Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

@Bobette There is HEAPS left, if they only going to Campana now, and yes the 'deleted' white island scenes and HTD's. Need to check again what dates the remaining boys started back on SM compared to Lily's Birthday

That schedule gives us a timeline. Lily’s birthday is Nov 18, and that would be epi 25. Matilda posted a pic of Art and their boy on Nov 23. With the distance and time difference, they must have wrapped filming in Argentina on Nov 21 at the latest. I’m guessing 1-3 episodes more after Lily’s birthday.
Old sleuthing

Then there's hometowns (3+3 hopefully), fantasy dates and finale. 6 more hours episodes maybe.
32 episodes seems like a good guess.
JMO

Thanks @blueblues I had Dec 3 in my head as their return date and couldn't be bothered going back to check.  

Lily's birthday is the 17th though not the 18th.

Ugh can we fast forward to the HTDs please.

I missed the first few minutes.

Jesse is packing someones stuff and the guys are asking where they are and why they didn't say goodbye.

Meanwhile back with the double date where Liam 100% accepts Lily's rose and they are told that this is the new mansion.

Apparently Jesse is upset that Steve is gone, while Aaron gloats. Too bad because those two are pranking the rest of them. Steve is happy they have the new mansion all to themselves for at least one night.

Jesse is so upset he is writing poetry about his boys who are gone. The mood is somber back at their apartment when Art arrives....tells them they are going to the countryside. Celebration.

They arrive and see Steve and Liam waiting. Everyone is happy and hugging them and laughing...except...guess who??? Come on. Guess who is swearing up a storm??? For those who haven't been paying close attention, I'll tell you after the break....

@Sprite - I'm going to take a wild, crazy stab and say Aaron.   I can hear him whining from here.

Yup. You guessed it Aaron is pissed. The guys have allocated the rooms according to Feng Shui. Apparently poor Aaron is stuck in a room with all the other guys going for Lesina.

They are enjoying nature...spiders snacking on fireflies. The narrator hints it is a sign of things to come.

The bachelorettes have decided to have a head to head BBQ...Terrence, Elliot, Richie (Lily wants him to choose). Lesina picks Mike, Michael and Logan.

Lily wants it medium rare...she loves meat, but also loves animals. She is conflicted.

Lesina wants to know if they remember what she eats. Apparently she only eats certain things...chocolate and cheese...and no red meat. Aaron tells Michael that she likes chicken.

Mike gets dibs on the chicken, but the chef who is teaching them says he can split it into two. Depending who answers best...Logan and Michael win and poor Mike can't get any chicken. He tries to do a pepper and egg and asks the chef to keep it a secret....but, the chef promptly tells everyone.

Shockingly, Logan goes and finds some cheese!!!

Every man for himself because the two best plates will get special time.

Which girl will Richie prepare for...red meat or no red meat??? We will find out after the break. I think we already did with Lily's and Richie's help.

The ladies start with Richie...he has created an experience with 3 different dishes...and his stuff is full of meat.

Logan's is a mess full of chicken and cheese...but her dream.

Terrence has a dead cow on a plate.

Mike has a buquet...chirozo and wine and veggie plate.

Elliot has something for Lily, but also something for her friend.

Michael...apparently made a really good plate and Lesina is impressed.

Lily likes the creativity from Richie and picks him.

Lesina picks Michael because he put in a lot of effort to find out what she likes even though they haven't spent much time together. She asks how he found out she doesn't eat red meat and he said because everyone was fighting for the chicken. Who fought the hardest??? Mike. A really goofy grin from Lesina during her ITM. She was really pleased. Like really pleased.

Richie asks Lily if she is okay with him going out with Lesina. She is a little giddy trying to answer. She likes him...a lot! Says that she wanted him to be sure. He is and he gets a rose!

Meanwhile Lesina and Michael are discussing their cooking skills. She can't cook and he is the BBQ king. She appreciates that he has opened up a lot and is actually quite chatty and that he doesn't try to be anything other than  who he is. Will she give him a rose to get to know him better?

Back at the house apparently Jesse is none too happy that Liam is still there...

Ladies are excited about the cocktail party.

Guys are discussing what the ladies were wearing...mostly hot Lily.

Poor Mike is finding Lesina a hard read. Wants to know what she thinks of him.

Guys ask Lesina what she is expecting from this experience. She said at first she was really fussy and check listing people to find the one...she says now she is more relaxed and they make fun that they brought down her expectations. She tells them that she isn't perfect and she needs to not eliminate others because of little things. Everyone is much happier to hear that.

Lesina pulls Liam and asks him where he is at. He explains that at first he thought Lily was too wild, but he realized that she is much deeper and confident and he really likes her. When he goes back to the group Lily is there and asks what he talked with Lesina about. He tells her about the doubts and how happy he is now.

Quinn pulls Lily aside and does this little romantic moment and asks if she will accept his rose. She says she is impressed and it makes her feel warm and strange. She accepts his rose and there is a makeout. They both seem happy and he gets a rose.

When he gets back the guys are wondering where Lesina's roses are since there are 3 Lily roses out there. Mike in particular is nervous again.

Terrence comes and brings some champagne for Lily. She knows surface level stuff about him, but really doesn't know him. He says he has walls up and has never opened up in a relationship. He wishes he had and no woman has ever pushed him. He wants to be more open. She asks him where he is at now? He tries to be positive when he doesn't see her. He is on a high when he is with her, but he questions himself when he knows his mates are also going out with her. Quick peck and she thinks he is nervous around her.

Steve is regretting not making a move on his date. Worried that nice guys finish last. He feels he has been patient and pulls Lesina. She wonders why since he just had one on one time? He is worried he is in the friend zone and when she figures what he is talking about she starts laughing...not good. I don't think Steve can really ready body language poor schmuck.

Tomorrow a shocking discovery at the mansion. Lily is telling Terrence that unless you can open up and talk to a partner, what is the point of having one. Aaron goes and seems to be tattling on someone to Lily. (I'm thinking it is Liam.) Steve seems to have made a move on Lesina and Lesina is drilling Mike again. Does he want to get married again and apparently he may run for the hills. Somehow I doubt it.

Till tomorrow...

Thanks for this @Sprite. i missed some of the ending who was Quinn calling a player ? or did he actually say that ? and saying he is not here for the right reasons so piss off he camera panned to Aaron talking to Lily and it was clear by her expression it was a juicy tidbit of
gossip.

Just saw a preview Quinn repeated 'he is not here for the right reasons so piss off.' It also showed a petulant looking Aaron saying he wants to feel special as well.
Looks like poor 'over thinker 'beleaguered Mike gets another grilling

Cheers @Sprite Great Job

@Karina I'm not sure who Quinn was referring to. The preview goes by so quickly. It may be Jesse or Aaron or Liam. As for the Aaron convo I'm leaning more about it being about Liam since he had told some of the guys about his doubts and possibly leaving.

I suspect the grilling will end with a pash since she was soooooooo pleased to hear from Michael that Mike tried really hard to get that chicken! Cat that swallowed the canary happy...
