No, hopefully, someone can work it out. Yes, time seems to be of the essence Lily and Rose have the bit of Charisma, that something that will draw people's interest V is lovely and is compatible with Zac.I would like to see Lily and Rosie up there but I think it will be F1 Viarni F2 Hannah F3 Bel F4 Claudia F5 Lily F6 Taylar F7 Rosie but Rosie and Lily would spice it all up otherwise it is quite predictable.

IA however im going with Sarah in top 4....i think next week in the double elimination Karina and Vanessa will go....then hopefully 2nd single dates will start...

ETA: IMO top 3 Hannah, Viarni and Bel just not confident on the order...im tossing between V and Bel as F1

Hello bach fans; I am always here but haven't posted for a while. I have to say I really enjoy the international shows because everyone is knew or unknown from prior shows etc. like US. But I have been lurking and just wanted to say "HI" and just wanted to share my thoughts like LeapofFaith did above. ITA with her thoughts!

Viarni - I like her but there is something I just don't see the physical attraction or touchy feely like Zach likes. TPTB has shown ART giving rose to Matilda when she broke her arm. So, when Viarni was sick (you know they recorded it) so why keep it out of the episode. They showed her being so sick and her mentioning how sick she is, why not show it. Would TPTB match F1 exactly like Art and Matilda First Out of the Limo, First Impression Rose, Missed RC due to health/accident, she is narrating etc. If so then obvious why most here have her at F1. She isn't my favorite for Zach because he needs someone with sense of humor and I haven't seen her make him laugh. But we shall see.

Hannah - What I see, especially in this last episode CP chat is when they showed their hands she was touch him not him touching her. I also thought the same thing during their SD she was rubbing his back and he didn't react to her at all. I have to agree with the discussion about who was immature and Lucia/Molly etc said Hannah. Also would TPTB show the F1 with immature talk with Lucia and Katie....and her being 29 years old and immature comments.

Bel - I like her but I just don't see it as F1 and I hope it starts to turn around for me to be onboard her being F1. The last CP chat about her cats put her in friend zone to me and Zach's face was interesting. I find myself not really invested in her and Zach.

Sarah - I like her a lot and Zach does too. I think the game changed because of Sarah so this next episode with their SD it just might do that exact thing. Zach is a smitten kitten but I think he is a little immature or out of her league IMO. But next episode will be interesting.

Lily - I have to say I love this girl and I love Zach around her. I see the sexual tension between these two but she is young in age and since she hasn't had a so called 1:1 (she did get an actual 1:1 date card on airplane) she adds a lot of spice to the show with Zach. Zach has been the most relaxed with Lily then any other girl IMO. She is the TPTB reaction face shot winner IMO. What does that mean? Zach will realized that the age difference and no direction will be her downfall IMO.

Claudia - She is Dani in Art's season IMO. Not F1

Jesse - No romance ??? MOT

Rosie - No romance to me. She is too prim and proper for Zach. IMO

So, I don't have a F1 but just wanted to post my thoughts since I am looking forward to the coming weeks with this sweet, fun loving, genuine guy.

@4health Fantastic insights and yes, IA re Viarni but he does seem to like her that spark is there with Lily  :Woah-hoo:  as you say she is young yet they do have common interests. IMO I suspect Ally may go soon and Jess she has been friend zoned for sure. I note that there are a few comments on SM that many see a real connection with Sarah. Hannah is very touchy feely personally I find that off-putting  as many of the other women are more reserved and take their time however as @leapoffaith says time is marching on.

@4health Great to hear your thoughts!!! @Karina omg i totally forgot about jess and ally they would have to be gone by monday surely? i was hoping for 2nd single dates to start by monday in all seriousness isnt the finale usually around episode 12?? we still need htds and wta??

ETA: just a quick one on Lily i noticed one of the Franich family members is following her on IG

We only saw some of Zach and Lily's time on the plane.  You see her on PI that the girls were asking her a lot of questions since she spent that time on the plane.  If they flew the entire flight together the girls stated it was a long flight.  Did they really have the whole flight together because that is a 12+ hour flight?  Plus, if they did that would be without cameras.   You would get to known someone pretty well.  Zach has instigated every CP chat with Lily and she has never interrupted any other girl.  Their time together has been the best IMO and I will sit back and enjoy it while it lasts.  Lucia comment "Lily's sense of humor (?) is dark and dirty and we shall see if he likes that?  IMO I think he does, but does it mean romance.   I like that she says "I shall see if he is right for me?" in one of her PI.   Also on their CP chat where he reads his questions on his arm you see him go to touch her hand.  He does the move not Lily.   For her not to have a so called true 1:1 they are very comfortable with each other.  I wish she was older in age because I love her! Plus Claudia states that Zach might have wanted to have time with Lily instead of her on the GD.  I would say she was right!

@4health I am so with you re Zach and Lily she is so intriguing has that 'wild side' and an adventurous spirit which he seems to admire. I liked Lucia as well and thought that there was more to her if he had given her time but that was not meant to be.

I agree about Lily, but not about Lucia. She had time on the 2:1 with her buddy Katey, but she totally wasted it. They could not have been more immature and Zach might as well not have been there since they were more focused on one another than they were him. Same deal when Katey left. Lucia bawled as if someone had just been murdered. It was totally ridiculous and you could see Zack was totally turned off. I was actually surprised that she didn't go the very next week.

Interesting this photo is from a hairdresser at Servilles an upmarket hairdressing place so why these 3?


final group this was posted 3 days ago

@Sprite Yes, thanks for replying everyone has a different opinion. I thought Lucia was lovely and extremely beautiful but I also understand your point of view.:dancingdoggy:  When did the taping of the show stop? I note that Claudia was back on IG 2 weeks ago and from what I can ascertain the taping of the show had finished.The above photo was posted 3 days ago I wonder why it is only these 3 women having their hair done at Servilles. Who do you think is F1?

I would also love to know if that picture of the girls at the salon is post show or during taping? Interesting about Claudia being back only 2 weeks ago I saw a pic of viarni on ig that seemed to be taken on the 17th of feb but I'm not sure if it's an old pic posted then or in real time? Also mercieme mentioned Bel posted something about her cat on the 9th of march??Wish I knew when filming ended? I'm kind of leaning to Bel being f1 and maybe V is getting more of a bachelorette edit jmo

This is interesting .  Anyone know when the picture was taken with Claudia and her friend?  In the article below here is Claudia's statement:

"Thanks for your interest but Josh and I are just friends and have been so for 11 years," Claudia says in a statement.

"I am currently on a production break and we caught up at the 21st of a close mutual friend. There is no romantic connection between Josh and I - sorry for any confusion caused!"

A quick question: Does the NZ Bachelor/Lead have a say in choosing the age and career/profession of the contestants? TIA

Found this so there is a connection to the show:

The show has a relationship with Servilles hairdressers, Tomlins says, "so they come in and will redo roots, touch up colours and do the odd trim."
