WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT THIS ROSE WAS GONNA BE ABOUT. WHILE ITS EXACT POWERS STILL REMAIN A MYSTERY,... WHO'S IT GONNA GO TO? WHO DO YOU THINK? I'M WONDERING IF I CAN STEAL AWAY VIARNI FOR A SEC. OK. ...THERE IS ONE CERTAINTY. I'M WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO GET THAT WHITE ROSE. THEY WILL HAVE THEIR TIME, AND I WILL STEAL HIM AWAY. THE QUEST TO WIN OVER THE BACHELOR'S HEART...

I GET TOLD IT'S FRENCH AND ITALIAN, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS. (LAUGHS) THERE'S A LITTLE SPARK THERE. I THINK YOU CAN TELL WITH SOMEONE IF YOU EVEN SPEND JUST FIVE MINUTES WITH THEM. IF YOU THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL, AND I THINK THERE IS. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) I WASN'T EXPECTING TO BE SO ATTRACTED TO HIM, AND IT'S (BLEEP)ING HARD FOR ME. OH MY GOD. I JUST..

(ALL CHATTER EXCITEDLY) THAT IS SCARY IF SHE GOT THAT... OH MY GOD. NAH, COME ON.

IS THIS GOOD? HE WAS LIKE, 'YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT LATER,' AND I WAS LIKE, 'OK.' WOW. WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET THE FIRST IMPRESSION ROSE? I'M LIKE, WHAT DID I NOT DO? V'S ALREADY GOT THE ROSE. THERE'S ONE PERSON OUT, AND THAT'S SCARING ME. I REALLY WANNA GET A ROSE. SO HARD. IT'S HIS FIRST DAY. LIKE, 'WHAT AM I DOING? WHY AM I NOT THE ONE?' SO, TELL ME SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T REALLY TELL ANYBODY ELSE. (LAUGHS) THAT I DON'T REALLY TELL ANYBODY ELSE. YEAH. UH, OK. I` PROBABLY MY BIGGEST FEAR... OH, OK. ...IS, LIKE, BEING TRAPPED IN A REALLY SMALL SPACE. HOW ABOUT YOU? UM... PROBABLY BEING LOCKED IN A ROOM... LOCKED IN A ROOM? ...WITH BEES. WITH BEES?! YEAH. I'M NOT A FAN OF BEES AT ALL. NO.

MOLL'S GOING. I THINK, UM, I'M GONNA GO FOR A WALK. ARE YOU? SHOULD I? ARE YOU GONNA FIND HIM? THERE'S THREE PEOPLE GOING HOME, AND I WAS LIKE, RIGHT, THAT COULD BE ME. THAT ACTUALLY COULD BE ME THERE. SO I'M ACTUALLY STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT WORRIED. GO, MOLLY! (LAUGHS) I DEFINITELY WANNA GO BACK AND HAVE A CHAT TO HIM AND SHOW HIM THAT I'M NOT AS WEIRD AS I MADE MYSELF OUT TO BE. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) STILL TO COME ` COULD GO ON, LIKE, BLIND DATES, AND I'M TOTALLY... AFTER THE ONE-ON-ONE, MONIQUE WAS GIVING ME A BIT OF ATTITUDE. DON'T ACT TOUGH. DON'T TRY AND FIGHT WITH ME, COS YOU PICKED THE WRONG ONE. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A ROSE, YOU WILL BE GOING HOME IMMEDIATELY. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) THIS IS INCREDIBLE. LOOK AT THIS! I KNOW, CRAZY, RIGHT? I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A GAZEBO IN MY BACKYARD. I DO (!) DO YOU NOT (?) (LAUGHS) IS THAT THE NORM? I'VE GOT THREE. THREE GAZEBOS, YOU SAY? IT'S LOOKING NICE AND COSY. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) I'M MOLLY. I'M 23 YEARS OLD FROM WELLINGTON, AND I AM A PRESCHOOL TEACHER. I JUST LOVE THE CHILDREN SO MUCH. THEY ARE SO ENERGETIC. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET EVERY DAY. AND IT ALSO HELPS THAT I'M SLIGHTLY CHILDISH MYSELF. IS THAT A SAD FACE? BOO-HOO-HOO. YOU DON'T CRY, EH? NO! KIA ORA, EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO MOLLY'S FAMOUS QUIZ NIGHT. I SEE A COUPLE OF HAPPY FACES HERE. MY FAVOURITE THING TO DO IS TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE. YOU'D USUALLY FIND ME ON A NIGHT OUT HOSTING QUIZZES AND BINGOS AND KARAOKES. WHAT YEAR DID FACEBOOK LAUNCH? I JUST LIKE... BEING THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION. (CHUCKLES) I KNOW YOU GUYS LIKE YOUR FACEBOOK. I WOULD SAY I'VE BEEN SINGLE SINCE BIRTH, ACTUALLY. I THINK I AM STILL SINGLE BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT OF A DOWNFALL. I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO EXPLORE A RELATIONSHIP AND SEE WHERE IT GOES. OBVIOUSLY LIKE A GUY WHO'S GOT A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR, DOESN'T TAKE HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. BIT OF INTELLIGENCE THERE, AND, YEAH, JUST NICE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. IT'S ALL RIGHT. SHE'LL GET BITTEN BY MOSQUITOS OVER THERE. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHTER) SO IT'S GOOD TO CHAT, YEAH, AFTER OUR AWKWARD FIRST EXPERIENCE. I DON'T THINK IT WAS THAT AWKWARD. YOU WERE FINE. OH, I WAS JUST, LIKE, 'WHAT HAVE I SAID? WHAT HAVE I DONE?' NAH, YOU WERE FINE. TALKING ABOUT DENTAL HYGIENE... (LAUGHS) YOU CLEANED YOUR TEETH, EVEN. AWESOME. I DID. I KNOW. YEAH, I THOUGHT IT... DID YOU FLOSS, THOUGH? NO, I'M NOT A BIG FLOSSER. DO I NEED TO FLOSS? YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK ON THAT ONE. RIGHT, OK. NO, IT'S LIKE` IT'S JUST CRAZY FOR EVERYONE, RIGHT? YEAH. YEAH, IT'S NICE TO SEE MOLLY IS CONSCIOUS AND SHE JUST WANTS TO MAKE A REALLY GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION. WE'RE, LIKE, RIGHT LOOKING AT THEM. THEY WOULD PROBABLY FEEL SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ALL OF OUR EYES WATCHING THEM. YEAH, 100%. YEAH, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? I WORK AS A HEAD COACH FOR A SURF LIFESAVING CLUB. EXCELLENT. I HAVE A SQUAD OF, LIKE, 30 TO 35 BOYS AND GIRLS. LOVE IT. SEE, I'M A PRESCHOOL TEACHER. MY YOUNGEST IS 2, THOUGH. OH, OK. BIT OF A GAP. AND I'VE GOTTA SWOT ABOUT 30 AS WELL. THEY'RE PROBABLY ALL WAKING UP FROM THEIR NAP, LIKE, 'WHERE'S MISS MOLLY?' (LAUGHS) ZAC SEEMS LIKE A COOL GUY. GOT AN INCREDIBLE SMILE, EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T FLOSS. AND I THINK OH, MAYBE HE DOESN'T THINK I'M AS WEIRD AS I THOUGHT. BUT I'M STILL NOT SURE IF THIS ROSE IS WITHIN REACH, BUT, HEY, WE CAN GIVE IT A GO. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO AND INTERRUPT MISS MOLLY OVER THERE. I THINK IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE, GIRL. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A BETTER MOMENT. GO FOR IT. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD. SHOULD I? YEAH, GO. GO DO IT. OH, I DUNNO. OK. I DIDN'T COME INTO THIS WITH A GAMEPLAN AT ALL, BUT ONCE I SAW HIM AND ALL THE GIRLS STARTED TALKING, I WAS LIKE, WELL, I'VE GOTTA HAVE TIME TOO. SO, TELL ME A BIT MORE ABOUT YOURSELF. HOW DID YOU FIND YOURSELF HERE? IT'S, JUST, I GUESS, THE GENERAL HOOK-UP CULTURE, YOU KNOW? IT'S JUST KIND HARD TO FIND SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY THERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. YEAH, IT'S FUNNY, EH. WITH THINGS LIKE TINDER AND ALL THOSE OTHER APPS. ALL THE ONLINE, STUFF, YEAH. IT'S EASY TO EASY MEET PEOPLE, BUT IT'S STILL HARD TO FIND SOMEONE. YEAH, EXACTLY. I DEFINITELY DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SITE. YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO GET TO KNOW A GUY BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. BUT AT LEAST A ROSE WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW HIM AND WITHOUT THE DRESS, WITHOUT ALL THE THEATRICS, AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BE A BIT MORE CHILL, WHICH IS DEFINITELY MORE ME. (TENSE MUSIC) AND YOU'RE ON THE BEERS AS WELL, I SEE. GOOD MAN. OK, GUYS, NOW IS THE POPCORN TIME. (LAUGHTER) WHAT OTHER HOBBIES DO I HAVE? NOT ENTIRELY SURE. HELLO. HELLO. CAN I JOIN YOU GUYS OR INTERRUPT? SURE, YEAH. HOW ABOUT YOU JOIN? SURE. SURE, ABSOLUTELY. JOIN? I'D LOVE TO JOIN. LOVE TO JOIN.

HOW ABOUT YOU KATEY? I'M ACTUALLY VERY HAPPY THAT YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME. I WAS` I WAS THE SECOND GIRL, HOW DID YOU DO THAT? I'M` I'M IMPRESSED. YOU MUST HAVE BEEN TAKING, LIKE, MENTAL NOTES. I WAS TRYING REALLY REALLY HARD. I FELT LIKE I HAD, LIKE, 10 SECONDS WITH YOU. SEE YOU INSIDE (LAUGHS) YEAH. YOU ONLY` YOU JUST, LIKE, WALKED DOWN THERE, 'I DUNNO, YEAH.' SO, YEAH, I DUNNO. IT WAS VERY FAST-GOING. WE CAME TO JOIN. YOU CAME TO JOIN? OH MY GOD. HOW ARE YOU GOING? YEAH, ALL RIGHT. YEAH, THIS` THIS CAN WORK. THERE'S A LACK OF SEATS. WE CAN JUST HOVER. WE CAN LIKE, ALL` WHERE CAN WE SIT? OR WE CAN ALL LEAVE. MOLLY: WE CAN GO. WE CAN GO. WE'LL GO. ARE YOU SURE? KATEY: YOU GUYS HAVE TIME. YEAH, WE'LL GO. WE'LL GO. IT WAS, LIKE, A THREE-WAY, AWKWARD CONVERSATION, BUT... I DUNNO, AT LEAST I GOT TO TALK TO HIM. HOW ARE YOU GUYS? GOOD, YEAH. GOOD, REALLY GOOD. YOU GUYS ALL LOOK STUNNING. AWW, AS DO YOU. THANK YOU. WE WERE LIKE, WOW! (LAUGHS) YEAH. LIKE, MY FIRST REACTION WHEN I WAS WALKING TO HIM WAS LIKE, OH DAMN! STOP IT. (LAUGHS) I HAVE ONLY EVER DATED ASIAN BOYS BEFORE. BUT NO, GO THE KIWI BOYS! REOW. I THINK I MIGHT GO AND SAY HI. FOR THE MOST PART, I DIDN'T EVER THINK I WOULD BE THE KIND OF PERSON TO GO AND INTERRUPT. OH, MAN, I HATE BEING RUDE AND INTERRUPTING, BUT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A GIRL'S GOTTA DO WHAT A GIRL'S GOTTA DO. (LAUGHS) I THINK YOU DO HAVE TO MAKE A BIT OF EFFORT, BUT, I MEAN, IT'S PROBABLY PRETTY OVERWHELMING FOR HIM, HAVING TO DO ALL THIS WORK WITH 19 GIRLS, SO, YEAH, YOU GOTTA MEET HIM HALFWAY A BIT. WHO IS THAT? ANYONE GOT THE TIME? I DON'T KNOW THE TIME. WHO IS THAT? OH, IT'S` OH! IMAGINE IF SHE JUST RAPS ON HIM ` 'YO, YO, I'M HERE.' HI. HI. HEY SORRY NOT SORRY, BUT COULD I PLEASE INTERRUPT? (CHUCKLES) I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PACK OF LIONS TRYING TO HUNT, LIKE, A GAZELLE. I'M FREAKING OUT. I'M THINKING, SHOULD I JUST RUN AWAY? HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE? ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, LOVELY TO TALK TO YOU TOO, ALLY AND STEPH. THANK YOU, GIRLS. (LAUGHTER) WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY? OH! I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER, ALLY. IS STEPHANIE STAYING? ARE YOU FOR REAL? GET THE (BLEEP)ING OUT.

CAN I COME AND GRAB YOU IN LIKE, FIVE MINUTES? OK, I'LL HOLD YOU TO THAT. (LAUGHTER) MY ROLE IS TO TRY AND TAKE A BIT OF CONTROL OF THE SITUATION AND NOT LET IT GET TOO OUT OF HAND. (GASPS) WHO HAVE WE GO? OH, WHOA, OK. YEAH, UH, WHAT WAS I SAYING? YOU WERE COACHING. YEAH, SO I COACH, UH, KIDS. WHAT HAPPENED? OH, THAT WAS TOTALLY ALL GOOD. I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH THE OTHER GIRLS. LIKE, HE WAS MID-CONVERSATION, AND THEN HE WAS LIKE, 'OH, JUST GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES. I'LL COME FIND YOU.' I'M LIKE, 'I'M GONNA HOLD YOU TO THAT.' (LAUGHTER) 4.59... IT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE. ALL THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING FOR ATTENTION, AND IT WOULD BE QUITE HARD FOR HIM AS WELL, TRYING TO GET TO KNOW ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. I GUESS I HAVE TO TRY AND BE MYSELF AS MUCH AS I CAN, UM, SO I CAN SHOW WHO I AM. YEAH. MY NAME'S JESSICA. I'M 23. I LIVE IN AUCKLAND AND I'M AN EVENTS PLANNER AND CO-ORDINATOR. I GREW UP IN A CITY CALLED HULL, WHICH IS NORTH-EAST ENGLAND, KIND OF YORKSHIRE. WHEN I FIRST CAME OVER TO NEW ZEALAND, I WAS STILL QUITE SHY, QUITE QUIET. BUT THEN I GOT APPROACHED TO DO A PAGEANT, AND I WAS KINDA LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY NOT? I DID IT, AND HONESTLY, I JUST WANTED TO KEEP DOING MORE. I WON A TITLE, MISS TOURISM, AND MANAGED TO GO OVER TO AFRICA AND COMPETE. SO I HAVE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF MODELLING. I ACTUALLY JUST LOVE BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. THAT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL. (SHUTTER CLICKS) I DON'T WANNA SOUND LIKE I'M UP MYSELF, BUT I KIND OF LOVE THE WAY THE PHOTOGRAPHER MAKES ME LOOK. IT JUST BUILDS ON MY SELF-CONFIDENCE, I GUESS. SO, NEW ZEALAND ACTUALLY VOTED ME IN TO COME ON THE BACHELOR. THE WINNER.... (GASPS, SQUEALS) THE EDGE FAN FAVE IS... JESSICA NUTLEY! OH MY GOSH! I JUST HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, I AM THE ONE THAT ENDS UP FINDING LOVE. I'M AT THAT AGE, NOW, YOU KNOW. I WANNA FIND SOMEONE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH. JESS, CAN I STEAL YOU AWAY FOR A SECOND? YES. (LAUGHTER) THANKS. I APPRECIATE THAT. HE'S A MAN OF HIS WORD. WE LIKE IT. SO, AFTER I FINISH WITH ELAINA AND STEPH, I DO THE GENTLEMANLY THING, AND I GO AND FIND JESS. JESS WAS ONE OF THOSE GIRLS WHO MADE A PRETTY GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION. SHE MADE ME LAUGH. WE GO OUT THE BACK, UH, JUST AWAY FROM THE PARTY, JUST TO SPEND A BIT OF QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. SO, I'VE HAD` ALL MY PAST RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN QUITE, UM... JUST NOT REALLY INTO IT QUITE WELL, AND, UM, I JUST OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T QUITE FOUND THAT GUY I REALLY NEED TO. YEAH, YEAH, RIGHT. SO MY CONVERSATION WITH JESS WAS REALLY EASY, JUST REALLY FREE-FLOWING AND THERE WAS LAUGHS, AND WE WERE BOTH, LIKE, STARTING TO REALLY RELAX. ALL REALLY, REALLY NICE PLACES, YEAH. HELLO! HELLO.

SOMETIMES IT FELT LIKE I ONLY GOT A CHANCE TO TALK TO SOMEONE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE ANOTHER GIRL WOULD KINDA WANNA JUMP IN TOO. SO, I'M STUDYING NURSING AT THE MOMENT. I'M, LIKE, IN MY FINAL YEAR. NICE. OH, WOW, COOL. YEAH, IT'S SO MY KIND OF DEGREE. I LOVE IT. I FEEL LIKE I NEED MORE TIME. LIKE, I COULD HAPPILY SIT AND HANG OUT WITH EVERYONE ALL NIGHT, AND I'VE GOTTA SEND THREE GIRLS HOME AFTER THIS. HI. HEY! HELLO. YOU GUYS SOUND IN THE MIDDLE OF A REALLY INTENSE CONVERSATION, SO I CAN, LIKE... I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SPEND TIME WITH ME, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GET TO MEET THEM AS WELL. HI. (LAUGHS) SHALL WE DO A SWITCH? I'M JUST REALLY THANKFUL THAT THEY ALL DON'T HAVE THEIR GUARD UP AND THAT THEY'RE ALL OPEN TO TALKING TO ME AND JUST LETTING ME HAVE A SNEAK PEEK INTO WHO THEY ARE. (SOFT CHATTER) FOR HIM, I ALREADY MADE A RIDICULOUS IMPRESSION, BECAUSE I EMBARRASSED MYSELF. I FEEL LIKE HE DEFINITELY REMEMBERS ME, SO IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK TO ME, HE WILL. I JUST... YEAH, LIKE, WE'RE NOT THAT DESPERATE. I CAN WAIT. YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL. DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL GET YOUR TIME. DON'T WORRY. YOU'LL BE FINE. HELLO. HI! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. YEAH, YOU TOO. I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO CLEAR THE AIR, COS ON OUR FIRST INTERACTION, I FELT LIKE HE INSULTED HIS MUM. MY MUM'S AUSTRALIAN, SO I'M HALF AUSSIE. OOH. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IMPRESSIVE, THOUGH. MY MUM'S IMPRESSIVE, BUT. OH, OK. YEAH... ANYWAY, WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU WAS AFTER OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER, I FEEL LIKE I TOTALLY INSULTED YOUR MOTHER, (LAUGHS) WHEN YOU WERE LIKE, 'SHE'S AUSTRALIAN,' (LAUGHS) AND I WAS LIKE, 'I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THAT IMPRESSIVE.' NAH, SHE TALKS PRETTY GOOD BANTER, SO SHE'D PROBABLY TAKE IT IN JEST. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. BECAUSE, OF COURSE, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU, SO I WAS LIKE, 'I HOPE IT'S NOT AN INSULT.' TOTALLY FINE, YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP. HE LETS THE CONVERSATION FLOW. IT'S NOT AWKWARD AT ALL. SO YOU MOVED BACK FROM AUSTRALIA TO NEW ZEALAND FOR THE JOB? UH, NO, I JUST MOVED BACK BECAUSE I HAD ENOUGH OF THE GOLD COAST. FAIR ENOUGH ` AUSTRALIANS. I FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT AT THE MOMENT. LADIES, HELLO. HI! (LAUGHTER) I'M JUST GONNA SIT DOWN. UM, HOW ARE WE FEELING? GOOD. NOT TOO BAD. AMAZING. HE'S A GOOD GUY. OH, GOOD, YEAH. HE'S A GREAT GUY. HE IS. I GUESS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS THAT HE'S GOTTA MAKE THESE RALLY TOUGH DECISIONS, AND HE'S SUPER NERVOUS ABOUT IT, AND HE'S STRESSED, AND SO HE KIND OF WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS TIME WITH EVERYONE, YOU KNOW? SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO KIND OF SIT DOWN WITH HIM, YOU SHOULD DO THAT. BUT WE DON'T WANNA BE RUDE. WHO'S ACTUALLY HAD SOME TIME WITH HIM? HAS ANY OF YOU GUYS? ME. I INTERRUPTED. YEAH, AND WHAT DID YOU THINK? I'M SPEECHLESS. I WOULD JUST SAY THAT NOW'S THE TIME. (TENSE MUSIC) OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. YEAH, GO! GO, ROSIE, GO! ROSIE, YOU GOT THIS.

YES, ROSIE! I HOPE THAT ZAC CAN SEE THAT I'M FUN. I DON'T TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY. I'M VERY OPEN. I CAN BE QUITE RESERVED WHEN I'M AROUND REALLY BIG PERSONALITIES. BUT WHEN I'M BY MYSELF, I CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONFIDENT. I'M ROSIE. I'M 23, FROM CHRISTCHURCH, AND I'M A PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT. I WOULD DESCRIBE MYSELF AS A VERY POSITIVE, SUNNY PERSON. VERY GENUINE. SOME SAY I'M A LITTLE MYSTERIOUS. SO WHEN I WAS 13 OR 14, I WAS IN A FIGURE-SKATING TEAM IN CHRISTCHURCH. I STILL ENJOY IT NOW. ICE-SKATING FEELS VERY FREEING, AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE DANCING A LITTLE BIT. I THINK I CAN BE QUITE A COMPETITIVE PERSON, BUT OVERALL, ANYONE CAN WHEN YOU'RE PASSIONATE ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN SINGLE NOW FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. MY IDEAL GUY ` SOMEBODY FUNNY, CONFIDENT, ROMANTIC ` THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. SOME PEOPLE THINK I LOOK LIKE SNOW WHITE, SO NOW I JUST NEED MY PRINCE CHARMING. I DUNNO MY FAVOURITE PLACE, BUT I QUITE ENJOY LIVING IN AUCKLAND. HELLO. HI, CAN I HAVE A CHAT WHEN YOU'RE READY? I ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY WENT UP THERE THINKING IT WOULD BE JUST ME AND HIM, BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER GIRL THERE, MONIQUE. DO YOU WANNA COME AND JOIN US? YEAH, TOTALLY. CAN I SCOOCH? YES, YES, YES. OOH, I CAN GO IN THE MIDDLE? YOU CAN GO IN THE MIDDLE. OOH! LUCKY LADY IN THE MIDDLE. OH, IT'S SO WARM HERE. SO, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT PLACES THAT YOU'VE LIVED IN NEW ZEALAND, AND I'VE ONLY LIVED IN AUCKLAND. I'VE LIVED IN CHRISTCHURCH. YOU LIVED IN CHRISTCHURCH? I LIVED IN CHRISTCHURCH TOO. MONIQUE HAS LIVED IN MANY MANY PLACES IN NEW ZEALAND. OH, REALLY? SEVEN PLACES IN NEW ZEALAND. SEVEN IN TOTAL. WOW. FAVOURITE PLACES YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN? I LOVE MELBOURNE. PHILIPPINES IS AMAZING. OH, IS IT? I WAS THERE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WOW. I'VE DONE MY EUROPE TRIP TOO, PARTS OF ASIA` EUROPE WAS AMAZING. BUT I THINK THE NEXT BIG TRIP FOR ME IS U.S.A. HAVE YOU BEEN TO U.S.A.? I'M IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEY'RE JUST TALKING, AND IT'S JUST SO AWKWARD. IN THE REAL WORLD, I GO ON, LIKE, BLIND DATES, AND I'M TOTALLY COOL WITH THAT, SO I'M LIKE` THIS IS KINDA LIKE BLIND-DATING, BUT, LIKE, THE NEXT LEVEL. IT IS, IT IS. SO... I DON'T LIKE TO YELL OVER PEOPLE. IT'S NOT WHAT I DO. IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK. SO IT'S` IT'S HARD. I DIDN'T REALISE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE. UM, I GUESS WE'LL PROBABLY HEAD BACK IN. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. COOL. OK. WE'LL TALK A BIT LATER. COOL, ALL RIGHT. I'M FEELING 50/50. I DIDN'T REALLY GET TO TALK TO HIM BY MYSELF. SO, HOPEFULLY, HE SAW ENOUGH OF ME TO PUT ME THROUGH. HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO HIM YET, SOPH? NAH, BUT I WAS LIKE, HE WILL COME AND TALK TO ME IF HE WANTS TO, YOU KNOW? I'M REALLY CONSCIOUS THAT I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM THE PARTY FOR QUITE A WHILE. I'M JUST GONNA WAIT UNTIL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD A TURN. I'VE TALKED TO QUITE A FEW OF THE GIRLS, BUT I KNOW THERE'S STILL A FEW I HAVEN'T BEEN TO SEE YET, AND THERE'S SOME WHO I REALLY DO WANT TO TALK TO. (GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC) THIS COCKTAIL PARTY.... IT WAS ALL RIGHT. IT WASN'T THE BEST PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN TO. I'M JUST SO HAPPY I HELD HIS HAND. YOU SHUT UP! A LOT OF OESTROGEN FLOATING AROUND THE AIR. I FELT LIKE WE HAD REAL GOOD EYE CONTACT, AND I WAS JUST, LIKE, OH, HE'S SO DREAMY. I GREW UP WITH BROTHERS, SO IT KINDA FREAKS ME OUT, ALL THE CHICKS AROUND ALL THE TIME. LILY. (LAUGHS) WHAT` OH, WHAT DO I DO? I'M A SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTOR. OH, WOW! I WOULD LOVE THAT. MY LAST SUMMER WAS THE SUMMER I SPENT IN AUSTRALIA. HELLO. I'LL JUST... OOH, HELLO. JUST SQUEEZE IN HERE. I'M DEFINITELY, LIKE, A SIT-BACK KIND OF A PERSON. I DON'T REALLY FEEL THE NEED TO TALK UNLESS I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, AND, YEAH, I DIDN'T REALLY FEEL ANY MAJOR NEED TO RUSH OR SWARM THE GUY. LILY? WHY ARE YOU TEMP` YEAH, OF COURSE. (LAUGHTER) BLOODY OATH, MATE. BLOODY` (LAUGHS) MARIANA? YOU DON'T DRINK? STRICT ATHLETE? OH, YEAH. WOW, WERE YOU IN THE NAVY? YEAH. OH, NICE.

I WANNA STEAL HER AWAY. I WANNA KNOW ABOUT HER LIFE. SHE'S DONE INTERESTING THINGS, HELL. I KNOW. I THINK A LOT OF THE GIRLS ARE REALLY COOL, AND, YEAH, I FELT LIKE HE KNEW WHO HE WANTED TO TALK TO, AND THAT'S THE KIND OF MIND-SET I'M GOING INTO, LIKE, I WANNA LET THIS GUY DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO. WHO HASN'T TALKED TO HIM? MARIANA, LILY, ME, A FEW OVER THERE. ROSIE, DID YOU HAVE A CHAT? I HAD A THREE-WAY CHAT. IT WAS GREAT (!) I SAT IN THE MIDDLE. BUT IT WAS FUNNY. IT WAS FUNNY. I FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T` I'VE SEEN AWKWARDER. REALLY? I THINK I WAS JUST MORE` FELT REALLY AWKWARD COS I WAS SITTING IN THE DAMN MIDDLE. THAT'S ALL. BUT IT WAS FUNNY. I'M NOT ANGRY. IT WAS HILARIOUS. I COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS, REALLY. (LAUGHTER) (LAUGHS) COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS. IT WAS FUNNY. IT WAS FUNNY. I STILL GOT TO TALK TO HIM, BUT IT WAS JUST AWKWARD. AFTER THE ONE-ON-ONE, MONIQUE WAS GIVING ME A BIT OF ATTITUDE. SHE'S HAVING A BIT OF A SULK. IT'S` IT WAS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD. YOU WILL. (LAUGHS) IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT THE MOST AWKWARD I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE. I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A LAUGH ABOUT THE WHOLE THING, COS IT'S FUNNY. SHE KEPT SAYING, 'AWKWARD, AWKWARD, AWKWARD.' I THINK SHE THOUGHT IT WAS ANNOYING OR SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN THROUGH AWKWARDER THINGS, BUT IT WAS AWKWARD. I THINK WE'RE FINE. RELAX. I'M ALL GOOD. I'M ALL GOOD. I THINK SHE KIND OF WANTED TO STIR SOMETHING UP A LITTLE BIT. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? DO YOU WANNA SEE WHERE SHE'S GOING? YEAH, OH MY GOD. NO, NO, NO WAY, I'M GOOD NOW. LIKE 'OH MY GOD, I'VE BEEN TO THE PHILIPPINES.' OH MY (BLEEP)ING GOD! I'M FINE. THAT GIRL ` I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING JUST THEN. YOU SAW THAT, EH? DON'T ACT TOUGH. DON'T TRY IT IN FRONT OF ME, COS YOU PICKED THE WRONG WOMAN. # You make me... # You don't have a girlfriend. You don't need a lot of calls or text. You need data ` for dating sites, like Honey Badger. (LAUGHS) You do have a girlfriend. You need less data and more calls ` lovey-dovey calls. # You make me... # You don't have a girlfriend again. She won't return your calls. You need more text. Things change. Now your Prepay can too. Get more of what you need and less of what you don't with Vodafone My Flex Prepay. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) SO, HAVE YOU ALWAYS SWUM? UM, ACTUALLY, I USED TO SWIM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. YEP. I USED TO SWIM AND PLAY WATER POLO. SWITCHED TO OPEN-OCEAN SWIMMING, UM, AND HAD NEVER DONE OPEN-OCEAN SWIMMING BEFORE, AND JUST THREW MYSELF IN AND SET A RECORD FOR HOSPICE. WOW. I BECAME A HOSPICE AMBASSADOR. MUST TRAIN QUITE A BIT THEN. PRETTY FULL-ON. YEAH. IT SEEMS LIKE MARIANA, EVERY TIME SHE OPENS HER MOUTH, THERE'S SOMETHING INTERESTING. I'M REALLY INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT JUST MORE ABOUT HER. GIVE US A RUNDOWN OF YOUR WEEK. SO, I WILL BE HONEST, I'VE GOT A YOUNG 7-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER. YEP. YEAH, SO SHE'S QUITE BUSY WITH HER EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. I'VE GOT THAT; I'VE GOT MY PHD; I'M A LECTURER; I DO COMMUNITY-BASED WORK, UM, FOR MY FUNDRAISERS, WHICH ARE BOOT CAMPS. SO, WE'RE TALKING, LIKE, I'M NOT EVEN SURE I'M, LIKE, WORTHY TO SHARE HER COMPANY. SHE'S A SAINT. IT'S REALLY, LIKE, IF I'M HONEST, A BIT DAUNTING TOO. I GIVE MOST OF MY TIME. YOU DO. YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT I ENJOY DOING, HELPING OTHER PEOPLE. OH, WOW. WOW, THAT'S` YOU'RE` YOU'RE AMAZING. THAT'S.. I'D SAY I THINK HE MIGHT BE KIND OF A SHY GUY. YOU MIGHT MISS YOUR CHANGE OTHERWISE. I DON'T THINK HE'S BOLD ENOUGH TO LIKE, FINISH A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE, I'VE GOT SOMEONE ELSE TO TALK TO. I DON'T THINK HE'S BOLD LIKE THAT. I SHOULD DO IT, EH. (GENTLE CHATTER) IF YOU'RE GONNA DO IT, DO IT NOW. I FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME I SAW, UH, ONE OF THE GIRLS STAND UP AND GO TO SPEAK WITH ZAC THAT TIME IS RUNNING SHORT, AND I NEED TO DO IT. THE WHOLE NIGHT, I'VE HAD THESE INTERNAL DILEMMAS OF WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD TALK TO HIM OR IF I SHOULD JUST BE QUIETLY CONFIDENT IN MY FIRST IMPRESSION. LITTLE CONFLICT IN MY MIND GOING BETWEEN, LIKE, SHOULD I GO STEAL HIM AWAY AND GET THAT ONE-ON-ONE TIME OR SHOULD I NOT AND JUST SIT BACK AND LET HIM COME TO ME? OH, HERE HE IS. GO NOW. GO. GET UP. NO, IT'S FINE. GO RIGHT NOW. TRUST ME. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) HELLO, CLAUDIA. HI! I WENT TO SPEAK WITH HIM, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. I NAY NOT HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE AGAIN, SO.. I'D LOVE TO GO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT IF THAT'S OK. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. ONE GIRL THAT I GUESS, YEAH, CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS CLAUDIA. SHE'S TOLD ME THAT SHE'S BROKEN 19 BONES IN HER BODY, YOU KNOW. I WAS REALLY INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT JUST A LITTLE IT MORE ABOUT THAT. MY NAME IS CLAUDIA. I'M 21 YEARS OLD. I'M BASED IN AUCKLAND BUT CURRENTLY STUDYING DOWN IN DUNEDIN DOING MY DESIGN DEGREE. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ME GOING ON IT, DAD? AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE A BIG GIRL NOW. I'VE GOT NO CONTROL OVER YOU. FAMILY IS DEFINITELY REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. MY BROTHERS, MY BEST FRIENDS, MY PARENTS ARE THE MOST AMAZING, INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. WHATEVER YOU HAVE SET YOUR MIND TO YOU ALWAYS ACHIEVE. I 100% BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. DEFINITELY A HOPELESS ROMANTIC. IF I'M NOT THE ONE FOR HIM, THEN THAT IS FINE. BUT IF I AM, THEN... (LAUGHS) ...WE'LL HAVE AN EXTRA PERSON DOWN HERE NEXT YEAR. NOT THE CAT? I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE I CAN JUST BE MY LOVELY, WEIRD SELF AROUND. SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T MIND IF SOMETIMES I DO, LIKE, A FEW WEIRD IMPERSONATIONS, MAKE A FEW WEIRD VOICES ` JUST LOVES ME NO MATTER WHAT. (ROMANTIC MUSIC SWELLS) OOH, CAN WE GRAB THE BLANKET? UH, YEAH, SURE. ABSOLUTELY. (LAUGHS) YES! YOU SIT DOWN. YES. AND HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU! DO YOU WANT IT OVER YOUR SHOULDER? MAYBE THAT'S PROBABLY BETTER, EH? THAT'S JUST COSY. (LAUGHS) THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. IT WAS REALLY CUTE, AND I KNEW THAT THE REST OF THE GIRLS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE, AND IT JUST WOULD HAVE LOOKED REALLY NICE, LIKE, OH. (LAUGHS) IT FELT SPECIAL. NOW, WHEN I MET YOU, WE DID THE TWO TRUTHS, ONE... YEAH, ONE LIE. ...ONE LIE THING. AND, UM.... I'M SO SORRY FOR THE MOANING MYRTLE! OH, NO, NO. IMITATES MYRTLE: NO, LET'S ALL THROW BOOKS AT M-M-MOANING MYRTLE. FINE. (LAUGHS) I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE BROKEN ALL YOUR BONES. I THINK THAT'S AWESOME. I THINK THAT MEANS THAT YOU KINDA JUST THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND, AND YOU JUST PUT EVERYTHING INTO THINGS. YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY TOUGHENED ME UP. 100%. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I HAD A LITTLE CAR ACCIDENT IN THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR AND BROKE A DECENT AMOUNT OF BONES. A LITTLE CAR ACCIDENT? A LITTLE ONE, LIKE, VERY MINISCULE. AND YOU WERE OK? BUT` OH, YES, NO. IT WAS` I WOULDN'T SAY IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, BUT IT'S BEEN, LIKE` IT WAS A TURNING POINT IN MY LIFE. YEAH? I WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR, LIKE, ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE FOR, LIKE, MY WHOLE FAMILY AND EVERYTHING. BUT IT WAS KINDA GOOD COMING OUT OF IT AND SEEING HOW QUICK MY BODY COULD BOUNCE BACK AND, LIKE, HOW MY MENTAL STATE COULD BOUNCE BACK, COS I THOUGHT IT, LIKE, IT WOULDN'T BE THAT GREAT AFTERWARDS. CLAUDIA'S STORY, IT WAS REALLY INTRIGUING. SHE JUST SEEMS REALLY COMPOSED, AND LIKE SHE JUST HAS A REALLY OLD HEAD ON HER SHOULDERS. I REMEMBER ` I WENT TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL ABOUT A MONTH AFTER MY ACCIDENT, AND I HAD A CAST ON, AND I PUT` IT WAS A PINK CAST, AND I PUT ELECTRICAL TAPE AROUND IT SO THAT IT WOULD MATCH MY OUTFIT. I THINK WE'VE MAYBE STARTED OFF, LIKE, LITTLE CONNECTION, AND I CAN DEFINITELY SEE IT GROWING. I FEEL LIKE WE'D HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT TOGETHER. IT REALLY MADE APPRECIATE AS WELL, LIKE THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY I HAD AROUND ME, LIKE, WHO STUCK BY ME AFTERWARDS. IT WAS REALLY GOOD. YEAH. GUYS. OH, HELLO! HELLO. I'M SORRY TO DO THIS TO YOU, MA'AM. YOU'RE TAKING VERY GOOD CARE OF HIM, BUT I'M GONNA NEED YOU GUYS TO COME DOWN HERE, ALL RIGHT? I WAS GUTTED WHEN DOM CAME ALONG, COS IT WAS NICE TO FIGURE OUT SOME DEPTH TO CLAUDIA AND, YEAH, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT HER. YES, DEFINITELY. (LAUGHS) OH NO, IT'S OVER WHAT? IT'S OVER. I LEFT IT, DIDN'T WANT TO BE RUDE, AND I'VE STUCK TO THAT. YOU WON'T` IT'S NOT RUDE DUDE. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE RUDE. LOTS OF DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES IN THE HOUSE. UM, I THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY FORWARD, AND SOME PEOPLE PERHAPS LEFT IT FAR TOO LATE. (TENSE MUSIC) MAYBE, YOU KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE MADE MORE OF AN EFFORT. LADIES, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH. TONIGHT AS BEEN INCREDIBLE. AS I SAID, YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF HIM, SO THANKS FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR BEING A PART OF THIS, BUT HE'S GOT SOME TOUGH DECISIONS TO MAKE. YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING? YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO REALLY THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. UH, YOU ALL LOOK STUNNING AND AMAZING. I'VE REALLY ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT BETTER, AND I'VE GOT SOME REALLY TOUGH DECISIONS TO MAKE TONIGHT. ALL RIGHT, GUYS, WE'RE GONNA HEAD OFF. WE'LL SEE YOU SHORTLY AT THE ROSE CEREMONY. THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE AND BEING A PART OF IT. WE'LL SEE YOU SHORTLY. (ALL CHEER, SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT) GOOD LUCK. (LAUGHS) UH, GOOD LUCK TO US. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES) GOOD EVENING, LADIES. I WANNA WELCOME TO YOU TO THE FIRST OF OUR ROSE CEREMONIES. NOW, TONIGHT WAS INCREDIBLY EXCITING FOR EVERYONE. ALL OF YOU GUYS ARRIVING, GETTING TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH ZAC, BUT NOW, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE TOUGH. I THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH TO GET A ROSE TONIGHT. I'M JUST HOLDING ON TO THE FACT THAT OUR FIRST MEET WAS UNBELIEVABLE. I HAD BUTTERFLIES IN EVERY PART OF MY BODY. YOU LOOK REALLY AMAZING. I LOVE YOUR HAIR. SO DO YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY HOPE THAT HE GIVES ME THE CHANCE. I'M NOT TOO SURE IF I HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THIS ROSE CEREMONY. AT THIS STAGE, I'M THINKING IT COULD BE ME GOING HOME TONIGHT. THERE'S A THREE-IN-NINETEEN CHANCE THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE GONE. THIS IS IT. THIS IS VERY REAL. I WANNA CONGRATULATE VIARNI ON GETTING THAT FIRST IMPRESSION ROSE. AND WHAT THAT MEANS... (TENSE MUSIC) VIARNI HAS THE POWER TO CHOOSE WHEN SHE WILL GO ON A SINGLE DATE WITH ZAC. IT'S DEFINITELY EXCITING. IT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I CAN HAVE THE UPPER HAND FOR ONE TIME. IF MY NAME WAS READ OUT ON THE CARD, AND IT'S LIKE, 'SWEET, TAYLAR'S GOING ON A SINGLE DATE.' 'WELL, ACTUALLY, I WANNA GO ON THE SINGLE DATE.' I WOULD BE FUMING. BUT THE ROSE WILL ONLY KEEP HER SAFE AT TONIGHT'S ROSE CEREMONY. FOR THE REST OF YOU, ZAC HAS 15 ROSES TO HAND OUT TONIGHT. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A ROSE, YOU WILL BE GOING HOME IMMEDIATELY. I SO WISH I WAS VIARNI'S SHOES. (LAUGHS) IT WOULD MAKE THINGS MUCH MORE RELAXING FOR ME TONIGHT. I'M VERY VERY NERVOUS. MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO JUMP OUT OF MY CHEST. I DON'T WANNA GO HOME. I WANNA WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK, AND IF YOU GUYS ARE READY, HERE'S ZAC. (UNEASY MUSIC) I'M FEELING REALLY NERVOUS. I KINDA FEEL LIKE I MIGHT BE GOING HOME. I DIDN'T REALLY GET THAT ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH ZAC, SO I'M PRETTY SCARED. (TENSE MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) CLAUDIA. OH, GOOD. (LAUGHS) HEARING MY NAME FIRST WAS JUST CRAZY. I KINDA DIDN'T EXPECT IT. I JUST DID THIS LITTLE JUMP, LIKE, OH. OOH. I WAS REALLY HAPPY. WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? I'D LOVE TO. THANKS SO MUCH. (UPLIFTING MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) JESSICA. PHEW. (SIGHS) (LAUGHS) WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE I WILL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT I'M FEELING. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL. I REALLY DON'T. (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) (TENSE MUSIC BUILDS) MOLLY. ME? (LAUGHS) WHEN I HEAR MY NAME, I WAS ABSOLUTELY STOKED. I WAS LIKE, WAIT, IS THAT ME? DID HE SAY MY NAME? MOLLY, WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? YES, YES, YES, THANK YOU. AFTER THAT, I WAS JUST SO RELIEVED AND KNEW I COULD RELAX, BUT THEN I STARTED FREAKING OUT FOR THE OTHER GIRLS AND WHO COULD BE GOING HOME. (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) HANNAH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE SAYS HANNAH. AMAZING FEELING. INDESCRIBABLE. WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW YOU FEEL WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ON A SCALE OF ONE TO 10 OF NERVOUSNESS, I AM A 10. I AM BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS WITH NERVOUSNESS. (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) ROSIE. (WARM GUITAR MUSIC) WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE. THANK YOU. WHEN IS MY NAME GONNA BE CALLED?! SERIOUSLY, ZAC! MY NAME'S NOT GETTING CALLED, SO CONSTANTLY GOING THROUGH MY MIND IS I'M GOING HOME, AND I OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH. LILY. WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE I'LL ACCEPT THIS ROSE. THANK YOU. THE MORE NAMES ZAC STARTS CALLING OUT AND THE LESS ROSES THAT I SEE SITTING THERE, I'M GOING, MAYBE I JUST SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUDE AND GONE UP TO HIM, BECAUSE THIS COULD BE WHY I'M GOING HOME. LUCE. WHEN MY NAME WAS FINALLY CALLED, RELIEF WAS JUST, LIKE, FLOWING THROUGH MY BODY. PHEW. WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE I WILL. THANK YOU. (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) BEL. WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? ABSOLUTELY I WILL. THANK YOU. THANKS. (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) NINA. (LAUGHS) REALLY? OH MY GOD. MY NAME GOT CALLED, AND I WAS LIKE, WHOA! WHAT? THIS IS INCREDIBLE. YOU ACTUALLY LIKE ME. (LAUGHS) I MEAN, I HOPE SO. (LAUGHS) THANK YOU. MARIANA. SURE. (LAUGHTER) THANK YOU. (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) KATELYN. OH. I REALLY JUST DIDN'T THINK KATELYN'S NAME WOULD BE CALLED OR AT LEAST CALLED BEFORE MINE. I JUST FIND HER VERY IMMATURE. (TENSE MUSIC RESUMES) STEPHANIE. YES! (LAUGHTER) YES! (LAUGHS) WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE. OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) ALICE. YAY! (LAUGHTER) WHEN ZAC DOES EVENTUALLY CALL MY NAME, WAS LIKE, 'YAY! THANK YOU, GOD! IT WAS SUCH A SURPRISE. I WAS JUST LIKE, YEAH, BABY! (LAUGHS) WHISPERS: COWABUNGA! (LAUGHTER) (DRAMATIC MUSIC RESUMES) THERE'S ONLY TWO MORE ROSES LEFT, SO NOW I'M PLANNING MY GOODBYE. I KNOW THAT TAYLAR'S GOT ONE, AND ELAINA'S GOT THE OTHER. YEAH, I'M DEFINITELY GOING HOME. STANDING THERE AND THE ROSES GO DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN, YOUR HEAD IS, LIKE, AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER. IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE. (DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES) SOPHIE. (GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC) WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? YES, DEFINITELY. THANK YOU. (DRAMATIC MUSIC RESUMES) (CLOCK TICKS) MY HANDS ARE SHAKING. LIKE, IT IS HORRIBLE. IT IS A HORRIBLE FEELING. I DIDN'T END UP HAVING A CHAT WITH HIM, SO I'M NERVOUS NOW. IT'S TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL. (DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES) OH MY GOD, IT'S SO NERVE-WRACKING. MY HEART'S POUNDING. JUST STARING AT THE FLOOR, I DON'T WANT TO EVEN, LIKE, THINK. JUST WAITING TO HEAR THE NAME. (DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS) TAYLAR. OH MY GOSH! (GASPS) WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE? OF COURSE I WILL. THANK YOU. OH... (SOMBRE PIANO MUSIC) LADIES, IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A ROSE TONIGHT, TAKE A MOMENT AND SAY YOUR GOODBYES. (GENTLE CHATTER) (SOMBRE MUSIC SWELLS) BYE. I HOPE HE FINDS TRUE LOVE AND WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR. IT WAS LOVELY GETTING TO KNOW YOU, HOWEVER SHORT IT WAS. LOVELY TO MEET YOU TOO, ELAINA YEAH, YOU TOO TAKE CARE. IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE, EVEN FOR JUST THE SHORT TIME I WAS HERE, AND I'VE MET SOME LOVELY LADIES. I'VE MET A WONDERFUL GUY, THOUGH I'M NOT WITH HIM. (LAUGHS) AND, HEY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY MAD RAPS, YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO. (LAUGHS) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING, AND GOOD LUCK. TAKE CARE. OBVIOUSLY, WE WEREN'T THE RIGHT MATCH. I HOPE HE DOES FIND THE RIGHT MATCH THROUGH THIS PROCESS. HE'LL BE SO LUCKY. SUNDAY AT 7PM ` THE VERY FIRST SINGLE DATE... ZAC: I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY POTENTIAL THERE. ...SETS TONGUES A-WAGGING,... (ALL GASP) WHAT?! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. ...WHILE THE GROUP DATE... WE'RE GONNA BE COMPETING IN THREE SURF-LIFESAVING RACES. ...SEES THE LADIES FALLING OVER THEMSELVES... TO GET SOME ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH ZAC,... TO HER, THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. YEAH, I STARTED TO THINK THERE WAS SOMETHING QUITE REAL THERE. ...BEFORE AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED COCKTAIL PARTY... HEY, LADIES. I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE A LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE CHAT WITH YOU.
