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

Preview for next episode:

Helicopter shot

SD? - Could be Gabs based on hair? Not sure though - maybe a 2nd SD?

GD - on horses (every time I see a horse date I think of Matilda). Naz, Storm, Rebecca, not sure who else?

CP - Ceri saying to Jordan she is a little disappointed in him to be honest. Looks like some more drama with Naz (because of course there is, it won't be TB if there is not).

RC - looks like someone is going home but I am wondering when Jordan may possibly send no one home? There's 8 girls and 8 episodes left (excluding AFTR) so maybe one RC all stay?

After Ep 11 still feels like maybe Storm or Fleur for F1 with possibly Rebecca? Not sure about Ceri. Naz may go further based on Jordan. Kate, Erin, and Gabs - feels like MOT for them.

I'm still wanting for that "aha" moment to see Jordan fall in love or have more softening/vulnerability and chase...

The SD is Gabs for sure....per the episode description which I posted in the SM thread it implies that a single date finally for someone, she is the only yet without one.

Technically only 5 episodes for dates left if they follow the same script as Art's season where they split the HTDs over 2 episodes & 1 episode for the F3 Fantasy dates.

So if 5 episodes for single/group dates....I see Rebecca, Ceri, Fleur with single dates....who else would get a second single date? I am confused with the # of girls left & how the elimination will work out.

If 2 girls are eliminated this week....I wonder if it's Sarah & Kate....and if that's the case with potentially 3 to 4 single dates remaining per the projected schedule before HTDs....does Naz get a second single date??? Geez these next couple of single dates should be very interesting

Thanks for posting this @mercieme I think you are spot on about Tuesday being Gab SD based on preview. Also spot on about Sarah going home already  

Not sure who faces up to her past? Ceri? Naz? Based on CP preview seems like something to do with them maybe?

Oh that's right @mercieme I forgot about the HTDs two episodes only 1 RC so it could be one girl leaves each RC until FRC.

Based on the tentative Episode schedule, I am wondering if perhaps one week there may only be one episode? Otherwise they will split HTDs over different weeks considering FRC Monday, May 9th? Last year they split HTDs into 2 episodes but in the same week so not sure how they will do it this week? Maybe in one episode or different somehow?

20 episodes in total (if 2 episodes per week continue & including Live ATFR/WTA special following final episode).

Episode schedule:  
Week 1 (Mar 7/8) = Ep 1/2 (Rebecca FIR, Sarah SD; Fleur SQT GDR)
Week 2 (Mar 14/15) = Ep 3/4 (Storm SD; Shari SD)
Week 3 (Mar 21/22) = Ep 5/6 (Kate SD; Rebecca SD)
Week 4 (Mar 28/29) = Ep 7/8 (Ceri SD; Fleur SD)
Week 5 (Apr 4/5) = Ep 9/10  (Naz SD, Erin SD, Rebecca SQT)
Week 6 (Apr 11/12) = Ep 11/12 (Storm SD and Kate SQT; Gab SD, SQT?)

... which means possibly (if 2 episodes per week continues)...

Week 7 (Apr 18/19) = Ep 13/14 (second SDs?)
Week 8 (Apr 25/26) = Ep 15/16 (second SDs? and HTDs ?)
Week 9 (May 2/3) = Ep 17/18 (HTD and FDs ?)
Week 10 (May 9) = Ep 19/20 (Finale/MTP/LCD/FRC & live ATFR/WTA)

Week 7 (Apr 18/19) = Ep 13/14 TV Guide summary: http://www.freeviewnz.tv/tvguide/

Ep 13: A slow burning relationship takes a trip in the fast lane. Later some animal antics bring out a touch of animosity.

Ep 14: Back on home turf, a step-by-step approach takes one Bachelorette to new heights. Then, the pursuit of adventure leaves some girls wanting more.

Either single date for Monday or Tuesday could be Ceri or Rebecca maybe?

Single date next week "slow burning" maybe Ceri if she doesn't leave? She mentioned no kiss on first date and wanting one on second date so maybe her? Or Rebecca to build on what they have?

Other single date for Tuesday, maybe Rebecca if Ceri gets other one? Or Ceri if next step is kissing on 2nd date and ties into that?

Also looks like next week Tues they will be back in NZ. So likely there for HTDs then travel somewhere else or stay in NZ for FDs, FRC?

Wow....thanks for posting the episode previews @Allaboutlove.

I am also thinking either Rebecca / Ceri for Episode 13/14 not sure the split though. If Fleur gets the last single date in Episode 15 & gets a rose similar to Matilda then that's a big plus for Fleur as F1. Also I checked Fleur's Bschelor NZ FB & she has being posting daily on it...she sure is active on that FB page compared to Rebecca & Storm....no clue what that means though.

I am also spilt on on whether Ceri or Rebecca get which date. The one date would be in Australia the other back in NZ so not sure what that means? I think Ceri may get the date in Australia if they want her to talk more about how she has had dates in all countries or something (she mentioned this in ITM before?). Rebecca if her 2nd SD is in NZ then that means she never had a SD anywhere else?

I think you are correct and Fleur may get the last SD like Matilda did. Her talking about HTDs with Jordan could make it foreshadowing if she gets a rose like Matilda did which solidified a HTD. I can still see Fleur as F1 then if so.

With SM: I am not sure. Matilda was active on her Twitter and she was liking tons of pics of herself and Art on IG when the show was airing so she was very active although not posting pics of herself on the show like Dani was. I noticed Jordan has liked pics of lots of the girls that have been eliminated (Sarah). He has liked pics of Rebecca as well. I have yet to see him like IG pics of Fleur or Storm (CMIIW) - makes me think him not liking pics means more since outlier? So thinking still they may be F2 and possibly Fleur F1? I always think this show/lead takes the two he likes most to FRC regardless of how it is leading on, etc, so I can see them both as F2.

I foreshadow Jordan getting into counselor mode especially if it's Storm he gets rid of at the F2...should be interesting indeed.

Should be interesting indeed. Is that why The Spinoff in their recaps/power rankings says Jordan is like a "dad" and in "Dad mode"?

Thanks for the play by play!
