I mean are we surprised

No not surprised. Aaron was my favourite pre-show so he was never going to win. I curse contestants with my favouritism.

Oh that's interesting - in the group shot on the SC thread Logan has a rose on his lapel so I assumed he'd get the first date.  Hmmm

Well that was very enjoyable. The 1 1/2 hours just flew by.

I don't know all the names, but based on what I saw tonight, the two she is into are Kurt and Aaron...Kurt being tops. There may be a few others once I figure out who is who, but those were the only two who stood out to me for her.

It will be interesting watching someone who I know nothing about and trying to figure out who she really likes and if they feel the same.

See you tomorrow ladies!

No season preview (maybe after tomorrow?)

Based on first episode I think it was made very obvious Kurt is getting the F1 edit. Aaron is the possibility but no dice. Jonathan is the “sweetie” who’ll be friendzoned. Logan I am not sure where he fits but the kissing sc of him and Lesina means he gets further.

But Kurt was my pre-season F1 pick and even more so after that episode. She made it very clear he was her best first impression by her reaction and what she said to Kurt. It’s like she wanted to reassure him night one already. Maybe ties into her saying to Art she hopes she feels it night one that she has that spark. She seems so happy so I’m happy for her and excited to see it all play out

Aaron seems so lovely. He’d make a great bachelor and I think that’s what they’ll edit him for if he is F2. A solid way to reboot the bach NZ franchise

Could be a group date rose? Or else Aaron gets special quality time alone with Lesina?

@AllAboutLove.  No date rose on Aaron's lapel in the group shot so maybe it's the ep 3 RC, Logan gets 2nd date and only one goes home ep 2?  19 men are shown.

I knew I'd heard the narrators voice before - it's Jodie Rimmer - a well known NZ actress - you might know her from Zena -warrior princess.

I recognise her name from this IG pic.  Seriously, how much MORE involved with production could Lily be, without being on the show?!

Thanks a LOT everyone!
I’ll be watching tomorrow and adding my 2 cents. Sounds like a good season to watch and great lead to root for!

@Katiebelle o wow! That’s awesome! She’s doing a fabulous job. I’m loving it!

@Bobette could it be that Lily worked on the show as part of the crew? That would explain a lot!

@Astrobach looking forward to reading your thoughts and take on everything

If they're going for a lighthearted feel I could see them having her in a house mother/hostess/agony aunt role; hanging with the guys, serving them booze, getting them to open up about how they're feeling etc.   Whatever it is   I.  NEED.  ANSWERS.

Aaron is definitely getting a rose IMO, and I haven't even watched the show.

I'm fairly sure there are 19 men shown in the group shot and since three went tonight, that means the guys hidden must be Kurt, Brendan and Flynn IMO.

And the group shot was taken at the spy reveal IMO (from their reactions). I can't see them dragging that out for more than a couple of episodes, can you?

What do they usually open with, a GD or a SD? Maybe Logan gets the rose at the first GD, then spy is revealed as per the SC, then Aaron's date the next day?

That seems like a lot for one episode but not sure how else to make it all fit.

Yeah Aaron would definitely get a rose on his date. I saw a preview again for tomorrow’s episode and Lesina saying there’s definitely a physical attraction. He’s so nervous around her. It’s so sweet but also makes him appear a bit younger (he’s 27 to her 32). So far though Aaron seems truly lovely. He’d make a great bachelor and I think that’s what they’ll edit him for if he is F2. A solid way to reboot the bach NZ franchise

Not sure when it will all fit in. I’d assume a SD and a GD for episode 2 if it’s an hr long or so?
