Whatever happens tonight, I love both these girls and all three of us deserve the very best. It's sad to read how some people can be very hurtful with their words. Remember that we're all human and that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Everyone has their story. Good luck @erin_higgo and @nazanin.khanjani. #letsbekind

This girl is amazing inside and out! Like you said, everything happens for a reason and there's one hell of a lucky guy out there for you. Keep smiling and doing your Gollum impressions ;)        

Erin declines Jordan's sleepover and gets dumped



The episode opens with Fleur, Naz and Erin meeting in someone’s art-crammed house (probably an affluent producer), where they debrief over their home visits and introducing “the potential” to their families.



Fleur, who incessantly thinks only her experiences are best, is surprised to learn Jordan had great hometown visits with the other girls, too. Will she ever learn?

Mikey P arrives looking relaxed. No wonder, his job is nearly done. Naz reads the card and the women learn they are going to Jordy’s hometown of Canterbury. It’s Naz’s hometown too, and she’s ecstatic.



“Growing up in Canterbury has made me the person I am today,” Jordy tells the camera in what's meant to be another poignant attempt to sound deep. The Batch’s arrival on screen heralds the usual slo-mo treatment, but this time he’s dressed - not topless. Phew.

Jordy is sporting country casuals: checked shirt and RM Williams boots. It’s the Cantab uniform.



He meets Fleur at the dock in Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula, and they head out on an eco-tourism cruise to swim with pintsize Hector’s dolphins - the world’s rarest sea mammals.

They wetsuit up and splash about with the dolphins.

The cameraman is moving too - too much, frankly - and the TV shots are jumping about with manic enthusiasm bringing on a case of motion sickness. I’m retching at the TV screen, and not because Jordan has said something typically nauseating.

Fleur The Agreeable, is blissful and the pair share a longing kiss on the stern of the runaround. The jets of waves froth phallically behind them.



Next scene, and they’ve changed out of their wet clothes to arrive at the historic 1880s homestead of Annadale, where rooms cost up to $5000-a-night. It’s apt for the old-fashioned girl.

The romance is short-lived as Jordy, the competitor, challenges Fleur to a cooking competition. There’s seemingly no staff in the hotel and the pair have to cook and fend for themselves. Jordy sees this as an opportunity to show off his culinary skills.



He’s paying no attention to his supposed date, and all his love and affection is directed at the plate.

“I tried, I did my best,” Fleur says, acting like a faithful labrador looking for a pat on the head.

Jordy replies patronisingly: “And you’ve done really well.”

The passionate sleepover night with Fleur does not start well.

Nonetheless, they sit down to a meal and get on well. They sit in front of the fire, and Fleur convinces him that romance doesn’t need months to foster. “When you know, you know,” she says emphatically, sealing her argument with a kiss.



The batch invites her to stay the night, away from the cameras, and Fleur can’t contain her excitement despite her attempt at a dramatic pause as if she’s mulling it over.

“I think that’s a pretty good idea,” she says. “It feels pretty right.”

Feels. Pretty. Right. Talk about boring foreplay! The whole scenario seems so lacking in passion.

He escorts her hand-in-hand to the bedroom suite. And that’s all we’re shown. Our imagination is left to wonder what went down in the bed chamber.

Unlike the American version, The Bachelor NZ won’t resort to cutaway shots of bedraggled undergarments on the floor, ruffled bed sheets and the morning-after conversation. This is the Disney version of sexcapades. We are left to imagine the love-making.



Next scene, and the next girl rolls in for her overnight stay.

Erin saunters up the path to Peel Forest Scenic Reserve in South Canterbury where she learns she’s in for some white water rafting on the Rangitata River, where Lord of the Rings was filmed.



The pair take off with their guide, and the fun and the rapids flow fast. Erin and Jordan are well matched.



They leave the river for a drive to Seascape on the Annadale station - the same place where Fleur’s date was held. This part of the property, though, rests on the rugged cliffs of a picturesque private bay, at $3400 a night.

“Erin is all class,” the batch says, as he proudly shows off that tonight's dining extravaganza will be cooked by their own private chef. At this stage, I'm feeling for Fleur who had to compete for her supper.

A private chef cooks their meal.



“I can see a future with Erin,” Jordy says, “and I think she can too.” He saio he felt comforted and reassured when he met her family.

The pair hit it off and look like a real couple. Jordy asks her to stay the night, with the lure of scrambled eggs and a sunrise.

BUT.... QUELLE SURPRISE!

Erin turns him down! She rejects the batch's offer. She rebuffs him! Good girl!

Jordan is clearly crushed. It’s not the answer he was expecting. He looks like a stunned mullet, a schmuck, and fobs off his disappointment with an attempt to sound understanding. But it's clear this was not the answer he was wanting.



“No worries,” he says, clearly miffed. “No, I totally respect that.” But it's clear he doesn’t.
Oh dear, Jordy's acting skills have deserted him.

Erin says she won’t sleep with him until she gets to the end and knows she’s the only girl in Jordan’s life. For now, she’s not prepared to share him and her body. Hooray Erin.

And just like that, she becomes the poster girl for women who claim their sexuality on their terms. And we love her. She won't sleepover just to ensure she has a place in the game.



Next scene, and it's Naz's turn for a fantasy date. The pair meet at the water's edge, and Naz in a sexy bodycon dress and leather jacket, has to scramble over stones for her man.

They board the Waimak Alpine Jet on the crystal blue Waimakariri River. When they’re not flying at high speed across the water’s surface, they’re passionately kissing.



He takes her hand-in-hand to an eco-friendly, glass-walled PurePod on Little River, which is only accessible by a 600m bush track. There’s no neighbours, no TV, no internet and no cellphone coverage. Naz is trapped.

They lie in the long grass and talk about, well, their “journey so far”. They look happy, relaxed and like a real couple.



Naz says she regrets not keeping her opinions to herself and for not trusting Jordan more. She means her hit list.

Jords says - and looks to mean it - that he’s getting serious with Naz. “I really think I’ve met someone I’m truly falling for.” The women with many words responds simply: “Ditto.”

He asks her to stay the night with the offer of seeing the night sky, and Naz mulls it over. She’s conflicted. She can’t ignore, she says, the two other dates before her.

“Yeah, I’ll stay,” she says finally, and Jordy is happy. But to be honest, he can’t really afford another rejection.

Their bond is touchy feely and affectionate. They can’t stop kissing and touching each other. Their romance is passionate, sexual and enticing.



Next day, and it’s bro time. Mike sits Jordy down for the big decision. Which girl is going home? Will it be Fleur who seems too eager and agreeable? Or Erin who wouldn’t commit to intimacy? Or Naz whose fiery personality is provocative?

“They all have such amazing qualities and why they haven't been gobbled up and in a relationship before this, is hard to believe,” the batch says. “The right girls are here.”

Not it’s the final rose ceremony at Riccarton House. The girls are glitzed up and there’s more dramatic pauses than a telenovela soap opera.

“This decision,” Jordy says, “is so hard to make. It’s like breaking up with somebody.”



Mikey P does his best to prolong the inevitable. His long, long, long sentences and pregnant pauses are worse than the wait Dom Bowden incites on those other reality shows.

The drama plays out and plays out. How much can producers milk out of this rejection scene?

And... finally....

Naz is safe! She gets her rose.

Fleur is in too!



It’s Erin! She misses the rose and the next round. She gives a philosophical answer, saying “it's not meant to be”, but I can't help wondering if her unwillingness to commit to stay the night with Jordan was a contributing factor in his axing her.

Had she stayed the night with him would she still be here?

I think he cut the wrong girl.
Naz and Fleur are going through to the final. See you Monday night for the big finale.
