The Bachelorette 2017

[Mr Stickyfingers]

no such thing as too much content. post away i say.

...^^^^ what reepbot said X2... cheers.

 

[Isee]

I may have a controversial point of view but I don't think stu has too much baggage. He is 44. You will never find a guy of that age that has not had at least one long term relationship (or if you do you should possibly be more concerned about why they haven't) and kids are going to be a reality too. If Sophie is really serious about finding Mr right then guys she will have met off the show are likely to have similar backgrounds. I had a friend who got together with a man who had two ex wives and two children to two other gf he had had between wives. Now that is too much baggage!!!!

My concern is not specifically with the fact that he was married and that he has kids, but more that he's been separated 4 years and the divorce is still not final. This indicates complications... I really hope the rumours (that the reason the divorce is taking so long is because he's dragging his feet in hopes of reconciling with his wife) are not true.

I wonder if its because there was hope of reconciliation or because there was financial gains she wanted from the family money that he or he family were fighting against? If there was no pre nup then she could have been trying to get a lot of money out of him.

Bachelorette bad boy Blake’s sickening street attack

Almost two years later, Colman pleaded guilty and was given a fine and ordered to pay Cooper compensation — money the financial controller says he is yet to receive.

Not quoting the whole article but I'm seriously so disgusted by this... what is wrong with our legal system? You can injure someone so horrifically and get away with a measly fine? As far as I'm concerned this deserves jail time. I feel like a lot of the times it's like, "eh, as long as no one dies, no one needs to get locked up!" which I think is just not good enough.

Yes that's the other possibility... which is a "better" possibility... but still not a good one as it is still a complication! But yeah I would rather that the delay in divorce is due to sorting out the finance stuff. If Stu does end up with Sophie it better be true love and not just a rebound!

How about the rumour about him seeing someone else while Sophie was overseas? Disgusting.

I put as much faith in that in the stories that say she is married or pregnant already. Besides he may not be the winner so if he was seeing someone else it wouldn't be cheating! He surely would not be so dumb as to be sneaking round cheating knowing the paparazzi are snooping them at the moment though.

BACHELORETTE MAN-GOD APOLLO IS RELEASING A SONG & WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO FEEL
BY TARA WATSON

He’s lit up our television screens on The Bachelorette, but now series heartthrob Apollo is hoping to kick off a music career. Today his website shared the news that he has a debut single on the way. Yes, this show has sucked us into some weird dimension and we are on the darkest timeline.

The song called ‘Addiction‘ will be released via iTunes soon and if the cover art is anything to go by, we could be in for a cheesy summer banger. With the aviator sunnies and neon text, it’s very 2006 European DJ inspired, we guess? Watch out Tiesto.

Here’s the inspired single art:

After calling himself a magician on the reality series, it came to a surprise that Apollo made music.

In his bio Apollo claims he is a: “Combination of an Extreme Athlete, Stuntman, Escape Artist, Music Artist and world-renowned Magician.” What exactly is a music artist is anyone’s guess?

Either way, we are KEEN and look forward to hearing Apollo bring magic to our ears.

Here is Apollo's website.

[crimmy]

so he’s in this for all the right reasons ... for himself

who had ever heard of him before this show?

 

[Meglos]

Yeah it's disappointing, because he's otherwise nice. Didn't Sophie say she didn't want a famewhore (my words, not hers) who wanted to use her to get famous? So that rules Apollo out. I don't think the other two are after fame, but they are not good choices either.

 

[davidftw]

"The next evolution in the world of magic"? What, because he's muscly? Sit down dude.

Stu's chances get better by the day. You know, Sophie might make Bachelorette history worldwide, for choosing a MARRIED MAN to get the final rose. The producers should take a long hard look at themselves for even allowing this guy on the show. I know it's gossip worthy, but ultimately it is morally and ethically wrong.

 

[crimmy]

I guess one good thing about the Daily Fail is if you are a photographer - just hold the button down - take a gazillion shots of the same thing and you can sell the lot to them - easy money!!!
<at least we can all be thankful Stu's not of the Budgie Smuggler brigade!!>


Taking it ALL in! Bachelorette favourite and father of four Stu Laundy, 44, shows off his dad bod pool-side while on holiday on the Gold Coast

He's tipped to be the suitor who ultimately captures Sophie Monk's affections in The Bachelorette.

And as he enjoyed time on the Gold Coast earlier this month, Stu Laundy, 44, may be the man who has won the 37-year-old over.

Pictured showing off his body in just a towel, the millionaire publican looked happy and relaxed ahead of the dating show's finale on Thursday night.

Daring to bare! Rumoured Bachelorette winner Stu Laundy (pictured) stripped off for a dip in the pool during a lavish getaway to the Gold Coast earlier this month

With a dark-coloured towel covering the lower half of his body, Stu de-stressed at the lavish Palazzo Versace pool in Sophie's hometown.

His chest was on display as he stripped off to a pair of red and navy shorts to enter the water.

The father-of-four made sure his modesty was kept covered (who writes this $h!t!!!) and at several points could be seen adjusting his board shorts. (yeah well when you suck your gut in your boardies fall down - go figure!!!)

Headline-grabbing: Stu, who shot to fame thanks to his turn on the popular reality show, has been a fixture in the tabloid lately thanks to rumours of a new romance

New fling: The wealthy businessman is rumoured to have sparked a relationship with Sydney socialite Tiffany Tilley

Stu, who shot to fame thanks to his turn on the popular reality show, has been a fixture in the headlines lately thanks to rumours of a new romance.

Despite being rumoured to win The Bachelorette, Stu has been linked to Sydney socialite Tiffany Tilley, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Stu told Daily Mail Australia. 'I have never met the woman. The claims are outrageous.'

The glamorous blonde is said to have separated from her property developer husband Ben Tilley earlier this year.

When photographers asked Sophie about the rumours earlier this week, she looked shocked as she responded: 'I don't know Tiffany Tilley'.

Drying off: Stu dried himself off with the towel

Haven't told Sophie? The former Bardot singer appeared shocked when she was asked about the rumours of Stu's new romance and said she didn't know Tiffany

Also on Tuesday, photos came to light of Stu enjoying a cosy lunch with another stunning blonde.

However, the reality TV star told Daily Mail Australia that the woman was Kate Adamo, the wife of a school friend Dan.

This week, Stu will go head to head against vineyard owner Jarrod Woodgate and magician Apollo Jackson in the trio's last-ditch efforts to win over Sophie on The Bachelorette.

question - where is Sophie? Gold Coast or Sydney?
I thought she was hanging in Sydney with Oscar - so then why is Stu up in Gold Coast - trying to make it look like he's won by being in her territory?

The 24-year-old previously revealed he lost half his body weight after suffering a heart attack at age 22, previously tipping the scales at 150kg.

'I went through a period where I was crazy stressed, so I ended up overweight,' Apollo told NW Magazine.

'I put on 40 kilos, weighing 150kg, was mega-stressed, not happy and went through a bit of depression. Then I had a heart attack.'

this is old news - but mentions Stu separating "recently"
love how they make out Kelly was on the boat with Stu but he's not in any of the pics with them on the boat? and the pic of him - he's not exactly dressed for a relaxed day on the water ...
also love how someone only recently separated is straight away deemed an eligible bachelor ...
at this point supposedly he was heartbroken and hoping they would reconcile ...

IT’S not all work and no play for Kelly Osbourne, who took time out from her Australia’s Got Talent duties to do a little cruising yesterday with one of Sydney’s most eligible bachelors.

The US reality star was spotted at Woolloomooloo wharf yesterday boarding a luxury superyacht owned by pub baron Stuart Laundy.

Laundy, whose family owns more than 30 pubs and hotels throughout Sydney including the recently acquired Woolwich Pier Hotel and Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel, is rarely seen out on the social scene unlike his hotelier counterpart Justin Hemmes.

It’s understood 42-year-old Laundy, who grew up in Strathfield and now lives in the eastern suburbs, recently separated from his wife.

Lilac-haired Osbourne was also joined by fellow AGT judge Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson on the afternoon cruise on Laundy’s luxury boat Waltzing Matilda, which boasts a jacuzzi and four bedrooms.

Osbourne and Dickson seemed relaxed and happy as they mingled with the other guests as the boat departed and cruised around Sydney Harbour.

Could this mean Stu comes SECOND? The Bachelorette's Laundy goes on an Aquarium date with Sophie Monk during finale... just like Sam Frost and her runner-up Michael Turnbull

From wardrobe choices to musical soundtracks- there's no denying Channel 10's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have a habit of recycling content.

And a familiar-looking date may be the key to who win's Sophie Monk's heart during The Bachelorette's grand finale this Wednesday.

In the upcoming episode, Sophie and Stu Laundy embark upon an almost identical aquarium-based date to that of 2015 Bachelorette Sam Frost and her runner-up Michael Turnbull.

In sneak peek footage of Sophie and Stu's date, the pair are seen embracing inside a dimly-lit aquarium with an expansive fish-tank in the background.

The scene could easily be mistaken for Sam's 2015 date with Michael at Sydney Aquarium, during which the former footballer professed his love for the bubbly brunette.

The similarity between the two dates has prompted some fans to speculate whether Stu, who has been hotly tipped to win the competition, will befall the same fate as Michael and come runner-up in the competition.

Despite the rumours, Stu has been adamant that he isn't dating Tiffany- telling Daily Mail Australia: 'I have never met the woman. The claims are outrageous.'

Stu knew has was being photographed, he's sucking in the tummy so badly. I can empathise
