That is the question we all ask ourselves each Wednesday and Thursday as we sit down for another instalment of The Bachelorette Australia.

During previous years, itโ€™s been very easy to tell who is about to be sent home, particularly when there are still men left who get zero screen time.

However, there is one minor detail that has changed โ€“ and it will blow your mind.

Looking back at Sophie Monkโ€™s season in 2017, eagle-eyed Bachie fans noticed that contestants who were lucky enough to score the coveted rose have a magnet attached to their jackets.

โ€œIโ€™ve worked out who the one going home will be,โ€ Twitter user Sienna wrote.

โ€œThey all have magnets for the rose, except the loser.โ€

In fact, thanks to the interwebs and archiving, we have photographic proof from seasonโ€™s past.

During one particular week, polo player Bingham (who?) was sent packing while construction foreman and resident villain, Ryan (oh, God โ€“ #neverforget), somehow managed to stay.

But if you look closely, Ryan, was actually wearing a magnet on his lapel and poor old Bingham was not.

Now, fast forward to 2019 and the mysterious magnets have disappeared โ€“ theyโ€™re now inside the lapel!

See! No magnet in sight!

And it magically stays.

And mic drop! Somebody hand me my Walkley!

Yup, thatโ€™s right โ€“ that sneaky production crew have gone and change this tiny little detail โ€“ so guessing is out of the question!

So, does this mean another one of our theories is about to be busted?

Every year, thereโ€™s a โ€œfirst impressionโ€ rose that our beloved Bachelorette gifts to someone who impresses her the most โ€“ and for Angie, that was honey-child Carlin Sterritt.

But, if history is anything to go by โ€“ it will end in disaster!

The first impression rose was given to Carlin, so is he the winner?

During Georgia Loveโ€™s season, the โ€œwhite roseโ€ was given to Courtney Dober โ€“ however, he was sent home after G realised they werenโ€™t on the same page.

When it was Aussie darling Sophie Monkโ€™s turn, the Love Island host she gave Sam Cochrane a โ€œdouble delightโ€ rose โ€“ and, well, we all know how that turned out!

Last year, Ali Oetjen gave Bill โ€œDavidโ€ Goldsmith the โ€œwild roseโ€ โ€“ before choosing Taite Radley in the finale.

But, if theyโ€™re mixing it up a little, does this mean Carlin is the one?

One thingโ€™s for sure, we CANNOT wait to find out!
