The Bachelorette Australia Ep 9 Recap and BachietteTreat

Episode 9

And then there were 3 Bachies standing and one of them has already stolen BachieQueen's heart and the other two are along for the ride and potential modelling contracts. BachieQueen takes each Bachie on a one to one date this episode and at the end of this episode, a Bachie will be departing back into singledom.

Sasha's Date

I really felt for Sasha on this date because he has a fear of heights and BachieQueen is well aware of this. Geared with this knowledge she decides the coolest date would be to totes go skydiving! No doubt Sasha's first impression was....

But he held it together like a trooper or like a love sick puppy dog, because he decided to go up in the plane that has a transparent roller door, which would make any hypsiphobic hurl at the sight of it. Personally, I have a crippling fear of heights. The very thought of skydiving and falling from an aeroplane makes me feel ill. Though that being said, if my husband decided to take me skydiving when we were dating, I probably would have skydived like Sasha did, anything for love right?


Once on the ground BachieQueen realises she could get Sasha to do just about anything in the name of love! She also realisies that this date means they can totes get through any challenges that life could throw at them IF they were to be together. This makes BachieQueen so excited, she starts to get queasy and light headed! The doctor is called in to monitor her but all she be thinking...

BachieQueen manages to get her heart rate down and back to normal beating mode. The thrill of the skydiving and the presence of her BachieKing were too much for her body to take!!! Things are looking good for the couple until they sit down on the pashing couch and BachieQueen says she is concerned that Sasha may not like her after the show is over because she doesn't have nice things! Sasha and us are like...

Is she saying....?

But Sasha patches it all up with his reassurance that stuff like that doesn't bother him and he's like....

And she melts for him all over again. Sash is the Man!! #TeamSasha


Richie

So I want to go all cray cray on the Princess Bride gifs again, but we'll see how we go. We might need to mix it up a little due to the nature of the date.  BachieQueen takes Richie to the snow and in true Aussie form, there isn't much snow to get excited about, though its enough to get Richie thinking its like the movies and its all #CoolBananas! He is from Perth! After some snowball fighting, with what snow they could find,  it was time to get serious. BachieQueen was on a mission. She had to hear just how serious Richie was about her, and by serious I mean, the "L" word. Was he falling in love with her, or was he trying to fall in love with her? She asked him but we at home, were like...

Yeah, so words came out of his mouth but I can't quite remember what he was saying exactly and I am concerned he wasn't really sure either, which is a bit disheartening.  Poor Richie....

Whatever you mean by what you were saying it means, it made us all feel like you were perhaps going home this episode...

Yes Richie it does!

Michael

If you have been reading my recaps (thanks by the way), you will know I am not a fan of RobotMikey. I can't really put my finger on it, its just seems like....

BachieQueen takes him whale watching. On the way, they are cuddling and he tells her that his mum proposed to his dad and I am all like....

BachieQueen dodges the comment but he tells her again and she has to respond and says something quaint. But its totally....

The highlights of the date go to the whales and then the aquarium room at the dinner date, that was pretty cool. But as for RobotMikey and his conversational skills....

Rose Ceremony

There are no numbers to collate or to speak of at this rose ceremony. And Osher is.....

What else can he do? BachieQueen took over and while she handed her second rose to RobotMikey she shed a tear for Richie. I was so hoping for RobotMikey not to get a rose, but alas, it was Richie. No Rose for you Richie there will be no Princess Bride ending for this show and I too shed a tear because there will be no more....

 It's all good though because I am #teamSasha and always was!!!

My prediction for tomorrow night, well, I think I have already made it clear. RobotMikey has better things to do....

BachietteTreat

All natural orange slushy which consists of oranges, water and ice. It was so noice!!

The Bachelorette Australia Recap Episode 8 HomeTown Visits

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.

The Bachelorette Australia Recap Episode 7

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!

The Princess Bride themed Bachelorette Australia Episode 6 Recap and BachietteTreat

Episode 6

Well good on ya producers for breaking the somewhat boring rut this show had fallen into. The single date this week was with 'Princess Bride' look-a-like, Richie so my gifs are all from 'The Princess Bride' movie. Yes, I am clever! As for the date itself, BachieQueen and Richie sat in makeup for, I am just speculating, a fair few hours so they would look like they were 50 years older. My hat goes off to the makeup artists who did a sterling job on both BachieQueen and Richie.

They headed down to the Neutral Bay bowlers club (or whatever it was in Neutral Bay!!) for that all important stereotypical game of Bingo that all senior lads and lassies play and a boogie!!

 Later on, when the lights go down and their makeup is removed, the two settle down for alone time and I can almost hear Richie's thoughts....

Maybe BachieQueen heard it too because they have a pash and she gives him a rose. Maybe the end of the show will go a little like this....

Group Date

The Bachies went down to hang with the carnies at the carnival!! The guys have to prove, once again how manly and strong they are to hold BachieQueen's attention. So let me get this straight. If you are a strong man you are in, if you are ladyman you are out? Doesn't seem fair to me? Poor Sasha lost out on one of the games and all I thought about that was...

#teamSasha

The activities continue and the guy who wins out in the end for the alone time is, Dave the Plumber. After his tantie yesterday, this was no doubt a pleasant relief for him. Since The Bachelor, where Heather was #FriendZoned many people are wondering who will have that same fate this season? I have to wonder about Dave. This alone time was not sealed with a pash, on camera at least. Instead they got to 'hug it out'! Though he does come to his own defence and say he would rather do it in private. Well toot toot for you, but seriously, we are all in this too! We need to see how you kiss her and judge work out how compatible you are. It's a science this show and physical touch is all part of it. Sheesh, where did they get this guy from? As we are sticking to the 'Princess Bride' theme this is what I have to say about that ending...

BOOOOO!!

Rose Ceremony

It gets a bit heated, well at least BachieQueen attempts to make it that way, during the cocktail party when BachieQueen takes Davey away for a chitty chat. It would seem Davey acted like his true self during the Carnival group date and ruffled BachieQueen's feathers in a not so good way. The problem is, BachieQueen is worried the serious side to Davey's personality is not genuine or won't last long enough for him to make mature decisions. Basically...

So Davey was sent home and there was dramatically no rose ceremony, like that hasn't been done before!! 

BachietteTreat

To honour the mixed bag of nutty nutters these Bachies are I decided to  munch on some raw macadamia nuts this evening. Just keeping it real!!

Recap The Bachelorette Australia Episode 5 and BachietteTreat

Episode 5 

Well Channel10 have been working over time with drilling us with advertisements about how this  week its going to be a "Double Date Disaster". So much effort was put into this campaign, that unfortunately for them, my expectations were high. Am I disappointed? All I can say is..

Not only am I disappointed you Channel10, but this date was really, more than anything else...

Davey and Tony were sent on the date to prove their compatibility with BachieQueen. Tony was keen on proving that because he is older, his maturity levels are higher because he knows what he wants, but unfortunately he has no idea what a soulmate is. Quite frankly Tony,

Better get back to the drawing board Tones and fine tune your soul mate definition and quick response skills! All this being said, even though Davey scored the rose it wasn't like he was the better person on the date. Even though he knew what a soul mate was, he still acts like he is playing on a game show rather than winning the heart of BachieQueen and I can't help but think this about Davey each time I see him...

In my last post I thought Davey would make the final two but I am starting to think he won't make it another rose ceremony. No argument he is a fun guy to be around but BachieQueen would have to be prepared to 'mother' him a couple years to wring out the child in him. It seems like Davey's dad's advice is fading in Davey's memory.

Group Date

As BachieQueen wants to be a mother in the near future, she has put her remaining Bachies to the test by having them host a kid's party. Each Bachie has to create a party game that will win the thumbs up from 30 kids and whoever wins over BachieQueen will score dinner time with her. Richie doesn't hesitate and is on top of this straight away...

Richie did a great job and really enjoyed himself and seems to have the kids eating out of his hand. Most of the guys work out what will make the kids happy and do a reasonable job at it,  but poor Dave the Plumber struggles. Something in his brain tells him to create a game where he is the shark and the kids have to run to different posts and try not to be eaten/caught by him..

Poor Dave the Plumber had no clue and as a result the kiddies didn't like his game and in true kiddie fashion Dave the Plumber chucked a tantie and walked off!!

My money was on Richie for the dinner date with BachieQueen. However, I'm not really sure how, but Micheal (the pro soccer player) won BachieQueen's heart and scored the single date. This is how I felt about Micheal on this episode..

BachieQueen made him dinner of ham and cheese toasties which she happened to burn. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I will! Michael is #disgenuine. He is too agreeable, and trying too hard to be a 'nice' guy that it just reeks of, for lack of a better word, 'disgenuuity".

I'm not saying he is a bad guy, I am just saying he knows he is on "TV" and he is playing, pro soccer style, up to the cameras. Anyway, BachieQueen pashes Micheal and gives him a rose and I'm all like...

The man wears a lady cardigan for crying out loud!!! My daughter has one that looks the same!!

Rose Ceremony 

So Davey and Micheal are safe this round, but I am all like. I can't do my math and have no idea what is going to happen and I'm all like..

Then a familiar voice calms my troubled mind....

Osher in da house! Whoop whoop!! With #Osher, my Captian Obvious, my host with the most and all his divine mathematical knowledge which he so selflessly and generously shares week after week. I know all will be well when he shares that it's one Bachie who will be departing this fine evening. All is well in the world again and its time to say farewell to Kayne but I feel he is like..

BachietteTreat

I don't usually eat dairy, but when I do, it has to be worth it. Tonight I inhaled one of of these and they are my new favourite, Streets Magnum needs to take notes!
