doesn't he live right there though?
Yes. Convenient lol.
I mean, he probably just went for a swim, just the words on there were making me vom. Like him "emerging flawlessly from the water". Gag.

That is an interesting question doing the rounds of Brisbane gossip. I know a few people who know Michael and I know a few who have met Michael on the piss since the season started. I personally believe he lives near South Bank and although the apartment from his home date was owned by a friend, I don't think he lives that far away. But, yeah, no adult person 'swims' at Southbank

EXCLUSIVE: Look away now Sam Frost! The Bachelorette's Sasha Mielczarek's stunning ex-fiancée revealed… who is the spitting image of her cousin Laura Dundovic
By AMY CROFFEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Sasha Mielczarek and Sam Frost bonded on The Bachelorette over the heartbreak of their previous broken engagements.
And while Sam's ex, aka 'love rat' Blake Garvey is well known, Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal Sasha's former wife-to-be.
Martina Males and the construction manager were once set to be wed, but the engagement was called off after two years together and they no longer communicate.

Stunners! The blonde beauty could easily be mistaken for her first cousin and former Miss Universe Australia, Laura Dundovic
'I was engaged to Sasha but it was some time ago,' Martina told DMA on Monday but declined to comment further on their broken relationship.
The blonde beauty could easily be mistaken for her first cousin and former Miss Universe Australia, Laura Dundovic, 28.
It's difficult to tell the pair apart with as they both sport similar blonde luscious locks, high cheekbones and killer smiles.
The businesswoman is not just a pretty face, and just like her cousin, she too is of Croatian decent and can speak the native tongue 'proficiently'. great to know she's decent!!! geeez !!!!
Martina resides in Australia's capital Canberra where she works as group marketing manager for property company, Doma Group.

'I was engaged to Sasha but it was some time ago': Martina told DMA on Monday
The 30-year-old construction manager, a bikie's son from NSW's Bowral, opened up to TV Week recently about his relationship with Martina.
'We were two different people,' he revealed, adding: 'When two people don't end up being compatible, you've got to figure out when to call it a day.'
But he made it clear that there was no bad blood between the two, insisting: 'I still have nice things to say about her... but, I don't speak to her anymore.'
Meanwhile, Sasha has been open with Sam Frost about his previous engagement.

'We were two different people': Sasha revealed the reason they split

Get a room! Sasha and Sam can barely keep their hands - or mouths - off each other on the Network Ten reality dating show
On Sam and Sasha's first steamy tango date, the suitor spoke about Martina: 'I've had girlfriends like all of us, I've been engaged before... We were together for about two years.
'I've basically only had one girlfriend since then and it's hard, you know, you meet heaps of people but it's hard to meet people on the same page as you,' he said.
The revelation didn't deter Sam, who was last year proposed to and then jilted by The Bachelor Blake, who then ran off with second runner-up with Louise Pillidge just a few short weeks later.
And this is also not the first connection Laura Dundovic has with Network Ten reality dating shows.
Her best friend Lana Jeavons Fellows, 27, made it to the final two on season three of The Bachelor but was dumped by Sam Wood, 35, for Snezana Markoski, 35.

Three degrees of separation: It's not the first connection Laura Dundovic has with Network Ten reality dating shows, as she's also best friends with Lana Jeavons Fellows, who was dumped by The Bachelor Sam Wood
that photo of Sam and Sasha's kiss sums up the Iguana.
so that wasn't actually his parent's "home" ?
its just all so manufactured and fake when it comes to home visits ...
I can 100% confirm it wasn't his parents home. My Brisbane gossip was definite on this account. No drunkeness involved
Dave is on Have You Been Paying Attention and I'm tempted to stop the divorce.

He was quite cute on that yes.
Nobody offered their manky shoe to drink from thankfully.
I could have sworn Sam said "Michael's very close to his parents - he even lives across the road from their apartment"
and his dad said she could come back any time for a visit - even without Michael ... nice - come back and visit - we won't be here .. but come anyway!
so did he not even let her know that that wasn't their real home?

I think the speculation is all of the homes are fakes - like in MKR. I only know Michael's is fake because of #brusbanegossip - I assume he is not alone. This is like the Dave being a lad thing - I thought everyone knew this. There are a lot of apartments around that area - it's not necessarily Muchael is lying, they just live elsewhere

I recognised where Michael's parents 'lived' instantly. They entered the lobby of the Mantra hotel on Grey St. So I highly doubt it's where they actually live unless they enjoy the suite life. Michael does actually live across the street though so that was kinda a half truth.

I want those shoes.Don't sweat it! Michael Turnbull shows off his muscular torso as he does push-ups and stretches on the beach just days before The Bachelorette finale
By KARISHMA SARKARI FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
He may be a former soccer star but it seems The Bachelorette's Michael Turnbull still works hard to stay in shape.
The professional athlete-turned-reality TV star was seen at Brisbane Beach Pool last week putting in a quick work out on the soft sand before getting into the water for a swim.
Taking the opportunity to tan while out in the sunshine, the 34-year-old was shirtless as he did push-ups on the man-made beach.

So that's how he stays in shape! The Bachelorette Australia star Michael Turnbull enjoyed a workout at Brisbane Beach Pool last week, doing push-ups on the sand before going for a swim
Wearing bright blue board shorts, the hunky businessman followed up his brief work out with a stretching session.
As he released his hip-flexes and rib cage, the brown-haired spunk flaunted his large dragon tattoo across the side of his lean body.
Stretching out his arms, the former footballer also showcased his full sleeve of ink.

Showing off his taut torso, the reality TV star mixed a bit of work with pleasure, smiling broadly as he chatted away on the phone while stretching out in a wide stance.
Michael slowly made his way into the cold water, going only ankle deep at first before venturing into the clear waters further.
Once knee deep, he proceeded to stretch further, grabbing his ankle to his backside to stretch out his quads.

The former soccer player, who cites representing his country as his greatest career achievement, then dried off with a green and gold Australia towel.

I will be shocked if he is not the one at the end, won't get to watch till Friday so no social media for me from Thursday night!
I'm happy for Sash to win but I'm not counting my chickens after the whole Heather thing ... production can edit it so we DON'T see anything special between her and the others until the last minute ... so who knowsis anyone actually contemplating anyone but sasha wins at this point? to me he has it in the bag and has from day 1.

At this point I prefer Sash and Ritchie over Michael ... but ... well ... the heart knows what the heart wants (quoting Dave) lol
good luck with resisting all SM until Friday


Are Michael and Richie Sam Frost's final two? Bachelorette canoodles with pair in New Zealand hot springs and ski resorts after it's confirmed that only two go for finale... but Sasha's only seen in Sydney
ByJENNIFER SMITH FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
PUBLISHED:12:28 EST, 20 October 2015|UPDATED:12:47 EST, 20 October 2015
She's remained tight-lipped about her new man's identity, even creating a pseudonym for her beau to stop her from letting his name slip.
But as The Bachelorette finale draws nearer, old teasers for the show may have inadvertently revealed who out of the three remaining contestants could win Sam Frost's heart.
With the news emerging earlier this week that Sam whisked her two finalists off to New Zealand for their last dates, attention turned to footage of the beauty with Michael Turnbull and Richie Strahan in the area.
Heating up: Sam Frost and Michael Turnbull were seen enjoying a date in a thermal hot spring in a teaser for the show aired before its premiere. Daily Mail Australia can now reveal the date took place in New Zealand, where Michael was one of two finalists
In promotional videos for the show that were aired before its premiere in September, Sam is seen in a hot spring with footballer Michael and taking a chopper to a snowy mountainside with Richie.
Daily Mail Australia can confirm that the setting of her date with Michael was at the Polynesian Spa in New Zealand's Rotorua, with producers descending on the site to film scenes in July.
Clues: The pretty brunette is also seen enjoying a plane ride in the back of a small aircraft with the footballer
In another clip, Michael and Sam are seen enjoying a picnic before being flown in a small aircraft, sitting hand-in-hand in the backseat.
It suggests the 34-year-old was taken to Waiheke Island, the second largest in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf, which can only be reached by small plane or ferry.
Meanwhile Richie Strahan is seen frolicking with the pretty brunette on a snowy mountain, the pair clad in ski-wear as they arrive at the beauty spot by helicopter.
Snow bunnies: Richie and the beauty are seen frolicking in the snow, prompting speculation they visited one of New Zealand's ski resorts
In a later solo interview, the 30-year-old gushed: 'Looking out of the chopper and just seeing all of the snow, I just couldn't believe it, it was just like out of the movies.'
New Zealand is popular skiing destination with heavy snowfall in July - when the scenes were filmed. It.
Meanwhile Sasha Mielzcarek, previously the front-runner to win the show, only appears to be seen in one date, filmed in Australia.
On home turf: Meanwhile former front-runner Sasha appears in just one clip where he is seen skydiving in Sydney
Competition: The three men appear in an emotional rose ceremony at The Bachelorette mansion in Wednesday's episode before the final two jet to New Zealand
Torn apart: Sam, 26, tears up as she is forced to send one of the men home ahead of the finale on Thursday
Filmed as he jumps out of a plane, the construction manager wears a Sydney Skydivers eye-guard.
Their aircraft bears the same brand name, leading to speculation that Sasha is eliminated in a teary final rose ceremony in Australia before the crew is whisked to New Zealand.
It comes after tourism bosses confirmed the final two men visited the country with Sam earlier this week.
The Bachelorette continues on Network Ten on Wednesday at 7.30pm.
Tense: The brunette sports heavy eye make-up and glittering earrings to make her final decision on Thursday
- wow

At this point in time I have my thoughts on who would win, but that conflicts with a 'spoiler' earlier on saying that they didn't lol. At this point it could be anyone in my mind and I'm trying not to look at any other spoilers.
I feel for you, it's going to be hard for me to avoid social media for an hour much less a night.
