The Bachelorette Australia Finale Recap

Apologies for this late post. I had better things to do this weekend. I was on my time out. Not that I have been a bad mother and needed time to reflect on my behaviour, but as most mothers know we do need time out to reflect on why we chose to be mothers! It was a great weekend that really recharged my batteries that should last until the next mummy meltdown!!

Episode 10

It is finale time and BachieQueen has bought her Bachies to NZ to consume fosh and chops and all the L&P their hearts desires!! It was RobotMikey's turn to meet the her siblings first. BachieQueen's sister took the over protective sister roll and she did a good job. She was not taking any nonsense from RobotMikey. What were her first impression of RobotMikey....

I instantly liked her! Though by the end of their one to one chitty chat she seemed to have softened up towards him. Still first impressions are lasting.


Then it was Sasha's turn to meet the family, and while they tried hard to drill him, it was clear that they know he is BachieQueen's fav and they had to try hard not to let us know that, but didn't do the best of jobs. BachieQueen's sister tried to press Sasha to use the 'L' word but Sasha kept to his guns and expressed that he didn't want to use the word just to get her attention, which I thought was sweet.

Final Dates

BachieQueen took RobotMikey white water rafting and then they chitty chatted in a hot water spring....

Though BachieQueen did keep emphasising to the viewers how important it was for the fellas to express their true feelings. While it seemed to me that RobotMikey was not really completely in love with her or overly interested for that matter, he still dropped the 'L' bomb and because I totes read minds, I could see BachieQueen be like....

But she is nice and wouldn't actually say that, though we know she only has eyes for Sasha and this part of the show 'has' to be done.

BachieQueen takes Sasha on a yacht so they can cuddle and pash a lot. Then they sat on the pasha couch and talked about feelings and then Sasha dropped the 'L' bomb! BachieQueen's response to Sasha was way better than the other guys....

 ...and it was more obvious than it has ever been before who she was going to choose!

Who Does BachieQueen Choose?

Now if RobotMikey could show emotions, he would be like....

But I don't call him RobotMikey for kicks. When BachieQueen revealed the bad news that she just wanted to be friends and not lovers, because it was her and not him he was all like....

Good Luck to you RobotMikey, all jokes aside I do hope you find your lady C3PO one day!

I predicted this ending from Episode 1. Sasha and BachieQueen seem like a very compatible couple and I do wish them all the best. There was no marriage proposal, nor any ring or jewellery of any kind to speak of. Perhaps Channel 10 blew the budget on the first class tickets to NZ?!  Whatever the case, like I prophesied back in my episode 8 recap...

I am so awesome at this!! ;p

Episode 8

BachieQueen gets to meet the families of her Bachies and potential future husband in this episode and I do believe she is feeling a little like this....

Alex

We all know SirAlex is not born in Australia because he speaks British. So I had a hunch that mummy and daddy wouldn't be making an appearance. But my mind does wonder is mummy like....

SirAlex meets up with BachieQueen on Avoca Beach and they have a warm, but not so passionate greeting. It is clear that SirAlex isn't given many opportunities to steal a pash. As their conversation grows, SirAlex reveals that his sister is flying in from NZ to meet her, which takes BachieQueen by surprise. Quickly my mind races on what his sister could look like. My comical heart is hoping for this...

or even....

But neither come true. His sister seems pleasant and while we are given the impression she is going to drill BachieQueen with her British interrogation skills she is actually quite nice.  Which is a bit of a shame really, because we all know he has totally been #FriendZoned.


Micheal

Excuse me....

Now that I have that out of the way, though I could do it again at any moment! Michael lives in Brisbane and he takes BachieQueen to play some soccer, because that is what he does, he has no other job, no he doesn't, why would we question him?  He then informs BachieQueen that his parents live in the opposite building to where he actually lives. He is all like.....

While we are tempted to find out just how amazingly wonderful his apartment really is, we are  totally bummed to find out we aren't going to his place, we are going to his parents. Why would he do that we must ask? Well, I am guessing his apartment doesn't have views of BrisVegas because it seemed awfully important that BachieQueen saw BrisVegas at night and not just in the daylight. He could also be a cat man!

Mikey's parents are super lovely. His dad is full of personality and I am starting to like him more than Mikey. Why does Mikey come across so disgenuine?  Is there still hope for Mikey? At the end of the date, as he says his good bye to BachieQueen, Mikey shows her the palm of his hand, which he has written in high school black pen, ' I heart Sam'. Excuse me...

Maybe there isn't any hope for him after all.

Richie

Richie greets Bachie Queen with a big hug and those who are weak, think that maybe these two  are going to be married by the end of the season. Those who are strong will stick to the winning team, #teamSasha. Richie shows BachieQueen around Perth, because she has never been before. Note to self, how to score a free trip to a city you have never been to!! (though I am married, so that really can't work for me, but share the knowledge selflessly to others)

Then Richie takes BachieQueen home to meet the family and friends. I think this is the only date  where friends out number family and I am a little puzzled as to why this is so. I was kind of hoping for his friends at least to be like this..

Unfortunately they don't look nor sound anything like them and I am disheartened. The friends do a lot of the talking and asking how genuine BachieQueen's feelings and her intentions are. Like she is going to spill her beans and tell them she is going to ask Richie to marry her or something? Way to represent!  BachieQueen manages to survive the night and Richie goes in for the pash, but she no let him but he manages a little kiss. She is saving her love lips for the lucky last Bachie!!

Sasha

This is where the goods are at! You can so tell that Sasha and BachieQueen are a match pre made in heaven and it took this show to bring them together. Their warm embrace was enough to seal the deal and there is no doubt in my mind Bachie Queen is like....

However, Channel 10 have been working overtime to convince us all that Sasha's family, his mum particularly are not supportive of this relationship. From the promos alone, the impression I got about his mum was like...

But as per normal, her comments were cut, pasted, and cropped for affect and it turns out his mum is quite noice and accepting of BachieQueen. So it seems thumbs up all around and this is truly meant to be. It seems only fair at this point that we call the show off and let BachieQueen and Sasha be together and we can only hope for this...

Rose Ceremony

Sadly, back to the reality of the show where BachieQueen must choose another Bachie to go home so she can be with the last of her Bachies another two episodes. We all know its going to be the Bachie that has been #FriendZoned, which was sealed on the date with no kiss. Ta Ta #Sir Alex, no rose for you!

PS. No BachietteTreat this evening.

Episode 7

This is the most gripping of the episodes thus far, no seriously it is! Tonight we find out who is going to be taking BachieQueen home to their hometowns so she can be verbally grilled by family and friends but before we get to that exciting stuff we find out there is going to be one last single date. All the boys are desperately praying for that spot. I can't quite work out everyone's thoughts but Soccer Mikey's was just a little louder than the others...

Unfortunately, he let himself down. Perhaps the guilts are getting to him about not revealing his true profession? Sasha was the one who scored this date,  yay #teamsasha ( I am a little sad)! The rest were kind hearted and congratulated him. Though no doubt, in their minds a different story is told...

Before we get to the single date, where we will find out if their feelings are still burning with passion as we hope they are. There is a group date to be had.

Group Date

The fellas are informed they must make the dinner for their BachieQueen. Each Bachie puts their dibs on the course they want to make. As obliging as Richie is...

 ..he had to google what canapés were, he's from Perth right?

I am very confident, that when BachieQueen organised this soirée she didn't care too much if the boys understood what a canapé was or if they knew any foreign language to better describe chicken or any meal for that matter. All she was really hoping for was...

It seems that whoever cooked what, BachieQueen was just happy they did and equally surprised that men actually possess the talents to be able to cook in the first place! Was it not too many episodes ago BachieQueen that you admitted to be a bad cook and burnt the cheese toastie?

The dinner party seemed to be going fine until we notice Dave the Plumber recluse. No one is paying him attention, poor little boo boo! Seriously Dave, you are becoming a wet blanket and we kinda don't want you on the show anymore. You don't have fun hanging out with kids, you don't pash on camera, and if you aren't centre of attention at a dinner party you act like a shy child on their first day of school! Boo hoo, have a cry and get over it!

But Dave was not the only wet blanket in the room. They decide to play a dinner party game, which isn't really a game but it will do. BachieQueen picks a card with a statement written on it about one of the Bachies and she has to guess who it belongs to. Kind of how #BacheloretteAU do on their Instagram page with the Bachie's belongings and baby photos, so we know who helped them out with this one!! All seems fun and moving smoothly until Disgeunine Mikey pulls the mood down and claims his worst fear is to not finding his true love...

Yes, that is pretty much the effect you have on me, almost every single show Mikey!

Single Date

Sasha and BachieQueen have to paint an overly large (me thinks this decision was later regretted) blank canvas for a charity auction. Sasha enjoys art, so she seemed it fitting to chose him to go on this date, and also the fact that she pretty much is head over heels for him and can't wait to pash him all day!!

The painting was, well I think we can say the painting wasn't the most important event of the date. They just wanted to be with each other and so the painting can best be described as...

Rose Ceremony

David the douche international model was the first David to be dumped. Then there were two Davids. Davey the childish man was second to go. The Davids were looking worried, could Dave the Plumber represent and bring home the engagement ring? Nup! David is not a good name to have on this show, even strength in numbers can't hold you together! Davids are now extinct in the House of Bachies. Farewell Dave the Plumber, we hope you find the strength to deal with your feels and emotions and find a lady who can deal with them too!

#BachietteTreat

Tonight's treat was more dinnerish. I made taco bread by hand and while it isn't very time consuming,  I started it later than I should have so dinner was right as Bachelorette started.  This is pork fillet tacos with guacamole, homemade salsa or pica di gallo, and lettuce n cabbage. So delicious!
