Who is the guy with Sophie in the video when it is not playing at the top?
I am not sure which one of her contestants that is.

HAVE A NECTARINE, GONK
Dunno, but I'm glad they don't make promos like that for Survivor, because you could easily figure out who is in future episodes we haven't sen yet. Luckily spoilers for this show don't matter so much, for me at least.

Can I have someone? I'd like Uncle Sam and if you're still allowed more than one, Apollo, hahaha.

Well, that was a treat to watch! Came home late. My lord, couldn't believe my eyes. I cannot recall a season of the Bach aside from maybe Des's (US) with such a group of fugly guys. To make it worse, many of Sophie's men are ludicrously young for her, and then a fair swathe of them are also really short, god bless. But they're funny! I could see someone like Sam Frost walking out after meeting some of these men.
I love Sophie and I wish they'd cast at least a few more real contenders. As it is, I can only see Luke, Jarrad , and James, and my dear old Uncle Sam, as having any potential whatsoever (but in any previous season of the Bach'ette they'd have been also-rans, I think). Funny, she sent home the only guy who was older than her. Well, it should be a good season, however, because Sophie is so damn good-natured and quick with the wry comments. I loved some of her responses and how she managed to also stay kind last night.
Ryan is a total shit, which is unfortunate. I just hope she finds some semblance of love.

Sophie Monk brings Bachelorette biggest-ever franchise launch
September 21st, 2017 By David Knox Filed under: News,
Just how big was The Bachelorette with Sophie Monk? Very.
It drew 951,000 in total viewers and swept all three demos -that was the biggest ever launch for a Bachelor / Bachelorette franchise so far. On social media #BacheloretteAU trended at #2 on Twitter worldwide last night, #1 nationally in Australia, while Sophie Monk, Jourdan and The Bachelorette all trended nationally.
To be fair it was not enough to knock The Block from top slot, a testament to its staying power. At 1.03m is was narrowly ahead. That left Seven caught in the crossfire at 619,000 for Border Security.

Fellow Australians, we’re currently living in uncertain times. There’s a lot of fear. There’s a lot of hate. But there are two simple things you can do to help solve this.
Honestly doing these two things will bring you joy and probably give you clear skin.

She actually booted the only guy older than her and the only guy her age. I don't know why I am so obsessed with age - but I was looking forward to a season with more mature contestants. Nick freaking Vile is Sophie's age, more or less. There are still single men available who are 37! It just sucks she got so many comedy contenders and shorties as well. Sorry, short men, but she's Sophie Monk!
ok - sorry - very late here (left my ipad at the office overnight - quel horreur!!!)
ok so I think we can all agree Consuela has UNBELIEVABLE taste ... Eden?!?! I haven't laughed so hard in ages
and I think we can all agree Ryan is an obnoxious pig of a man
- we were robbed of hearing what Sophie had to say - he completely ignored the fact that she was talking and rudely swooped in to "whisk" her away ... and HE wants to know if SHE is genuine? No you idiot - she's prepared to humiliate herself in front of the whole of Australia just for shits and giggles - wtf!? go home - SOON!!!
although there are a few others I would have hoped to go earlier just so he can provide a bit of "drama" and hopefully so we can see one of the others deck him and dunk him in the pool!!
the weeper - yep he can go - didn't like him the moment he stepped out of the limo
Chad ... Jamie ... not keen on the guy who whipped his undies off and THREW THEM IN HER FACE!!!! (smooth move!! doofus!!)
I thought the 3 little guys were gorgeous and great move to show you like kids and they like you ... but then OMFG HAS THAT HAIR NEVER SEEN A COMB?? Manbun = GET SOME SCISSORS!!!
However later I changed my mind about Sam and I think Sophie did too - she wasn't impressed by the manbun either but enjoyed the undie run - not so much for the sight of a guy running around in his - OMG WHO WEARS LONG JOHNS FOR A FIRST INTRO ON THE BACHELORETTE!?! ... sorry - but LONG JOHNS FFS ... ok where was I? I think she was just very very thankful for a chance to escape the weeper/drama queen (and wtf was with the limping? hey ho - attention seeker alert right there - and then when noone even seemed to notice the limp he went in for the weeping) OUT OUT OUT - GET RID OF HIM!!
Blake (the Pete Evans look alike douchebag) /// entrepreneur /// toss pot /// actually unemployed model who thinks "So how much will that all cost?" makes him sound entrepreneurial /// did I say douchebag already??
Apollo ... who calls their kids Apollo? is it actually his stage name?? ok so he's ok looking - but it borders on baby-faced ... and I'm not sold on the whole b-cup thing ... it reeks of way too many hours in front of the mirrors at the gym
another reason I liked Sam eventually is he didn't seem to have the overly taut muscley body - he might even have a bit of a dad bod but it might have just been the fact that he was freezing after the dip in the pool (I DO have to question his sanity though ... manbun ... long johns ... dip in the pool) but hey - in the end he got the superdooper rosey thing - A WORLD WIDE FIRST you know
and who dipped first - Sam? or the Otter (wtf - we have sea otters running around wild in Australia now - who knew!?!) / Possum ??
ok so I enjoyed the intros - feeling sorry for those who just got fastforwarded and who obviously are non-contenders so why not just fast forward the next 6 or so Rose Ceremonies and get rid of them ... they are just wallpaper/seat holders now
so far I like Jarrod (he was interesting - although maybe thinking that women become more interested the minute he mentions the winery was little offputting) , Brett (he reminds me of an actor but I can't tell you who right now - the name escapes me) , Jefferson (though can't remember his intro at the moment), Luke (always had a soft spot for Clooney), James (bit too shy - hope he comes out of his shell a bit more on a date) ... the polo guy ... not sure he's in with a shot ... and what happened to the supposed beer baron/millionaire? is he one of the intruders?
sorry if I've repeated what anyone else has said - I ran out of time reading through the pages .. I'll go back now to reading it all)

I don't think they have intruders on the Bachelorette series. But it would be great if they did this time, and raised the bar.
Yeah, I was thinking at a pinch Brett wasn't too bad, but then I keep remembering he's a personal trainer. Maybe that's not so bad... Desperate times!
I was thinking, maybe he's Greek - but then I read somewhere this morning it's his stage name. He used to be a v. big load of man and then he had a heart attack at 22 and came to his senses and turned himself into a God!

and when he's married with children and suddenly doesn't have hours to waste looking at himself in mirrors at the gym the God Bod fades away into the Dad Bod so hes going to need to have something else besides some magic tricks and Bcups to bring to the table to impress me ...
The Bachelorette 2017: Sophie Monk is leaving the country to avoid spoiling the result
ByAine Ryan
Sophie Monk will leave the country so she doesn't spoil The Bachelorette
We may be watching her fall in love each week onThe Bachelorette, butSophie Monkis actually about to leave the country -- and she's doing it for us.
The 37-year-old wrapped up filming for the reality show last month, and revealed this morning that she is giving up the opportunity to spend time with whoever won her heart on the show, in order to avoid spoiling the result for viewers.
"Hence the reason I’m leaving the country," Sophie told Nova's Chrissie, Sam & Browny. "I break all the rules. I can’t do rules. I will definitely try to see him and mess it all up for everyone. So I have to remove myself.
"I know I’ve got no willpower, and so that I don’t weaken, I’m going overseas."
Last month, the winner ofThe Bachelorwas spoiled when photographers followed contestantLaura Byrneto New South Wales' Blue Mountains, where she met up for a secret rendezvous with bachelorMatty J.
Fans were disappointed to learn the result weeks before the finale was meant to air.
WhenChrissie Swanasked Sophie where she plans to travel, the singer revealed she's had to change her plans.
"I was going to go to Mexico," she explained. "[But due to the earthquakes] I think we are going to change it, me and my best friend."
Last night's debut episode saw the very first rose ceremony, with three men being eliminated. There are now 15 suitors remaining who are vying for Sophie's heart. Two intruders are also expected to enter the mansion in the coming weeks.
Luke, Apollo and Jarrod are fan favourites,but we have our own theory about who will win.
The finale is expected to air in late October.

Did you spot the man SLEEPING at the cocktail party? The Bachelorette star Jefferson 'passes out' on the lounge as Sophie Monk casually walks past him
ByChloe-lee Longhetti For Daily Mail Australia
PUBLISHED:15:13 +10:00, 21 September 2017|UPDATED:15:45 +10:00, 21 September 2017
There were plenty of shenanigans at the cocktail party during Wednesday's season premiere of The Bachelorette - but there was one moment fans may have missed.
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, a male contestant appeared to have 'passed out' on the couch in the background as Sophie Monk casually walked past him.
KIIS FMreports the contestant was Jefferson, who wore a blue suit with a red pocket square that night, and that he 'may have been a little too interested in the alcohol more than Sophie.'
Having a snooze from the booze? The Bachelorette's Jefferson 'passes out' on the lounge at the cocktail party as Sophie Monk struts past him
Sophie - who wore a plunging silk gown at the party - showcased her trim pins as she walked past the snoozing suitor, appearing not to notice him.
Jefferson is an events manager from New South Wales, who is 30-years-old.
The hunk was bought up in Florence, Italy and is of South American decent.
Having a ball! There were plenty of shenanigans at the cocktail party on the debut episode of The Bachelorette on Wednesday night
Caught on camera! Sophie - who wore a plunging silk gown at the party - showcased her trim pins as she walked past the snoozing suitor, appearing not to notice him
Jefferson has previously said he is serious about finding love, and can see himself having kids in 10 years' time.
He said he wants to be a 'a father with lots and lots of kids, chasing the summers between Australia and Italy.'
At the cocktail part on Wednesday, things got a little wild when Samual did a nudie run, much to the amusement of his fellow Bachelors.
Looking for love: Jefferson is an events manager from NSW, who is 30-years-old
He ran around the mansion before jumping in the pool, with Sophie clearly enjoying the playful first night antics.
'To be half naked, half wet, no pride, hugging Sophie Monk... it was actually quite nice,' Samual later said.
At the end of the night, she handed him the Double Delight Rose, which entitles him to two single dates in the series.
