favourite food and wine tips with you.'

In July this year, Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that the professional soccer player had been selected by Channel Ten last year to star on The Bachelor, but that he was dropped by the station in favour of Blake Garvey.

Relaxing: He shared a laugh with his mates as they sipped on their alcohol beverages, possibly divulging details on his relationship status with Sam Frost

At the time, a source told DMA that Michael 'was second in line behind Blake for The Bachelor, so it doesn't surprise me at all that he has done this now', referring to Michael's announcement that he would appear on The Bachelorette.

'They flew him to Sydney for interviews and screen tests, but he lost out to Blake, hence why they then asked him on the Bachelorette' said the source.

'I'm not sure he is in it for the love, however, as he is a bit of a "bachelor for life"', they added.

The sportsman has been dipping his toes into entrepreneurial waters for some time, having established two successful businesses in the three years since 2012.

The first is an online talent platform for professional athletes called My Athlete Profile and the other is a real estate agency titled Onehome Real Estate.

Ok, I'm back to thinking Sasha goes tonight and then Richie wins.

lol

What the heck do I know??? But I'm sticking to that until I'm wrong as usual tonight.
 
If she dumps Richie before the final two it will be Heathergate all over again, and she kind of deserves what she gets.

I can only speak for myself, but it would be no choice at all for me. Richie is the one you could guarantee would give her everything. Sasha and Michael are too in love with themselves. Michael is the better of the two but he's quite emotionally closed off as far as I can see. I also have a hunch that Sasha would be the least heartbroken by being dumped, though it would hurt his ego obviously.
