Bachelor New Zealand - Art Green - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers*

Good point about advertizing but I think that is already solidified ahead of time, but as you said, the audience growing and ratings (I haven't looked those up) may play a role.

There doesn't seem to be a WTA. We have been told what each episode will entail for the next 4 episodes (two weeks). And no mention of an ATFR. The fact that there are 4 more episodes and the last will air on the Wednesday (the 2nd episode of that week) if they do announce an ATFR then that may be why they didn't announce the final so as to get sponsors for ATFR which so far has not been announced. And if there is one? When they will air that I don't know? after the finale? Bach Aussie Season 1 had it the next day.

If there is no ATFR then maybe they will just do interviews the next day or something. I did find it interesting that this show never even let the audience know who the bachelor was until the first episode aired. Every other franchise builds interest through letting the lead be known. Maybe it was the 1* of separation in NZ that caused them not to say who it was since he would then be spotted while filming and it spoiled more easily. That's my best guess.

Guess we will see what will happen on HTDs next week.

Canada, US and AU may have also more budget for the franchise so more episodes?

I do think if there's no ATFR then most likely ART and his lady will be doing interviews the next day.

Just watched Jono and Ben. They are making fun of the cat in Matilda and Arts date. I dont think they have showed video or even made fun of a date like that before. Hint, Hint, same network!
scene starts at 3:50

also interesting. They have a quiz on there website

They have 4 questions about Matilda and 3 about Dani. They got the most questions.

Did it air with the cat laying like that beside them?

OT do they have poppies on their lapels?

They had poppies on the lapels for anzac day to honor those who fought in wars, like the brits. Plus there was a nod to poppy towards the end when they had foreign comedians guess what happened next on "famous" NZ tv moments.

the cat was totally hilarious... they kissed and he was on his back, tummy in the air, looking totally stoned by the cat grass!!!

one minute he was awake and next shot totally asleep. It was so hilarious to see the edits!!! I so wanted to take the plain and adopt him! awwwe

I laughed so much when I saw arthur turning around and around and around and around on the boat in this tiny pond.

This reminded me the cat pooping at one of the US franchise, forgot which one or the dog peeing with Ashley. Bloopers!!!

This is why I asked. Canadians wear poppies for the same reason on Remembrance Day Nov 11th.

I just watched the latest epi.  Art made it very clear that at the end of this he is hoping to have a gf and maybe fall in love.  This certainly explains the pace of the relationships. 
I'll be curious to see where this ends up. 

Loved the languishing cat!

I didn't know the Canadians did that as well. It makes sense and everything.
*Side note:Do you guys participate in the common wealth games/ are you part of the common wealth?

OT Yes and yes. Canada is in 2nd place for the most hosted Common Wealth Games.
