The Bachelorette Australia 2016

Oh Matty J you beautiful sweet human. You've wormed your way into my cold old heart lol.

He and Cameron are the nicest most genuine guys I think I've seen on one of these shows.

I do like Lee too however I want to see more of what he's really feeling.

Jake to me is just... there. Generic? I don't get the appeal, physically or otherwise. Nice enough though?

Courtney still just gives me bad vibes.
 
I think Jake, Matty J and Cameron are the final 3.
Supposedly Lee was in a photo with Tully and her friends a week or so ago, and DM had an article with Courtney and a TV actress going for a bike ride to the beach (could be just good friends though)
Does Georgia live in Tasmania or Melbourne now. Do her parents ie sick mum live in Melbourne? Georgia recently said she'd only seen the winner once since the finale...

I'd like to see Matty J or Cameron win, although happy enough with the remaining guys, except Courtney.

He was confronted by Georgia Love after he essentially forfeit a contestant to win time alone with her, leaving The Bachelorette deeply offended.

But it seems that wasn't enough to shake Courtney Dober, who seemingly stuffed up another chance at alone time with the leading lady on their group date during Thursday night's episode.

Cameron, Lee, Courtney and Jake were tasked with putting their hearts on their sleeves during love letter challenge, as part of a series of tasks to test if 'love is blind'.

Self sabotage? Courtney Dober seemingly stuffed up another chance at alone time with Georgia Love on their group date during Thursday night's episode of The Bachelorette

The industrial designer claimed to have writer's block and instead of penning a heart-felt letter or confessions of love, he jotted down a short poem.

Embarrassed on hearing the other boys' words as they were all read out loud by each other, he admitted his was only 'one fifth the length' and felt bad.


When it came for one of the bachelors to be eliminated, while the others progressed through to the last round, Courtney was the one sent home from the date.

When host Osher Gunsberg asked which one she connected with the least, she was careful not to offend any of the boys, stating: 'I will say, and only because it didn't get as in-depth as the others was the one that Lee read.'

Looks vs personality: The writing challenge was part of a series of challenges on the group date to see who Georgia preferred when the boys good looks were taken out of the picture

Owning up to his love letter, Courntey took his envelope and waved goodbye to Georgia, who didn't seem to mind letting him go on this occasion.

The writing challenge was part of a series of challenges on the group date to see who Georgia preferred when the boys good looks were taken out of the picture.



The first challenge saw the boys speaking in the ear of senior citizens who had five minutes to impress the brunette beauty in a speed date challenge on their behalf.


The humorous speed date saw the boys whispering compliments and asking the elderly men to hold Georgia's hand and brush her hair from her face.

Cameron described himself as a 'very affectionate boyfriend' before the challenge moved onto Jake who also asked his replacement to move her hair from her face and stroke her hand.

While Lee, took the approach to use humour as a way to connect with Georgia, asking her to feel his replacements Jacket sleeve and telling her it was made from 'boyfriend material.'

Next is when the boys put their emotions on paper, writing intimate love letters to Georgia.

The final challenge saw Lee, Cameron and Jake dance cheek-to-cheek with the 27-year-old.

Cameron, who was the ultimate victor, got to spend some quality time with Georgia at the end of the challenge, impressing her with his 'affectionate' side.

All smiles: Georgia was taken aback by the letter written by Jake which showed his most intimate secrets about her revealed

Having lost yet another challenge to spend time alone with Georgia, Courtney confessed at the cocktail party that he may come off as being 'disinterested'.

'I am, you know, someone who's not overly emotional and affectionate and all the rest of it.

'I hope she doesn't receive that as being disinterested, 'cause, you know, I'm not.'


Despite his poor effort in the group challenge, Georgia granted Courtney his wish and won him a little more time to impress the reality starlet by giving him a rose.

This isn't the first time Courtney failed to impress Georgia, who confronted Courtney about feeling 'totally humiliated' during a medieval group date.

'All of these guys have made an effort and then Courtney couldn't have cared less. How embarrassing,' she told the camera when he walked through a gauntlet on purpose to lose a challenge.

Previously, he also handed over alone time after a group date to Tommy, who won the billy cart challenge and was yet to spend time with the Bachelorette.

His move confused and embarrassed Georgia, who thought he wasn't picking up the same vibe she was feeling.

Courtney Dober 30 Sydney, New South Wales Industrial Designer
Jake Ellis 30 Brisbane, Queensland Sales Professional
Lee Elliott 35 Melbourne, Victoria Mechanical Plumber
Matty Johnson 28 Sydney, New South Wales Marketing Manager

Just found this on wiki. I wonder if Courtney has told Georgia that he has done tv presenting/interviews with local celebs, maybe he's there for similar reasons as Sam, but maybe its something that she could relate to herself workwise?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bachelorette_(Australia_season_2)
 
I think by the look in her eyes when Jake read out his letter personally at the cocktail party, she was really disappointed that that wasn't in fact Courtney's letter, and also that she is no longer as into Jake as she first was. So I expect he'll go next.

I'd like to know what Courtney's game is. Is he just conflicted about his sexual preferences, or is he there for Sam-like reasons only and hiding his lack of genuine interest. It just seems cruel to be on a show where a woman is searching for love (or to raise her profile for her TV career, who the hell knows) and not actually be into women all that much.

Lee is very pretty! I am looking forward to more of this series because of Matty J, Cam, and Lee - who actually seem sincere and fairly decent guys. I hope everyone is not just there to raise their fecking profiles.

'God awful': The Bachelorette boy band grooves their way into Georgia Love's heart... but Lee Elliott's vocals aren't quite up to scratch

With five contestants left in the running for Georgia Love's heart, it's every man for himself.

But on next week's episode of The Bachelorette, the remaining hunks will need to work together to record a debut single as a boy band in a bid to woo the 28-year-old beauty.

And despite his good looks, 35-year-old Lee Elliott appears to struggle in the musical challenge with his self-confessed 'god awful' singing voice.

'Lee sounds like, if you run your fingers down a blackboard slowly,' Matty J, 28, said of the mechanical plumber's vocals in a promo clip for next week.


Meanwhile, Lee has no illusions about his own musical prowess, admitting to the camera: 'I've heard myself sing and I'm god awful.'

It appears the challenge may also be daunting for bashful Courtney Dober, who revealed he was 'not very confident' going into the recording studio.

Marketing manager Matty meanwhile, managed to make Georgia giggle with his cheesy lyrics.

'From the moment you entered my life. Just one hope, we'd be husband and wife,' he rehearsed in front of the Hobart native.

Despite embarrassing himself during the group date, it appears Lee still won a second single date with Georgia.

But it didn't quite go to plan, with the tradesman dropping his partner onto the ground.

'I hope the person that Georgia picks has Georgia's best interests at heart.'

He added: 'I hope that he treats her with the respect and admiration that she deserves'.

'Watching my story with my guy is amazing!' Georgia Love confirms she has found Mr. Right on The Bachelorette... and says she enjoys hearing what he REALLY thinks of her

She traded in her career as a television news journalist to become a reality TV star in a bid to find true love.

And it turns out that Georgia Love's romantic risk has been a success, with the brunette confirming that not only did she find 'The One' on The Bachelorette, but that she and her new man even watch the show together as it airs.



'Watching my story with my guy is amazing,' the 27-year-old gushed to The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.

The ex-anchorwoman continued: 'Seeing it progress and hearing what's he's saying when I'm not there — I'm loving it so much.'


It's still unclear just which lucky fella wins Georgia's heart at the end of the series, but frontrunners so far include the chiseled Lee Elliott and lovable fireman Cameron Cranley.

Georgia opened up about the pair to The Daily Telegraph, telling the publication that Cam's happy and positive presence has attracted her to him.

Is he the one? While it's still unclear just who wins the show, Georgia has admitted that she loves Cameron Cranley's positive and happy attitude



As for Lee, 35, she expressed her concern about their eight-year age difference, revealing that she isn't quite ready to settle down and have kids just yet.

Freelance TV host Courtney Dober was initially considered a frontrunner, but after photos of him spending time with Here Come The Habibs star Georgia Flood surfaced, fans speculated that he may not have made it to the end of the show.

Other bachelors left include Jake Ellis, who has been spotted kissing Bachelorette Georgia on the Gold Coast in paparazzi photos.

Not ready: The 27-year-old reality star has admitted that she's concerned that Lee Elliott, 35, might be ready to settle down and have kids due to his age - which is something she isn't ready for just yet

Matty J has also been tipped to go far after fans noticed his growing chemistry and connection with Georgia.

Last week, a total of five bachelors were sent him.

Male models Rhys Chilton and Sam Johnston were kicked to the curb after a disastrous double date, followed by intruder Todd Jesson, Matt Dunne, and Clancy Ryan.
