Like a certain other site that starts with a 'T' Their pictures are at least 5 years old and granny/fuzzy. Lots of emoticons and a 'i'm not here for hook ups' comment. The girls get to see him posing with dead fish or tranquillised tigers wearing a Bintang T-shirt and absolutely nothing written in his profile. They get to meet online via the app and he has to choose from the various profiles by swiping left or right. Then after he has swiped right on a'' of them ;) the women get to swipe left or right ..... After a few messages along the lines of 'hey' 'DTF' he gets to meet the lucky one woman who has taken her chances..... Or something along these lines.... : KH

Haven't seen the show and managed not to have seen an ad, so bear with me. Best place - is a morning, after NYE, 9am waiting in line for coffee and there is only one barista on. Wearing - disheveled mix of last night's clothes, last weeks clothes, and maybe the sunglasses borrowed from last night's lover. First test - how to handle waiting / others behaviour/ bad coffee. Think it would be rather telling

You swear you've never watched it? Are you a monk? Why do you deprive yourself? I've seen chocolate, I've heard about it.. but I've never partaken... honest. And please, this is Bachelor Australia - it's the sweet summer child to the hulking behemoth of producer demonics that is the USA version. Bachelor USA, multiple international locations, domestic dates on private jets... Bachelor Australia "drive yourself in a Corolla to a date in Penriff", for the big trip overseas I think Richie got an exciting flight on Scoot business - about as fancy a seat as Virgin domestic on an exit row. The contestants have to supply their own clothes and makeup, only the lead gets the full wardrobe treatment. Often girls will get their gowns loaned by some boutique in exchange for plugging it on their social media - though that has more draw on the USA version since the reach is SO much bigger. Now... if I were Bachelor (which could only be USA since Aussie has an age limit of 35 to apply - younger for women. Sophie Monk as the exclusion).... Sit down dinner party, multiple courses - the cutlery test. It'd be a bigger bloodbath than the Red Wedding.

I'm so sorry S to offended your sensibilities, I don't get commerical TV at my place, something to do with there being no appropriate plug / antenna, so I haven't had commerical TV for 6 years I've been here. I'm not even sure what I am missing these days. It's just me, Mr Black, Mr (chocolate?) Brown, ABC and my imagination (ok, and the internet)

Have to disagree ,watching the series I think last year when Hamish Blake went in and then talked about it in their fox radio show ,he said one whole floor in the house was. Dedicated to makeup artists and racks and racks of wardrobe ,he said it was like a process line getting the girls through , after that I began tonwatch carefully and notice a lot of similarities in the girls hair Styling And make up when it comes to the rose ceremony's - Posted from rhpmobile

The other night I was flicking through the channels and came across a group of pommies doing the beautiful ppl thing ... Obviously hand picked for the bodies and white teeth.. ( not that I have anything against that ) but talk about a load of artificial BS... Anyway , switched over again and came across Embarrassing Bodies another pommy show . What a contrast, from the lovely to real life at the flick of a channel lol...

Quoting 'boobs_or_bust' DIRTY STREET PIE!,lol haha, did you ever see the upmarket indoor removable clothes line she 'modeled' for? It was truly up there with the International Wool Jumper Model from Sam's B'ette season. I'm 80/40 certain that was one of the best lines ever, of any regional, spinoff, or mainline season. Quoting 'PepperRose' I'm so sorry S to offended your sensibilities, I don't get commerical TV at my place, something to do with there being no appropriate plug / antenna, so I haven't had commerical TV for 6 years I've been here. I'm not even sure what I am missing these days. It's just me, Mr Black, Mr (chocolate?) Brown, ABC and my imagination (ok, and the internet) well between those two Mr's I can see why you'd be distracted... that pair makes a delightful eyeful (or eye watering eyeful, in the latter's case) that tickles the imagination. I don't 'get' TV at home either - I don't even have the aerial plugged in, I automagically download all my TV. The only Aussie ad's I've seen in years are product placements. Closest to watching a TV broadcast is using the "live" option on TenPlay or 9Now apps.

Though the girls have said they'd help each other prepare, and there are usually makeup artists and hairdressing experience in the groups.

I have some friends who religiously watch it, I ruined it for them when I explained it's all staged and fake, most of the women are just on their for publicity and magazine articles. Even that farmer wants a wife seriously??? It's all an act and what they feed off is finding controversial people who can help get ratings. The guys or girls they pick are arrogant and self absorbed and the adds make it our he's lonely and looking for love. I think one series one of the contestants had a boyfriend and went on. I hate reality shows so much , they give this stupid unrealistic expectation and when it's a shock grown people believe it all. Sorry in a bad mood

a party with whole cast and crew. And he doesn't get to know which ones are actually contestants until the next day or some other time later. How do they find a dude to be the bachelor anyway. I don't watch either, but i've also seen the ads, and that guy hardly looks like he needs the help.

Quoting 'Meander' Thoughts on the "That dress is putrid" comment? Was Elizabeth really just talking about the mud on it, or was it a nasty dig? I'll happily allow either interpretation, I don't think the whole dress was putrid... but that fugly little skirt-ish thing at the middle was awful... putrid, if you will. It does seem like a little producer collusion that the two girls battling it out to be the Keira of the season are in the black and white versions of the dress. Leah is bleh, and I don't particularly care for Jen or her clavicle tattoo either. More upsetting than that, I've just realised that I booked a dinner during tonight's episode.

It was an ugly dress and the comment was definitely about the dress not the mud - she then went on to say she was 'just making social commentary' and didn't refer to the mud at all. And that whole Leah thing was cringe-worthy, particularly the ass hanging out the sides, although I guess that matched her classless personality. And the dress similarities were definitely no coincidence, I think. I thought there would be more of a catfight over that! I love The Bachelor but it looks like instead of the token 1 or 2 troublemakers this season they've gone with a quarter of them being nut bag air heads and another half being bitches. Only a few of them seem like genuinely nice, normal women and it looked like 2 of them got booted right away (sucks how the normal women get no air time because they don't make for interesting TV). It frustrates me when the bitches get let through just for the ratings. I was so hoping there'd be some women to really like and cheer for, like Matty J was last season. Does anyone else secretly wish they'd have a plot twist where they sit the bachelor down and let him watch what the girls are like to each other when he isn't in ear shot? Now back on topic to answer your question OP, I reckon a speed dating style first meet where the women dressed themselves and weren't glammed up in gowns would be fun. None of the drama, just first impressions without the gags/gifts of the first meets on the show. Miss Little xx

She was talking about the dress, not the mud - was a poor attempt to cover her butt. Last night's show epitomises all the stuff I hate about how women treat each other, and how glorified that crap is by society/media. I actually found it hard to watch

Quoting 'Meander' Everything Ms Little said! I'd love footage of the bachelor watching the women when they don't know he can see them act like evil bitches, but I don't think the producers would dare.Could you imagine if Matty decided he hated them all before the first week was through? And yeah, Betty, some of the crap those women pulled made me feel quite awful. Not a chance they'd ever do it but God how good would it be to watch?!?! Matty J is so damn sweet he'd be shocked I reckon. But I don't think he'd hate them all - at least a few of them obviously didn't get in on the cattiness! It just means that the two that got booted probably would've stayed as they mustn't have participated given the lack of air time they received... Miss Little xx

Thanks to you all.....loving the commentary on last night's opening show!! I think updates and comments on every show is an awesome idea! What did I think.......crapola, where do I start? Hmmm...why not with that word I just used....crapola. 🤣 Behaviours from an adult women which were more suited to a high school scrag fight.....dresses that we questionable in their style and certainly not to my taste, airheads everywhere, putrid comments (😉), vacuous Bachelor who will get eaten alive - and not in a pleasurable way, OTT set design....you get the picture. I will attempt to watch tonight......but I'm not sure if I have the energy and enough alcohol 😎 But on a positive note, yes there were plenty of laughs...of the 'laughing at you' kind 😁

Quoting 'Meander'Could you imagine if Matty decided he hated them all before the first week was through? that's what happened with Bachelor NZ Season 2, the lead decided he wasn't going to be in a long term thing with any of the girls - but, what do you do? Shut down the whole season? So, he went through with the season and it was truly craptacular. Usually they pick the lead picks his top 4 ASAP and then the rest are fodder for production, realistically you'd probably only connect with that many anyway - the only time I know of an outside chance making it into the top is when Catherine won Sean Lowe's season (Bachelor US) which he's said she wasn't on the radar till late in the season then shot to the top.

It's like they thought "It's unlikely we'll win the final rose, and the next Bachelorette role is already stitched up - but you can control being a bitch". Act a bit bitchy, get some air time, then get a Woman's Day article on the tragic tale of how you were bullied on the internet, maybe even a redemption article on that awful mamamia.

In this day and age when we have so much information and news coming at us from all directions - let's face it a lot of it very depressing and worrying - and when we lead such stressful lives with so many demands, I don't see a problem with people taking an hour or two to do or watch something that takes no brain power and provides some laughs and stress relief. Sure, those who only watch this sort of thing and who take it all really seriously aren't my sort of people either, but as a temporary switch off from the often shitty world we live in before getting back to serious matters, there's a lot worse that people could be doing.

Once you jump down the rabbit hole and enter the world of dissecting the producer interference and editing tricks it's even more interesting - the ITM (in the moment) talking head interviews shown out of sequence and location; or the Frankenstein soundbites of words pieced together to make sentences... meta-Bachelor is better than The Bachelor. The live discussion on twitter or other forums makes it eleventy billion times better, it's frequently more interesting than the show itself.

All good, like I said I don't watch it either. There's very little reality TV that appeals to me. But, I watch / do some things as a form of escapism that I know others would hate / find shit boring / possibly be a little disturbed by, so I'm not going to judge people solely on their escapism viewing habits.

S quoted a small part of my comment, I was actually defending the mindless escapism Bachelor watchers Sounds like a few people aren't liking it this season. I think there's always a fine line with those sort of shows, obviously they know that people watch it partly for the conflict / bitchiness / drama, but if you go too far it can just turn people off.

Totally agree about the nastiness! Far too many super bitches in there this year. I enjoy watching the dates though and the cute comedic bits of it. It does seem like they cast solely for drama and ratings this year rather than actually decent women. There are only a few of them in there from what I can see...Obviously they need people that make it interesting but it's overkill this season.

Quoting 'Luck_Dragon' You know what I meant....don't worry, you're still my sort of people If I could post the meme of the serious looking baby pumping his fist, I would Quoting 'boobs_or_bust' Haven't got the time for that ,but how bout a exspediated view of some of the bits you talk of ,give me a couple of wtf, that was sneaky , I didn't know that moments ,lol google "alltheprettypandas bachelorette13 episode9" and it'll give former contestant Sharleen Joynt's article, shes amazing at spotting them, one that sticks out was Nick's season, google "alltheprettypandas bachelor21 episode1, and the frankenbite using "we had sex" spliced into sentences.

Quoting 'LittleGiant' So sad i'm behind here and can't watch and participate in the live discussions on this, I actively avoid social media until I have had a chance to watch it (usually on lunch the next day LOL!). I don't care what anyone says about it being mindless drivel, I bloody love it! So entertaining! Don't tell me you all only sit down and read the classics and watch documentaries? Being so intellectual and high brow all the time must be so so tedious No but seriously, a bit of escapism is wonderful! have you watched this season of Bachelorette (USA) with Rachel? Watch the finale, it doesn't even need the backstory to get the emotion across on the runner up's breakup, it is one of the best and the worst live finale's I've ever seen. So much _heartbreak_, and such an attempted hatchet job and meteoric fall from grace, all in one episode. It was spectacular.

If that's what it is, that's a huge beat up - but that's nothing new I guess i.e. mountain out of a molehill. The articles on the 4 or 5 girls (how many is it now?!) that were topless waitresses have made me roll my eyes every time and the nasty way people comment on them makes me so sad. Anyway, I'm wondering if it is something to do with her not wanting a serious relationship or not wanting to have kids or some deal breaker like that. I'll be glad to see when Leah and Jen both get the axe though. Miss Little xx

The series into its last hurrahs...thank fuck for that 🤣 I have a young person in the house tonight, who watched the first two episodes with me.....and they sucked me back into the vortex tonight. We only watched the last 20 minutes, but that was enough. Gawd....how pissed off was the chick who was booted tonight?! I swear I saw steam issuing from her ears. Mind you, it was probably her dress which was the deciding factor for wimpo Matt.....a nasty Glomesh rip off, split up the front to her vajayjay and her crippled by either the dress or her shoes...or both 😎 So who is going to win? What flippin awful outfits are we going to be subjected to? How many lurid blue suits does Matt own? Do any of us care? 😂

MsJonesy, seems on the women's mouth at the office. Lol. Good coffee room fodder today. no mention of dresses though. Yet. I'm not sure who the women are and have not followed the series. But they are putting on a bet with the odds on 'Lara ' to win. Lol. I'm putting in $2 on this mare too as the girls seem to know what they are talking about. I've seen ads for the Batchelorette. It's Sophie Monk. Now that would be interesting and a good laugh. I've heard her on radio a while back a couple of times. She's outrageous and out there. She seem to lack filter then 😱so it will be interesting what comes out of her mouth.😁

I like Sophie Monk, probably because everyone picks on her. I kind of liken her to Jackie Lambie in that some of her comments are cringeworthy but yet I admire her spirit, it has a fearless honesty.
