The Bachelor NZ (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Previously, on "The Bachelor"

Kristie's single date
left her empty-handed.

There's no rose.

No one has gone on a single date

and not got a rose.

Then, in a dramatic
horse-riding accident

Matilda broke her arm

but gained a more ardent suitor.

Thank you so much.

I feel protective of her.

Then,
at an agonizing rose ceremony..



I couldn't make a decision.

...Arthur's
indecision got the better of him.

Arthur,
you cannot have eight girlfriends.

And nobody went home.

Tonight on "The Bachelor"

Arthur takes
one lucky girl sky high.

We just pushed out of the plane.

But for another bachelorette

it's not all plain sailing.

You alright?

Then,
at an intense cocktail party

girls lay their hearts
on the line.

I think I'm going to be smiling
for the rest of the night.

And a shock announcement



leaves Arthur in the lurch.

My heart is
just breaking for her.

And another farewell

leaves some girls
feeling guilty.

I need to take back
everything bad

that I've said about her.

With each day that
passes, I'm developing

stronger
and stronger connections

with each of the girls,
and it's really difficult

to choose who should stay,
and who to say goodbye to.

But it's something
that I have to do

so that I can discover
who it is that I could

potentially spend
the rest of my life with.

Hello!

- Hi, Mike!
- Hi, Mike!

Matilda, great to see you.

Thank you.

'How's the arm feeling?'

It's a lot better today. Yeah.

Feeling.. But I still got
little sausage fingers.

Cute, I'd like to say

Ladies, that is the end

of the extreme dates,
but you know Arthur.

He is a man who loves adventure.

So, I'll guess you'll want this.

- Yeah.
- Yes, please.

Dani.

Well, until next time,
Ladies, have an enjoyable day.

- Thanks!
- Thanks, Mike!

I'm really wanting
a second single date

but I think it is gonna be
Danielle.

She hasn't been yet,
and it would just be

a little bit rude to already
start on second dates.

"I'm taking you sky-high,
then off the grid."

- Hot air balloon.
- Yeah, that would be nice.

- That would be a cool date.
- While, in the hot air balloon.

It's a single date.

- Ooh!
- Yeah.

I really want the single date.

That's the only way
I'm actually going to know

if I have a connection
with Arthur or not.

And the girl
going on the date is..

Poppy.

- Really?
- Yay!

- Oh, my god!
- Yep.

Maybe I'm
just not his cup of tea.

I think I need some help,
you guys.

I just don't know
what I need to do

to get a single date
around here.

I wonder whether Arthur
is kind of testing me

just to see
what I'm really made of.

I feel really bad for Danielle

but I'm also like

"Sweet. I'm off. See ya!"

- Bye!
- Bye!

I think Arthur knows me
pretty well

and I trust that he will choose

something that I'm gonna love.

Tand.. Oh, no!

Oh, shi.. God, no!

Oh, my God, no.

I want to tell Arthur
that he's got the wrong girl.

No, no, next!

I'm not getting out.

- Hey!
- Morning.

Morning.

Poppy looks really freaked out.

Oh, my God, really?

- Well, yeah.
- Oh, God!

I'm a bit worried that
she might not want to do it.

Oh, God!

Yes! Yes!

- Really?
- Yes, let's do it!

- Yes!
- I'm so excited!

It was touch and go,
I wasn't sure.

I'm so excited.

I'd love to do it, yeah

but I'm gonna be
a bundle of nerves.

'You know,
when you do something really scary'

it produces a hormone
called phenyl ethylamine.

That makes you think
you're in love.

- Really?
- Yeah, honestly.

All part of my plan.

You look like
someone from the eighties.

- Do I?
- Yes!

With my bum bag?

You look like you're up
to a roller disco.

Poppy looks so cute
with her little pigtails

and her jumpsuit.

Yeah,
I'm looking really hot right now.

I'm looking dead sexy.

Nervous now?

Yeah, nervous excited.

Nervous excited?

- Really?
- Yes.

Arthur's doing
his best to calm me down.

- C'mon, let's do it.
- I'm gonna have so much fun!

This plane is teeny, tiny

and I'm squished up
next to three big men.

And we start to go up

and the views are unbelievable.

And I suddenly went very quiet,

and I'm just hoping
that I'm not going to die.

I reached back and give
Poppy's leg a little squeeze

just to reassure her
and let her know

that I'm next to her,
and we're in this together.

We get to 10,000 feet,
the door opens

and then the wind
just rushes in.

Whoosh, cold air everywhere

freezing, freezing cold.

I'm thinking, "What if
the parachute doesn't open?

What if I die?"

And then it's just, we're off.

And then we're falling.

I feel incredible.

I'm so glad that I could share

this experience with Poppy.

Freefalling is
the most unbelievable

experience I've ever had
in my life.

Suddenly,
the parachutes pulled and..

..silence.

All the wind just stops.

Everything stops, the rush
just stops and you just

we had this amazing glide
down to the ground.

It was beautiful.

I'm a bit heavier
than Poppy, so I land first.

And then she comes down
and lands on her feet

actually very gracefully.

I'm safe. I didn't die.

What an adrenaline rush.

Arthur gives me a big hug.

It's so amazing
to do that with him.

I'm so glad I
chose Poppy for this date.

She's definitely
the right person.

Afterwards, Arthur and I
hop in the car, and it's lovely.

This is where we can
just completely relax.

And we pull
up to this picturesque

little driveway, and it says,
"Warm Earth Cottage."

Beautiful flowers,
and trees, and orchards.

Arthur tells me that we are
going to pick some fruit

which is right up my alley.

It's a little piece of paradise

and I can see Poppy
just light up.

Look at the butterflies!

This is bringing back
lots of childhood memories

'cause my sister and I used
to go out to the orchard

and the house
and eat really unripe fruit

and get a bit sick,
it sounds like

Arthur had a similar childhood
in that respect.

- Yum.
- Yum.

I'd love to have this one day,
have a garden like this.

Yeah, me, too.

Love someone who can appreciate
the simple things in life.

The guy who likes that
and loves his family

these are the important things
for me.

Is this our own
private, little creek?

Yeah.

It looks absolutely
freezing, Arthur!

We'll find out.

So cold, I've got
goosebumps, but I love it.

I love this kind of stuff.

We both dive in
at the same time.

Then my bikini falls down.

Poppy has a wardrobe
malfunction, and, uh

I get an eyeful.

- You, alright?
- Yes, I'm cold!

Arthur can tell
I'm getting a bit cold

so he pulls me close.

It's really nice
hugging Poppy in the water.

It feels safe, and I feel happy.

Arthur's definitely getting
a lot more

affectionate with me.

It feels really
comfortable and natural.

I'd be lying if I said

I didn't have feelings
for Arthur.

It's a perfect moment.

I'm loving this.

So what do you
guys think Poppy's doing

on her single date today?

Canyoning.

She really wants to do
the glowworm caves.

- Ah, really?
- Yay!

Well, hopefully for her sake
they are doing it.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

What's that, uh, white thing?

Second date card arrives.

I'm thinking,
maybe it's a group date.

- Alright, clue.
- Yeah.

"Some things
are just better one-on-one."

- Oh!
- Whoa!

The card's read out

and we starting thinking, "Well.

This doesn't sound
like a group date."

We're not gonna have
two single dates in a row.

- One-on-one.
- I know!

Alright, hands up.
Who thinks it's a single date?

Group date?

Group date,
but like speed dating.

I'm definitely hoping that

I'm going to be
on this group date.

Just need to talk to Arthur
and settle a few things.

It'd be really nice just to have

a couple moments with him.

- Is it a group or single?
- It's a single date.

I really hope the single
date goes to Danielle.

She totally deserves that.

And the girl
going on the single date is..

Danielle.

Oh, my God!

Thank God, that poor woman.

So you can unpack
those bags, girl.

Yeah.
You're not going anywhere.

She deserves an award
for her patience

'cause I don't know
if I would have

stuck around that long.

I think you deserve
to hold onto this one.

Yeah, I'm not gonna let this go.

After the freezing cold swim

Arthur leads me up to

where there is a bath prepared.

This is so romantic.

No one's ever done this
for me before.

It's heated up by a fire
underneath it

which I've never seen before.

- Is it warm?
- Yeah, perfect.

We hop in the bath together

which was a bit of a squeeze.

He's a big guy, and I've
got quite a sizable rear.

We're definitely cozy
in this bath.

I feel a very
strong connection with Poppy.

This has been a perfect day.

Cheese and watermelon!

And our berries that we picked.

- And our berries we picked.
- Yeah.

I don't want our date to end

so I've arranged
for a few more treats

and the fruits of our labor.

I must say, I've never had

a second date in a bath, though.

- You haven't?
- It's quite forward.

Oh, it's pretty standard for me.

Quite early on, I figured
out that I liked you.

I realized I liked you
from the beginning as well.

That's why I picked you
for the first date.

Straight off the bat,
I knew that I liked you.

Well, Poppy,
I've thoroughly enjoyed today.

And uh..

I just happened
to have... something

that I'd really hope
that you would accept.

Poppy,
will you accept this rose?

I gladly will accept this rose.

Thank you.

You just made my day so amazing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Poppy had said to me
previously that she doesn't

want to kiss me until
she's in the final five.

I think you're awesome.

But I think now's the time.

Can I kiss you, Poppy?

I really wanna see if we can

take our relationship
to the next level.

Yeah.

It's a faultless kiss.

Kissing Poppy is really nice.

She's got lovely lips.

The moment feels
like it's in slow motion.

The moment was so right.

It's pretty much everything
I hoped it would be

and more.

It's just one
of the nicest things

anybody's ever said to me.

Arthur is somebody
that I could fall in love with.

Just everything about you,
Poppy.

- Shush, Arthur.
- Sorry.

I was kind of snapped
back to reality like, "Oh!

Yes, you also have
a lot of other girlfriends."

- I know.
- I'm really sorry.

- No, I see it.
- You know?

I see it.

I really don't wanna get hurt.

They wouldn't have gone
glowworm caving.

That was something
adrenalin-ish.

Skydiving, they're gonna throw
her out, or something.

Or throw her off something.

Hi!

- Hello, girls.
- Welcome back.

Thank you. Oh!

So did you get a rose?

I got a rose!

She's looking very relaxed
and calm

as you probably would be,
holding a rose.

Start from the beginning.

We drove
into the tandem skydive.

If I was going on a
date, and then

Surprise,
you're jumping out of a plane

not my cup of tea.

So what else? What else?

So then we drove
to Warm Earth Cottage.

It was picturesque. It was
in the middle of the hills.

And it just keeps going,
like, the next thing

and then the next thing,
and then the next thing

so it sounds
like an awesome day.

We went back up,
and he had run a bath.

It's a little
bit crushing to hear

what a wonderful time
Poppy had with Arthur

'cause I'm always thinking,
"Yes, I wish that was me!"

- Yeah, it was really lovely.
- Did you kiss?

Of course, they wanted
to know if we kissed.

I think if she did
kiss Art today

she would come across
as a bit of a hypocrite

because she has been so vocal
about not kissing him.

I pecked him on the cheek.

- Good girl.
- Just a little peck.

A nicely entry-level kiss.

I didn't lie.

I told the girls that I
kissed Arthur on the cheek.

And I did.

She tells us that she's
pecked him on the cheek.

And I believe her.

I do feel like
everyone has been honest

about whether they kissed him

or whether they didn't kiss him.

It was a truly magical day.

Yeah.

I feel really lucky
that they dropped it

and I actually didn't lie.

I am so relieved that I finally

get to go on a first date
with Arthur.

He looks absolutely fantastic.

- So excited!
- I know!

- Finally, right?
- Yeah, definitely.

Danielle looks great.

She's as bubbly as ever.

She's got a huge smile
on her face.

She's the last of the girls
to go

on a single date,
so I really hope

that she likes what I've
got planned for her.

'Where are we going, though?'

- Throw me a bone.
- 'Yeah, industrial area.'

'I thought
maybe we could just see'

how you go
at driving a forklift.

He is just
not going to let on anything.

'No way!'

'What do you call this?'

- This is Blokarting.
- Blokarting.

- Yeah.
- I love it.

I've chosen
Blokarting for the date today

with Danielle,
because I wanna see

what she's like outside
of her comfort zone.

- Okay. Let's do it.
- Yeah.

We have a little
tutorial about making sure

that if anything goes wrong,
you would let the rope out.

That's Rule One,
Rule Two, and Rule Three.

- How do we get started?
- I don't know.

- We need an adult.
- Can someone give us a push?

Oh, my God!

Go, Danielle!

I'm gonna come
and get you in a minute.

Here we go.

Move!

So then I hear that,
we're going to have a race.

- Three, two, one.
- Three, two, one.

- Go!
- Go! I'm about to whip you!

She's quite competitive,
which I like

and she's not holding back.

I don't even know
where we're going.

Ah! ****

- You alright?
- I'm fine.

Jesus.

- Hold tight.
- Okay.

I think you forgot
the Number One Rule, which was--

Win at all costs?

Danielle has no fear

and she's determined
to have fun, which I like.

C'mon Blokart, blow!

- No!
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Ah... dammit.

To my complete
surprise, I won the race.

- Are you sulking?
- No.

- I wasn't even trying.
- I really enjoyed that.

Yeah, you like to live
on the edge.

Or on the side.

I'm really pleased to see

that he's not a sore loser

and we just had
a wonderful, wonderful time.

Feeling really
good about this date

with Danielle today, I find her

really interesting
and such a cool chick.

After the excitement
of the Blokarting

I've arranged something
quite relaxing and romantic.

I think it's gonna be
a chance for Danielle and I

to really get to know
each other a bit better.

And then I see off in
the distance, this beautiful fire.

- This is great!
- Yeah.

- It's like a sandcastle couch.
- Yeah.

I can see
that he has constructed

this beautiful,
heart-shaped seat

which is sunken into the ground.

So romantic!

I have never seen
anything like this.

Danielle is absolutely
blown away by the fire pit.

I've also got
some hot chocolate.

- My favorite!
- Really?

She's just got so much energy

and it's infectious
and it's so nice to be around.

How did you know?

Well, it's just a lucky guess.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Next thing,
Arthur suggests that we

roast some marshmallows
over the fire.

I just think
this is the best thing ever.

How do you roast your marshmallows?
I let mine burn.

I quite like, to get it charred

but on the outside.

I don't think we roast enough
marshmallows in adult life.

No. I remember doing it around
a campfire as a kid.

It's just the perfect setting
to be really intimate

and talk about some things,
you know

which may have been
on our minds.

You're quite different
from me in a lot of ways

like, we do have
some similarities

but I think
I am looking for someone

who probably isn't like
a mirror image of me.

I feel like
I could ask Arthur anything

and he would answer me honestly.

Like, do you believe
in love at first sight?

I've been asked that
quite a bit, recently.

I bet you have.

I don't believe
that I've experienced it

but I believe
that it does happen.

Hard to say if there's a spark
between Danielle and I.

I feel like it might be
too early to tell

but I find her fascinating
and really

really good to talk to.

Do you have any
burning questions for me?

I still kind of struggle
with the age thing.

Yeah?

Like, it shouldn't be a problem,
but I just wonder

whether we're at different
stages of our lives.

The only thing
would be that I think

I want to have kids
in like... five, six years.

What are your thoughts on that?

I never pictured myself wanting

to have children,
up until quite recently.

I always wanted to be a dad.

- Really?
- I always wanted to be a dad.

I love my family, and I just

want to have my own family.

That's really good
that you know that

and that you feel
so strongly about it.

'I really
enjoy talking with you.'

I just feel like, on the
same level with things.

If you just wait here
for a second

I might just grab
one other thing.

Is that what I think it is?

How did you guess?

Oh, I just was hoping, but

I completely forget
about the fact that

sometimes on dates
he gives out roses.

I've thoroughly enjoyed today.

It's been really nice,
and you're great.

Yeah, I feel like
I've got to know you

so much better today.

I just had such a nice time
on our date

and I thought that there was
possibly more to explore

so I really wanted
to give her a rose.

Danielle,
will you accept this rose?

I would love
to accept this rose.

Thank you so much.

It was the most perfectly
planned and executed date.

The only thing
that was missing was

I felt like
there should have been a spark.

- What a lovely day.
- I know.

- It's cool, huh?
- Yeah.

- A perfect way to end it.
- Yeah.

I think chemistry's
either there, or it's not.

You can wait it out
and see if it develops

into something
where there are sparks

or you can just leave it
at a friendship.

Do you think Danielle
pashed him?

- No.
- I don't know.

- She's too proper.
- Yeah.

- Hi, girls!
- Hello.

- 'Hello.'
- 'Welcome back!'

You got a rose!

Thank you for waiting up for me.

It's alright.
How was it?

Oh, I had the best time.

It was definitely
worth the wait.

Arthur came and picked me up

then we pull up to this place
that does Blokarting.

The next part of the date

he took me for this walk
along the beach.

The sun was setting,
and the waves

were rolling in, and it was
just the perfect setting.

It sounded like
the perfect setting

for a perfect kiss,
if you ask me.

Yeah, well,
funny you should mention that.

You knew we were
gonna mention that.

Everyone else is
being really upfront about it

so I'm not gonna
hold anything back.

So no, I didn't kiss him

because, although
it was like the perfect date

and you know,
I had the best time

there was just no chemistry.

It takes a
lot to come into a room

where all of us are kind of like

obsessed with Arthur,
and to say that

was quite surprising.

I felt like, we were sort
of just in the friend-zone.

So I did accept the rose

but what do you guys think?

Well, you give us that rose,
and you go home.

You need to think about it, too,
and sleep on it, probably.

I don't know why
he gave her a rose.

I think he admires her a lot

and I think he saw
parts of her personality

that he really enjoyed,
and maybe he just

wanted to give her
another chance.

I think it's very brave
of you to mention it.

Yeah, I was about to say that,
to come back and say, well

to be honest with the feelings.

You know,
I don't know if it is good news for me.

She's got a rose,
and she's accepted it

so she's here for another week,
and I may not be.

- Hi!
- How are you?

- Good, how are you?
- Look, it matches.

Oh, wow!

Wonderful to have Matilda back.

Oh, it's so sweet that her
cast matches her dress.

Well, it's great
to have you back with us. Yeah.

'It runs a good
spirit, this place, I think.'

This place brings
good energy, yeah.

After my date with
Danielle I've now spent time

with each of these girls,
and I feel like I've made

a genuine connection
with all of them.

So it's gonna be really tough

sending one of them
home tonight.

Tonight's cocktail
party, I think

I might change it up
a little bit

as in, I might approach Arthur

if he doesn't
take me away first.

Matilda do you wanna
come and have a chat?

- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah?

'What are you drinking?'

It's kind of
just like soda water

with a bit of lime.

Oh, no.

'What is with you
and, like, tripping over?'

First it was the espresso
martini on the deck and now

I don't know.

You gonna be alright with these?

'Yeah, I should be fine.'

- I'll hold you, shall I?
- Oh, yeah.

I don't know. I seem to just be
quite clumsy around Matilda.

Very happy that he took
Matilda away.

Yeah. Feel like she definitely
deserves that time.

So are you
enjoying yourself so far?

- Yeah, yeah I am.
- Yeah.

I just wanted to say
that the way that

you acted with the accident
was so amazing.

Having you there was really
nice and very supportive.

It was just good
to have someone that, like

totally had my best interests
at heart.

It was a nice date.

- Yeah.
- You're welcome.

I was, yeah, I kinda feel,
it sounds weird

but I kind of enjoyed
looking after you.

Does anyone feel like they need

to talk to Arthur tonight?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

I am really sorry
'cause I know that

'probably everyone
wants to have a chat'

'with him at this stage.'

No, if you feel like
you need to, of course.

Yeah, now that I've had
time to reflect

I really think he needs
to know how I feel.

While we're being serious today

I'll just like, let loose.

Because I know that we
sort of joke around

and stuff, and that's fun,
but, like

I do actually really like you

and the more time
I spend with you

I like you even more.

So I just want you to know

that I'm in it
for the long haul.

- Wow!
- Yeah.

It is a lot of information.

That was,
that was the best information

you could ever give me.

I think I'm going to be smiling
for the rest of the night.

Yeah, I think I'm happy, now.

Up until this
point, Matilda and I

have really just joked around
a lot and had a lot of laughs.

And tonight,
she really opened up

and told me that she
actually really likes me

and, um, makes me
feel pretty good.

'Oh, Danielle's here.'

- Hi!
- Hello.

- Hi!
- I'm really sorry to interrupt.

That is totally fine.

'Would you mind if I
had a quick chat with Arthur?'

No, not at all.

Danielle walks in and asks

for some time alone with me

and from the very start

she seems like
she's on a mission.

- I really enjoyed our date.
- Yeah.

It was just the most amazing,
perfect day, ever.

- Yeah, it was cool, huh.
- Yeah.

I wanted to say
thank you so much.

But..

I did want to have a chat
to you today

just because I felt
a little bit confused

at the end of our date.

Then you came out with the rose.

I was a little surprised
because I felt

I guess the best way
to put it is a little bit

more like we were
in the friend-zone.

And I kind of wondered
how you felt about that.

Wow, okay.

I really enjoyed our date.

But I felt, like,
we were in the Friend Zone.

And I kind of wondered
how you felt about that.

Wow, okay.

'I just had such a great day.'

And I really
enjoyed your company

and I just felt like
I wanted to give you a rose.

If we were ever going to feel
anything for each other

it probably
would have been then.

And so I guess
for that chemistry to be missing

I was sort of thinking,
well, that kind of

almost like confirmed it for me.

I know that a lot
of the other girls here

are feeling that connection
with you already.

And I'm not, so I guess
what I'm saying is

I can't accept the rose
that you've given me.

I absolutely appreciate
you being

so honest about everything.

I can't say
that I'm not a little bit

disappointed that she's
given back the rose

but, you know,
if it's not right for her

then it's not right for me.

Thank you so much.

- Hey, thank you.
- Oh, you're very kind.

- Alright.
- Okay.

Yeah.

- Take care.
- Same to you.

All the best.

- Hi, girls.
- 'Hi!'

'How are you?'

I have a bit
of an announcement to make.

- Oh, no, no.
- Oh, God, what?

- I'm leaving.
- Oh, my God!

- Right now?
- Are you serious?

- Right now?
- Oh, my God!

- You get well soon, honey.
- Oh, I love you.

My heart is
just breaking for her

because I don't want her to go

and she has not only
Art's best interest at heart

but also the rest of the girls.

And I don't know if I could be

brave enough to do something
like that.

- We love you!
- We love you!

- Bye, roomie!
- Bye.

Bye.

I don't think I
will regret this decision.

I definitely feel like I've made

the right decision for me

hopefully
I've made things easier

for Arthur as well,
and I'm really excited

about the future for both of us.

That was intense.

I wonder if it was unexpected
for him.

- Yeah.
- I think so.

I think someone should go down

and see if he's alright.

That's a hard act to follow,
right there.

Go, babe.
You're right on the end.

Yeah, I think you should go.

- Alright.
- Have fun.

- Good luck.
- Really?

You look beautiful, Nat.

I didn't get to speak to Arthur

at the last cocktail party.

I haven't chatted to him
in a little while

so just a quick catch-up.

So I'm sitting there

and I'm feeling a little bit
shell-shocked

and down comes Nat
to try and cheer me up

which is really nice.

- Oh, that was tough.
- Yeah, it was a bit unexpected.

How do you feel about that?

I feel..

...kind of sad that she's
gone

but at the same time,
I completely understand

where she's coming from
with everything.

Is there anything that you

like, after what just happened

is there anything that,
like, you need to ask me?

Do you know what I mean?

Basically, sometimes,
you're a bit reserved

and you're a bit nervous,
and not yourself.

But I just want you to know
that I really quite like you.

- Yay! That makes me happy.
- Yeah.

Cocktail party is ending soon,
Babe, and I think

you need to get some stuff
off your chest.

'Why didn't I get a rose?'

I don't know
if I should say that.

I understand why
Kristie is being stubborn

however, you may never
get closure, Kristie.

It's better to go
and not regret it

than to not go and regret it.

- And like, not to know.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- And just give him a hug.

- He's just been dumped.
- Yeah.

Alright. I'm going.

Kristie comes
down, and I can tell

just from her
whole demeanor that

there's something on her mind

and I'm possibly going to be
asked some big questions.

- Yeah.
- Hi.

I just wondered
if I could steal some time.

- Yeah.
- 'Is it alright with you?'

- No, it's totally fine.
- What do you want to do?

- Let's go up top.
- 'Let's.'

I would love
to go up top.'

I definitely need to know

where I'm standing right now.

If we're just gonna be friends,
I need to know

or if he wants more
and he likes me, you know

in that romantic way,
then I need to know.

I really wanted to just
steal your time tonight

I mean, the last cocktail party
was a bit

limited in time, and I haven't

seen you since our
one-on-one date.

I thought that maybe
we should just, like, catch up.

Yeah. Cool.

So I'm here if you want
to say anything

or ask me anything.

I feel I've been really
strong in the past

and not let love come in
because I've been afraid.

- Right.
- So, I've just, yeah.

How do you feel now,
saying that?

I want, I want love.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- I do.

There's been a different change
in Kristie's demeanor.

She's lost all her confidence
and needs reassurance.

It sounds funny coming from me

because I'm such a,
like, a strong

or I try to be
such a strong person.

And um..

Being vulnerable
is difficult for me.

Mm-mm.

But I'm, I wanna be.

I wanna be in love.

Regardless of what Danielle
tries to do

whether she stayed
or whether she left

he still was planning on
not giving someone a rose.

Who doesn't currently have one.

And this week, he is gonna
have to follow through with it.

He can't not give
a rose this week.

- No.
- Surely.

- No.
- Oh, my God.

I hate this.
Excuse me.

Yeah, I've just got quite
anxious about the rose ceremony.

- Me, too.
- All of a sudden, eh?

- Also me.
- Uh, yeah.

Lot of anxiety kicked in, okay.

I'm really prepared
to be an open book.

And from now on, I think

that's the best way
forward for me.

Yeah. That's good.
That's what I want.

That's the Kristie
that I wanna know.

- Yeah.
- Nice.

'Cause I've been so stupid.

I feel more comfortable
around you now.

- Good.
- Like, I feel like you're you.

Yeah. Hi.

- How's it goin?
- Good.

Good.

I think he definitely should

send someone else home tonight.

- What do you girls think?
- Yeah.

'As long as it's not me.'

This is what this is all about.

He will know, in his
heart and in his mind

who he's making
the connections with.

And it won't be
just equally as strong

amongst the seven girls
remaining.

So I definitely feel like

he needs to send someone home

just to show that he is
taking this seriously

and thinking about it.

Ladies, good evening.

'At the last rose ceremony'

there were eight of you
remaining.

Tonight, there are just seven,
that's after Danielle

graciously left
the French country house.

Everybody's
seems extremely nervous now

at this rose ceremony,
with so few of us

it's really crunch time now.

Poppy, obviously, you had
an amazing single date.

- How did it go?
- Oh, it was unbelievable.

It just kept on going.

And do you feel there's
a connection being made?

I feel like Arthur and I
are definitely getting closer.

Well, congratulations.

You have a rose,
so tonight, you're safe.

For the six of you remaining

Arthur tonight has five roses
to hand out.

Which means one of you will be

leaving
the French country house.

At this stage, every girl here

has a connection with him.

So every girl, to me,
is a potential threat.

Ladies, the best of luck.

It's time to bring in Arthur.

I don't know who
is gonna get the first rose.

I kind of hope it's me because

I spilled my heart out
at the cocktail party.

Not feeling
confident at all tonight.

Ladies, Danielle's exit was

unexpected,
but her honesty and openness

is something
that I really appreciated.

'And I think,
it's important to me'

that we're all as open,
and honest.

And true to our emotions
as Danielle was.

I hope I'm not going home.
It's definitely a possibility.

The rose ceremonies now are

starting to get
very nerve-wracking.

You look behind,
and you see that

there are only three girls
behind you.

It's really awful
standing on that podium

waiting for my name.
It's not fun.

Nat.

Nat, will you accept this rose?

- Gladly will, thank you.
- Thank you.

I'm just gonna leave
all the thinking up to Arthur.

It's his rose ceremony.

Whoever stays,
obviously, he is into

and whoever goes home,
it's not meant to be.

Matilda.

It's really
nice to be called second

and safe again.

Matilda, will you accept
this rose?

Yes, definitely.

I do look at
where the roses are.

And you see them
just going, down one by one.

Everyone wants that rose

that beautiful, little red rose.

Alysha.

Alysha,
will you accept this rose?

Very happy to be getting a rose

and confirmation
that he still does

want me here
and wants to get to know me.

I think he's
playing a joke on me

because this is the
second-to-last rose again

and I really hope
it has my name on it

just for consistency here.

There are three girls
left, and only two roses.

I'm not feeling 100% confident.

I don't think Arthur and Kristie

are on the same page.

I think Kristie,
you're on the chopping block.

Dani.

Dani's name was
called, which I knew it would be.

She wasn't going home
anytime soon.

Dani, will you accept this rose?

Of course I will.

I'm not worried at all.

Chrystal could be going
in the rose ceremony

because I think there is girls

that are more suited
for Arthur than her.

Arthur's picked up the last rose

and I am waiting in
anticipation.

I'm not even thinking anything.

It's so painful by the
time we get to the end.

I'm just like, hurry up.

Chrystal.

Chrystal, will you
accept this rose?

Yes, I will.

Oh, my God.

Kristie, you did not
receive a rose tonight

'so your time
at the French country house'

has come to an end.

Please take a moment
to say your goodbyes.

I will miss Kristie.

I was very close to her

and it's just one less person
in the family now.

Where are the tears?
Why is no one crying?

When next Kristie asked us,
"Where's the tears?"

I feel like I have to try
and push them out or something.

It is a bit embarrassing.

What does she want us to say?

Sorry, we'll start
the waterworks now.

I was hoping somebody
would shed one.

So I'm just trying
to act more sad.

I don't really know what to do.
It's quite awkward.

Thank you so much
for absolutely everything.

You've got a great bunch
of girls behind me

'and you just wanna
figure out who you want.'

Have fun with Poppy

or you know such
a strong girl, Matilda

or a free spirit like Chrystal.

'You've just got
such a hard road ahead of you'

'and good luck with everything.'

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Kristie's speech was beautiful.

It was a nice way for her
to leave.

I just feel like
I need to take back

everything bad
that I've said about her.

- You're the best.
- Thank you.

She has left with dignity.

She can hold her head up high

knowing that she was the
best version of herself.

I'd rather leave now before

somebody else went home
who had a deeper connection

so I think he's made
a good decision.

Next time, on "The Bachelor"

an otherworldly escape..

It's like being in a movie.

...gets steamy..

The kiss was
well worth the wait.

...before an
explosive revelation.

She basically drops a bombshell.

It would have been helpful
if she'd told me earlier.

Evening.

And one bachelorette..

I've got my binoculars on.

...breaks the Golden Rule

at a drama-filled
cocktail party.

Oh my gosh, she's all over it.
