Bachelor New Zealand - Season 3 - Zac Franich - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Ok they are off to Thailand!!! So I cocked that one up. Weird as I have spent about six months total in Thailand and totally didn't work that out.

Long trip to Thailand and Zac asks Lily go sit with him in business class while the rest are sitting in cattle.  

He is totally crushing on her but I don't think she is into him as he is with her.

Oh for gods sake - Chiang Mai! I have spent heaps of time there and I think I have just lost my sleuthing stripes for not making the connection.

Single date goes to...... Ad break.

I think we sleuthed that it was Hannah though.

Yes it's Hannah.

Btw - there is one thing that really annoys me about Zac  - its when he says somethink instead of something. It bugs me.

Anyhoo - Zac and Hannah are riding on an ATV and have to stop to let some elephants go past.

They are very easy with each other. I think they have a good connection.

They go to a locals house and the cutest kids entertain them.

One think I have noticed on this date is they are both touchy feely with each other.

Kiss!!! And it's a good one. I have to give him big props. He just takes charge and goes for it.

Also he gave her a hibiscus with some gift attached instead of a rose. I imagine roses are not easy to get in Thailand.

Hannah is telling the girls about her date. Bel does not look happy.

They ask about the kiss and Claudia is a bit bummed. I think it's unrealistic to expect him to kiss only one girl.

Group date - everyone!

Dom arrives and tells Zac that the group date is not going to go down how he thinks... Three new women are about to arrive!!!!

Zac looks flabbergasted. He's speechless.

First girl is amazing! Corina.

Second girl is even more amazing! Sarah.

Third girl is gorgeous as well. Vanessa.

The originals are not going to be happy. And Zac can't stop smiling. He is one happy man. These women amazing.

Zac is having little mini dates with the newbies. He is getting along well with Sarah. Very romantic music.

The other girls have no idea where he is and are sweltering waiting for him in the heat. He's an hour late.

Bike ride with Vanessa. She seems nice and relaxed. He likes her but I don't see a spark. She admits that she's been married before. He doesn't seem too concerned.

Corrina - very confident, smart and mature. I like her. He likes her too.

They girls are sitting around and saying that Zac has stood them up and the three girls walk in. It's brilliant!  The look on their faces is priceless.

Ad break now but can't wait to see how the conversation starts!

These new girls IMO are way better looking than the originals apart from maybe Rosie.

There might be a little bit of insecurity and jealousy ahead.

The girls are not happy. Dom leaves them to chat and then it's off to the rose ceremony so no actual group date.

Zac is uncomfortable and worried about what everyone is feeling.

Nina takes him away. She's so awkward but I can't help but love her. They do get on well I'm just not sure if there are sparks there.

He takes Claudia away as he can see she is not happy. I have little patience for girls that grizzle about time the bachelor spends with other contestants. It's pretty obvious what this show is about - it's not married at first sight where they are couple up straight away. The whole point of the show is that he meets and woos multiple women to find that connection.

OMG this conversation is so funny! Claudia is so open and honest and Zac is such a guy. I won't explain and let you enjoy this bit.

Bel is very unhappy about this.

Luce and Zac talking and he's totally not feeling it and suggests that they go back and join the rest.

RC - I think Luce or Vanessa will go. Hannah and Sarah already have roses

Here goes -

Rosie first
Viarni - romantic music!
Karina
Nina - yay! She's not going to win but I love an underdog
Ally
Claudia
Lily
Bel - more romantic music
Molly
Jess
Vanessa.

Luce is gone!

Looks like there will be some friction between the old and the new girls tomorrow night. Could see that Vanessa and Claudia were on the group date but didn't see anything on the single.

And another thing. When Karina walked in my first thought was oh what on earth is Ivanka Trump doing on this show!?!?!?! I swear she's the splitting image.

What are everyone else's thoughts on the newbies?

Very entertaining episode, love when they throw in curveballs.

Sarah is an absolute stunner and she seems to inadvertently given herself the villain edit by not telling the others about her rose haha
