Stuck. You can watch it on their website (you may need Hola Unblocker or similar to view). TBNZ is using the same template as BachCan (same video hosts) as well as Michael Hill jeweller, so that bodes well!

Here is the link:

Will also post in links thread.

Thank you! I will try to watch tonight. One of my favorite students I tutored here is from NZ and I have a soft place in my heart for them. I hope all are well with the recent cyclone.

No prob Stuck. Yes, thoughts and prayers needed!

Here is reply to posts from general thread since discusses Ep 1.

Same here!! How good looking is he? Matilda will be F1, I'm calling it now. They were so cute together when he tripped right after telling her to watch her step

Hehe! That moment was really cute, she's definitely going far! Who else did you like? Poppy made me laugh a lot, hope she stays on for awhile!
Loving him as a lead so far, especially considering the last bach season I watched was Au # 2 (Blake bleh!).

Also loving it so far! Arthur "Art" seems like such a nice guy — very down to earth and humble. That moment was hilarious when he tripped after warning Matilda about doing so. Gave them a chance to be dorks together (something he mentioned he wanted in someone). They are really adorable together.

Matilda seems to be a lovely girl, inside and out!  Interesting that she works at the company that the show is produced/aired by... (but not thinking that it is  anything troubling, though) Had picked Matilda for F1 (and she is already a fan favorite based on comments on FB) but not entirely sure...  

So far for Matilda:
1) First Intro Video in first episode
2) First girl out of limo
3) First girl to receive a rose before rose ceremony (basically first impression rose; only other girl to receive a rose before RC was  Danielle L. - the criminal! ).
4) Has multiple PIs where she is talking in different outfits, so she definitely goes far!
5) Her SM matches what she is portrayed to be on the show -- down to earth, open, all-around great girl.

SM can be misleading, or, more often, tell the true story. Speaking of which, he seems definitely taken with Amanda (the mother of twins) and am currently trying to figure out why Art is friends with Amanda on Facebook. She also 'likes' Facebook posts on TBNZ wall about Art (only positive ones that talk about how amazing he is). 

Re: Screencaps
Lots of ITMs/PI's/Previews of dates with Dani, Kristie, Amanda, Natalie, Chrystal, Matilda (?), etc... that can be sleuthed out if anyone wants to do this?

YAY! So glad you are watching AllAboutLove! I remember how good your sleuthing was for Bach AU, this will be a fun season!
That's interesting news about Amanda, they seemed to have a spark on the first episode so looks like lots more to come!!  
Oh and I also spotted that Shivani is also friends with Art... Could just be a friendly bunch?

If possible--let's try to snip. It makes getting through lengthy posts a bit easier. Thanks!

  Just checked and you are correct! Interesting then who he is not friends with: Matilda being one of them. :cutesmile!:

What I gathered awhile back (Filming stopped end of Feb):
--Amanda back on FB Feb 18
--Matilda back on FB Feb 26
--Chrystal already is promoting herself, so unlikely she is F1
--Alysha is pretty invisible for SM, so hard to ascertain when she got back on FB. Lots of her in promos though, so one to watch.
--Dani is also posting a lot on SM.

ETA: Have additional info on other contestants/SM, and can make ScreenCaps etc, but don't want to flood the board. Not sure how many will be sleuthing along with us for TBNZ? Makes it difficult not to flood the board when so few post so may sit this one out if not enough posters and don't want to be taking up room.

Looks like Alysha first posted back on insta just over a week ago. Art liked the post too. She's with her pooch and she calls him her # 1 man along with # happygirl # thelittlethings. Not sure if it's a happy or sad vibe to the post.
Would love you to post all your sleuthing goodness!!

There are contestant threads for some of them, thanks to Maddy for posting pics of them individually.

If someone has the rest, individual pics/bio's so I can make threads for the remaining that would be great. PM them to me.

Any info can be put into the individual contestant threads.

I created a Screen Cap thread, NO Discussion. If anyone wants to discuss/sleuth any screen caps, they can be brought over to the sleuthing thread. If demand warrants, we'll open a s/cap discussion thread.

All individual bios can be found here http://www.tv3.co.nz/Shows/TheBachelorNZ/Bios/TheBachelorettes.aspx including the additional contestants not listed (just click on each name and bio detail page for each opens).

4 girls no longer on the show after 1st RC: Rosie (during RC, on her own), Nikki, Fiona, and Michelle.

Kapiti can you add SM for contestants, if wanted or perhaps have a SM, Media, etc thread add there?

This link won't work in my area. Any other way to view it?
