That I think gives us 4 episodes left,

# speed dating 5 become 4

# meet the families 4 becomes 3

# overnight stays( I think) 3 becomes 2

# meet Sam's family, final 1 on 1 dates and the final rose ceremony

Can't wait!!

I remember in an the US version they had a a show before the finale where all the girls had the chance to confront the bachelor and question the final 2. Do they do that for the AUS version?
 
Well, I backed up a page or so and read the article - he sounds like he's doing well, now. Good on him, it isn't easy getting clean off meth. I know a lot of nice, kind, intelligent and mature-aged people who have really done a number on themselves with that particular drug.

Honestly, I wonder if I've stumbled into the methodist ladies society c 1890... This sniffy attitude from a couple of posters towards Snez and the implication and/or statement she shouldn't be involved with a fun TV show like the Bachelor because someone she was married to has a record and used drugs in the past?? And so what if she's been sexually active. "Quite the reputation" geez. I find this all very offensive. Dressing it up in 'concern' for her daughter or faux-sadness etc only makes it worse.

Snez is a strong woman to have survived that shit and got out and got on with her life. It is not easy being married to an addict, and it is not easy being a single mum. FukK! This is making my blood boil. This is a seedy reality TV show, not a virgin's marriage bureau for uptight straight white people, and Snez has as much right as the next pretty woman to try her luck.

It means if things like that have happened in your life you should not go on a TV show unless you are quite happy for all the unsavory details to be published nationwide potentially causing hurt and embarrassment for your family.

Sorry but most people who have lived for 34 years like Snezana have some form of history. What you have been through and the things that happen to you make you the person you are. It is actully a credit to Snez that she hasn't gone on there looking for anyone to feel sorry for her, she's a strong and beautiful woman, and has nothing to be ashamed of. She's not running for President of the USA after all.

It's a really messy situation isn't it? And one I'm not completely comfortable commenting on knowing we only know bit parts of their lives.

I think it's completely admirable that Snez has risked the backlash of her ex's past all coming out to try and find happiness on the show. On the same token though not having any idea about what this guy is currently like and not wanting to assume I can see there are huge implications about moving Eve away if she has a relationship with her father.

That would be the case with anyone who was divorced and had a child though. Sam would have considered that from the beginning I would have thought. The fact that her ex has that history is actualy irrelevant to Snez herself apart from the fact it would make her stronger.

Apparently the bachelorette starts Sept 23. I wonder if they have brought the date forward or if this was always going to be the start date. Timing?

I think there's only 4 left now. Originally the episode description of #16 made it sound like there were going to be more but they've changed it now to make it sound like it will be the finale. Weird. Looks like they're trying to condense/rush it through now.

'I wonder if I've stumbled into the methodist ladies society c 1890'

This post made my bloody day! I am laughing so hard at the way you comment- you still made your point too.

'Virgins marriage bureau' that is freaking gold!

Oh no, I have no issue with Snez's choices at all (I probably didn't word that well). I just assume she'll have a lot to consider here if she does win because not knowing what this guy is like now Eve could love him dearly for all we know and Snez will have a lot to consider before moving to Melbourne. Snez may want out of WA but I don't want to assume that Eve does too if that makes any sense. The kid is 10. She has deep rooted relationships over there and one could very well be with her Dad.

I hope whatever happens the both of them (Snez and Eve) are happy and can make it work with both Sam and their family. It'll be difficult but it seems Snez has gone through a lot so I'd give her a good chance of working through it.

Wow poor Snez. I guess in coming on the show she had to expect this might come out, but it's no reason not to. It just really sucks that there's a child involved and the possible flow on effect for her, I do think Snez is generally doing well to protect her though. It does potentially change a lot of things regarding custody and moving though certainly. I don't think too many assumptions can be made about her based on her relationship history, not by us or by Sam - I would certainly hate to be judged solely on some of my exes!!

They did last year it was quite good to see the girls again, the first Bach they had an after the final Rose ceremony. This was a little confronting for the 2nd and 3rd girls as they were still a little emotional.
I hope they do what they did last year and have a catch up with the woman as this years can be very catty.

One, you sound a tad too invested in the show with the 'praying good ol Sam is the decent guy...and is a better judge of character", and threatening boycott of the show and using editing for your own obsession for how you think things should be.
Which leads me to two, of course you 'know all about Snez'- I call bullshit! Seems like you are pushing your agenda for your own winner, being heather and again with the tad too invested comments of hoping she holds her head high, and obsessively will shame another woman to do so. 'Reputation with men', what an extremely judgemental thing to say- I hope you're not a woman, because I find that absolutely disgusting shaming another woman.

Snezena has done nothing wrong entering the show. This misplaced blaming is absolute bs! Why should the responsibility not go on the ex for not just saying no comment or the trash gossip magazines, who are both contributors to the affect this will have on snez's daughter. Oh yeah it's all the responsibility of a mother only- no one else should show any competency at all. I don't want to hear about that is how the world is etc etc, it's these things which people should speak up and banish others from holding over another human beings head. What utter nonsense!

Edit: I don't care to be pleasant to a newbie with that type of contribution and rather speak up before other so called newbies think this is absolutely fine. None of the regs here are like that, in fact I consider them open hearted and open minded.

I'm sorry you misread my post and took it to the extreme viewpoint.

I only contributed because I thought you would want to hear from someone who knows first hand about the situation.

Certainly not 'pushing' my own agenda. It's a TV show and has no relevance to my life whatsoever. I've just enjoyed the show and have a soft spot for how Heather was portrayed. The only thing I don't enjoy is when edits and producing change the reality of a 'reality' show.

Guess the Snez situation can be applied to any contestant. What we see to be the truth and what is the truth can be very different things. If you are a viewer not actually knowing the people first hand it's all perception.

Unfortunately on entering on a show like this her past was going to be thrown into the spotlight.

Apologies if I offended anyone and happy to delete my posts if that is the case.

Don't worry about it, for what it's worth you didn't offend me. We just have a bad history on this forum (not just the Bachelor but BB too) of people racing in and making pretty damning claims against people, saying that they know them, with no proof to really back it up other than their word. It probably didn't help your case that you followed your claims up by saying you liked Heather's portrayal on the show because that gives the impression that you may be just making stuff up to push Heather over Snez.

I'm not in a position to say that you're lying, but yeah, we tend to take people running in with damning claims with a grain of salt so please don't be offended if you have us questioning the truth of your claims.
 
I think the only real relevance with Snez's ex husband is the custody arrangement and whether or not she could move across the country. I'm not convinced the courts would let her.

Thank you.

I completely understand. I was never going to post anything and was enjoying the banter on the forum but when everyone started speculating about Snez without knowing the real story I didn't feel like it was right. Both she and her ex have been through a hard time and both adore their daughter. Her ex even has Eve's name tattooed on his arm and there's no way he'd let her move interstate without a fight.

I know these forums are designed for discussion but it's upsetting when people pretend to know someone from pure screen time.

There's a lot more to this story (which hopefully won't make it to press) and my intention here is solely to say don't judge a book by it's cover. I don't know any other of the contestants so for all we know there could be other background stories that don't mesh with the personalities we've been shown.

We have no control over the winner and regardless of who we'd like to win, that was decided months ago. Nothing we say will or can have an effect on it.

I hope that if Snez wins that Sam was informed about the 'background' and didn't make a misinformed decision.
