Fine by me!   The surprise will be the Spy Reveal IMO matching the sleuthed SC with 18 guys.  Yay, that will be fun to watch.  

Noting that Tavita was back on IG Nov 19.  So that's around the same time as Marc and Jonathan.  IMO they probably flew the guys back from Argentina in groups so I might go through everyone's return dates and write up a list.

I wonder what they did regarding HTDs?  Surely they wouldn't have EIGHT of them?!  Maybe each Bette has a Top 3 or something.  Or perhaps they didn't do any.  How did it work with the Swedish season, @AllAboutLove?

Hi Everyone

Well .. who ever wanted Lily  as the bachelorette  just may get what they wish for    Clue #1 new  bachelorette! Clue #2 I'm very sure the Voiceover  Chick dropped  some innuendo saying "the surpise started with L" and clue #3 is  this article in the NZ herald today.. not sure how long she will be on there ..

When this season's rag tag bunch of bachelors start high-fiving each other when they see who the second Bachelorette is, we think the original Bachelorette, Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster, definitely saw who was really in it for love with her.

Speculation on the identity of who the second Bachelorette was has reached fever point. Spy is sticking with our prediction from last August that former Bachelorette Lily McManus, 23, will get her spot next to Nakhid-Schuster, 32. Curiously, after some time back home in Australia, McManus arrived in New Zealand a few weeks back.

Nakhid-Schuster, who shares an apartment for the show with the second bachelorette told Spy exclusively she was embracing the double-dating surprise.

"I'm so stoked there's a second Bachelorette. I'm such a girls' girl and it's a fun idea having a mate I can share this whole experience with. We got together beforehand and had massive chats about everything before the whole process even started. We got to know each other really well and I think we also complement each other really well."

Nakhid-Schuster says the second Bachelorette is someone who she couldn't have done this journey without - she's energetic and adventurous and will add fun vibes to the whole journey.

It would be the fourth reality show for McManus, who worked with TVNZ 2 last year on Celebrity Treasure Island, and has had time on Three's The Bachelor NZ, which was followed by a stint in the United States on The Bachelor Winter Games.

"The Bachelor for me was one of the weirdest and wildest experiences I've ever taken on board," McManus told us last year.

"It was never something I wanted to do. It was never something I voluntarily signed myself up for, but looking back at it now I am still so glad I said yes.

"I learnt so much about what I want from a man and from myself in a relationship. I treasure the whole experience and if I could encourage someone like me who doesn't think that the show is a good idea and they take away even half of the good things from the experience that I did, then my work here is done,"

Having two bachelorettes is a world first in the show's global history. TVNZ publicity insist both women are on the show looking for love – and are not competing with each other.

With one of the male contestant's bisexuality yet to be disclosed and the 'mole' on the show still rummaging, this has just become "must watch TV".

OUCH.  

Not sure whey they're making such a big deal of George's bisexuality?  NZ had SSM way before AU and it's hardly an issue these days IMO.  Unless they're hinting he hooks up with one of the other boys - that would be an interesting episode.    

George might get Lily's FIR IMO.

Ohh and This Article from StuffNZ

Oh and if you listen  towards the end of the video promo .. you can hear a  female that says yeah or yep that sounds exactly like Lily's voice

Oh man that's good stuff - it's immediately apparent which of the guys are hot for Lily IMO (I see you Jesse, Dom, George, Quinn and Tavita ).

Definitely Lily's voice.  I can't believe they're not just revealing her face - it's so obvious and 99% of people on social media have guessed anyway!

Thanks for bringing over all the NZ articles @Andie H.  I took some SCs - posting to the SC thread now (then I really should watch episode 3...)

This will be fun!

Yeah I feel much better about the whole scenario having watched that promo - looks like it will be fun.  

I note Aaron tempered his reaction well.  He'll stay "loyal" to Lesina IMO - I think he really likes her.  

...also it probs wouldn't be a good career move to make out with a girl barely older than his students.
