Raccoons and row boats
Today on the bachelorette they pat cool cats, go on a lot of boats, and two bachelorettes are sent home in another Dom Bomb.
Viarni wins the single date, and we’re off to a good start. There’s no awkward pauses and everything glides just like their little row boat on the water.
Zac tries to get Viarni to open up about her emotions, but she’s pretty chill about it all. It’s literally so refreshing after Bel’s emotional overload last night.
Honourable mention to Zac’s off- green robe, channelling that Hugh Hefner gone wrong look. Not that the Hefner look is ever really right.
Viarni leaves the date with multiple make outs, a massage, and a rose.
Vanessa and Sarah take Bel to an animal cafe to cheer her up and there’re fancy cats with big pointy ears and a raccoon, and I’ve never wanted to pet something so badly.
“I want one,” says Bel. Me too Bel, me too.
They’re so fluffy.
The group date involves Claudia and Bel, who I think dressed matching on purpose.
I can’t see this going well. Bel talks about the cats and Claudia talks about studying. I know which conversation I’d rather hear.
It’s the one about cats.
Dom drops a bomb and we find out Zac has to send home either Claudia or Bel, right now.
Zac tells Bel her time is up, he struggles to say this, but Bel handles it surprisingly well. She has raccoons now anyway.
They watch this puppet show. Claudia said it was a romantic comedy. I would like to know how she came to this conclusion as I understood nothing.
Claudia arrives home and lets the other girls know Bel was sent home.
“That’s bloody ruthless,” says one girl. True but the season is starting to drag a bit, so…
Vanessa tries to create conversation at the cocktail party and it’s the best thing I’ve heard all evening. Please don’t send her home Zac.
She finally gets some time with Zac and it’s quite a laugh, but they’ve spent about “27 hours” together and the girls are getting itchy.
“What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?” asks Viarni.
“Sober driving,” says Vanessa, an accurate description of modern day romance.
Lily pulls out her foot, which is complete with questions for Zac. I absolutely hate feet and admire her confidence. Breaking out my bare feet on a date would probably make me cry.
Zac is worried that if he picks Lily he would be caging a butterfly.
She’s safe for tonight though, as Vanessa is let go. I’m gutted as I feel, like, I was just getting to know her.
Lily was, however, in the bottom two for the first time. Let this be a lesson for us all.
Never let a man see your feet.
