The Bachelor NZ (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

(Mike)
Previously, on "The Bachelor.."

(Arthur)
I'm looking for someone

who's fun and intelligent.

Someone that I can
have adventure with

and have a family with.

(Mike)
Twenty one single women..

Oh, my God, he's so hot!

(Mike)
Arrived at the mansion.

- My heart's just like..
- Yeah.

(Mike)
And when the party started..

So did the competition
for Arthur's heart.



You go, I'll go with you.

Well, can I steal him away
from you?

(Arthur)
Girl after girl.

You did promise me
two minutes of your time.

This kind of been
a hurricane of girls.

Chrystal is a little bit
intimidating.

This is a crazy scenario.

I'm not really here
to make friends.

(Mike)
And the first Rose Ceremony..

(Arthur) 'Danielle and Matilda,
you have nothing to worry about.'

(Mike)
So four bachelorette go home.

Tonight..

Come on down.

(Mike)
Love is in the air.



Arthur organizes the first

and a series
of spectacular dates.

You think that they would've
kissed on the first date?

(Mike)
Then on a hot group date at sea

emotions go overboard.

Oh, my God! No way.

(Mike)
Later, tears as the pressure

proves too much.

Yeah, I'm really happy
right now.

(Mike) And more girls get
their marching orders.

(female #2) This really
could be my last night.

[instrumental music]

(Arthur) My philosophy in
love is there is definitely

one right person out there
for everyone.

The girls have really put
themselves out

on a limb to get to know me.

I'm hoping
that they too can see that

I am sincere and I really
want to get to know

all of them individually
as well.

Every week I get to take
a girl on a single date

and it's an opportunity
to really get to know that girl

and spend some time with them,
do something fun

and maybe have some romance.

[indistinct chatter]

Good morning, ladies.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I have a message from Arthur.

He wanted me to pass on
just how much he enjoyed

all of your company
at the cocktail party.

Now I know you're all here
because you're looking for love.

And having spent bit of time
with Arthur I can tell you

that he is genuinely
looking too.

So the stakes are pretty high.

Arthur has organized
a series of spectacular

and romantic dates.

So he can get to know you
a little better.

You won't know
what those dates involve

until the arrival
of the date card.

And here is your first one.

Ooh!

I'm thinking that it could be
my name on the date card

because at the cocktail party
we had a really great time

and I got the first rose.

If someone would like to
take it.

'Lisa, go.'

- Thank you, Mike.
- I will leave that with you.

Ladies, good luck. Have fun.

- Thank you.
- Thank you

'Bye.'

Exciting.

[laughing]

"No man is an island."

Maybe tropical island somewhere.

Who's going on the stage?

I'm feeling hopeful
that I will be on the date.

It's a single date.

I really wanna a single date
with Arthur.

I am so jealous of the girl
that gets to go on this date.

Poppy.

[screaming]

I am super jealous probably
like every other girl

'cause I'd love to be
on that date alone with him

- Really?
- Go Poppy.

I had a sneaky suspicion
that it was going to be me.

- You're going on a date.
- I'm going on a date!

[laughing]

I wonder what you're doing?

I wanna go to an island.

Are we going to an island?

To be honest it's great
that's it's not me.

I don't wanna go first.

- Have fun.
- Bye.

- 'Tell us about it later.'
- Of course I will.

I'll be interested to get
the report back from Poppy.

(Poppy)
I'm Poppy, I'm 24.

I live in Ponsonby
and I am a yoga instructor.

I'm kind of beachy,
little bit hippy

but also a bit traditional
as well.

I like to be treated
like a lady.

I was a competitive gymnast.

I still have that competitive
streak in me.

My strengths are my ability
to have a bit of a joke

and not take life too seriously.

But to also stand up for myself

and stand up for the people
that I love.

If he is the one,
and my dad approves, of course

I would love to be
with The Bachelor.

(Arthur) I chose the sea-plane
for the first one-on-one date.

Because Poppy seems
like, a lot of fun.

So I really like to show
her a good time.

(Poppy) I'm sitting in the
car and I'm super nervous

because I'm about
to meet someone

that could be really special
in my life.

- Really?
- 'Yes.'

- Really?
- Really.

Oh, my God!

Come on down.

Oh, my giddy aunt.

Hi. Morning.

- Mm.
- Hi, you look amazing.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

So do you.
You're so dashing and dapper.

(Arthur)
'So I hope you're excited.'

'Ever been
on a sea plane before?'

- No, never.
- Come on, let's, uh..

Let's get you in.

My heart was beating
really fast.

And then it relaxed
because he was so gentle

and genuine.

[engine revving]

How are you feeling?
You excited?

I am, I'm overwhelmed.

- Yeah.
- And excited.

(Poppy)
I think there definitely is

an instant attraction
with Arthur.

I can't keep
my eyes off his eyes

We're looking out
for whales and dolphins.

(Arthur) The pilot's
taking us over Aranga Toto

and taking us for Tiki tour
to around Auckland.

And it's just incredible.

W-what's that?

No.

Poppy admits she doesn't have
any geographical knowledge

of anything.

She's honest and admits it
and doesn't try and fake it.

I really like that.

(Poppy) We land,
and we are in the most idyllic spot.

(Arthur)
Cowell is insane.

The water's so clear.

- Beautiful, huh?
- Oh, my God.

So far I've only told Poppy that
we're going for a sea-plane ride

and we're going to an island

so she doesn't know
what's in store for her

but I've organized a
sea-kayaking adventure for us.

- So we're going kayaking.
- Ooh..

- Do you like kayaking?
- I love kayaking.

- Actually, okay. Good.
- Yeah.

(Poppy)
We're walking towards the beach

in our swimmers and I can't stop

looking at his chest.

It's amazing.

We'll go around some rocks.

See some cool stuff.

On a scale of one-to-ten,
eleven.

(Arthur) Physically,
I'm definitely attracted to her.

She's beautiful.
She's gorgeous.

- Let's do it.
- Yeah.

Let's do it. Alright.

[instrumental music]

And off we go.

You're a natural.

Thanks, Arthur.

Crazy that he arranges something
so perfect for me

for my personality.

Good thing you like kayaks.

- How did you know?
- Just had a feeling, you know?

(Arthur) She looks like a girl
who would love a good kayak.

(Poppy) It was great
to see his cheeky side.

To the right, now.

That's good.

Yeah.

I love a guy who has
a competitive streak.

- No, I will win this.
- Oh, no, you won't.

Poppy's just so easy going,
easy to have a laugh with

and just doesn't take herself
too seriously.

Can have a little bit
of a sun bath here, can't you?

You're ruining my relaxing.

[laughs]

[instrumental music]

(Chrystal)
While Poppy was out enjoying

her first date with Arthur

the girls and I were just

hanging out in the garden,
relaxing.

Maybe they've gone surfing
or something.

'She's a bit of a surfer.'

I mean, she likes
outdoor activities.

- Yeah.
- 'A bit of yoga on the beach.'

- Yup.
- Oh, yeah.

A bit of leg stretching.

[laughing]

I wonder if she kissed him.

(all)
Ooh..

First question has to be that.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Where did she go?
Did she kiss him?

Do you think
that they would've kissed

on the first one-on-one date?

- I would've.
- Whoa.

You didn't get
that threatening, Chrystal?

Unh-unh.
No, I'm happy for her.

(Chrystal) I don't mind not
going on the first date.

It can be kind of nerve wracking
going first.

I don't know if she kissed,
is she gonna tell.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

[instrumental music]

(Arthur) Poppy's a vegetarian
who eats fresh sea food.

So I've organized
an amazing sea food platter.

- How 'bout that?
- Wow.

- Have a seat.
- This looks incredible.

Yeah. I wish I had hunted
and gathered it for you.

(Poppy)
'I wish you had too.'

I was pretty impressed.
He is a true gentleman.

- Cheers. Yeah.
- Cheers, Arthur.

- Where are you actually from?
- I'm from Wiltshire.

And then I moved to Melbourne

because my mom lives there.

She moved over there
with my step-dad

about five-six years ago.

- So your parents split up.
- Mm-hmm.

Both my parents have married
three times each.

So you have been to
quite a few weddings.

- Lots of weddings.
- Yeah.

It is so easy to talk to Poppy.

She's just so natural
and herself.

'Cause my mum's getting married

in about four weeks.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I think we have a lot in common.

I think we have a lot
to talk about.

(Arthur) You said
you're a bit of a hippy.

- A little bit of a hippy.
- Yeah.

I have a dreadlock.

- Yeah. Let's see.
- Hiding in here somewhere.

Do you like that?

Hey, I don't not like it.

- My mum is a hippy.
- Is she?

- Yup.
- Really?

- You remind me of her.
- Thanks.

Yeah.

I think Poppy's great.
I really like her.

And I think there's definitely
a spark there.

(Poppy) I'm following
my heart right now

and my heart says he's awesome.

[instrumental music]

(Arthur)
The day isn't over yet.

Uh, we're gonna go
for a little walk on the beach

and have a little bit more
of a chat.

Ooh, skimming stones.

All eligible bachelors
know how to skim rocks.

- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I admit she's a good
rocking

'cause I don't wanna stop
this up.

(Poppy)
I'm having heaps of fun.

Getting to know him
as the real Arthur.

One, two, three.

Well, two-ish.

Oh, rock holes.
Let's go find some rock crabs.

This is perfect for me.

I use to catch crabs
when I was a kid.

- Did you?
- Yeah.

Poppy is an amazing person.

She's just so warm and I feel
so comfortable in her presence.

Really lovely.

It'll just be good
to see him naturally

like, not dressed up in a suit.
Just kind of him--

- 'Relaxed.'
- Yeah, relaxed.

I wanna see if he can handle me
in the boxing ring.

- If we wanna challenge.
- Yeah.

Personally, I would just
like to get him on his own.

- Yeah.
- Like one-on-one attention.

I wanna take him swimming,
so I can see his body.

He's gotta his shirt off,
definitely.

But I love hanging out
with Art and I'd love to see

more what he's hopefully
passionate about.

Yeah.

[instrumental music]

I'm taking Poppy to a beautiful
spot on the beach

with this amazing
overhanging Pohutukawa

where I've arranged
a little picnic.

Oh, this is beautiful.

Pohutukawatree's one
of my favorite trees.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, actually.

(Poppy)
This is pretty magical.

[farting]

Did you just fart?

Poppy lets out a little fart

and it's just so funny.

- I slipped in the sand.
- Squeaky sand.

But I love the way she just
owned up to it

and, uh, it was hilarious.

It was a matter of time before

someone farts in front
of someone else, isn't it?

Usually it's not the first date.

(Arthur) It was
definitely an ice breaker.

[instrumental music]

This pillow sinks.

I'm kinda sinking closer
and closer towards him.

Yeah, I got especially
sinking pillows.

But I'm not exactly doing
anything to stop that.

This is pretty much
my ideal date. Yeah.

And I'm really pleased
that I choose you for this date.

(Poppy) We're getting
closer and definitely

it's a moment we could kiss.

That makes me feel
pretty special.

I'm not going to kiss Arthur
until it's at least top five

then I know I don't
have to share him with

ten plus other girls.

So, what are your goals?

Personal goals,
I wanna have a family.

How many kids do you wanna have?

Heaps.

I always said I wanted five.

- Five.
- Yup.

I've got a big family
and I absolutely love it.

We seem to have the same goals
in life and same values

and I feel like we just really
connected on this date.

I feel like we got the same
sense of humor as well.

Yeah, I agree.

Really, really funny.

Really hilarious.

After we've had a couple of
glasses of wine

he turns around and he opens up
the wicker basket.

He says that he planned
something for me.

And also..

Poppy, will you accept
this rose?

I will.

Thank you.

The perfect end
to a perfect date.

Hiding that in that basket
all the time.

Yup, it's been in there for
quite a while now.

We had a great date
and we didn't kiss

but I'm not really
comfortable with

kissing someone that early on.

Poppy's been gone a while now.
I wonder where they've been.

I know. It's been all day.

[screaming]

What is going on here?

I missed you girls.

What do you mean? We didn't
even know you were gone.

(Cristy) Poppy walks in
with a grin from ear to ear

and she just looks so happy.

I'm gonna have a seat.

Give you all the gossips.

- Alright, spill.
- So, where did you go?

Well, we got by the water

and there he was waiting
with a sea plane.

Yeah.

Poppy looked a little bit smug
when she came back.

What did he looked like topless?

All the girls are desperate
to know what his body is like.

He was topless.

He has a body.

[laughing]

The focus is little bit
superficial.

But, I mean, he's gorgeous.

(Poppy) 'Well,
he loves the ocean and the beach.'

So it's nice to just get him
in his element

with a little less clothing on.

[laughing]

And did you guys have a kiss?

Oh, we didn't kiss.

[clamoring]

I felt happy for her that
she had a lovely day

but a little bit uneasy now.

So you're just kissing
and not telling.

(Lisa)
'Is that how it's going?'

They can think what they want

what happened with me and Arthur
will stay with me and Arthur.

Can you see yourself
falling for him?

Yeah, I could see myself
falling for him.

[cheering]

She's safe. She's safe
from the Rose Ceremony.

So it makes it harder
for rest of us again.

[instrumental music]

We're in the garden
and Matilda turns up..

Girls..

with an envelop.

Look what I've got!

(Harley) I'm wondering whether
it'll be a single or group date.

Whatever it is
I'd love to be on it.

I'm going a little bit crazy.

I need to get out
of this camp fever.

Here we go.

Okay, so..

"Today.."

(Lisa) Yeah,
I'd really wanna be part of it.

We need as much time
with him as possible.

- "Today we are all at sea."
- All of us?

It's a group date.

And the people going on it are..

(female #4) I'm really hoping
that my name's on there.

- Kristie with a "K."
- Ooh! Yeah.

So my name was read out first
and I was super excited.

- "Danielle B."
- Oh, yeah.

[laughing]

(Lisa) I want as much
as time with Arthur

so I can get to know him more.

Being on the group date is key.

- "Danielle L."
- Yes.

"Natalie."

- "Shivani."
- Oh, my gosh.

- "Dani R."
- Yay.

"Matilda." Me.

- "Lisa."
- Yes.

I feel stoked that I got
on the group date.

That means more time
with Arthur.

And last person is..

- "Chrystal."
- Yes.

[laughing]

I was excited to hear my name

getting read out
on the first group date.

At this stage
it doesn't feel like

it's ever going to be my turn.

That means that I'm not
on the group date.

So a little bit gutted.

I really wanted to go.

(Mike)
Coming up..

A luxurygroup date

has the girls in a spin.

And Arthur's abs drive
everyone..

...to distraction.

Chrystal keep flirting
which made me want to vomit.

So jealous.

Oh, my God! No way!

(Matilda) We're taken
down to the waterfront.

We all have no idea
what's going on.

And we pull up right by
the jet boat place.

And we assumed that
we're gonna go on this

amazing jet boat ride.

Ladies, welcome
to your first group date.

Today you're heading out on
Auckland's stunning harbor.

But before you get too
comfortable

let's just say things
could get a little bit

intrepid out there.

[laughing]

I'm in my summer outfits looking
like I'm going to the races

and I have to get on
to a jet boat.

So, who is up
for a wet and wild adventure?

- Yes.
- Woo!

'Cause I know somebody else
who is.

It's super cool we're going jet
boating, but it's even better

the fact that we get to do it
with Arthur.

- Morning.
- 'Morning.'

I hope you're ready
for a exciting day.

- Yeah.
- Bring it on.

Well, let's get on the boat.

[intense music]

[screaming]

(Dani) We're going super fast pulling
heaps of spins, took two 360s.

I was lucky enough to get
to sit next to Arthur.

I was like "Don't worry
I won't spew on you."

We're all getting splashing
and et cetra and..

The wetter the better.

Just when we're
thinking it's done

we pull up to this
huge amazing cruise boat.

I asked Danielle who's sitting
next to me, I was like

"Do you think we're going
on that boat?"

And Arthur says,
"Ladies this is us

for the rest of the afternoon."

And I just can't
believe my eyes.

- Wow!
- Wow.

It's so luxurious and we just
felt like queens for a day.

Oh, my God, look at this!
Beautiful.

(Arthur) Interesting this
first day and not only to see

how the girls interact with me

but also how they interact
with each other as well.

Who am I gonna talk to?

(Danielle) Girl were
getting out in their bikinis

I'm particularly self conscious

being the oldest one
in the group.

In the end, I try not
to let it bother me.

[instrumental music]

(Dani) When Arthur came
upstairs without his shirt on

my jaw was nearly on dropping.

[cheering]

Come over here, now.

Arthur's body is very
intimidating.

(Danielle L.) Arthur is
hot, he is really ripped.

He's possibly one of
the best looking people

I've ever been in contact with.

- You can grate cheese with 'em.
- Yeah.

You just stare, I was trying
not to, but I was.

Do you want a game?

Should we have another
game of quoits--

I like quoits,
I'm gonna play quoits.

(Lisa) I'm noticing
there's a lot to pick up on

with everybody's personalities.

- Are we allowed to lean?
- Yeah, I'll allow a lean.

(Arthur) Kristie is quite
possibly the most competitive

person that I've ever met.

It's terrible.

(Lisa)
Kristie definitely puts herself

in front of Arthur
so he knows she's there too.

- Yay!
- Well, done!

(Danielle L.) Shivani
was very close to offing.

Just didn't look like
she was in the element.

Well, in our culture
we don't really, you know

show off much skin,
sometimes this is more.

Well, as much as
I do like quoits

'I've got some other
fun activities'

Chrystal and Danielle,
can you come with me?

- Yeah.
- 'Yeah? Okay, just have fun.'

- Have fun!
- Not too much fun!

I was pretty disappointed, you
know, why did they get chosen?

Chrystal and I, are picked
to go on the donut with Arthur

I love the water, however,
not so nice having to walk

in my tall sneaks to Chrystal.

Because she's got
the most amazing body.

(Dani) 'Danielle,
got a rose on the first night'

'and now she's going off on
lucky little side date.'

He might be quite keen
on here already.

What's that noise?

[engine revving]

That is awesome!

(Dani)
Anything adventurous like that

would be such a cool date
to go on.

Yes, I'm definitely jealous.

[cheering]

(Arthur) I think it'll
be an interesting mix.

Danielle strikes me as
someone who is quite sporty

so I figured she'll be
really up for it.

Chrystal, I haven't quite
worked her out yet.

- Hold on, girls!
- Hold on!

- It'll flip backwards. Yeah.
- Backwards?

Chrystal seemed to be getting
kind of flirty with Arthur.

(Arthur) Then to top it
off, I get a double kiss.

(Chrystal) Danielle and I
were just thanking Arthur

for choosing us, because all
the other girls are watching.

So jealous.

(Danielle L.) On the biscuit,
Chrystal kept flirting

which made me want to vomit.

(Chrystal) Danielle,
she was a little worried about her make-up

and about getting wet,
la, la, la, la, la.

[intense music]

Oh, my God, that is so cool!

Watching the girls with Arthur,
it was pretty extreme

it was going really fast
and they looked like

they were hanging on
for dear life.

(Chrystal) I was not coming off
that, the speed we were going

it looked like concrete
down there.

[screaming]

Oh, my God, no way!

(Arthur)
Falling off the biscuit

was actually quite intense.

Oh, my God!

(Arthur)
Danielle handled it quite well.

Chrystal, she just couldn't get
out of the water fast enough.

I wanted to come across Arthur
like I was tougher than Chrystal

though, so wasn't
as scaredy as she was.

Danielle seems like
she's more adventurous.

Chrystal, possibly a little
bit of a princess.

(Chrystal)
After our biscuit date

I definitely liked
Arthur a lot more

it was nice to hang out
with him.

[dramatic music]

So, right now, it's about,
um, that time.

Peak summer time.

Yeah, they'll probably all
be in their bikinis with Arthur.

Yeah, rubbing sunblock
on each other.

Hopefully, it's not gonna
be that choppy

'cause there's nothing
worse to feeling seasick.

It'll be interesting to see
how they all flounder

in being around each other and
kind of vying for his attention.

(Dani) Arthur has come
over to sit with us girls

while we're having a little
nibble and something to drink.

Dani, would you like to come
for a ride on a jet ski?

Yes!

[cheering]

I love jet skis.

Bye, Dani, have fun!

(Kristie) 'I thought it was
a group date where we spend'

all time with him together,
bit gutted to be honest.

I was pretty disappointed
because I actually saw

the jet ski and I would love
to have some one-on-one time

away from everybody.

Whoo!

I know, I'm same,
I was hanging out for it.

That jet ski has my name on it.

Dani, get in the front!

- You could have a drive.
- Yeah, I think I will.

[instrumental music]

- Whoo!
- Yay time.

Dani's coming off the seat.

I am a bit of an
adrenaline junkie.

Anything extreme,
I'm totally up for it.

(Arthur) The girls could
be a little bit jealous.

They probably saw us having
a lot of on the jet ski

and getting quite close.

It's actually really hard
to get you on your own.

Living in a house with girls can
be little hard sometimes so..

I think a lot of the other
girls are struggling.

Now, Danielle, Chrystal and Dani

have-have had like good
quality time with him today

and we really haven't had any.

So, that's just slightly
worrying.

I'm tuning into camp mum though
and I shouldn't be

'cause I'm, like, 20, I'm 22,
I'm like one of the youngest.

(Arthur) Halfway
through the jet ski ride

Dani turned to me and said
that she was quite cold.

It was quite nice
giving Dani a cuddle.

(Dani)
I'm thinking of the other girls

won't be getting that today,
so I'm feeling pretty lucky

feeling pretty special.

Getting close to her
and spending a little

bit more time with her
is really nice

and she seems like
someone that I

want to spend a lot more
time with.

(Lisa) Dani's
personality is definitely

coming out on the date,
she's, you know

having a little bit
of a touch and

that's making herself
known to Arthur.

(Arthur) I've got some drinks lined
up so it's going to be a really

good opportunity for me
to get to know

some of the other girls.

(Lisa) There's quite a few
girls on the group date

that have big personalities,
you know

they'll speak up and be heard.

Women aren't as superficial
as men though, right?

I actually can love someone
because of their personality

when men are very visual people.

(Danielle L.) Chrystal was
very, very opinionated

and wrongfully so.

That's not that they're
shallow like they get turned on

visually,
we're like emotionally.

There seemed to be
a little bit of tension

between Danielle and Chrystal.

(Danielle L.)
Chrystal would say some really

stupid and ignorant things.

For a 30-year-old woman,
there should be

a little bit more substance.

Any man who's interested
in Chrystal

is not a man that
I'm interested in at all.

Well, I've been on a safari
in South Africa.

This close to a lion
out in the open.

- Yeah.
- It's awesome.

Arthur, my glass is empty!

I need a refill.

I think everyone on
the boat just stopped

and like died a little
bit inside.

I'm saying to myself, he not
a waiter, he's the bachelor.

Thank you.

Yeah, she could be quite
bossy, that one.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I'd have Kristie's crossed off
the list of the door in there.

(Arthur) For me there's one girl
that's standing out amongst them.

And that's Dani.

We really made a connection,
um, quite fondly.

- Hey, Dani, can I have a word?
- Yes.

[instrumental music]

(Dani)
Arthur makes me feel awesome.

(Arthur) I feel like
we really connected and

yeah, I definitely want
to spend more time with her.

- You had fun today?
- Yeah.

- You?
- Yeah, I loved it.

(Arthur) It's an incredible
moment standing there next to Dani

watching this beautiful sunset.

I feel like I wanna
give her a rose.

Yeah, can you just wait
here for a second?

Yeah.

(Dani)
At this stage I'm thinking

"Oh, my God, I bet you,
I'm getting a rose."

I know it's a huge surprise
you probably didn't

expect me to bring this out.

I didn't expect it,
but I hoped you would.

- Dani.
- Yes?

- Will you accept this rose?
- I definitely will.

- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.

[instrumental music]

(Mike)
Coming up..

A cocktail party

with nerves on a knife edge.

Where's Brigette?

Yeah, I'm really happy
right now.

(Mike) And one girl
get's it all wrong.

Do you mind if I just jump in?

(Natalie) I'm standing
there, I feel like an idiot.

Did I just interrupt
something really--

Yeah, it was quite intense.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

(Danielle L.) At the start
of the cocktail party

you could notice
a completely different vibe

than what you did
on our first evening.

[indistinct chatter]

- Evening. How's it going?
- Hey.

(Natalie) Some of the girls are
having their time with Arthur

probably are feeling
a little bit under pressure.

If they haven't been
on the one-on-one

and they haven't been
on the group dates.

[indistinct chatter]

It just really overwhelming
being here.

I feel like I can't
just really be myself.

How many people do you think
are going home tonight

at Rose Ceremony?

- One going home each time.
- No, hang on a minute.

There were supposed to be four,
but Rosie left.

(Dani) People are definitely
more nervous tonight.

Before the cocktail party
had started

I noticed that
Brigette was quite upset.

She definitely looked
really distressed.

And kind of sad.

Um, where's Brigette?

She's in the ladies'.

- 'Yeah.'
- 'Yeah.'

If you wanna go and join her

it's just down the hallway
and then turn left.

Maybe I go have a chat with her

and see how she's going on.

- Good idea.
- Please, excuse me.

That's nice of him to go
and look for her.

Yeah. Very sweet.
I hope she's okay.

He's a true gentleman.

- 'Definitely.'
- Oh, he is.

She'll be fine.

Maybe even better now.

[laughing]

- Hello.
- 'Hi.'

- Are you okay?
- 'Yeah.'

(Brigette)
'I'm good.'

There's nothing major.

There's lot's of little
tiny things added but I'm good.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm really happy
right now.

I wasn't really feeling
that well.

And I had a moment.

I had a female moment.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, look, Brigette's
come back out.

(Lisa) Not too sure if
Brigette disappearing

was little bit of a strategic
move on her part.

But if so, it definitely works

'cause she's getting time
with Arthur.

Yesterday you weren't feeling
that good either.

This is out of your comfort zone
and you get a little bit sick

a little bit sensitive,
it's a little bit..

- Yeah. Not 100 percent.
- So yeah.

So I didn't feel 100 percent
and then you throw that

in the mix of being
what we're doing right now.

In a completely different place

with a whole bunch of people
you don't know.

Yeah. It's hard.
You don't realize.

It's tough, it's tough
on everyone, isn't it?

- Like, I..
- So you just tough it up and..

- Be fine.
- Yeah.

What doesn't kill you
makes you stronger.

- Yeah.
- Lucky two will be outta here.

[laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

(female #5)
I'm not that confident

that I'm going to get
a rose tonight.

Purely because I haven't had
any time with him.

What are we gonna do?

Give me 30 seconds.

I feel like he takes
the people on the date

'that he either
really is intrigued by'

'wants to get to know more'

or he's not sure about.

He'll get there, do the group
and be like, "Yeah."

Or he, he could take you
on the group date

and then be like,
"You know what? No."

"You're not my type. Get out."

Strategy tonight
is not to be a scardey-cat

and put myself out there
and try my best to talk to him.

This is bit overwhelming
I think.

Yeah.

I think that
there are going to be two girls

going home tonight.

And I need to step up

go over there and talk to him.

Boom! Lara Croft on that.

- Yeah.
- Hi, hon.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- How's it going?

- Good. Good, good.
- Yeah?

Hey, stranger.

- No, no, no. Okay.
- Alright.

It's fine.
I'll sit here.

And I wanted to bring
something out with you.

Go on.

The name "Arthur",
I was like "Arthur"

I was like,
everything was perfect.

You know, when I found
you know, was Arthur?

So what can we call you

that's not Arthur?

Brigette, that is so rough.

Most people will call me
Art or Arty.

Yeah, we can go with that.

(Alysha) I was hoping
for the one-on-one.

Well, I think we should make
our way to the party.

Come on, let's go.

I'm glad I did go over there
and at least I've made

that contact with him.

But I don't know
if it's gonna be enough.

I don't think he knows me
at all at the moment.

(Arthur) The cocktail party
is a very intense situation.

I'm not sure
if some of the girls

are really handling
that pressure well.

- How's it going?
- It's good.

Yeah? Do you mind if I steal
Kristie away for a chat?

If was Kristie right now
I would feel

a little bit worried.

I think we really hadn't,
we, uh, chat with you yet.

(Lisa) Cristy hasn't
really had much one-on-one

or group discussions
on I think with Arthur.

But, you know, leaves us all a
little bit deflated at the table

that we didn't get
that one-on-one time.

Are you alright with everything?

Um, I just finding it a
little bit hard to be myself

around in this environment.

'It's just a bit different,
you know?'

I'm finding, I've got
a wall up I guess

and I just, I'm struggling
to, to be me.

It's hard.
It really is, for me.

And I didn't expect
it to be like this at all.

And it's not,
it's not you what so ever.

'Cause I don't even know you.

Like, I haven't even had
a chance to

'to chat at all.'

Hello, you two.

Hi.

Quite possibly the worst moment

comes in Natalie.

Do you mind if I just jump in

and join your convo

'or just chill out?'

- You and come sit by my side.
- 'Is that okay?'

- Go for it.
- Alright.

Yep.

Go girl.

You go, girlfriend.

I might..

- You sure?
- Yeah. That's--

- Am I replacing you?
- Yeah, that's fine.

- Okay. Is it alright?
- Yeah, totally.

No problem.
Thanks for the talk.

(Natalie)
And as soon as I got there

I knew that

that was not the right time

to go in.

I'm standing there
feeling like an idiot.

'cause I've just broken in on
this obviously very serious

emotional conversation.

And I just stood there
and tried to hide myself

a little bit.

- That's alright. Thank you.
- 'Oh, baby.'

I'm still good. Thank you.

(Natalie)
I feel really bad.

Did I just interrupt
something really--

Yeah, it was quite intense.

Oh, no. No, no, no.
No, no, no.

- I feel really bad about that.
- Yeah.

That was terrible timing,
wasn't it?

It was quite bad timing.

[laughs]

I'm so sorry.

No, it's okay.
No, no, no.

You-you had no idea.
It was fine.

Felt really emotional,
really serious.

- I know.
- Really quick.

(Natalie) I just thought
that I wasn't gonna

bust on anyone..

...but I figured that our
chances are running really short

opportunities are becoming
very, very small.

What's the real you?

I don't... need to be

completely glammed up
all the time.

Got to know me a little bit,
so it was really really good

to have that one-on-one time
that I haven't had

the whole time I've been here.

I don't regret what I did

because I got the conversation
that I needed.

- Let's get back.
- 'So nice to talk to you.'

Yeah, no, it was good talk
to you too.

I feel the same way when
I talk to him, I'm feeling, like

he wants to get to see
what we're like first, like..

- How's everything going?
- 'Good.'

(Arthur) Tonight's Rose Ceremony
is gonna be really tough.

Going into it
I still haven't made my mind up

as to which girls
are gonna receive a rose

and which girls I'm gonna
have to say goodbye to.

(Natasha) Going into the
Rose Ceremony tonight

I'm definitely not confident.

He doesn't know me

and I haven't spent any time

or talked to him.

I'm not safe at all tonight
so, um

my heart is going like this.

And it was a lot different
to last week.

(Chrystal) There's a
good chunk of everyone

telling them themselves
that they're going home

so I'm gonna just,
"Yeah, I'm gonna get a rose."

(Mike) Coming up at
the Rose Ceremony..

(female #5)
That's literally very scary.

(Mike) Which girls will
leave the mansion tonight?

(Lisa)
It's a weird form of torture.

(Danielle L.) Chrystal would
feel the same about Arthur

as she would the handbag.

[instrumental music]

Good evening, ladies.
You all look incredible.

(all)
Thank you.

Well, it's been quite
an eventful first week

'here on "The Bachelor
New Zealand."'

'Poppy, you were on
a single date this week.'

And, Dani, I guess receiving
a single rose on the group date

'would've made you feel
more relaxed tonight.'

'Well, congratulations, girls.'

Tonight you're safe.

For the rest for you
who did not receive a rose

our bachelor has 13 to hand
out tonight.

Which means two of you
will be leaving the mansion.

'I wish you the best of luck.'

It's time to bring in Arthur.

(female #6) We're heading into the
Rose ceremony but I'm quite nervous.

I'm not sure if I'm going
to get a rose.

(Chrystal)
I hope I get a rose tonight

I wanna get to know
Arthur better.

(Christy)
It's literally very scary.

(Natasha) I don't think
I deserve a rose tonight

but I would like a rose tonight.

I just wanna say, thank you
for the last few days.

'It's been great getting
to know you all a lot better.'

[intense music]

Brigette.

A sympathy rose.

- Thank you.
- No.

I haven't offered it to you yet.

Brigette, this is not
a sympathy rose.

Will you accept this rose?

Um, yes.

- 'Thank you very much.'
- 'Thank you.'

[music continues]

- Previous ceremony I was last.
- I'm getting anxious.

(Lisa) Little bit
nerve-wrecking actually.

Kristie, with a K.

(Lisa) Standing patiently for
Arthur to call out my name.

It's a weird form of torture.

(Amanda) I kind of feel
a little bit positive

that I'm gonna get a rose.

- Matilda.
- Yay!

(Lisa)
Don't forget me Arthur.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

(Lisa) I would love to stay
and get to know Arthur more.

I'm a little bit
nervous about it.

Amanda.

(Amanda) I was so
excited, I was like, yay!

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

[instrumental music]

Lisa.

When I was called, Lisa's
walking up the red carpet

I'm stoked.

Lisa, will you accept this rose?

Hell, yes.

- Great.
- Thanks, love.

[intense music]

(Chrystal)
There's still a few roses left.

I'm pretty sure one's
got my name on it.

(Natasha) I do not feel sorry for
Arthur, he has all the roses.

(Shivani) The fact that I told
him that I won't be kissing him

may put me at a disadvantage.

Chrystal.

Chrystal, will you accept
this rose?

Yes, I will.

Sorry, I forgot to kiss you.

(Matilda) It was a bit
of an odd response.

Not very nice.

(Danielle L.) Chrystal would
feel the same about Arthur

as she would the handbag.

[dramatic music]

(Hayley) I don't feel like I'm
gonna receive a rose tonight.

(Alysha) I haven't
had any time with him.

Natalie.

[instrumental music]

Natalie, will you
accept this rose?

I definitely will, thank you.

- Hayley.
- Yes.

(Arthur)
'Will you accept this rose?'

Yes, you've definitely
put a smile on my face.

Carissa.

Carissa, will you accept
this rose?

- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you.

(Alysha) It's either
meant to be or it's not.

He either wants me
around or he doesn't.

Shivani.

(Danielle L.) I'm feeling pretty
nervous, I'm really not sure

if I've done enough
to get a rose tonight.

(Danielle B.) If I don't get a rose
tonight, I am going to be disappointed.

Danielle..

(Danielle B.)
I'm not quite ready to go yet.

...B.

(Danielle L.) It's the exact
opposite of the previous

Rose Ceremony,
I was nice and safe.

(Cristy) I'm feeling
really, really nervous.

I still haven't been called,
it is very nerve wracking.

As Arthur starts to get closer
and closer to the last rose

"Oh, wow, this really
could be my last night."

[intense music]

Alysha.

You gotta stop
leaving me till last.

Alysha, will you accept
this rose?

Oh, of course, I will.

(Danielle L.) When there's
just one rose left I'm thinking

"Well, that's it I'm gone."

(Cristy) I'm pretty sure
that I'm going home tonight.

(Natasha)
It is scary.

[intense music]

And this last rose
is for Danielle.

Danielle, will you accept
this rose?

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

Cristy and Natasha,
you did not receive a rose.

Please take a moment
to say your goodbyes.

Arthur, good luck
with everything. Bye-bye.

(Natasha) I'm really happy
that I was true to myself

and did get to know
some of the girls

in the short time I've had.

Just wanted to say,
all the best.

You've got some amazing
beautiful girls here

and you're a really
great guy so know

you're gonna have
a fantastic time.

Thanks so much.

[instrumental music]

(Cristy) The toughest thing
about going home tonight

is I didn't get to meet
Arthur properly

and I didn't get to know
him that well.

I just want him
to find someone that's

genuinely here for him
and I think there's

a number of girls that are.

[instrumental music]

(Mike)
Next time on "The Bachelor.."

- Hi, how are you?
- Good, how are you?

(Mike) Arthur unveils
a jaw dropping date.

- Oh, my God, it looks amazing!
- Yeah.

(Mike) But will Matilda lay
it all on the line for him?

- ****
- 'Three, two..'

- Go!
- 'Go, fast, fast, fast..'

(Mike)
Rivalry on the track.

- That's quick change up.
- Don't gas it. Don't gas it.

(Mike)
Skids out of control.

(Dani) 'Today is gonna
be blonde against blonde'

and teacher against teacher.

Good luck, girls.

Oh, shh, just try and listen.

(Mike) As the race for
Arthur's affections..

- Hello
- Hi!

I was hoping I could steal you.

Builds to a collision
at the cocktail party.

No, I don't think so.

I could not be more
afraid right now.

[dramatic music]
