The arrival of three new bachelorettes sent shock waves through the mansion on The Bachelor tonight.
The bachelorettes were lost for words when a date card announced that three new ladies would be joining them on a group date with Nick.
Former elite swimmer Deanna from South Australia, hospitality manager Jamie-Lee from New South Wales, and housing officer Brittney from Queensland, caused a stir among the original ladies as they arrived for the group date in a white, classic convertible.
In the first ever Bachelor Moonhopper World Tournament, competition between the new girls and original bachelorettes grew fierce. With one minute left on the clock, a tackle from Brooke saw newcomer Jamie-Lee fall to the ground in pain. After receiving medical treatment, Jamie-Lee was whisked off the field in Nick’s arms, leading some bachelorettes to wonder whether the injury was all an act.
Later, the ladies returned to the mansion for a dazzling cocktail party. Romy and Cat were immediately vocal with their thoughts on the new bachelorettes, and confidently declared the original ladies should not be threatened by the new ladies.
The next day, Nick took Tenille for a spin on his motorcycle as they headed to the countryside for a solo date. Together, they channelled their inner bee keepers to collect and sample honey straight from the hive.
Nick was enchanted by Tenille’s down to earth attitude and Tenille enjoyed Nick’s warmth and openness. Nick offered Tennile a rose and she gladly accepted. With an undeniable connection between them, Tenille broke her rule of not kissing on a first date and made sure that the honey wasn’t the only sweet taste in Nick’s mouth.
At the cocktail party, Romy confronted Tenille about her kiss with Nick, claiming Tenille’s decision to kiss Nick on the first date was hypocritical. Frustrated by Romy’s accusations, Tenille walked away from the conversation, but that didn’t stop Romy from following her. Pushed to her wits end, a teary Tennile ran, barefoot, away from the cocktail party, down the drive way and into the night.
Revealing to a producer that a few girls had given her a tough time since her single date, Tenille broke down, citing the drama has become too much to handle. After a few deep breaths, she decided to return to the mansion and explore her feelings for Nick.
At a tense rose ceremony, the bachelorettes were in tears and disbelief when originals Ashlea, 30, QLD and Rhiannon, 28, QLD did not receive a rose.
