There are only five women left on The Golden Bachelor Australia, and it’s possible that the winner has leaked before the finale has even aired.
The show’s leading man, Barry “Bear” Myrden, initially met 20 women in the hopes of finding love after losing his wife, Audrey.
As the show has progressed, fans have been eager to know who wins his heart, and we might already have the answer.
Find out what we know below.
Who wins The Golden Bachelor Australia?
We don’t know yet, but there is one contender who might make it all the way.
NSW CEO Sunny Long certainly made an impression on Bear with her gold lesson on the red carpet, and the pair’s connection has increased ever since.
And perhaps one telling clue is pointing to the fact that she’s the winner.
If you look at this group photo below, she is wearing a gold dress, which replicates the gold of the show. Coincidence? We will find out.
Not only that, former contestant Bianca Dye also exclusively told New Idea that she thought the 58-year-old was a contender.
Watching the show back, she noticed the strength of their connection.
“That was a bit of a surprise for me because she’s such a bubbly ray of sunshine and he’s this quiet sort, not in a bad way,” she said. “He’s very calming and very thoughtful and he’s very grounded. So maybe the yin and the yang of those two. Maybe that’s what attracts him, to someone like Sunny with that sort of bubbly personality. Maybe, she really sort of lifts him up.”
Throughout the inaugural season, Sunny has been posting about her experience on Instagram.
On October 27, she posted a picture of herself with a teddy bear. Does this mean she makes it all the way to the end? We will have to wait and see!
When it comes to reality dating shows, social media is always a telling sign. At the time of publication, neither Sunny nor Bear follows the other, so they might be keeping things under wraps if they do end up together.
Bear does not follow any of this year’s contestants, but a few do follow him.
Currently, Pip, Catherine, Kim, Terri, and Lauren are the only contestants who follow Bear on Instagram.
Bianca also said Janette could also be the one at the end.
“They really had the most incredible connection and the way he looked at her, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah’, I feel like she’s a really strong contender,” she said. “I think he absolutely adores Jan too.”
She also mentioned that Kim was a strong contender.
However, there have been fears that he doesn’t pick anyone, or him and his final pick have gone their separate ways.
Last week, New Idea revealed that he seemingly revealed that he is no longer with the winner.
Currently, his Instagram bio says he is a “Single father of 3”.
Only time will tell if this confirms that he’s no longer with his final pick, or that he hasn’t updated his profile and is staying under the radar.
An insider also told Pedestrian TV that producers were worried, because the show reportedly isn’t what he’s looking for.
The publication reported that he apparently generally dates women in their thirties, but the network has stuck to the successful US format, with older ladies.
However, Channel Nine has released a teaser promo where he reveals that he’s in love. So, how long it lasts is yet to be seen.
This week, a caller told Triple M’s Beau, Cat and Woodsy that they heard he doesn’t pick anyone.
The hosts interviewed Bear before the season began, so they were quick to weigh in.
“I’ve interviewed all of them (Bachelors) throughout my radio career, you can tell the ones that come in, and they can’t say much, but they look they’re exhausted, but they look happy…” Cat Lynch began.
“He (Bear) had that look on his face that was very similar to the Honey Badger. And in my head, I’m like, ‘Oh, you realise what’s happened here’…it was weird.
“I was like, he’s either picked someone, and she’s rejected him, or he’s rejected her. There’s something weird about it.”
Beau Ryan agreed, but said that he’s chosen someone, but it hasn’t worked out.
