The only time Ali really put herself forward was at the cocktail party when she joined a group of girls to talk to Tim. I think Sarah is as smitten as Ali but the girls don't seem to like Ali. The kiss with Anna? I think it was hard to tell from the way it was shot and Tim looked as nervous as she was. Then they were under his jacket. During the day he said in a vo that he liked her looking more natural although she looked beautiful at cocktail parties.  No doubt he is attracted to her.

:Frown: I was hoping she was not involved in the beatdown.  Oh well..

I think it looks like Ali and Sarah have a heart to heart next week and make peace.

Make peace about what? Thanks for the update.

I found it interesting that out of all the women he pulls Rochelle aside to talk, don't you?

I guess I'm confused.  That wasn't Sarah Mae in that cave, but Natalie?  Does Natalie have dark hair?

Beat down?  I think it's good to get things out in the open.  

Bad choice of words?!

I think I started something and now I'm confused. Alana and Belle confronted Tim as he was finishing off with Ashlee who had just said something similar to Tim about him not being interested to her. Alana dragged Rochelle and Danielle to join them - both who did not really want to be in the conversation.

No...did not start anything. So happy we have you to bombard with questions. My comment was only that I was sorry that Ali joined the group because she is already thought of as cray cray. I do not understand why because she normally do not say anything a bad about the others.

I don't think they were and she said she wanted to kiss him. I think Tim will usually will give them a nudge to make the first move as you'll see with Anna tonight, as per Catherine last week and Ali, normally it's after a drink - think from the promo we will see it again with Danielle. Certainly what he said to Sarah would have been encouraging to her.

I'd have to go back to the order he has called out at each rc but it's not the first time I've thought the first half he has called out are his favourites for that week. I think Anna is usually around the top.

No that's fine, I know how it is when the positions are reversed and I come to this board to find out what has happened in the US versions, sometimes I don't get to see the actual episode for a couple of days and it's frustrating.

Ali did not join the ambush group she joined a group when Tim first came in just to chat and she said something about always popping up - the other girls did not seem to like it and not sure Tim did either.

Aha moment. Makes more sense now. Wonder if that was a heads up to Ali. Now it makes me wonder if he gives her a rose next week since we do not see her in any other screen caps.

 I guess I'm totally confused! I totally thought that was Sarah Mae in the cave and it was Natalie?  That's Penny he's kissing in the ocean, right?  

Did they indicate what the group date is next week?

Then there's the carnival date...how many episodes are there?

Then there is what seems to be Rochelle he's kissing in a hot tub or whatever.  

I'm confused!

So, Tim still hasn't kissed Sarah Mae?

Don't we see her in the promo with her saying she is in love with him?

Unless there is another cave date, Natalie was in Jenolan Caves with him tonight. I'm not sure who it is in the ocean.

Next week group date is looking after puppies. Maybe an animal shelter?

I think that is Rochelle and he has not kissed Sarah.

Here's a great article by Ashlee about her experience! I love how frank and real she is about it.

Thanks for posting.  Surprise that she was able to say so much.  Like this the best:

Unfortunately The Bachelor really is what it seems, a bunch of girls hanging out in a house waiting for a man to give them permission to leave. What the audience doesn't see is how much fun we have as a group living in the house. For myself and I'm sure some others, that was the true prize worth fighting for and the real reason we'd dread the rose ceremony.

You can't take being eliminated from this show personally. I believe many of those eliminated could have been the kind of person who Tim would have hit it off with in the 'real world'. However they weren't playing the game in the right way. On my last night, Tim said to me that he needed girls on the show who could talk to him easily on camera and make him feel more comfortable. I know I didn't do that.

True, but also that it is a lot of fun for them with the gals and that's the real reason why most cry when leaving.

^ So true, you can always tell which girls got to become such close friends when one of them goes home over the other, as seen on the US seasons.

Finally got to watch:  
Dani:  Do not think he is really into Dani.  He had the opportunity to speak with her longer and he did not.  

Sarah Mae:  The talk with Sarah seemed so staged.  Not sure he is really that into her.  He is saying the right words but not sure.

Anna: What's up with all the giggles from Anna.  Geez.  That would really get on my nerves.  It seems that she hides behind that so as not to get to close to Tim.  Tim is saying all these wonderful things about her and may really be interested... But still...funny that he said the only way to stop the giggles is to kiss her.
wanted to add.  The kisses were sweet but why would he do it then.  Why make their first "pash" stealing away from the other girls.  Seem demeaning.  Plus did they not have a conversation before then.  Their conversation was it has been a few weeks since they spoke. It seem strange.

Rochelle:  She seems so mature.  Starting to like her a lot.  She shows compassion and empathy.
