The Bachelor NZ (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

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

A single date on a super yacht..

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

...proved too much for Nat.

[clearing throat]

- Just trying to relax.
- Just relax.

But Matilda came up
roses on the group date.

[laughing] Matilda,
will you accept this rose?

It just makes me feel safe.

Then..

To it gets to the point
where it explodes.



Thank God
we're not at that table.

...at the cocktail party,
Alysha and Crystal fell out.

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

- Yep.
- See you on the flip side.

Going through my head is this.

And Amanda..

You did not receive a rose.

...was sent on her way.

I've actually learnt that
there is good guys out there

you just need to wait.

- Tonight..
- Oh, my God.

Look at this!

The girls are on tour.

Beautiful!



And romance in a secret
location..

...where Arthur shows he's more
than just boyfriend material.

Soon as she hits the water,
she starts hyperventilating.

- Then..
- Oh, my God, what is this?

...a ride to reign in
the bachelor's affections

...goes painfully wrong.

(Arthur) Just the look on her
face, I knew it was serious.

(Mike Puru)
And at the Rose Ceremony..

[dramatic music]

...indecision rules.

Just take a moment.

(Natalie)
He's just taking forever.

(Arthur) We're down to just eight
girls, which is crazy.

I think we all need
a change of scene

before the adventure continues.

So, I'm bringing everyone to
the beautiful Bay of Plenty.

I've got some incredible dates
planned.

I'm wanting to have some
brand new adventures

and hopefully find time
for romance too.

[instrumental music]

- Hello, ladies.
- Hi!

'Time for a late night
delivery.'

I'm hoping that this is a single
date card

and that my name is on it.

So there are just eight of you
left here.

Perhaps it's time to change
the scenery?

[all screaming]

(Poppy)
I am so excited!

I'm feeling a little bit
like I have cabin fever

I need to get out.

Where are we going,
what are we doing?

Well, you know Arthur,
he likes to keep you guessing.

So best that I just leave you
with this.

[all cheering]

Danielle and Kristie
are the only ones

that have not had a single date.

(Matilda) I think it
could definitely be me

because I feel like it
was a million years ago

since our first date.

"There's plenty for everyone."

Bay of Plenty.

[ladies exclaiming]

[indistinct]

- Single date.
- Wow!

(Kristie) I really want my
one-on-one date with Arthur.

I really wanna show who I am.

And it's for--

I think if Kristie doesn't
get the single date

I think she's gonna struggle
to stay here.

[dramatic music]

Kristie.

[screaming and cheering]

Of course I'm disappointed
'cause I wish that was me.

Maybe you're finally gonna
go horse riding on the beach.

- Is there a beach there?
- Yes.

(Kristie) I'm super excited
that my name's been called.

I'm hoping my single date has
horses

I've been fantasizing about
it, it's been my dream date

riding horses along the
beach, through the waves

just sounds gorgeous.

Danielle, you're the last
one left without a date.

I know.

I'm really wondering what I
need to do to get a single date.

- Only a matter of time.
- Yeah.

Hopefully I get to join
the single date club.

- You will. Yeah, you will.
- It's pretty fun.

If I was in her position,
I would be stomping my feet.

I would probably have packed
my bags.

[upbeat music]

(Arthur) It's great
to get out of the city

and it feels so good being
down here in the Bay of Plenty

and I'm really looking forward
to my date with Kristie today.

- How are you?
- Hi!

Where have you brought me?

I've done a lot of waiting for
this single date with Arthur

I really wanna show who I am.

- How are ya?
- Good, how are you?

Lovely to see you.

(Kristie) I've absolutely been
keeping my guard up this entire time.

It is hard
to let your guard down

but why else would I be here
if I didn't wanna find somebody

that I wanna settle down with?

Oh, my gosh, I can't wait.
I don't know what we're doing.

We're going to somewhere
very special.

Nice.

Kristie seems like she
has a very tough exterior.

And so I wanna know exactly
what's underneath that.

First up, I'm taking Kristie
to a very special spot.

It's this secret location that
I've known about for a while

and I've always wanted
to take someone there.

Oh, my gosh.

Cool!

Can we go down there?

Yeah, that's where we're going.

Oh, wicked!

(Kristie)
I see this beautiful waterfall

and it just looks spectacular.

This is where it gets a little
bit hairy.

Yeah, bit treacherous
down there.

(Arthur) Luckily I've arranged
for a couple of lanterns

to light our way down to these
cave steps.

- I like to plan..
- Thank you.

- To plan ahead.
- That's good.

- It feels like Harry Potter.
- Yeah.

(Arthur) It is quite scary in the tunnel.
It's not easy.

And Kristie's
handling it really well.

Wow.

- We'll get our togs off.
- Yep.

- Alright, let's do it.
- Let's go.

I don't really know Kristie
that well at this stage

so I'm really looking forward

to finding out a bit more about
her.

Yeah, getting to know her
better.

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

[squealing]

Okay.

[screams]

(Kristie) I dive bombed
in and then I come up

and I literally have no breath.

[dramatic music]

(Arthur)
As soon as she hits the water

she gets you know,
a huge fright.

I think because
the water is so cold

and she starts hyperventilating.

(Kristie) I'm sorta trying to
catch my breath as I'm swimming

stupid idea.

(Arthur) I look back and I
see Kristie's in trouble.

(Arthur) She's not looking too
good and just seeing the worry

in her eyes, it's quite scary.

(Arthur) Kristie is in
trouble, her eyes are huge

and she's not breathing
properly.

I decide that I need to get her
out of the water and quickly.

Luckily I've trained in surf
lifesaving

so I was able to pull
her out of the water.

It was quite a scary experience.

He was a bit of a hero
and I really liked that

I like to be, have to be a
vulnerable person

and he take care of me.

[piano music]

(Arthur)
It takes a couple of minutes

before Kristie
gets her breath back

but she's keen to push on
so we venture round

behind the waterfall.
She's such a trooper.

(Kristie)
It's really magical actually.

We just look up and it's
this spectacular water

just coming down, you know

thousands and thousands
of liters of water.

This was my first real date.

I mean, I've had boyfriends
and they take me out to dinner

but this is a truly spectacular
date.

I did have a little crush
on him before and, you know

it's building up
and it's building up

and it feels really nice.

[instrumental music]

Oh, my God, look at this!

[screaming]
It's beautiful!

(Alysha) We've just
arrived from Auckland

and we're in beautiful
Tauranga, I've never been here.

Look how stunning it is.

The apartment is stunning

and the views are just
breathtaking.

So very happy to be here.

Oh, my God.
It's like a panorama.

This is perfect.

'It's so nice to be
in a new location.'

- I know!
- Wow, oh, the deck.

(Matilda)
That is so cool.

I hope that this change of
scenery will change the vibe

because at the mansion

it's sorta started to
get a little bit weird.

Oh, you look like you're at home
in that kitchen there, Matilda.

[laughing]
Yeah.

(Matilda) I would hate
to see another repeat

of that last cocktail party

with all the drama
and everything.

I just hope that it's smooth
sailing for here on out.

Did you guys think that Kristie
was excited for her single date?

Hell, yeah, from that reaction.

I think she looked a little bit
nervous this morning though.

You can kind of hide behind
everyone else on a group date

and then suddenly
it's just you and him.

- Hey, hey, hey!
- Yeah.

Naturally, if it's gone
this long without having

a single date,
you'd be a little bit worried

so Kristie must be feeling
pretty happy and chuffed.

I'm sure that
she'll enjoy her time

in the spotlight though.

And then it's your turn, missy.

- Yes!
- Fingers crossed.

(Arthur)
'We are very, very close.'

- This is us.
- This is it?

- This is us. Yeah.
- "Bella Vista Lodge."

(Arthur) After Kristie's
near death experience

I've got something that's
a little bit more relaxing

and a bit more enjoyable
for her.

Oh, my gosh, this is exactly
what I need right now.

This is gonna be amazing.

[laughing]

[instrumental music]

Hey.

- Yes?
- A little bit cute.

(Kristie)
Things are going really well.

I sort of feel like a
little girl around him

and it makes me funny
to talk about it.

But it feels nice
to feel like this

and I sorta want to be closer
to him.

I've always had a stiff neck,
always.. Harder.

Quite demanding, aren't you?

Sorry, I just,
I love a good hard massage

and yes, I am.

Do you find that,
are you quite bossy?

Yeah, to be fair.

- You are?
- Yeah, I must be.

At least you know it.

I don't know if it's bossy
or controlling

it's not controlling,
that sounds bad

I'm not controlling.

I didn't say you were.

Dammit, stop talking!

(Arthur) I don't really
like bossy people.

I like a bit of sass,
but not boss.

When are you jumping off
the walk, Poppy?

I'm jumping off.

So we're all relaxing
in the apartment.

Woo-hoo, look what I found.

And Crystal has a date card.

"Keeping it country."

- Riding!
- Oh, horse riding!

- Riding with the horses.
- Yeah!

Yup, it will be,
it'll be horse riding.

If it was a group date with
horses, I am so excited.

- Or like wood chopping?
- Wood chopping!

Please not wood chopping!

These arms aren't built for wood
chopping.

Some sheep shearing.

So, first person to go on this
date..

If I can't have another single
date, then I'll take everything

and I really wanna go
on this group date.

...is Danielle.

[cheering]

I have mixed feelings about
being on the group date

because my theory was
that if I wasn't invited

on the group date,
then there might be more chance

that I'd be the next
one on the single date.

Oh, the suspense,
Crystal, stop it.

Alysha.

She reads out my name,
I'll definitely take it

and I'm very excited.

Everyone's going!

[all cheering]

I do want to go
on the group date

but I don't want to go
with so many girls.

Country!

(Alysha) Eight girls
might be a few too many

to get that quality
one-on-one time

that we all need at the moment.

[instrumental music]

- Wow.
- This is beautiful, huh?

- This is great.
- Yeah, grab a seat.

(Arthur)
Kristie's opened up a bit to me

but there's still a lot
that I don't know about her.

So I'm hoping that we
can just have a sit down

and watch the sunset
and talk a bit more.

- Cheers.
- Cheers, thank you.

- Thank you for today.
- No.

- Yeah.
- It was all you.

- I hope you enjoyed it.
- I did.

- Yeah.
- Almost died but I'm okay.

Got a massage so you redeemed
yourself.

(Kristie) Everything seems
to be going really well.

Conversations are flowing quite
naturally

which is really nice
and pleasant for me

I wasn't really sure
how it was gonna go

but I'm really enjoying my
time with Arthur right now.

- Wow, what is that?
- It's Black Doris ice cream.

- Black who?
- Black Doris plum.

Black Doris does a great job.

Black Doris is actually
the name of the plum.

- Uh-huh. Well, she produces..
- Yeah.. But I imagine--

She produces the flavor,
does she not?

Does she not produce the flavor?

I mean, if we're referring
to the plum as a she

then yes she does.

What's her name again?

Black Doris.

After the ice cream I tell him
that I've got a surprise

for him, and he was a little bit
taken aback by that.

- I love surprises.
- Yeah.

So I was telling you about
my first..

...win with a cross country.

And so this was the photo
that my mom took afterwards.

[laughing]

What?

I just wanted to give him an
insight into my life, really.

Just a few special moments
in my life

that I wanted to share with him.

- So cute.
- 'This is me and my dad.'

(Arthur) I've never been shown
family photos on a first date before.

(Kristie) 'These are
me and my rugby girls.'

It's really quite odd,
Kristie is full of surprises.

I really enjoyed your company.

Stop it.

- I'm not very good.
- You're not very good.

- Nah, like--
- Taking compliments.

- No good.
- Really?

Yeah, no good.

- Doesn't mean don't give them.
- Oh, okay.

[laughing]

I'm really enjoying getting
to know Arthur

and the feelings are definitely
developing

and I just really hope that
they are on his side too.

- Thank you for today.
- That's alright.

I hope it's been all that
you expected..

- And more.
- Yeah.

(Arthur) The date with
Kristie has gone really well.

We've had a lot of fun,
she's been great.

But I still feel like
there's something missing.

So, do you have any, like,
deal breakers?

- If you had a partner--
- Yep.

Yep, someone that can't
just go with the flow and--

I'm not controlling,
I'm not controlling.

I don't think you're too
controlling.

Too controlling. Okay.

I do think you have a
touch of controlling-ness.

I'm playing it out more
than it needs to be.

- Let's all drop it, eh?
- Yeah.

I just don't feel as
though we've got past third gear

and I'm just not if we have
the momentum to push forward.

I really appreciate, you know,
you just being yourself

and doing what you're
comfortable doing..

...and just, yeah, enabling
me to get to know you.

- Cool. Cheers to that.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, cheers to that.
- Getting to know each other.

Yeah, thank you.

[piano music]

[instrumental music]

[yawning] Kristie should be home by now.
It's quite late.

She's pushing it, isn't she?

(Natalie)
I'm really, really intrigued

to see how Kristie's
single date went

because she is quite up front
and she's quite bossy.

Do you think she'll come back
with a rose?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Yeah, I think so.
- Yes.

All the girls seem to be
impressing Art so far

on the single dates, so I don't
doubt Kristie will either.

Big question though,
did she get kissed?

- No.
- I don't think so.

I just don't really see Kristie
as a very romantic person.

I feel like she tries to be,
but she's not.

[instrumental music]

- Hi!
- Hello!

- Hello, hi!
- Hi!

- Hello, hello.
- Really, really nice.

- 'You look sassy!'
- Thank you.

I am exhausted I tell you.

[laughing]

Tell us then..

We get to this,
like enchanted forest.

And it feels like
I'm in Avatar, honestly

like, it's beautiful
everywhere around me.

(Dani) It sounds like they
had a really good date

but I'm not really listening,
because I'm distracted

by the fact
there's no rose in her hand.

Then we see this beautiful
outlook of like, water.

We are all confused,
where is Kristie's rose?

He dives in to check that it's
deep enough so I can dive bomb..

(Dani) No one's quite
asking where this rose is

so, who is gonna man up
and do it?

So good, it was perfect.

- I'm so jealous!
- It sounds incredible!

- That is so nice!
- Where's the little red thing?

The wee red thing? No, there's
no time for roses on this date.

I think you're lying,
is it up your pants?

Is it.. I'm waiting for it to
slip out your trouser leg.

Obviously she has a rose
because no one has gone

on a single date and not got a
rose. She's hidden it somewhere.

- Turn around?
- You want to see my best side?

- Good back on this dress.
- Down the front?

No, No, there's no rose, no.

[dramatic music]

She doesn't have a rose,
stop it!

[giggling]
No, it's alright.

If I didn't get a rose,
then I didn't get a rose.

We'll see how
the Rose Ceremony goes.

(Kristie) It feels like
the date went really well

so it's a little bit baffling
that there wasn't a rose.

Maybe it was sided,
maybe I wasn't reading him.

(Crystal) If you go on a single
date and you come back roseless

you are going home.

Sayonara.

Goodbye!

[instrumental music]

[upbeat music]

(Kristie) We're on the
outskirts of Tauranga

and we're in the country

and we walk down the hill
and I see horses.

- Yay!
- Oh, yay!

Someone is going for a horse
ride, and I hope it's me.

Hello, ladies, and welcome to
this idyllic slice of paradise

here in the Bay of Plenty.

- Thank you.
- Thanks!

If you've been doing your
homework you will know by now

that Arthur spent his
early years on a farm.

So he is right at home in the
country.

'And the girl who wins his
heart'

well it would pay if she was
also was that way inclined.

So today, Arthur has
organized for you all

an idyllic horse trip.

- Yay!
- Wooh!

I have been going on and on
about wanting to go on a date

involving horse riding.
And finally it's here.

Kristie, I can tell
you're excited?

So excited, yes!

- Finally!
- The horses!

I'm so excited that Kristie
has got her bloody horse riding

date, because I'm sick
of hearing about it.

'Now, ladies,
you'll be riding high'

and hopefully, catching
Arthur's eye while you do it.

- Morning, girls!
- Hi!

(Dani) Art comes out and he
looks awesome in his plaid shirt.

I always want one-on-one
time with Art, who doesn't?

I hope you're all are excited,
raring to go?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Okay, let's saddle up.

(Arthur) I grew up on a farm
and I wanna see how the girls

handle this sort of environment.

You alright, mate?

I don't really want a princess.

Okay, so it's gonna go like that

that way,
that bit goes in the mouth

and then that bit goes around
the ears

and then that bit goes around
the nose.

Oh, my God, what is this?

Like something from bloody
"Fifty Shades Of Grey."

[laughing]

[laughing]

She hands me the saddle,
I put it on backwards

look like a complete idiot.

Oh, yes, babe.

Horse riding, not particularly
my cup of tea, but hey

you gotta do what you gotta do

so get on the horse and
I'll go for the drink.

- I didn't know that.
- Yeah.

- Really, so?
- I am, yeah?

First time back on a
horse after falling off

so I am gonna get back
on the horse.

[laughing]

- Get on your toes.
- Get on that horse!

(Matilda) When I was
young, I did have a horse.

He bit me, stood on my
foot and then I fell off.

I haven't ridden a horse
since then

so, it should be interesting.

Well, we're all gonna be
safe and happy.

We'll try and have good
positive vibes, right?

(Arthur) I'm impressed with
Matilda getting back on the horse.

It sounds like it was a
horrible experience for her.

So yeah, good on her.

- How are you going, Matilda?
- I'm good.

Apparently mine would like
to just eat and be lazy.

- Oh, really?
- So, you and me both, sister.

(Matilda) Feels nice to be back
on a horse after all this time.

But it also feels very high.

Wah!

(Crystal)
I am a tall girl

so I always get given the
biggest horse of the bunch.

after my two attempts to ride
Nate, the big horse..

Let me off, I'm gonna
get off, can you hold him?

I just generally get a bad vibe.

- I'm a little nervous, babe.
- Are you?

Thank you so much for bringing
me here

but I just feel a little
bit like

I can't control this horse.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So I'm gonna probably sit
this one out.

(Arthur) It's real shame that
Crystal didn't want to go.

I did want to get to know her
better.

- 'I'm going after you, Nat.'
- Okay.

- Jumping.
- So indicate.

Like, beep beep?

(Arthur)
So we take off down the hill

and it's just so incredible,
a beautiful spot.

Amazing hills,
like it's beautiful day

it's just perfect.

And all the girls seemed to be
loving the horse riding so far.

And go!

My horse, Paris, never
really gets out of line

but she does kind of have
like a little bit of a problem

with Danielle's horse.

And what about the horse?

(Danielle) Not long after
we pass through a gate

some of the others who had
been sort of trailing behind

caught up to us.

(Matilda) I sort of lead Paris
over, and she seems quite relaxed.

Good girl, Paris, good girl!

But then Danielle and her
horse come up behind me

and then all of a sudden, my
horse kicks Danielle's horse.

[Matilda screaming]

Oh my God!
Are you okay?

[sobbing]

(Arthur) At first, when she fell
off I didn't think it was that bad.

**** me!

And then,
just the look on her face

I knew it was pretty serious.

[crying]

[screaming]

Oh my God!
Are you okay?

[sobbing]

(Matilda)
I looked down at my wrist

and I could see that
it's deformed.

[sobbing]

And I just started freaking out.

(Arthur)
Matilda doesn't usually swear

but she's definitely swearing
right now.

No, she's not.
You were doing so well though.

(Poppy) I'm in shock,
like, my heart is thumping.

The feeling up there was just

you could cut the tension with a
knife.

[dramatic music]

Yeah.

(Matilda) Like I don't know
if I've hurt myself badly

or if it's just a case of
popping my wrist back in.

I don't know, but if it's
serious enough

this could be the end
of the competition for me.

How much pain are you in right
now?

- A lot.
- A lot?

- **** Yeah!
- Okay.

Use the strength in your legs
and push up.

(Dani) It is completely horrible
to see Matilda in this state.

I feel terrible for her
and so scared for her.

I'm just so gutted for her.

Like it was so much fun, and..

(Poppy)
It's horrendous.

I can't think of a worse
person for this to happen to.

Matilda is so lovely
and so brave.

(Natalie) I don't want Tills to
leave, I think she's amazing.

I think her and Arthur
have an amazing connection.

It would terrible if she left.

Never again, never again.

(Arthur)
'Yeah I think--'

[laughing] Yeah, yeah,
it was fun while it lasted.

Let's never do horses again.

Yeah, yeah,
they're just not my thing.

No.

(Arthur) I've never
seen someone so brave.

I just hope she's gonna be okay

and I hope she's gonna carry
on, on this whole journey.

Because it would be a huge loss
for me if she decided not to.

[instrumental music]

(Matilda) The doctors tell
me that I've broken my wrist.

- Aw!
- Hi.

Hi. How are you?

(Matilda) It could be surgery
if it doesn't heal itself

in the next six weeks

so I've just got a cast
on until that happens.

- How's your arm?
- Um, it's okay.

It's still really painful.

(Arthur) One good thing to come
out of this has been Matilda and I

getting closer, I think.

I feel protective of her.

Well, I brought something
that might cheer you up.

- Will you accept this rose?
- Oh, thank you so much!

He's so caring and so sweet.

He's really impressing me.

Oh, you poor wee thing.

I'm gutted I can't come to
the cocktail party though.

- Yeah, you'll be missed.
- You have fun for me.

I will, yeah.

(Matilda) I really want to be
here and I'm not gonna go home

just because of this bump
in the road.

Alright.

- Alright, have fun.
- Yeah.

- Say hi to the girls.
- I will.

- See ya.
- See ya.

(Matilda)
Arthur is a one in a million.

I'm definitely in it
for the long haul.

I'll fight for Arthur.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hello, everyone.
- Hi!

I'm sure you'll agree,
an absolutely stunning setting

here at the French Country house
for tonight's cocktail party.

- 'Yeah, I know.'
- 'Beautiful.'

Now, you'll all be aware that
Matilda suffered an injury

on the horse trek, so she
won't be joining us tonight.

But what I can tell you is this

Arthur has just been to visit
Matilda

and we can report
she is in high spirits.

With a rose?

Especially after receiving
a rose.

[cheering]

That's so good.

I'd hope if you'd been on a date
and broken your arm

that would at least constitute
safety for another week.

Ladies, enjoy, I will see
you soon, here's Arthur.

Thank you.

(Dani) Art comes out,
and of course he looks absolutely amazing

like he always does.

- Hi, girls.
- Hi.

I still get taken aback by him
every time he walks out.

So how did you deliver
the rose to Matilda

'did you do like a sneaky
room service kind of a thing?'

I went and visited Matilda
and I gave her a rose.

- Aw.
- Cute, good.

- Yeah.
- She deserves one.

[laughing]

I think she should have
got at least 20 roses

filled the room, come on.

Poppy, I was wondering
if I could

steal you away for a wee chat?

- Yeah, sure, Arthur.
- Yeah?

(Poppy)
I love it when Arthur asks

to have some one-on-one time
with me.

It makes me feel so special.

Poppy makes him smile,
so, sure enough

he would steal her away.

He needs someone to
make him smile I think

after yesterday, it was
kind of a catastrophe

so maybe she's the one who's
like, yeah, cheer me up.

Yeah.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

How you feeling about
everything?

Really good, how are you?

I feel like I've made
connections with most of you.

- So it's kind of--
- Yeah, I can imagine.

Yeah, it's an interesting point
I think.

Do you feel like you've had
a strong connection with me?

[laughing]

I'm just saying that
because I feel like I've had

quite a strong connection
with you.

I do, Arthur.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Cool. That makes me happy.
- I do.

(Poppy) The more time
I spend with Arthur

the more I realize that he
ticks so many of my boxes.

Arthur's definitely the sort
of man I'd like to end up with.

[instrumental music]

Does anyone here that is wanting
to go and speak to Arthur

tonight, or wanting go
and approach him tonight?

I think because you know,
the group date didn't go

particularly well, and we didn't
get a lot of sort of talk time

we all probably want to have
little, touch base, hey-hey.

'Catch up, hey.'

Oh, well, it's gonna be a busy
night then.

Who's gonna focus on Arthur
next then?

- I might.
- Go get your walk on.

- Okay. I will try.
- Good luck.

Enjoy those stairs!

I would really like
to chat with Art tonight

only because I haven't spent
any time with him this week

one-on-one.

I was wondering if I could steal
a few moments?

I will go back to the girls.
See you.

See you.

I don't have anything pressing

that I need to get off
my chest or anything

but just a catch up would be
really nice.

I just wanted to steal a few
minutes with you 'cause I just

wanted like make sure that
he still knows I'm here.

Yeah, I can never forget your
story.

I wanna be, yeah.

And I just wanted to thank you
as well

because this whole time..

...you've really, like,
made me feel really special

and I've never really
had that before.

- Really? You are special.
- Oh thank you.

Well, I mean, every bit of it.

Well, thank you.

- Who's going next?
- I will.

- Yes!
- Great.

- 'I think it's your turn!'
- 'Yeah.'

- Go, sister, go.
- Okay.

- Epic one-liners too.
- Here I come!

[all cheering]

The pressure's really
on for me at the moment

because I'm still the only girl
who hasn't had a single date

and I need to make sure
that Arthur is reassured

that if we went on one, I think
we'd have an amazing time.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- Sorry to interrupt.
- It's okay.

Dani, I wondered if you'd mind
if I borrowed Art

for a little while?

No, of course not.
Alright, bye-bye.

I have no idea whether this
is going to backfire on me

or whether he's actually
going to quite like it.

But either way I need to know.

I know that all the girls are
wanting to have a bit

of time with you tonight,
so I'm just gonna get

straight to the point.

Yup, go ahead.

I would really like you
to have a good think about

giving me the opportunity to
have a single date with you

before sending me home

because I feel confident that
if you did decide to do that

that you really wouldn't be
disappointed.

That is the most ballsy thing
anyone's ever said to me.

[laughing]

(Arthur) Wow,
Danielle's put herself on the line.

She's completely just opened up

and she's just said,
"Take me on a date."

And I think her bravery is
admirable.

How are you feeling
about the Rose Ceremony

and him forgetting to give you a
rose?

Forgetting, I like that.

I hope he just forgot to give me
a rose.

(Kristie) I think it's
Arthur's responsibility tonight

to come and explain what
he was or wasn't feeling

on a one-on-one date

and that'll just give me
a bit of clarification

which I think I deserve.

I'm the first girl to have
a single date

and not have a rose,
it was a little bit sad.

I don't want to have
to approach him.

I think Arthur owes me the time

and owes me a bit of
an explanation as well.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Some closure would be nice,
wouldn't it?

Yeah, maybe he may take me away
tonight

and explain what he wasn't
feeling or what he was feeling

and yeah, I guess I just
feel a little bit lost.

(Poppy) Kristie's strategy to
not talk to Arthur tonight's

not the smartest of moves.

If I was in Kristie's position
tonight I would definitely try

and muscle in and just make sure
that I felt a little bit safer

going into the Rose Ceremony.

(Arthur)
'You look gorgeous by the way.'

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

Do you wanna come upstairs,
both of you?

- Sounds good, sure.
- Yeah.

I'll steal this one.

Basically tonight I just
want to touch base with him

see where things are at
with each other

and maybe try and get some
reassurance

that I might get a rose tonight.

So how are things going for you?

It's sort of getting
down a little bit now.

Yeah, yeah.

You have to start thinking
big picture about things.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I've started thinking
big picture about things.

So I'm starting to think
what it's gonna be like.

- In the real world?
- Yeah, in the real world.

- To put it bluntly, yeah.
- Yeah, pretty much.

When you're outside of this

like who's gonna fit into
my lifestyle and yeah.

I feel like we're sort of,
kind of in the same place

with things at the moment
in terms of our lives

and our lifestyles and what
we wanna do and achieve.

But at the same time

how could I've know like,
he's not my man

he's like everyone's
man at the moment, yeah.

He's just not mine to cuddle.

[laughing] You know,
gotta share him at the moment.

And that's the hard part to
process.

She's been there for a while.
I don't wanna touch that.

- Are you gonna go over?
- No.

That's what you were hinting
****.

- No, no, no.
- Do it.

We're running out of time.

Probably should have been
a bit more aggressive

but I never am.

I really like you.

- Thank you for saying that--
- Yeah, no, I really like you.

(Arthur) Everyone is really
opening up their hearts to me

and I'm quite confused.

It's gonna be a really
tough to send someone home.

[intense music]

Good evening again, ladies.

(all)
Hi.

Quite an action packed few
days here in the Bay of Plenty.

- Yeah.
- Definitely.

With Matilda already receiving
a rose tonight, she is safe.

'For the seven of you
standing in front of me'

Arthur tonight has six roses
to hand out.

(Alysha) There's always going
to be the inkling of doubt

in my mind, no matter
how confident

I go into these Rose Ceremonies.

Which means one of you
will be leaving tonight.

(Dani) I don't want
to go home because

I feel like Art and I have
a really strong connection.

'Ladies, I wish
you the best of luck.'

It's time for Arthur.

Thanks, mate.

[intense music]

(Natalie) There's seven of us
standing there at the Rose Ceremony.

None of us have roses in our
hands, which is a first.

(Kristie) I had the single date
and I didn't receive a rose

so why keep me around?

(Danielle) Maybe he didn't like
me being so upfront with him

and that could be a reason
why I don't get a rose.

Girls, you've been incredible
the last couple of days.

What happened to Matilda
was horrible.

But at the same time that's
an experience we all shared

and I feel like it's brought
everyone

'a little bit closer together'

which makes my decision
tonight so difficult.

(Natalie) I think everyone's
feeling a little bit nervous.

(Kristie) The only other person
that I could think possibly might

go home would be Danielle.

She hasn't been
on a single date.

(Crystal) I hope I'm
not going home tonight.

I'm not ready to go,
I'm really enjoying myself.

Someone who made a big
impression on me tonight..

..Danielle.

(Katie) It would be really
disappointing if, you know

I went home after I've just
decided

to bring this barrier down.

Danielle, will you accept
this rose?

I would love to, Arthur.

(Danielle) I'm really relieved
when my name gets called.

Maybe that's a sign that
Arthur likes a strong woman.

(Poppy) I was thinking that
if I don't get a rose tonight

it's because Arthur found
me incompatible with him.

Alysha.

Alysha, will you accept this
rose?

- Yes, I will.
- Okay.

(Dani) I think Kristie
will be going home tonight

only because
she is the only girl

not to receive a rose
on a single date.

[dramatic music]

Poppy.

(Kristie) At this point of time,
I still have strong feelings

for Arthur.

Poppy, will you accept
this rose?

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

(Natalie) They might think I was
a snob and didn't talk to him

at the cocktail partyso maybe
he's decided to send me home.

[dramatic music]

Crystal.

Crystal, will you accept
this rose?

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

Dani.

Dani gets the next rose
and I'm like ****.

Yeah, I don't wanna go home.

Dani, will you accept this rose?

Of course, thank you.

So there's only Nat and Kristie
left and I'm praying Nat stays.

Kristie is a little bit bossy.

(Natalie) Probably should've spoken to
him, looking in hindsight.

(Kristie)
It's just horrible waiting.

(Natalie)
It's just kind of frustrating

because I know that
I'm a really cool person.

(Kristie)
I sort of feel like it's coming

and I start thinking
about my goodbye speech.

(Crystal) I'm standing next to
Natalie and I'm holding her hand.

Her grip on my hand
is getting tighter and tighter.

I'll just take a moment.

(Crystal) And the next minute,
Arthur walks out the door.

(Dani) My whole body feels
like it's gone into shock

I'm like..

(Kristie) I've got Nat behind
me, freaking out

and I'm trying to calm her down.

And it's making me worked up
as well.

(Arthur)
I'm down to the last rose

and I have two beautiful
girls to choose from.

And I really can't
make my mind up.

- So what's going on?
- Very tough couple of days.

- Yeah, well, understandable.
- For me, for everyone.

How do you feel?

I feel, I don't know,
I feel confused.

Well, I'll leave you
for a few minutes.

- Yeah.
- You okay though?

- Yeah. Thanks, man.
- Okay.

The events that have taken
place over the last couple

of days,
and tonight's cocktail party

have really thrown me.

(Alysha) I think it is getting
tough for him to make the decision.

But at the same time in my mind

eight girls are still a lot
of girls.

(Natalie)
He's just, taking forever.

You know we've waited
the whole cocktail party

now we've waited
the whole Rose Ceremony.

Now we're waiting more.

[sighs]

[intense music]

Tonight's decision has been
really, really difficult.

[sighs]

Which is why,
I couldn't make a decision.

[dramatic music]

[sighs] Kristie,
will you accept this rose?

(Kristie) He pulls a rose
out from behind his back

and calls my name
and I'm just thrilled.

- Wow. Yeah, definitely.
- Thank you.

I definitely thought
I was going home

and now that I've got the rose

you know, you gotta make
the most of every time

and every opportunity.

Who cares who's already talking
to him

you need to go up and speak
to him when you want to.

Nat.

(Natalie) I think he's worth fighting
for and I just need to be myself

a bit more and see what happens.

Nat, will you accept this rose?

I definitely, definitely will.

[laughing]
Thank you.

That gives me a few more days
to really put myself out there

and have a chat to him and make
sure that I'm not the last one

standing next time.

Yeah, no one's going home.

Hurray?

[intense music]

While my face is showing like,
really happy

I'm not happy about it.

I'm actually
a little bit pissed off.

I think he should have
put one of the girls

out of their misery and if he
couldn't make the decision

maybe then he should've
sent both of them home.

I'm staring deep into
his eyes and I'm like

"What are you thinking?"

[dramatic music]

Congratulations, ladies.

You all have roses tonight,
so no one is going home.

As you can tell,
Arthur is finding it difficult

to make these decisions
at the Rose Ceremony

so use your time wisely to get
to know him better.

But apart from that, enjoy
this evening, thank you.

(Dani) I honestly think
it was a bad move.

(Poppy) It's only going
to hurt people more

the longer he keeps
people on out of sympathy.

Alright, girls,
let's enjoy the night, cheers.

Cheers.

(Crystal) Arthur,
you cannot have eight girlfriends.

I know you want us all,
we are amazing

but Arthur, you can only
have one girlfriend.

(Mike Puru) Tomorrow
night on "The Bachelor.."

Arthur takes one lucky girl
sky high.

(Arthur) We're just
pushed out of a plane.

(Mike Puru)
But for another bachelorette

it's not all plain sailing.

Whoa! You alright?

(Mike Puru)
And a tense cocktail party

girl lay their hearts
on the line.

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

I think I'm blushing now.

(Mike Puru)
Before a shock announcement.

- Oh, no!
- No!

I absolutely appreciate you

being so honest about
everything.

(Mike Puru)
And another farewell

leaves some girls
feeling guilty.

I need to take back everything
bad that I've said about her.
