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

@Kels0012 @Bobette
There is literally one degrees of separation in NZ, we all know someone who has something to do with The Bachelorette, either in production, casting, filming, bachelors, exes or bettes, so preshow 'meetings' and negotiations are inevitable.
I'm actually surprised we haven't had more scandalous PM's!!!! WE WANT MORE TEA!

@Jordan44 I figured as much.  I live in one of the smaller AU states and it's exactly the same here.

I am tired of this whole drama. Let's hope this is the last we will be hearing of this stupid, drawn out sham of a conflict!

Recap of the BS from yesterday...

Guys horsing around at the manor. Guys re-enacting dates. Terrance is Lily because of his hair. This is actually funny. Michael is playing Quinn.

Mike is being Lesina and Jesse is being Logan. Mike is saying while he is enjoying himself with the guys he prefers being and spending time with Lesina.

Group date...playing polo, but Jesse wants to speak to Lily about the "situation". Shut up. Girls are the captains and they split up on the teams according to which girl they want. Jesse, Elliot and Quinn and Mike, Michael and Aaron.

Mike is a star. He actually manages to score. Michael is also good since he rides to work. Aaron does squat...so he can have some time with Lesina. Jesse also finally scores. Art is enjoying the pool while this is going on.

Elliot falls off his horse...probably because he is too big for the poor animal.

Sails yachts for a job and is also good at polo?  Sounds like someone might have grown up in a rich family IMO.  

Catelina the horse forgives Elliot.

Mike scores again and Lesina is impressed and he gets some time. Poor Michael. Aaron isn't thrilled.

Naturally Jesse is picked by Lily because we all know the tptb are setting all this BS up.

Logan, Terrence and Richie are trying to bake Lily a cake but the guys ate all the eggs. Now they are trying to build a fire and Richie is worried he will be bitten by a tarantula.

Here we go with the chat. Jesse reminds her of their first date and shows off his tattoo, but first birthday cake. She is still bitching about honesty and being blindsided. Jesse finally spits it out that the whole thing came out because of him.

Naturally, we first get a commercial...

Apparently he has never ridden a horse. Maybe he is just naturally athletic?

Wow I guess so then - impressive!

Jesse explains that he didn't take into account that someone else would go if Liam stayed. Says he didn't react quickly enough. She seems much calmer about it now.

Mike is with Lesina and he sees that she is wearing the ring from Aaron. She wonders if he is jealous...he says it is hard watch other guys going out with her. Says it is more annoyance and he is having feelings for her. I do like him.

At the cocktail party the drinks are flowing and they are celebrating Lily's birthday. Jesse wants to give her a present.

One word to define happiness Lesina? I didn't really understand what she was prattling about. I think Mike feels the same since he says she is a hard read and wishes she would open up a bit. Michael on the other hand thinks patience is the definition of happiness and  Elliot and Mike both think that isn't going to work on this show. Michael looks a little panicked...

Jesse brings Lily flowers and some of the others aren't impressed.

Aaron thinks some of the guys are poking at him and naturally Lesina then pulls Mike to chat. The other guys just take off and leave Aaron alone.

Lesina is asking about Mike and his day to day. He says he doesn't worry about that stuff. He is working on something and will be trying to get in some championship. Where does someone fit into this? They are both hesitant to open up and kind of poking at each other. Neither is really happy. He is just not giving her the reassurance that she wants like the douche Aaron.

OMG...I just subconsciously typed Aaron's name as A**ron.

@Sprite Assron?  

Mike is challenging Lesina and he wants her to give a little. She thinks that they both have to open up. She tells him to think about it and next time they talk she wants him to tell her and they will talk about it. (So clearly he will be here for the next time!) He tells her that he really enjoys spending time with her and getting to know her. He admits that he enjoyed kissing her the other day and they get right to it. Repeatedly and all seems forgiven. Both are glowing and Mike says he feels different with her. It is deeper. Smitten kitten.

Logan finally pulls Lily to chat and wish her happy birthday and apologize for not talking with her earlier. Next up Quinn and making out.

Michael pulls Lesina and wonders why he is here? Is he here out of pity? Is she saving him for the overnight? Awkward as she tries to BS him that she sees all and that is why people get different dates...basically she doesn't answer his question.

Discussion with Art. Lesina can see a lot about Mike that she can picture in the future, but do they have enough time to open up? Michael is there a romantic spark or friend zone. Same with Lily and Elliot. She loves Jesse and feels that he can show his feelings in front of the bros, but he is at the center of a lot of drama. Same for Aaron with Lesina.

OMG...now we have to wait till next week for the RC!

Next week it appears that 2 guys go? Michael is starting to crumble and Mike turns the tables on Lesina by grilling her...it looks like she doesn't really mind that much. Till next week...
