Bachelor Ukraine - Season 12 - Aleks Topolskiy - Episodes - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Okay, I watched this episode and I think I will need to have it interpreted thoroughly.
Here’s why;
I like Sasha M because she has big energy, to me a presence that grabs you (IMO). After this episode I still like her (I’m following her IG page and it’s tamer than the proclaim innocents). If I am wrong, so be it.
I watched the whole show but I’m focusing on this contestant- Sasha M. Her bio says unemployed and I’m guessing that’s a no no in Ukraine no matter how pretty you are; that it gives a bad impression of intent and worthiness (?)
On IG, wow she’s a big fan favorite until this episode. Some comments are brutal about Sasha’s behavior towards the other women. Last episode she received the pink rose to be the house boss . The women complained about her using them to her advantage; they looked ticked off during the rose ceremony and complained to the bachelor. He looked shocked!
He would. They had a great date . A date where he told her about himself and his upbringing. They walked around like a couple. (She to me look more suitable and compatible with him. The chemistry is off the charts from day one. She’s the first one that he tried to initiate kissing.

As a long time Bachelor viewer. It looks like a setup, even from the first episode. I don’t know what happened post show, but the edit is attempting to cast a certain image on her. I don’t know. When production gives props its for a reason. They know that the Bachelor is or was hit for her. Btw, she did not kiss him.

To me, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.?

@Idlemess thanks for the recap. I haven't watched yet but plan on catching up soon.

Just to clarify, there are two Sashas?

Yes.
Sasha M
Sasha (IT)

Sasha M was the talk of episode 3

Yes, she was very charming from the very beginning, and I liked them together. She was my favorite from the very beginning, it was always very interesting to watch her with Alex.

In previous seasons there were always a lot of girls, who were looking for rich guys and didn't mind them being married and they didn't care if they just wanted to have young and pretty GFs as long as they were paying for everything. And I guess that many people watching this show are very tired of this kind of girls being casted for this show. They wanted to see really great girls in it. And I guess knowing that Sasha was unemployed giving them different kind of ideas about her. But actually, we still hardly know anything about her. Nobody cared to show us more about her, because the show needs drama and suspense.

Sure, when they met Sasha told him she was meditating, and she looked all balanced. He mentioned in his comments about her that it would be great for her to become a mistress of the house, to bring all girls together and so on. And something totally opposite happens! So, he was really shocked! He couldn't see her being different with the girls.

I white more later, now I don't have more time for that.

@Maddy thank you!

My day didn't go as planned. I hope to catch up tomorrow.

Episode 1

Episode 2

Thanks @Maddy. Interesting that it's on youtube, but maybe it's because there are so many displaced Ukrainians right now. The okolo site seems to be down, so guess I'll have to wait until ep3 is uploaded to youtube.

She said she was not ready for a kiss. And she wanted him to work more for getting a kiss. Looks like she knows how to pay guys.
After watching her I can say that she is a bitchy girl. Let's see how much he is going to like that about her.
Yes, looks like they wanted him to like her, knowing that she was very attractive, and she could grab his and viewers' attention right away. And they could have some romantic story right away, how they like it, before he moves on to developing a relationship and feeling with someone who he is going to choose. That's what I'm thinking about.

Yes, indeed. I'll be waiting to see when he starts liking her less. When he starts discovering her bitchy personality.
But looks like we'll have to wait a week or so to watch the next episode.

I think they might terminated the site where were watching it before. They do it from time to time every season. They don't like pirate sites. And now, when you can watch it on youtube in a week if you are not in Ukraine, they probably want the viewers watch it on their youtube. We'll see what will be happening. Usually I try to watch it while it is streaming, but tomorrow I'll be busy. So we all be waiting for a while to watch the next episode.
Oh well, what else can we do?
Good luck to us anyway!

They start streaming the episode here now

When she said she is not working, he asked: You are not doing anything?
She said: If I'm not working it doesn't mean that I'm not doing anything. I'm working on myself.
