The Bachelor Australia 2015

From glamour to grunge: Heather Maltman showcases her street style...a dramatically different look to the elegant gowns that caught Sam Wood's eye on The Bachelor
By LUCY LEAVER FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

just in case we weren't already sick of seeing those shots from previous article ... they needed to get some extra use out of them

She may be one of the favourites to take out Sam Wood's heart on The Bachelor Australia thanks to her quirky personality and elegant on-screen gowns.

But off-screen, competitor Heather Maltman cuts a very different figure to the sequin-and-feather clad woman who caught Sam Wood's eye.

The 29-year-old donned a pair of ripped denim boyfriend jeans as she sauntered around the streets of Sydney's North Ryde this week, just one of the more casual outfits she's dnned since filming ended.
dnned ... interesting ... see later comment regarding The Great Australian Spelling Bee and ohhh sauntered ... someone's had their thesaurus out again!!!

On screen glamour: The Bachelor hopeful is a fan favourite to win Sam Wood's heart on the show

Keeping in sync with the second-hand outfit look, the Bachelor hopeful added a shoulderless white turtleneck sweater and a black leather jacket.

Another of her dressed-down outfits was a pair of floral shorts teamed with a mustard-coloured scarf and cropped denim jacket.

A third casual ensemble of a short frock with knee-high socks showed off Heather's slim pins.

The reality TV star usually opts for a minimal make-up look, showing off her blemish-free face.

Keeping it casual: Heather in knee-high socks and on another day a pair of ripped jeans and cream turtlenec
I'm guessing this bright spark isn't a contestant on The Great Australian Spelling Bee ... N E C K - neck
and they are THIGH High rather than KNEE High ... but then if you can't spell neck why would you know where your fkn knees are?

The thigh's the limit! A dramatic split in this dress showed off Heather's figure to great advantage

Glamour girl! Two episodes showcased Heather's cocktali style, including full skirts and pop-colour heels
wonder if they'd look at me funny if I went into DJ's and told them I needed a cocktali style and since when is black a colour?

The casual outfits are a far cry from the Heather viewers know from the show, who is impeccably dressed in glamourous gowns for rose ceremonies. as are all the other girls who are probably going around very casual at home too!!

Some of her preferred cuts include short pantsuits that show off her impressive pins. preferred cuts?? what??

The brunette beauty sticks, for the most part, to monochrome colour schemes and usually wears her long free. How SHOULD one wear their long? Doesn't ANYONE edit this stuff?

2B9730F000000578-0-image-m-57_1440300065388.jpg

Back to basics! With long, trim pins, Heather takes any opportunity to show off some skin in short shorts

2B97310400000578-0-image-m-47_1440299959530.jpg

Cream of the crop! Heather chose this short playsuit with lace, long-sleeves, paired with matching earrings
aka long lace sleeves - yes I know I'm just getting picky now but this is really annoying me!

2B9730F400000578-0-image-m-60_1440300365860.jpg

All in a flap! A Great Gatsby-themed party in one episode had the contestants dress in themed outfits

stand by for more recycling folks

Earlier this week the brunette sparked rumours she was the one who swept Sam off his feet after telling KIIS 106.5's Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson that they're still in touch.

'Him [Sam] and I had actually very briefly, kind of talked about but, that's also because like I said we're really good friends,' she said at the time after being questioned if she was given a heads up that Sam had pashed other girls while on dates with them

On Friday Sam, 35, slammed the speculation and told the two radio host that he hasn't had any connect with Heather since the show wrapped up filming a few months ago. they love that slammed word dont they?

'That's not true. I haven't been speaking to Heather,' he told Jackie as she relayed the chat.
 
Daily Maily reminds me of show and tell from kindergarten. I can just picture a kid with a photo saying "Here's a photo. It's a photo of a lady. The lady is wearing a dress. The dress the lady is wearing is blue. Here's a picture of a lady in a dress. It's a blue dress." And that's pretty much a DM article.
 
I don't know if it's just me seeing things but Heather looks sad in those photos.
yes she does - or she's avoiding given any show of emotion to the papp in the hope he'll get bored and go away

mind you this hiatus between the end of filming and the finale broadcast of the show must be very difficult on Sam and the eventual winner. If that isn't Heather I hope the winner appreciates the crap Heather has had to put up with being photographed on a daily basis

And how does the lady look, children?"
"She looks sad."
"Very good children. Today's words are donned and sauntered, can any of you use them in a sentence?"
"The sad lady donned a white shirt and sauntered down the street?"
"Very good children, I'll just call the Daily Mail..."

Crumpled orange, polka dots, short sleeves and clashing ties: Bachelor host Osher Günsberg's shocking array of shirts
By DANIELLE GUSMAROLI FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

He likes to dress crisply when delivering unwanted news to anxious girls vying for Sam Wood's heart.

But Osher Günsberg, formerly known as Andrew G, has inadvertently drawn attention among keen-eyed Bachelor viewers for his dubious choice of shirts.

The usually sleek 41-year-old host has paraded a shocking wardrobe featuring a crumpled orange affair, an array of unsophisticated short sleeved tops, polka dots, feather prints and clashing ties.

On fire! Bachelor host Osher Günsberg has paraded a shocking wardrobe featuring a crumble bright orange shirt, polka dots and clashing ties

The furrow-browed presenter, who has been doing Sam's dirty work on the show, entering the wood-panelled room to tell lingering ladies they don't have a bloom, hasn't always made the sharpest sartorial decisions.

Whilst dressed to impressed in crisp suits, he has tended to opt for ties that clash with this shirts.

On one episode, he teams a lilac shirt with a darker shade of silk tie and, in another, opts for a polka dot tie against a pale khaki shirt that does little for his complexion.

Pale and pastel: Lilac against lilac raises eyebrows in the sartorial stakes

Whether the former Australian Idol host's new girlfriend, make-up artist Audrey Griffen, has any say on Osher's on-screen veneer is a matter for conjecture.

But it seems his irrepressible smile as he enjoys a resurrection in career lifts the mood whenever he appears, as if by magic, beside an often shirtless Bachelor.

In an episode where Heather goes on solo date with the gym owner, Osher stands out in a brilliant white shirt peppered with feathers.

at least give us a photo/screen shot in focus guys!!!

Dotty for dots: It seems the former Australian Idol host he likes his spots yes he does mon that host he likes dem spots

And when the girls went go-karting last week, he popped the champagne cork in short sleeves and polka dots.

His wardrobe is in stark contrast to muscle-bound Sam's who, if not semi-naked, if often dressed in tailored suits that fit like gloves.


When he bowled up an a boat entitled La Dolce Vita last week to pick up show frontrunner Snezana Markoski, he appeared in a smart linen suit and deck shoes.

yes she does - or she's avoiding given any show of emotion to the papp in the hope he'll get bored and go away

mind you this hiatus between the end of filming and the finale broadcast of the show must be very difficult on Sam and the eventual winner. If that isn't Heather I hope the winner appreciates the crap Heather has had to put up with being photographed on a daily basis

Right?? I actually feel really bad for her, especially if she doesn't win because she's probably not completely over the experience yet and being harassed would make it a lot worse.

Bet she can't wait for the show to finish airing so she's left alone.

Edit - Oh and now they're going after Osher's shirts lol. They have no shame...or clue about what makes a news worthy story apparently...
 
Who Wood-n't want that? Shirtless Bachelor star Sam flaunts his bulging biceps and sexy six pack after intense workout
By ALICIA VRAJLAL FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA


He's hinted he's found his dream woman while filming The Bachelor Australia.

And it seems Sam Wood is doing his best to keep in fine form for the lady in question as he awaits the finale to air in a few weeks' time.

The 35-year-old Melbourne-based personal trainer was recently spotted showing off his incredibly fit physique after a hot workout session.

Looking good: Sam Wood was recently spotted showing off his incredibly fit physique after a hot workout session

Nearing his car after training, the dark-haired stud was seen standing tall in all his shirtless glory, wearing simply a pair of navy shorts.

Sitting low below his waist, the reality star's shorts also revealed a cheeky glimpse of his white underwear.

Meanwhile his bulging biceps and sexy six pack rivalled each other for attention.

Flaunting it: The 35-year-old personal trainer's sexy sick pack was certainly on show for all to see

Time to put the shirt on: It looks like Sam had undergone quite the gruelling workout, and had shed the layers earlier on while sweating up a storm

It looks like Sam had undergone quite the gruelling workout, and had shed the layers earlier on while sweating up a storm.

It was time for him to put his navy T-shirt back on, and as he slipped the top over his head, he raised his muscular arms and did some extra, somewhat unintentional stretches.

Just who The Bachelor Sam ends up with, has become cause for much speculation as the series gets towards the pointy end.

Rippling abs: Nearing his car after training, the dark-haired stud was seen standing tall in all his shirtless glory, wearing simply a pair of navy shorts

2B96C6A900000578-3207521-image-a-66_1440291826882.jpg

Sporty attire: He was seen wearing a pair of Nike running shoes, perfect for a workout

And adding confusion to the watercooler conversation, on Friday morning Sam told the Kyle & Jackie O Show that he hasn't spoken to either of the 'front runners' Heather Maltman or Snezana Markoski.

His admission comes just weeks after Heather told the KIIS FM duo she got a heads up about her part-time beau's other on-screen kisses.

However, Sam says that was during filming, as the good friends talked about everything.
 
part 2 cos I hit the wrong damn button!!


part 2 in which we continue to watch Sam put on his tshirt frame by frame

2B96C40700000578-3207521-image-m-78_1440292138474.jpg

Cheeky: Sitting low below his waist, the reality stars shorts also revealed a cheeky glimpse of his white underwear

2B96C3EA00000578-3207521-image-m-79_1440292156463.jpg

Muscular arms: His bulging biceps were clearly visible to passers-by

'That's not true. I haven't been speaking to Heather,' he told Jackie 'O' Henderson as she relayed the previous chat with the aspiring filmmaker.

'I think what Heather meant by that is, she got a heads up in real time, during the filming,' Sam added.

'Because sometimes the girls would say "What happened on your date with so-and-so?" and I felt it was important to be honest with them, particularly girls I was close with,' he explained.


2B96C3EE00000578-3207521-image-m-80_1440292169643.jpg

What a sight: Usually only the bachelorettes who went on the hot beach dates would see Sam's sexy chest
2B96C3FE00000578-3207521-image-a-67_1440291934287.jpg

Puffed out? The star seemed a little flushed, which is understandable after what seemed like an intense workout

When asked if he had been in touch with the girl he ends up with, Sam became a little coy and talked around the issue, hinting he may not have ended up with any of the girls.

'IF, I was to have ended up with [one of] the girls, then yes, we have been in touch,' Sam clarified.

'Snez said that she hasn't been in contact with you since filming ended, so she's out,' Jackie pieced together.

2B96C6C100000578-3207521-image-a-68_1440291943865.jpg

Sex appeal: He sported his usual facial hair while his dark locks were a little dishevelled

There we go: It was time for him to put his navy T-shirt back on, and as he slipped the top over his head, he raised his muscular arms and did some extra, somewhat unintentional stretches

And The Bachelor is clearly enjoying the confusion he was creating, even revealing to the breakfast radio hosts that his friends have been left guessing, with each having different picks.

'Those three are definitely the Top 3 among my friends - probably most of them it's really strong Heather and Snez, it's probably 40/40 and then 20 per cent Sarah,' he revealed.

In an effort to test their responses, the radio hosts asked both women whether Sam gives them a heads up that he's kissed another contestant on the show, so that they can prepare themselves ahead of watching the episode.

2B96C6ED00000578-3207521-image-a-70_1440291953907.jpg

All done: His dark T-shirt hugged his muscular figure

'No, I have had no contact with Sam since the show ended, so there is no heads' up with us,' said single mother Snezana laughing.

Meanwhile, a few weeks prior Heather gave quite a different response.

'I did, yeah. Him [Sam] and I had actually very briefly, kind of talked about but, that's also because like I said we're really good friends.'

The differing responses left host Jackie O excitedly deducing 'he would only give the heads up to the girlfriend!'.

Spoiler? Front runner Snezana Markoski (L) says she hasn't spoken to The Bachelor since the show ended but rival Heather Maltman (R) made it seem that she has so totally ignoring what Sam said (see above in red) in explanation of what he thinks Heather meant

I wonder how they will react to the new intruders? I am sure that Emily will be most welcoming.

If it's anything like last year (I remember them all losing it and Sam Frost threatening to leave) it should be good lol.
