The Bachelor NZ (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

(narrator)
Previously on "The Bachelor"

Alysha played hard to get.

(Arthur) I ask Alysha for a
kiss, and she says no.

Part of me almost wants to
save it for

if we go on another date
or something.

Whether or not we will have
that moment.

I guess time will only tell.

Evening.

(narrator)
At the cocktail party--

May I steal Arthur?

(narrator)
Chrystal was up to her



usual party tricks.

I'm just thinking,
just back off.

Would you give us like,
a minute or two?

(Kristie) And she still
just stands there.

Okay, wrap up.

[dramatic music]

(narrator)
But Kristie came up trubs.

[swoosh]

Unbelievable.

(narrator)
And at the rose ceremony

a shock double elimination.

Carissa and Bridgette
are sent home.

Things are getting pretty real.

(narrator) Tonight,
Arthur splashes out on a pool party



but jealousy drives a wedge.

I'd keep an eye on her, ladies.

(narrator)
Pushing some girls

into deep water.

I'm not gonna kiss you, okay?

- Didn't wanna kiss you anyway.
- Well good, I'm glad.

(narrator)
And on the luxury single date

Wow! This is really cool.

(narrator) Natalie and
Arthur take the plunge.

I'm just thinking I'm one of the
luckiest guys in the world.

(narrator)
Then at a feisty cocktail party

Alysha fronts up to Chrystal.

I was very offended.

Thank god we're not at
that table.

(Alysha) Cracks are
really starting to appear.

[instrumental music]

(Arthur) The past few
weeks have been a whirlwind

of dates, and so much fun.

But I've also made very strong

connections with some
of the girls.

I'm definitely surprised
by what I'm feeling.

And there are still girls I
feel like I don't really know.

So I need to make some
time for them as well.

[instrumental music]

(Poppy)
I can't believe that two girls

went at the last rose ceremony.

- I know..
- Funny thing.

(Chrystal) 'Did not see
that one coming at all.'

(Dani) I have no idea what
Art has up his sleeve.

I'm just gonna stop guessing

just to save myself the anxiety.

I've got a trick for you guys.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah?

[cheering]

Kristie pulls the card out from

behind her back, sneaky move.

I found this this morning.

(Alysha)
I am assuming that it is going

to be a single date card
with a twist.

[instrumental music]

If you want my attention,
make a splash.

- Oh!
- Oh, my God!

(Dani)
'A diving competition.'

Jumpin'.

I'm really hoping
someone is pouring me

a cocktail and it's like
splashing in my cup.

[instrumental music]

Group date.

[screaming]

(Dani)
Group date?

None of us were expecting that.

I'm so happy that
it's a group date

'cause it might be me going.

(Chrystal)
I am the group date queen.

I don't get left out.

Alright, the first girl.

Poppy.

Yay.

I haven't really had time

to get to know Arthur properly.

I'm staring at the card like
please be me.

Danielle.

Yay.

Amanda.

[cheering]

Yes.

And there are two names
to be called.

Matilda.

(Matilda)
I'm so happy, just can't wait

to spend a little bit
more time with Art.

And the final girl

going on the group date

Chrystal.

[cheering]

(Dani) Chrystal says she wants
to swap places with someone

so she doesn't have to
go on the group date.

Chrystal's a dick sometimes.

Chrystal, stop complaining.

Oh well,
go pack your bikinis ladies.

(Dani) Not happy about
being left at home.

I just want to splash right now

and I'm not so I'm not
very happy about it.

[upbeat music]

(Arthur) So far the
group dates have shown

the girls' competitive side.

I'm also interested to see

who is able to just chill out
and have fun.

- Hi.
- Oh, my God.

(Arthur) It should show
me who I can really

relax with in the future.

Today is a perfect day
for us to just chill out.

[cheering]

- There's no catch?
- 'No catch.'

We're just chilling out?

Just chilling out.

Oh, this is amazing.

(Poppy)
When Arthur says that

there's no catch, I could

squeeze him so hard,
I'm so happy.

[water splashing]

(Amanda) My initial
thought's pretty much

take your clothes off Arthur,
let me see that body.

Arthur looks insanely hot.

Those abs are out to play today.

(Arthur)
I've invited some of the girls

that I think will all get along.

Danielle's still recovering
from an ankle sprain

so she's just
lounging in the sun.

Danielle got the..

because Art double bounced her

on the jump date.

[ominous music]

Guys.

(Arthur)
Matilda's quite competitive.

I haven't seen her
competitive side before.

Wow! Just a friendly little game
I'm coming over there.

Chrystal doesn't seem
too enthused

about joining in on
the pool activities.

She doesn't really seem to
mingle with the other girls.

(Matilda) She's kind of just
taking a nap in the sun.

Not much point of her being
there, really.

Amanda and I,
we're doing really well

in the volleyball game,
we're absolutely killing it.

Until Art says,
okay swap sides now.

[indistinct chatter]

Amanda and I can't even stand
up on that side

so we're kind of
like treading water

at the same time
as trying to play.

[coughing]

(Arthur)
It's quite funny

trying to watch them play.

I'm gonna drown.

It's harder than it looks.

I think I would've died.

Anyway.

(Arthur) We finish up
the, uh, games in the pool

and there's one person that
I really

do want to
have a little chat with.

(Arthur) 'Poppy,
would you like to have a chat?'

- For serious Arthur, I would--
- Would you like to have a chat.

- 'Cause I'd like to have a--
- I'd like to talk to your face.

(Poppy) Arthur asks
me if I'd like to go

and spend some one-on-one time.

It was great to see that
he wanted to speak to me.

- Seat I arranged.
- Oh, comfy.

How's everything going?

It was a real shock being

the last four at
the last rose ceremony.

I did think I was going home.

I prepared what I was
going to say to you.

- Did you?
- Yep.

I'm not gonna say it right now.

- Don't say it.
- I'm still gonna sa-save it.

Don't say it.

I'm sorry..

...to even make you think that.

I think Poppy is struggling a
little bit

just with the whole situation.

I don't think she feels
completely comfortable.

How's it been for you..

...with the other girls
coming back

from their one-on-one dates?

I've always known..

...where I stand.

You stand quite highly
in my books.

[laughing]

- 'Yeah.'
- Okay.

(Poppy) It gets to a
point in the conversation

where naturally
I would want to kiss him.

[instrumental music]

- Are you all good?
- Yes, I'm all good.

- I'm good, I'm fine.
- 'Okay, good.'

I just feel like um

I'm not gonna kiss you okay?

That's all,
I just wanted to say that.

I just feel really awkward
right now.

- I just, I'm not gonna do it.
- Good.

I feel like,
it needed to come out.

I'm not sharing you with
all of these other girls.

Until I'm still here

if the numbers are down.

- I'm not kissing you.
- Alright.

Alright,
just putting it out there.

(Arthur)
'Deal.'

- Deal.
- Yeah, deal. Alright.

Good, I like that.

- Okay.
- 'Good.'

Didn't want to kiss you anyway.

Well good, I'm glad, 'cause

I wasn't gonna kiss you back.

- It would've been awkward.
- I hate kissing anyway.

- Yeah. Nobody likes kissing.
- So it's fine. Yuck.

[chimes music]

(Arthur) Today has been
one of the best days ever.

This is quite a good
opportunity to

get to know the girls
a little bit better.

Has everyone done one thing
a day that scares them?

Poppy says that every day

you should do something that
scares you.

You still need to dive,
don't you?

- 'Yes.'
- Yes.

(Arthur)
I know that Matilda can't dive

so I decide to put her
on the spot

and see what she can do.

(Matilda) I'm a little bit
scared about my first diving

experience to be in front of
Arthur.

Okay.

[screaming]

It's just funny, I've never met
anyone that can't dive.

[water splashing]

[laughing]

Okay wait, do it like this.

[dramatic music]

So you're, you're like this, and
then you just jump like that.

[water splashing]

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

(female #1)
'Good to know it.'

(Arthur)
'That was it, that was a dive.'

It, it actually looked quite
good, though.

And she did it, today's the
day she learned how to dive.

- I can dive. I can dive.
- 'Yeah.'

(Amanda)
'You can dive!'

I'm pretty much
an Olympic diver.

[water splashing]

Yes!

[instrumental music]

(Alysha) 'It really is
just gonna be maybe'

at the beach or something,
just having a bit of fun

and plenty of time for
him to talk with girls.

Have you noticed that he
hasn't sent anyone home

who's been on a single date?

I know, I've realized that.

Which makes me scared

'because I haven't had
a single date.'

- Doesn't make it easier for me.
- I know.

Not having been on
a single date yet, but--

No, I think you're fine,
I think you're safe.

I'd date you.

So do you have any
strategies moving forward?

- To not be a scaredy cat.
- Yeah.

And just go and talk to him
more, I think.

Do you think
because we're both teachers

we're pretty tolerable
to the situations.

Around us at the moment?
Would you say that?

Definitely more patient of

certain characters like within
the household.

- Yeah.
- It's hard, hey?

I've been sitting back
the entire time

and a couple of days
ago I decided no more.

It does get quite bitchy
and quite catty

which I'm not used to and
I don't like it at all.

And I think it's also
key to make sure you try

and stay neutral to all
the drama as well.

I'm gonna snap if I don't
tell someone what to do.

Yeah.

I need somebody to
rub sunscreen onto my back

so who better than Arthur?

(Arthur) I still haven't spent
that much time with Danielle

so I don't feel
like I know her that well.

She's sort of been in the
background up until now.

Danielle, I was actually
wondering if maybe

you want to go have
a chat over there?

I guess I'll let you go.

- Are you gonna be okay to walk?
- Yeah.

Do you want me to carry you?

Yeah, actually.

[laughing]

(Danielle) I feel like
there are definitely

people ahead of me
at the moment.

I'm still finding my way

I'm really struggling

to open myself up emotionally.

Okay, my turn, pick me up now.

- Yeah.
- And take me away.

I'd keep an eye on her, ladies.

I knew she was a dark horse.

I always say
she's got a wild side.

I know that with a lot of
the other girls

it's kind of easier for them
to sort of open up to you

and I might be a little
bit harder to get to know.

I didn't even realize that you

struggle with
that sort of thing.

I just sort of..

I just find you
really interesting.

Oh, thank you.

And I love talking to you, so.

- Me too.
- Yeah.

What do you think they're
talking about?

Take a moment to eavesdrop.

So you must be finding this
really hard.

Yeah, it's,
it's really difficult.

What's the toughest part of it?

So far, the toughest
part has been last night

and seeing everyone..

...so sad.

Two girls went home,
and everyone was crying.

- And I felt like I..
- You felt like--

I felt like, I broken up

you know, a friendship.

Just like, just, just seeing

everyone so upset
is just like... pretty tough.

(Danielle)
Arthur is surprisingly

open and he seems to be quite
in touch with his feelings.

Which I find unusual for guys.

There's definitely the potential

for more of a connection.

I'll carry you back down.

My foot's hurting again.

[laughing]

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I could get used to this.
Hi, girls.

I am really quite
impressed with Danielle.

Um, she's really driven,
intelligent

and quite successful.

She's someone that I really
like to get to know more.

Chuck her in the pool.

(Danielle)
He was just so charming

and really, really easy to
talk to.

I definitely feel like a
bit of a smitten kitten.

[sizzling]

(Arthur)
I fire up the barbie

and, uh, get some meat on there.

I'm not too bad on the barbeque.

Uh, so hopefully I can
impress the girls.

It makes such a difference
having a good cut of steak.

(Amanda) While Arthur is
cooking, I'm thinking

you best not be
overcooking them.

'Cause I'm gonna take over.

Okay, rare, rare, medium rare,
medium.

(Amanda)
This better be good.

I think you girls
are gonna be impressed.

My last two boyfriends
have been chefs.

Crap, really?

You've turned them
a couple of times now.

(Arthur) No, no,
I've turned them all once.

(Matilda)
A man who can cook good food

is definitely impressive
in my books.

'As amazing as it is um'

not quite medium rare,
but still so delicious.

Wait.

Oh, it is in the middle. Okay.

I stand corrected, yeah.

Someone's gonna retract
that last comment then, huh?

[laughing]

It's retracted, I apologize.

I really want one-on-one time
with Arthur

but the sun is going down and
the day is coming to an end

so I'm hoping that a miracle
happens.

- Cheers.
- Here's to the top nine.

[laughing]

- Top nine.
- Top five today.

Matilda, would you like
to have a quick chat?

- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah?

- Yeah, let's go.
- 'Alright.'

Please excuse us.

I'm wondering why I haven't had

one-on-one time with Arthur.

I feel more intimidated because
there's

less girls now,
so the pressure's on.

Cheers to the funnest date ever.

Oh, cheers, thank you.

And one thing that I haven't
told you yet.

Oh, here we go.

I don't know if you remember--

Are we talking about you making
a haiku?

A haiku, yeah, well I made up..

(Matilda)
A haiku is a Japanese poem

that's three lines long

and, um, the first line has
five syllables

then seven, and then five.

- So are you ready?
- Yeah.

[clears throat]

- Matilda's doing her haiku.
- Oh!

- Lovely.
- Listen.

- Okay, I'm ready.
- Okay.

This tropical storm.

Makes my heart go boom for you.

[mellow music]

Give me a rose now.

[laughing]

Give me a rose now.

And, and that was the haiku.

It's brilliant.

Well, I have to now, don't I?

The haiku worked.

Aw!

Aw! Thank you so much, I can
hold that if you want.

There you go.

[laughing]

Matilda..

...will you accept this rose?

Yes, I will.

[laughing]

[romantic music]

Oh well ladies,
that's one safe this week.

(Matilda) I'm really
excited to get a rose

it just kind of cements

my feelings,
it makes me feel safe.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

- Hello Mike.
- Hi.

(Mike)
'Hello ladies.'

- Hi.
- Hi.

How are you all feeling today?

[indistinct chatter]

There's only nine of you
left, so ladies it's game on.

[screaming]

I'm gonna leave you with this.

- Thanks Mike.
- Thanks Mike.

- And good luck.
- Good luck? Do we need it?

[indistinct chatter]

I would love to be on this date

I would love to be on all of
the dates.

Right, someone get that.

- Shall I do the honors?
- Yeah.

(Kristie) It's a little
bit scary now for me

having not had
a one-on-one date.

He's forming relationships with

the other girls and not with me.

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

We'll set sail before
the sun sets.

I'm hoping it's either
a single date

or a group date,
and my name is on it.

And it's a single date.

[screaming]

Oh, my God, I so think it's Nat.
Natie, Natie ..

(Natalie) I think it's gonna be
Kristie, 'cause she got

given the rose at the last
cocktail party.

If it's not Kristie there'd be

daggers shooting
out of her eyes.

And the single date goes to..

Natalie.

[cheering]

Nat's name is read out,
and she looks terrified.

I'm scared.

[indistinct chatter]

The anticipation has
almost been like so much

it's ju-just made me like,
frightened of the whole thing.

Be excited.

- Should I? Yeah.
- 'Yeah.'

(Danielle) I'm a little bit
surprised at just how nervous

Natalie is about going on
a single date with Art

because after all that's
what we're here for.

[indistinct chatter]

(Kristie) Since Natalie's
feeling nervous I would

totally trade places with her.

[instrumental music]

(Natalie) I've never had
a proper boyfriend before.

I just haven't found someone
that I'm able to click with

and just be totally comfortable
with, and totally hippie with.

This day,
it's a kind of a, a big deal.

- Nat. Hi.
- Oh my God, hi.

(Natalie) Arthur's standing
on the roof of this beautiful

big yacht, it was amazing.

This is our yacht for
this evening.

- It's beautiful.
- Come on down and jump on.

- Okay.
- I'll meet you down there.

I ran up and turned out

we're on Michael Hill's
super yacht.

(Arthur)
I've chosen Natalie for

the date today,
she's a lot of fun.

I'm hoping to find out if

there's any chemistry between us

if there is that physical and
emotional connection there.

[instrumental music]

We've got an incredible date
planned

for this beautiful boat,
and I've got this incredibly

beautiful girl sharing the day
with me.

I'm really looking forward
to it.

[music continues]

Have you ever imagined
going under

the harbor bridge in a boat
like this?

(Natalie) I never ever thought
that I'd be doing this ever

'and I wasn't even gonna come.'

What do you mean you
weren't even gonna come?

Well, I was scared to come.

I wasn't going to.

- Well you shouldn't be scared.
- I was freaking out.

(Natalie) He's a lovely guy,
it's a beautiful setting.

I've never had an experience

close to this
in my whole entire life.

Have you ever
paddle boarded before?

No.

Well, we've got
some paddle boards.

[laughing]

- Oh, my God, you read my mind.
- Yeah.

I've always wanted to go.

Yeah okay, let's get in.

Let's go.

(Arthur)
So the boat moors up,

and I ask Nat if she'd like

to jump off the side 'cause

I thought it'd be a lot of fun.

(Natalie) We're like four
stories up at this stage

and it's really, really high.

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

I'm standing on the edge
of this boat

and I can't back down now.

Three, two, one, go.

[screaming]

Oh, my God.

(Arthur)
We hit the water quite hard.

We resurface and I'm kind of

like spitting out bits of tooth.

(Natalie)
I think so.

And then I touched my mouth
and I chipped

a tooth somehow, don't know how.

I just was screaming,
and then I jumped

and I landed, and and..

I-I.. Don't know.

(Arthur) I was quite worried,
but luckily she wasn't

too phased by it
and just carried on.

I'm fine, it's nothing major.

[instrumental music]

(Natalie)
So we had done our jump

and it was time to get on

to the paddle boards.

So he kind of helps me onto them

because they were a little
shaky.

And I'm like hell yes,
let's do this.

[screaming]

[music continues]

Whoo-hooo!

It's a lot harder than
I think it's gonna be.

Where you.. Get away!

But I get the hang of it
pretty fast, and I'm loving it.

[laughing]

(Arthur)
Paddle boarding is incredible.

And it's not every day
that you get to

do that on sunset
off a super yacht.

Yeah, I'm doing it right around
the boat.

Around the boat!

(Arthur) And I must
say that Nat is looking

incredible on the paddle board.

She's tall, and elegant,
and beautiful.

(Natalie) I am super
proud that I can do it.

I didn't want to look like
an idiot and fall off.

[water splashing]

He's the one that falls off.

[romantic music]

So we get back onto
the super yacht

and I'm freezing by this stage

and there just happens
to be a beautiful outside

warm water shower,
so we jump under there

and warm ourselves up.

(Arthur) The first time
Nat and I get quite close--

[indistinct chatter]

(Natalie) Never did I think
on the very first date.

I would be showering
with Arthur.

[instrumental music]

It is blowing my mind.

(Arthur) It's just the
most romantic moment ever.

I'm just thinking I'm one of
the luckiest guys in the world.

[romantic piano music]

[instrumental music]

(Arthur) I would like to see
if there's any romance between

Nat and I, so I've organized

a romantic dinner
up on the top deck.

This is beautiful.

Look at you, you're doing well.
Aw!

So it's all very beautiful

and there's a nice dinner

of salmon sitting there.

[instrumental music]

I love all type of

seafood other than salmon.

[laughing]
Put some salmon in there.

I've got some other items.
Go nuts on the broccoli.

(Natalie) Yeah obviously
he didn't know that

but it was fine,
I didn't complain.

Do you like olives?

I don't like olives either.

I'm not a fussy eater,
but these just happen to be

the two things
I honestly don't eat.

Sundried tomato, though.

Don't really like that either.

Bit of a disaster, tad hungry

but I'll deal with it.

Before we get stuck in, cheers.

I'd like to cheers to you.

Cheers to me.

Yeah, I would like to cheers

to how, to how beautiful
you look.

This is the first date
that she's ever been on

and she's not used to
this sort of attention.

So I'm just giving her
a couple of compliments

because she looks incredible.

I don't think you realize how..

...beautiful you are.

Thank you.

Thank you. You keep saying that.

He compliments me all the time,
and I hate it.

I hate getting compliments
because

I get really awkward
around them.

You're such a babe, and
you don't even realize it.

Stop it.

It's all a little-little bit
too much.

Did you ever think that you'd

come on a date on a super yacht?

No, not at all.

Like I wouldn't necessarily be
like

yep, I want to go
on a super yacht

and it's like super extravagant.

This isn't something that
I would usually pick.

But now that I'm here,
I'm not gonna say no.

Nat seems to be a little bit
uncomfortable

so I decide to take her
downstairs to get a bit cozy

and see if sparks fly, I guess.

[romantic music]

(Natalie) There's cute little
lounge setup, and there's

strawberries and chocolate
and it's all very intimate.

Today I have been with
you for your first sail

on a super yacht, your first
paddle boarding experience.

- And your first chipped tooth.
- Mm-hmm.

And my first date

if you would call this a date.

- I'd call this a date.
- Yeah.

I feel very lucky to be on
your first date with you.

Thank you.

Arthur has done a pretty
good job of today.

He's definitely boyfriend
material.

It's been amazing though

it truly has been... crazy.

- It makes me really happy.
- Yeah.

Do you know what else would
make me happy?

Yay!

You have honestly made me
so happy today.

Thank you.

(Arthur)
'You'd make me even happier'

if you would accept this rose.

Oh, I don't know if I can

but I think I shall

no thank you very much,
thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, my god,
I'm so happy with this.

(Arthur) So I decided to give
Nat a wee kiss on the lips.

As soon as I did that,
her whole behavior changes.

- Just try to relax.
- Just relax.

I'm not very good at relaxing.

I just want to say to you, I..

No, I'm not even gonna say it.

You can't say it
and then not say it.

It's a weird thing to say.

- Just say it.
- No, it's a weird thing to say.

Yeah, I kind of had this
weird cheesy speech.

I'm just having a little bit
of a personal moment right now.

And then I stop myself,
and I was like no, no no, no

I'll just keep,
I'll just keep my mouth shut.

What were you gonna say?

I wanna know now.

(Arthur) It's a real shame that
the night's ended like this

because I've had
such a fun date with Nat

and she's great,
and so much fun.

But I feel like she's
really holding back from me.

It just got weird.

[instrumental music]

So Nat didn't get back
'til really late last night.

- What time?
- About two am.

Nothing good happens
after midnight.

You would know.

- Yeah, and you would not.
- No.

(Matilda) Alysha and Chrystal,
a little bit awkward.

I was just like, oh, God.

Nat!

(Dani)
'Hi.'

How's it going?

Start from the very beginning.

I'm walking along
and I hear Nat!

And I look, and Art's standing

on the roof of
like a super yacht.

(Alysha)
Nat has come home and it seems

like the nerves have gone away.

So, she obviously had
an amazing time.

We're just having a chat
and he goes

have you ever been
paddle boarding?

And I said no.

(Amanda)
Natalie's date sounds amazing.

I'm really jealous. No!

And then he gave me a rose.

[cheering]

So it was actually really fun.

- Was that all he gave you?
- Yep.

Did you give him something?

What are you hinting on here?

- Come on.
- Um.

(Natalie)
'No, not really.'

He went in for a kiss

and I kind of like pecked him

and then pulled away
a little bit.

Oh, my God, please tell
me there's not another

I'm not kissing you,
Arthur speech.

So there was no speeches about

why you're not gonna kiss him?

(Alysha)
Chrystal makes a comment

and it is a blatant dig

at me and my reasonings

for not wanting to kiss Art
on the first date.

(Dani)
Alysha is not impressed.

Like, her face is like,
devil's eyes.

(Kristie)
Alysha looks super bummed.

Tonight's cocktail party

is gonna involve
a few altercations.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

(Natalie) The cocktail
party tonight is a bit

strange actually,
it runs quite quiet

and it feels quite tense.

[music continues]

(Alysha)
Now there are only six roses

things are getting down
to the wire.

Hello.

How is everyone?

(Danielle)
I'm feeling really worried.

It's only Kristie and I that

haven't had single dates now.

Nat, I was wondering if I
could borrow you for a chat?

Sure.

- Hello again.
- Hello again.

Oh no, I'm taller than you,
what?

Wow, so he's pulling Nat away

for a chat straight after her
date?

I know,
that's never happened before.

(Matilda)
We're all kind of thinking

that's really weird because

they've literally just got back.

Maybe he wants to finish the
kiss that they didn't have.

Surprised you're talking to me,
actually.

Thought you would've been
scoping one of the other

girls that didn't have roses
already.

- Oh really?
- Yeah.

Even after yesterday I'm still

not sure I'm still trying to
suss you out.

I feel like you've got bad news
for me.

No, I don't have bad news.

Do you remember at the end of
the night

and you said you were
gonna say something to me?

Oh, I knew you were
gonna ask me about that.

No, all I was gonna say was
like I don't really

like to kiss on the first date

because I know
there's total eight girls

in the house, and I don't
want to get too involved

when there's like
a million people around.

I'm just safeguarding myself
a little bit

and that's what I was gonna say.

And then I was like,
no that's kind of weird.

So then I didn't say it.

- No, that's not weird.
- Yeah.

So what's your predictions
for tonight?

I honestly have no idea,
every rose ceremony

I get this anxiety that it's me.

I'm really gonna try and talk
to Art at the cocktail party.

It's pretty much everyone out
for themselves.

I'd like to shoot somebody
in the head with that.

You're freaking me out,
right now I'm like

I'm feel you're gonna be
like give me the rose back

I don't wanna..
I don't want you to have it.

- No.
- Okay, relax now.

Jeez Nat, just relax.

- I know, I'm trying.
- I know you are.

I'm trying my best.

- I know, you are. Yeah.
- Okay, I'm good.

What do you reckon about
the comment

Chrystal made to you earlier
this morning?

I find it disrespectful,
'cause I think

that is my decision whether I
want to kiss someone.

I respected her decision,
she needs to respect mine.

I'm not sure if I'm going
to talk to

Chrystal tonight about
what was said.

No!

I need a second date
before I can kiss you.

If I had an opportunity,
I would totally kiss him

and if they want to judge
me then that's fine.

Just kiss him, because there
may not be a second date.

I'm hoping they don't get
a second date, you know.

Cheers.

(Natalie) 'Who would
you like to grab next?'

I'd only thought as far as you

because I want to see
how you were.

Aw, thank you,
that's very thoughtful of you.

- Hello.
- Hi guys.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Alysha, can I steal you away?

Of course you can.

Just a helping hand.

You look lovely,
you look like a little princess.

(Amanda) 'I see that
he's taken Alysha away.'

Mark my words
that it'll either be

Alysha or Kristie going home
tonight.

[sighs]

I'm not ready to go home.

I'm not ready to go home either

and I really don't think we are.

[dramatic music]

There was a comment
made today that I didn't

particularly appreciate,
that I felt disrespected.

It was put across that
it was a tactic

that I chose not to
kiss you, and it wasn't.

It was something that I
wanted to save for us

you know, if we do get to
spend more time together.

(Chrystal) 'I wonder if
Alysha is spilling the beans.'

- About how much she hates us?
- Yeah.

Well, she doesn't hate you,
she hates me.

I just want you to be yourself.

Stick to what you believe in

and do your things, and I mean,
of course.

- Yeah.
- 'Cause it's you.

Yeah, it is, and I think--

And that's what I wanna know

is you, the real you, so--

You're gonna get me,
'cause there's no

there's... you either like me
or you don't.

I mean, if you don't like
me, fine.

Yeah, feel like we get along
pretty well.

- Yeah, so do I. It is easy huh.
- It's easy, hey? Yeah.

- It's easy and comfortable.
- Yeah.

- I'm just like comfortable--
- 'Cause we're both smartasses.

I love strong women,
and Alysha is really strong.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

(Arthur) There seems
to be a lot of tension

at the cocktail party tonight.

I'm not quite sure what's
going on with the girls.

(Dani) Quite interesting that they're
all sitting over there together.

- Is Alysha there too?
- Yeah.

I wonder if either of them
are gonna bring it up.

- Oh, yeah.
- I kind of hope they do.

What's going on over there?

Just a few words were
exchanged between

a couple of the girls earlier
today that I think

has caused a bit of
rising tension.

(Matilda) I think Arthur
is incredibly shocked.

I think he has no idea
what kind of happens

behind the scenes
at the mansion.

I did though, Chrystal

just want to ask you

and sort of clear the air
a little bit.

Like, I wasn't particularly

over the moon about the comment

you made today,
and I was very offended

because I feel like us girls

should be respecting
and supporting

each other's decisions.

I totally respect your, um,
opinion

your decision, your situation,
because that's--

(Kristie) 'The comment didn't
sound like you did respect.'

(Chrystal) 'I don't think
this is actually between you.'

'This is between me and Alysha.'

- Oh, I'll shut up then.
- 'Yeah.'

Oh, my god, thank God

we're not at that table.

Just like, God, really?

At the cocktail party
when Art's here?

Nice one girls, really classy.

You have to talk about them.

You have to approach the
subject and clear it

or it's just gonna build
and build and build

until it gets to a
point where it explodes.

I'm getting ear banged,
this is really boring.

Um... I am gonna
take the reins here

do you want to go for a chat?

- Love-love to.
- Okay cool, let's go.

(Poppy) It was pretty out
of the blue for Matilda

to say that she wanted to
spend some time with Arthur.

It's definitely going to
put her ahead of the game.

I'm surprised Matilda
grabbed him, actually.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that,
I thought that

'cause we kind of were like
yeah, we can chill out tonight

we can do what we want,
'cause we've got roses so

um, maybe she just wanted to

get something off her chest.

I'm getting the feeling that

everyone is scared of Chrystal.

[laughs]
It's not even..

It's not that at all,
it's it's just that like

um.. I feel, I feel like
I'm sort of bitching about her

but she just like,
tries to belittle people

and it's just really weird

I don't know why she does that.

Oh, I just don't think maybe

we'll never understand
each other.

- No, go babe, it's fine.
- Fine.

I would rather walk off
than sit here

and explain it again as well.

What's going through
my head is this.

(Chrystal)
I feel sorry for Amanda

I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Maybe we're not meant to
get along.

Well, maybe I shouldn't have
even approached

in the first place,
it was a waste of time.

Thank you for your opinion.

'I think we're done talking
about it right?'

- Yeah.
- Great.

Have a good night, ladies.

See you on the flip side.

(Alysha) So basically,
nothing really got cleared up,

I felt we were
just back to step one.

I'm disappointed and I'm gutted.

(Arthur)
And watch your step.

- Yeah, you watch yours.
- Yeah.

I did, thank you.

[laughing]

Aw, they're coming back to us.

- Back to the cool kids.
- Yeah, I was just..

- 'Nice little chat?'
- 'Yeah, good chat.'

(Matilda) 'Pretty glad I took
the reins and nabbed him.'

(Dani)
I'm kicking myself.

I'm actually kicking myself now.

why didn't I grab him?

(Amanda) When I hear the
cocktail party's over

I'm like what?

I'm not ready,
I haven't even spoken to him.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

(Arthur) Going into
tonight's rose ceremony.

I've got nine girls and I'm
gonna be saying good bye

to one of them, and it's
just not getting any easier.

[music continues]

Ladies, good evening.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Congratulations Matilda
and Natalie.

'You have nothing to
worry about tonight.'

- 'You can both relax.'
- Thanks.

For the seven of you remaining

tonight Arthur has six roses.

Which means one of you will be
leaving.

[music continues]

Ladies, good luck.

(Amanda) It's less girls
now, so the pressure's on.

(Alysha)
We almost all feel like

our heads are on
the chopping block.

(Chrystal) I think it
would be quite relaxing

if Alysha does go home.

All us naughty children
would be able

to cope without being told off.

[laughing]

- All yours.
- Thank you.

[dramatic music]

Thank you.

The last couple of dates

have been really enjoyable
for me.

'They've been
a lot more relaxed'

'and I feel like'

you girls have
let down your guard

and shown your true colors.

[music continues]

'And it's gonna make
tonight's decision'

for me so much more difficult.

[dramatic music]

(Kristie)
I'm a little bit nervous.

It's anybody's game tonight.

(Danielle) The longer I'm
here, the more

I would like to get
a rose from Arthur.

(Alysha) I will be gutted
if I don't get one.

This rose is for someone

that I feel has been

completely honest with me

and has really opened up.

Alysha.

Oh, first.

[laughing]

(Arthur) 'Alysha,
will you accept this rose?'

- Of course I will. Come here.
- Thank you.

[upbeat music]

[inhales deeply]

Kristie.

[instrumental music]

'Kristie,
will you accept this rose?'

(Kristie)
'Definitely.'

Chrystal.

(Chrystal) My name's
called, and I am happy, yay.

Chrystal,
will you accept this rose?

Yes, I will.

Thank you.

(Kristie)
Chrystal gets a rose after me

and she sort of waves her
rose around.

Shovin' it in their face,
I don't know

I think she's just being stupid.

[dramatic music]

(Dani) Feeling very
light-headed and very stressed

because I haven't got
a rose yet.

Poppy.

(Dani) I just keep telling
myself a rose is a rose

someone has to be last.

As long as I just blooming

get one of the things,
I'll be happy.

Poppy, will you accept
this rose?

- I will Arthur, thank you.
- Thank you.

(Dani) There's two roses
left, I'm still standing here.

(Amanda)
One of us is going home.

(Danielle) I never feel
like I'm going to be

the one getting the rose.

Dani.

Are you proud of me?
I didn't faint.

Did you almost faint just then?

No, I'm okay.

[chuckles]

Dani, will you accept this rose?

Of course I will,
thank you so much.

[dramatic music]

(Amanda)
We're down to the last rose

and I'm like sweating,

and my heart's pounding.

I've got anxiety

[sighs].

(Danielle)
I haven't had a single date.

Amanda had a great single date.

(Amanda)
I want a rose so badly.

I'm feeling unsure as hell.

(Danielle)
Well this is it, this is

the end of the road for me.

[instrumental music]

Danielle.

[music continues]

Danielle,
will you accept this rose?

Absolutely.

'Thank you Arthur.'

[dramatic music]

[mellow music]

Amanda,
you did not receive a rose

and your time at the mansion
has come to an end.

Please take a moment
to say your good byes.

[mellow music]

It's been so much fun.

- You're an amazing person.
- Thank you.

And I've really, really

loved getting to know you
over the last few weeks

and you only deserve good things
to happen to you.

Oh, thank you, that's so nice.

[mellow piano music]

[instrumental music]

I'm sad because I hope
Arthur makes

the right decision
with the woman he chooses.

I've actually learned
that there is

good guys out there,
you just need to wait.

Oh, my God, look at this.

(narrator)
Next time on "The Bachelor."

The bachelorettes go on tour.

So nice to be
in the new location.

(narrator)
Arthur takes a girl

to one of the most romantic
spots yet.

Then a ride to harness out
his affections

leaves everyone shattered.

[screaming]

[mumbling]

This could be the end
of the competition for me.

(narrator) And a rose
ceremony like no other.

[sighs]

Can Arthur reign in
his emotions?

Just take a moment.

[theme music]
