Bachelor New Zealand - Jordan Mauger - Season 2 - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers*

Ooooh... Fleur, Rebecca, and Erin talking about what Storm's date may be about.
Feels like producer prodded moment "talk about Storm and her date"

Rebecca is hilarious. She says she thinks it is something to do with cricket and take over the whole pitch. I really like her. She seems so natural and real. Lovely woman.

Erin says she hopes they get a good time to chat because Storm was very upset at the last CP and she hopes they have to a long chat and get everything out in the open. She sounds like she is either reading a script (repeating what producers have told her to say) or else she is cementing that she is just a MOT girl.

Fleur says Storm is not someone that talks about her feelings (so opposite of what Kate says?).

In ITM, Fleur says part of her thinks it will be a lot easier for her if Jordan and Storm don't reconnect as it would be better for her (Fleur).

Hmm... not sure what to make of that.

I think Storm and Fleur know they are each other's competition so to speak which explains they both seem insecure/emotional after each of them has a date.

Erin saying she thinks Storm will come back with a rose.
Rebecca saying she hopes she does.
Fleur says nothing just looking on?

Hmm... It really does feel like this is Storm vs Fleur show and the other girls may be aware of this?

Right now I am thinking Storm? Not sure though... feels like Storm vs Fleur show still... not too sure about Jordan what he's looking for either. Feels more like he is wanting to appease the girls (Storm) than build the relationship? Feels like early days to be trying to reassure? Not sure...

Night portion with Jordan and Storm.
Nice romantic fireplace.
Storm says she still likes Jordan wants to get to know him more.
Jordan saying they are on the right track to connecting on another level.

Jordan is so hard to read.
It's odd but even though he is reassuring etc I don't see him chasing

Storm tells Jordan she is trying to figure him out.

Me too, Storm, me too.

Storm talks like she is the winner already and is just biding her time until he picks her in the end.

That's how she is coming across to me - like she has it in the bag - and is stressed about the process more than the connection with Jordan?

It's odd though because I don't feel the connection that much between them but the words she says are F1 I'd think?

Jordan tells Storm he thought she would leave last episode and would be "gutted" if she did.

Is this the equivalent of Art telling Matilda on their second date that the whole thing would be over if Matilda left?

I don't know. I'm not seeing the emotion here from Jordan. Lots of reassuring words but not much emotion?

Jordan says he has spent time with those he is not clear on so maybe it backfired with Storm whom he is clear on?

Where's Danielle the lawyer? She helped Art to get focused on building romantic/life-partner connection. As much as Jordan is older than Art was I don't see him any more mature than Art. It's like Jordan needed the girls to go into meltdown mode to start expressing some feelings? Yet even though so hard to read. :/

If Jordan falls in love it will be nice to see but not expected. I just hope whatever he has with his F1 he builds on into falling in love off or on the show.
