TONIGHT ON THE 'THE BACHELOR' ` WE'RE BACK IN NEW ZEALAND AFTER FOUR BECAME THREE. (SNIFFLES) YOU'RE ALL JUST SO GREAT, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TRULY GOT THE MOST INCREDIBLE WOMAN OUT THERE, AND I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS. VIARNI, CLAUDIA AND LILY... COME ON, PRINCESS! ...RETURN TO THEIR HOME TOWNS,... I'M NERVOUS. HI. HI. ...BRINGING ZAC WITH THEM TO FACE THE ULTIMATE TEST,... IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE WALKING OUT ON STAGE. I'M EXPECTING A BIT OF A GRILLING. ...AS THE GIRLS' LOVED ONES... SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT, 'WHAT HAPPENS IF I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM?' HAVE YOU NEVER ASKED HER? I MEAN, YOU'RE PUSHING 30. ...DON'T HOLD BACK... THEN YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT? WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING THEIR OWN. SO WOULD SHE BE NUMBER ONE? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) ANSWER MY QUESTION. ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES OR NO. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2017 WITH THE WHITENING INGREDIENT DENTISTS USE, IT'S PART OF MY EVERYDAY BEAUTY ROUTINE. COLGATE OPTIC WHITE ` PROUD SPONSOR OF 'THE BACHELOR NEW ZEALAND'. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) I LOVE THAT I GET TO MEET ZAC RIGHT BY THE BEACH. I MEAN, HE LOVES THE BEACH. I LOVE THE BEACH. WE'RE BOTH IN OUR HOME TOWNS. AND, YEAH, IT'S JUST REALLY SPECIAL. HEY, CLAUD. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW ARE YOU? I'M GOOD. IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK HOME, EH? I KNOW. IT'S SO GOOD, RIGHT? WHAT ARE WE UP TO TODAY? WELL, THIS MORNING WE'RE GONNA BE GOING TO REGATTA, THE LITTLE RESTAURANT I USED TO WORK AT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO IT WAS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY THAT, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS WORKING ONE OF THE TIMES I'VE BEEN THROUGH THERE, WHICH IS JUST CRAZY. WE'RE JUST GONNA BE MEETING UP WITH TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS, CALLED CLAUDIA AND MADDY,... (LAUGHS) ...SO NAMES SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD FOR YA. ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. I KNOW. IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO. IT'S GONNA BE REALLY FUN SEEING CLAUDIA IN HER STOMPING GROUND WHERE SHE'S MOST COMFORTABLE. IT'LL BE A CHANCE FOR ME TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF HER. I THINK ZAC MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT INTIMIDATED COMING INTO THREE BEST FRIENDS. INTERESTED TO SEE HOW IT'S GONNA GO. CLAUD. HELLO. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) OH MY GOSH. HI, ZAC. NICE TO MEET YOU. HI. LOVELY TO MEET YOU. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME THAT ZAC SEES THIS PART OF MY LIFE. MY BEST FRIENDS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ME. THEY'VE PULLED ME THROUGH SOME PRETTY DARK TIMES. THEY REALLY CARE A LOT ABOUT ME AND ARE REALLY PROTECTIVE OVER ME AND WHO I'M SEEING, AND SO GETTING THEIR APPROVAL IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THERE'S AN AGE GAP. OOH. YEP. THERE IS. ALL RIGHT, MUM. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT? I AM MUM. I AM MUM. SHE IS, ACTUALLY. I'M MORE OF A MUM THAN DEBBIE, PROBABLY. THEY MIGHT BE A BIT APPREHENSIVE IN THE WAY THAT HE IS A BIT OLDER, AND I DON'T TEND TO USUALLY GO FOR THE OLDER GUYS, SO THAT MIGHT BE A BIT DIFFERENT FOR THEM, BUT I'M SURE THEY'LL STILL LOVE HIM. SO, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT? HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT IT? YEAH, WE HAVE, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I DON'T THINK THERE'S A CORRELATION BETWEEN MATURITY AND AGE. THE WAY CLAUDIA'S HANDLED HERSELF HAS BEEN... JUST AMAZING. THAT'S SOMEONE I WANT TO BE AROUND. YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY'RE 21 OR 31, IT DOESN'T REALLY... THAT JUST DOESN'T BOTHER ME. ZAC, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR. RIGHT ANSWER. TICK! HER FRIENDS ASKED ME SOME PRETTY TOUGH QUESTIONS, AND THEY'RE QUITE PROTECTIVE OF HER, AND I THINK THAT JUST SPEAKS TO THE KIND OF PERSON CLAUDIA IS. I THINK THAT'S, LIKE, WHY IT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL FOR US AS WELL TO, LIKE, BE HERE AND, LIKE... WHEN CLAUD'S DOWN OR IF SHE'S, LIKE, HAVING A HARD TIME, WE'RE ALL DOWN AND HAVING A HARD TIME, YOU KNOW. IT'S KIND OF LIKE ONE FOR ALL. SOME OF THE PEOPLE SHE'S, LIKE, DATED OR WHATEVER, I'M LIKE, 'NO. LIKE, YOU NEED TO GO.' SO, ZAC GOES TO THE BATHROOM, AND I KNOW THIS IS WHEN THE SERIOUS QUESTIONS ARE GONNA COME OUT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE YOU`? DO YOU REALLY LIKE HIM? YEAH. BUT ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT THE OTHER TWO GIRLS? I'M NERVOUS FOR YOU, LIKE, JUST BEING SO TOWARDS THE END. THE REAL QUESTION IS NOW ` WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS ` IS HE A GOOD KISSER? OH, YEAH. I WAS THE FIRST KISS. SATISFIED. OF COURSE YOU WERE. LIKE, HE SEEMS REALLY GENUINE, AND, LIKE, YOU GUYS ARE REALLY NATURAL. AND HE'S DIFFERENT TO OTHER PEOPLE YOU'VE DATED IN A REALLY GOOD WAY. YEAH. IN MY OPINION. HEARING HIM. LIKE, HE'S JUST MATURE. HE IS REALLY DIFFERENT. WHICH IS WHAT YOU NEED. I'VE DATED GUYS IN THE PAST THAT MY FRIENDS HAVEN'T LIKED, AND THAT WAS QUITE A TRICKY SITUATION, SO I SUPPOSE IT IS KIND OF IMPORTANT NOW THAT THEY DO LIKE HIM. JUST REALLY NICE TO MEET, LIKE, SOMEONE WHO'S LOOKING AFTER HER AND THAT SHE'S HAPPY. IT'S A BIT NERVE-RACKING TO THINK THAT... THE OTHER GIRLS. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH SEEING YOU TWO BEING HAPPY. (CHUCKLES) ALL RIGHT, WELL, ENJOY YOUR DAY. IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN MEETING BOTH OF YOU AS WELL. IT'S REALLY COOL TO... GIVE ME A HUG. GOOD LUCK. GOD, I HOPE IT'S NOT TOO HARD. IT WAS LOVELY TO MEET YOU, ZAC. NICE TO MEET YOU, CLAUDIA. GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT WAS REALLY NICE HANGING OUT WITH CLAUDIA TODAY, JUST DOING SOMETHING WHICH WE COULD EASILY DO IN THE REAL WORLD. I GUESS IT GIVES ME CONFIDENCE THAT WHAT I SEE IN HER IS EXACTLY WHO SHE IS. ARE YOU NERVOUS? UM, YEAH, A LITTLE BIT. YEAH? I GUESS I JUST GET WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL COMING FROM, AND THEY'RE JUST GONNA BE REALLY PROTECTIVE OF YOU. YEAH. I KNOW WHY THEY ARE, BECAUSE YOU'RE AMAZING. I'VE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS FROM MY PARENTS. THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR, I THINK, NOW 28 YEARS, AND TO BE HONEST, I'VE HARDLY EVER SEEN THEM FIGHT. (BIRDSONG) WELL, HE'S GOT ONE THING GOING FOR HIM ` HE'S A CATHOLIC. A GOOD ROSMINI BOY. ROSMINI BOY. HE'S A ROSMINI BOY, MATE. THAT'S A BIG BONUS. HEY, I'VE MET HIM. OH, YOU'VE MET HIM? YEAH. WELL, I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HIM. WAS HE THERE THE SAME TIME YOU WERE THERE? YEAH, WHEN I WAS, LIKE, THIRD FORM, HE WOULD'VE BEEN SEVENTH FORM. CLAUDIA: TODAY I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A LINE-UP FOR ZAC. WE'VE GOT MY MUM AND MY DAD, TWO OF MY BROTHERS, THEN MY OLDEST BROTHER'S WIFE AND MY NEPHEW. MY BROTHER WAS NOT TOO IMPRESSED THAT I WAS TAKING THE WHOLE FINDING LOVE APPROACH BY GOING ON A REALITY TELEVISION SHOW. HE'S THE OLDER BROTHER. HE'S GOT A PRETTY STRONG PRESENCE, AND HE'S GONNA BE PRETTY BRUTAL TOWARDS ZAC, I'D SAY. CHEERS, GUYS. ALL: CHEERS. CHEERS, GUYS. CHEERS, BOYS. CHEERS. THAT FIRST MOMENT WHEN I WALK IN IS THE SCARIEST, BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE WALKING OUT ON STAGE AND YOU WALK FROM, YOU KNOW, BEHIND THE CURTAIN. HELLO, FAMILY. (LAUGHS) HELLO, GUYS. MUM: OH MY GOSH. DAD, THIS IS GUYS, BEFORE START HUGGING YOU GUYS. HOW ARE YA? I'M STEVE. NICE TO MEET YOU, STEVE. HI, ZAC. I'M DEBBIE. HOW ARE YA? HI, DEB. NICE TO MEET YOU. IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE WALKING ON EGGSHELLS A LITTLE BIT. YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT A FOOT WRONG AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY THE WRONG THINGS. GOTTA MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON YOUR GAME. ASTON, ZAC WENT TO ROSMINI. PROBABLY HAD HALF THE SAME TEACHERS YOU HAD AS WELL. DEBBIE: THEY DON'T REALLY CHANGE THERE, DO THEY? (LAUGHS) NO. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT MY FAMILY LIKE ZAC. IT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL A WHOLE LOT MORE CONFIDENT IN THE SITUATION JUST TO HAVE THEIR SUPPORT BEHIND ME. MY DAD WENT TO ROSMINI, SO` OH, DID HE? HE'S AN OLD BOY? YEAH. SMALL WORLD. IT IS. DEB, CLAUDIA'S MUM, STARTS, YOU KNOW, PIECING TOGETHER LINKS AND ALL THESE SORTS OF OTHER CRAZY LITTLE TWO DEGREES OF SEPARATION, SO THAT PUTS ME AT EASE AS WELL AND, I THINK, YEAH, JUST BREAKS THE ICE. I ACTUALLY MET A GIRL THAT KNOWS YOU. DID YOU? YEAH, I DO. DANNY. TOLD US SOME, UH, SECRETS. (LAUGHTER) DID SHE JUST? WHAT, UH, DID YOU SEE IN CLAUDIA, BRO, OUT OF ALL THE REST OF THEM? UM,... (TENSE MUSIC) ...AT THE START, KIND OF JUST RUNNING OFF YOUR GUT AND FROM THE LITTLE TIME I DID SPEND WITH HER, UM, DEFINITELY FELT, LIKE, A SPARK, AND JUST THE WAY SHE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES SHE'D BEEN THROUGH, AND, YEAH, I COULD JUST TELL THAT SHE WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS INCREDIBLY COMPOSED AND JUST REALLY WELL PUT TOGETHER, AND JUST HER OUTLOOK ON LIFE. I THINK THAT'S A MASSIVE CREDIT TO HOW SHE'S BEEN RAISED AND` MOTHER. (LAUGHTER) YEAH, I THINK WE'RE JUST ON THE SAME PAGE OF A LOT OF THOSE FUNDAMENTALS, AND I FOUND THAT REALLY ATTRACTIVE, AND I WANTED TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER. WOW. THAT'S NICE. DO YOU SORT OF SEE THE AGE THING AS, LIKE, A PROBLEM? (EXHALES) I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE'S 21. 21-YEAR-OLD ZAC WOULD'VE NOT STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST 21-YEAR-OLD CLAUDIA, LIKE, AT ALL... (LAUGHTER) ...BECAUSE, I MEAN, YEAH... YOU WOULD BE A DIFFERENT SORT OF STAGES. I MEAN, YOU'RE PUSHING 30. OH! (LAUGHS) YEP. THAT'S` OH, DON'T HOLD BACK. YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THE GREY HAIRS. YOU'RE NOT WRONG. HE IS NEARLY 30, BUT I'M SURE HE DOESN'T NEED REMINDING. IT WAS HORRIBLE. I FELT SO BAD FOR HIM. SEE YOURSELVES IN THE FUTURE MARRYING OR NEAR FUTURE? (TENSE MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC) SEE YOURSELVES IN THE FUTURE MARRYING OR NEAR FUTURE? UM, SO, I GUESS, YEAH, LIKE... I GUESS, YEAH, I'M AT A POINT NOW WHERE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT FUTURE JUST FITS IN BEST WITH WHERE I SEE MYSELF AS WELL HEADING AS WELL. DOES THAT MEAN MARRIAGE? MAYBE. WHO KNOWS? ZAC, I THINK WE SHOULD GO AND HAVE A LITTLE CHAT JUST ONE-ON-ONE. IS THAT OK? ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. YOU SOUND LIKE ME AT THE FIRST COCKTAIL PARTY. (LAUGHS) THIS IS DEFINITELY A CHANCE FOR ZAC TO SEE IF HE CAN PICTURE HIMSELF BEING WITH ME AND BEING A PART OF MY FAMILY, AND SO, YEAH, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. SO, OBVIOUSLY, YOU DO REALLY FEEL SOMETHING FOR MISS CLAUDIA. YEAH, WITHOUT A WORD OF A LIE. SHE WAS SOMEONE FROM THE FIRST NIGHT WHO I'VE HAD FEELINGS FOR. AND I REMEMBER HER TELLING ME THAT FIRST NIGHT, HOW SHE WAS TALKING THROUGH HER SCARS. I HAD A LITTLE CAR ACCIDENT AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR. AND THE THINGS SHE BEEN THROUGH, AND IT WAS A REALLY SHORT SYNOPSIS OF WHAT CLAUD'S BEEN THROUGH AND HER LITTLE JOURNEY. AND, I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FELT LIKE I WANTED TO JUST PROTECT HER AND KEEP HER SAFE. THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HER THAT GIVES ME THAT FEELING INSIDE, AND I LIKE THAT, AND IT'S NICE TO FEEL THOSE FEELINGS FOR SOMEBODY. MY CONCERNS AFTER TODAY, HAVING MET ZAC, AND SEEING ZAC AND CLAUDIA TOGETHER, WERE, I GUESS, MAYBE AGE DIFFERENCE. WHAT ABOUT HER FRIENDS? HOW DO YOU`? DO YOU THINK I'D FIT IN WITH HER FRIENDS? YEAH, 21, 22. EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT AT THAT AGE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. IF CLAUDIA AND I WEREN'T ON THE SAME PAGE, UM, AND SHE WAS KEEN TO, YOU KNOW, GO OUT THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT, THEN I WOULDN'T BE HERE. I THINK AS A MOTHER, UNDOUBTEDLY, YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR CHILD, WHATEVER THEIR AGE, HURT ` EVER. I ALWAYS THINK IT'S JUST INTUITION AND MY GUT FEELING ABOUT ANYBODY, AND I HAVE A GOOD GUT FEELING ABOUT YOU. AW, THANKS, DEB. WELL, YEAH, I DO, AND I DON'T SAY THAT LIGHTLY, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THEM ABOUT EVERYBODY. (BOTH LAUGH) BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S MY DAUGHTER. UM, YEAH. AW. THIS IS A BIT STUPID, ISN'T IT? YEAH, BUT, NO, I DO LOVE HER SO MUCH, AND IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE HER HAPPY, ZAC. YEAH, SHE'S A VERY COOL YOUNG WOMAN, AND EVERYONE THAT KNOWS HER THINKS THE SAME. IT IS GOOD TO` GOOD TO SEE. YEAH, I'M A LUCKY MAN. I'M A VERY LUCKY MAN. WELL, I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A FEW OTHERS THAT'LL END UP FEELING THEY'RE A LUCKY MAN OVER YOU AS WELL. BUT, YEAH, COOL. OH WELL, NICE TALKING TO YOU. YEAH, YOU TOO. I'LL GIVE YOU A HUG NOW. THANKS, DEB. GOOD TALKING TO YOU. THEY LOOK KIND OF SMITTEN WITH ONE ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, IN A` IN A CUTE` A REALLY CUTE KIND OF WAY. THAT GIVES ME PROBABLY HUGE COMFORT AS HER MUM. YOU ASK HIM A QUESTION, AND HE'S GOT ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS. I'M NOW NATURALLY JUST A BIT CAUTIOUS BECAUSE I'M SCARED... OF HIS REJECTION. I KNOW. BUT I THINK MY WAY OF THINKING ABOUT IS THAT I KNEW WHAT I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO. YEP. AT THE MOMENT THERE'S A ONE IN THREE CHANCE THAT IT'S GONNA BE ME AT THE END. BUT THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS, HE'S BEEN REALLY GOOD AT MAKING HIS DECISIONS, AND YOU CAN TELL THAT HE'S FOLLOWING HIS HEART, AND, LIKE, YOU CAN SEE HIS REASONS FOR IT. LIKE HE SAID EARLIER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE'S LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO HE SEES, LIKE, A BRIGHTER FUTURE WITH AND IS MOST, LIKE, COMPATIBLE WITH WHERE HE WANTS TO GO IN HIS LIFE. THE FACT THAT THEY'D ONLY BEEN OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DATES, THAT'S NOT A LOT. SHE MIGHT BE INFATUATED BY HIM. SOME PEOPLE SAY LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, BUT I'M A REALIST. SO IT'S CERTAINLY EARLY DAYS FOR ANY RELATIONSHIP. CAN YOU SEE ME BEING WITH ZAC? YES, I CAN. CAN YOU? YES. DO WE LOOK QUITE COMFORTABLE AROUND EACH OTHER? YES. I MEAN, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A NUMBER OF THINGS GOING FOR HIM. HE'S A ROSMINI BOY. THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD POSITIVE. YEAH, I KNEW THAT WOULD BE A BONUS IN THIS FAMILY. (LAUGHS) I WAS LIKE, 'MY BROTHERS WENT THERE. MY NEPHEW GOES THERE. MY DAD WORKED THERE.' I THINK WE'RE A BIG ROSMINI FAMILY. YEAH. (GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC) HOW WAS HE? OH, YEAH, HE'S LOVELY. WHAT A LOVELY` YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM TOO MUCH...? NO. DEFINITELY NOT. AFTER, I THINK, FIVE MINUTES, I THINK HE'S A VERY, VERY GENUINE, VERY REAL YOUNG MAN. SEEING ZAC AND CLAUDIA TOGETHER, IT WAS VERY EASY FOR ME TO FORGET THAT SHE WAS ONE OF THREE. THEY DO LOOK RIGHT TOGETHER, I HAVE TO SAY. YOU THINK YOU DO LOVE HIM? OH! FLIPPIN' HELL, MUM. (LAUGHS) DO YOU? I HAVEN'S SAID THAT. I... WHAT? I WAS SO TAKEN BACK BY THAT. I DID NOT THINK MY MUM WOULD BRING THAT UP OR SHE WOULD SAY IT SO LIGHTLY. YOU CAN'T SAY YOU LOVE SOMEBODY UNTIL ... LIKE, I WOULDN'T GIVE THAT IDEA A THOUGHT UNTIL I WAS THE ONLY` IF I WAS THE ONLY GIRL. YEAH, YEAH. A BIT OF PROTECTING YOURSELF, I GUESS. YEAH. I COULD SEE MYSELF HEADING THAT WAY AFTER ALL THIS IF I WAS THAT GIRL AT THE END. I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR THAT. OH, GOSH, YOU SHOCKED ME SAYING THAT FIRST. (LAUGHS) I THOUGHT YOU HAD SAID THAT. NO. NO. I WOULDN'T SAY THAT. NO. NOT BECAUSE I DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING. IT IS QUITE HARD TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE'S ACTUALLY MEETING TWO OTHER FAMILIES AS WELL BECAUSE MEETING A FAMILY IN A RELATIONSHIP IS A HUGE STEP AND HE'S MAKING THAT HUGE STEP WITH THREE DIFFERENT GIRLS, AND... YEAH, THAT'S A BIT DIFFERENT. (LAUGHS) ALL RIGHT, SO YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION. HMM. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT? UM, THAT'S` AND THAT'S THE REALLY TOUGH PART. YEAH, COS WHEN YOU'VE COME SO FAR, AND NOW YOU'VE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LET ONE OF THEM GO, INITIALLY, AND THEN YOU'RE FACED WITH THAT DILEMMA OF HAVING TO PICK ONE OF TWO. YEAH, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I ENJOY THINKING ABOUT, SO, TO BE FAIR, I TEND TO NOT THINK ABOUT IT. I COULD'VE GONE THROUGH THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WORRYING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHO DO I PICK OR DO I NOT PICK, AND I WOULDN'T HAVE GOT ANYWHERE, AND THEN THE GIRLS WOULD'VE SEEN THIS GUY WHO'S WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GOT THE BEST VERSION OF ME. SO... YEAH... HE'S GOT A DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE. IN A NORMAL SORT OF SCENARIO, YOU KNOW, YOUR DAUGHTER GOES OUT WITH A GUY, SORT OF, HALF A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE SHE EVEN THINKS ABOUT BRINGING HIM HOME. TALKING TO CLAUDIA, AND SHE'S SAYING, 'WELL, WE'VE HAD TWO, YOU KNOW, ONE-ON-ONES, 'AND THEN THREE, WHATEVER, GROUP ONES.' YEAH, GROUP SITUATIONS, YEAH. IT'S NOT A LOT. NAH, IT'S NOT, AND IT'S, UM... I THINK THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTS ME TO CLAUDIA AS WELL. SHE'S HOPING TO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH SOMEBODY. IT'S ALMOST LIKE AT SOME POINTS HE WAS GROOMED, BUT I SUPPOSE HE'S BEEN ASKED THAT SAME QUESTION SO MANY TIMES BY THE GIRLS. HAVING SAID THAT, CLAUDIA SEEMS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S MY PRIMARY CONCERN. CHEERS, STEVE. ZAC, THANK YOU SO MUCH. NO WORRIES. THANKS FOR HAVING ME AND THANKS FOR WELCOMING ME INTO YOUR HOME FOR A DAY. NO, NO, OUR PLEASURE, OBVIOUSLY, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO... IT'S GONNA BE A COUPLE OF ANXIOUS WEEKS. YEAH. YEAH, UM... (CHUCKLES) AND HOPEFULLY AFTER THAT WE'LL SEE MORE OF YOU. (BOTH LAUGH) YEAH, I GUESS HE JUST WANTS ME TO BE HONEST, BUT THEN A PART OF ME KNOWS THAT I CAN'T AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH HIM, BECAUSE THEN I'LL BE WANDERING INTO DANGEROUS TERRITORY WHERE I'M MAKING FALSE PROMISES. WELL, I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST. I CAN SEE THAT MY DAD IS PRETTY SCARED FOR ME. I THINK HE JUST DOESN'T WANT HIS LITTLE GIRL GETTING HURT. ZAC. NICE TO MEET YOU, STEVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LIKEWISE, MATE. CHEERS, THANK YOU. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING OVER. NO WORRIES. NICE TO MEET YOU, ASTON. IT'S DAYS LIKE TODAY WHERE IT REALLY HITS HOME THAT THERE'S, LIKE, A LOT OF PEOPLE... INVESTED IN WHAT HAPPENS THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. BYE. I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE. GOOD TO MEET YOU, BRO. AND I'M JUST REALLY ENJOYING THE MOMENT FOR WHAT IT IS. COOL. ALL RIGHT. SHOULD WE HEAD OFF, THEN? WE'LL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER. (OVERLAPPING FAREWELLS) IT'S A REALLY GOOD SIGN FOR ME THAT MY PARENTS LIKE HIM. IT MEANS IF I EVER HAVE TO BRING HIM HOME AGAIN, I'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING THAT. I SUPPOSE I WON'T SEE YOU FOR A LITTLE BIT NOW. YEAH. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH. (ROMANTIC MUSIC) NOW THAT ZAC HAS MET MY PARENTS, I DEFINITELY THINK THAT MY FEELINGS FOR HIM HAVE GOT A LOT STRONGER. SEE YOU SOON. SEE YOU IN A BIT. IT JUST MAKES THIS WHOLE SITUATION A LOT MORE REAL AND MAKES ME WANT TO BE THAT GIRL AT THE VERY END OF THIS. I'M REALLY CONSCIOUS I'VE GOT TWO MORE DAYS SIMILAR TO TODAY TO GO, AND THAT'S GONNA BE REALLY TOUGH. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) STILL TO COME ` SHE MUST'VE THOUGHT, 'WHAT HAPPENS IF I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM?' HAVE YOU NEVER ASKED HER? JUST PEOPLE'S FEELINGS ARE AT STAKE HERE. YOUR PARENTS HAVE IT, YOUR FRIENDS HAVE IT, YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT, SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU GOT IT? (UPBEAT, LAID-BACK MUSIC) # I CAN LET GO OF # ALL THE THINGS THAT CAUSE # US TO LOSE OUR WAY. # LILY: WE'RE AT MARTINBOROUGH TODAY AT MY UNCLE'S FARM, WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR FROM WELLINGTON, AND THAT'S WHERE MY FAMILY LIVES. OH GOD. KIND OF WANT HIM TO BE A BIT OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE, YOU KNOW, TEST HIM, REALLY, SEE WHAT HE'S MADE OF. I LIKE BEING IN CHARGE A LITTLE BIT. IT'S KIND OF LIKE I CALL THE SHOTS NOW. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA GET ME INTO, LIL? I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST GONNA GO FOR A NICE LITTLE ROMANTIC PICNIC... ARE WE? ...AND NOTHING MUCH ELSE. (LAUGHS) IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? PRETTY CLOSE. HOW'VE YOU BEEN? I'VE BEEN GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU. EXCITED? YES. GOOD. THE RELATIONSHIP LILY AND I HAVE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WHICH DEVELOPED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. I MEAN, I GUESS IT WASN'T UNTIL A BIT LATER ON WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST ONE-ON-ONE DATE WHERE I KNEW THAT THIS WAS A GIRL WHO WAS AMAZING AND I WANT TO SPEND WAY MORE TIME WITH HER. WHAT ARE WE DOING? SO, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I USED TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF DIRT BIKING GROWING UP. MY DAD'S A BIT OF A MOTORBIKE FIEND, SO I KINDA CAUGHT THAT OFF HIM. AND I THOUGHT WE'D COMBINE THE TWO THINGS THAT I LIKE MOST IN LIFE, AND THAT'S WINE AND MOTORBIKES. OOH, I LIKE IT. YEAH? YEAH. YOU EXCITED? HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN ONE BEFORE? NAH, BUT I'M SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE IT A NUDGE. YEAH. OK, COOL. HOPE YOUSE HAVE AN AMBO ON STANDBY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO IF HE FALLS OFF. LET GO OF THE THROTTLE. YEAH, YOU'RE IN FIRST GEAR. YOU CAN LET GO OF THE CLUTCH. WHOO! (LAUGHS) I COULD ACTUALLY SEE THAT, YEAH, HE IS WILLING TO GIVE ANYTHING A GO. AND, YEAH, THAT WAS QUITE AN ATTRACTIVE QUALITY. COME ON, MATE. (CHUCKLES) (ROCK MUSIC) WHOO-HOO! IT IS A BIT OF A SNAPSHOT INTO WHAT LIFE WITH LILY WOULD BE LIKE, AND IT'S JUST SO MUCH FUN BEING AROUND LILY. COME ON, PRINCESS! (MUSIC CONTINUES) LILY AND I GET ON SO WELL, AND WE COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER IN SO MANY AREAS, AND WE CHALLENGE EACH OTHER IN SO MANY AREAS. AND WE COULD HAVE AN AMAZING RELATIONSHIP. HOW DO I SAY NO TO THAT? I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT ME OUT HERE. I'M GLAD I DID. IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, LIL. IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. IT'S GOOD TO HANG OUT. MM, IT IS. DEFINITELY PLAYS IN MY MIND WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS... LIKE, HOW THIS IS GONNA END UP FOR ME. YOU COMFY HERE? IT'S NOT BAD. HOW WAS THAT FOR YA? SO MUCH FUN. REALLY? YEAH. ARE YOU, UM,... NERVOUS ABOUT THIS EVENING? YEAH, I AM A BIT NERVOUS. I'M REALLY INTERESTED AND EXCITED TO MEET YOUR FAMILY, THOUGH. YEAH. MY BEST MATE COULDN'T BE HERE, COS SHE'S IN AUSTRALIA AND SHE'S GOING ON A SUPERYACHT SOON. BUT, UM, SHE SAID TO SAY HEY. HEY. YEAH. HEY. (LAUGHS) UM, BUT, YEAH, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. OK. YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE SOFT SPOT IN ME? YEAH. THAT'S ALL MY MUM. (CHUCKLES) YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD` NO, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING HER. YEAH. THERE WAS THE TIME WHERE I WAS, KIND OF, JUST SO IN DOUBT ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND THINKING WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS FAIR, BUT... YEAH, I JUST KIND OF CHANGED MY MIND. I WAS LIKE, I JUST KIND OF HAVE TO GO WITH IT. I KNOW YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY BRING A GUY HOME TO YOUR FAMILY, LET ALONE THIS SOON. YEAH, THIS SOON, DEFINITELY NOT. UM,... YEAH, I WOULDN'T BRING HOME A SCUMBAG... TO A DEGREE. (LAUGHS) I THINK THEY'LL LIKE YOU. FAMILY IS VERY CLOSE TO ME, AND I LIKE THEM TO BE A PART OF MY RELATIONSHIP, BECAUSE THEY'RE A COOL BUNCH OF PEOPLE, AND I WANT MY BOYFRIEND, YOU KNOW, TO BE A PART OF THAT. YOU KNOW, I'M EXPECTING HER FAMILY TO BE VERY LOYAL AND VERY PROTECTIVE OF LILY. YEAH, I'M PREPPING MYSELF FOR SOME` YEAH, FOR SOME,... YEAH, TOUGH CONVERSATIONS. HIS MOTHER IS AUSTRALIAN. YEAH. AND SHE GAVE HIM REALLY GOOD ADVICE, AND HER ADVICE WAS 'FIND A MATE'. I THINK, LIKE, THEY'RE NOT` THEY'RE GONNA LOVE YOU. I CAN JUST FEEL IT. I'M NERVOUS, SO... (WHIMPERS) SAME. I'M KIND OF NOT REALLY NERVOUS. I'M JUST... EXCITED. (LAUGHTER) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) MUM IS JUST A SHORT, LITTLE, SWEET BLONDE LADY THAT IS JUST FULL OF LOVE AND CARE. AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT IN A MUM, SHE'S GOT IT. HI, ZAC. JERRY. HEY, JERRY. NICE TO MEET YOU. YOU TOO. JERRY IS MY MUM'S PARTNER, AND THEY ARE JUST A POWER COUPLE. THEY'RE SO CUTE. HOW YOU GOING, DUDE? AWW, HOW ARE YOU? OH, NOT TOO BAD. IT'S BEEN AGES. YOU'RE STILL ALIVE? (CHUCKLES) YEAH. MY BROTHER JAKE, HE'S A PRETTY COOL KIND OF GUY. HE IS QUITE LAID-BACK, AND HE WAS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT WAS PULLING CIGARETTES OUT OF MY HAND WHEN I WAS 16 AND GOING, 'NO!' HI. GRACE. NICE TO MEET YOU. HI. NICE TO MEET YOU. SO, GRACE IS MY BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND. SHE'S JUST... LOVELY. (BOTH LAUGH) AW, MUM. IT'S OK. YEAH, EVERYONE, ZAC. HELLO, ZAC. (LAUGHS) HI, EVERYONE. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE LILY CAME FROM AND HOW SHE CAME TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE AMAZING GIRL SHE IS TODAY. WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIVES? (LAUGHS) (LAUGHTER) (SHRIEKS) (UPBEAT MUSIC) ABBIE'S ABOUT TO GO AWAY TO WORK. AND WE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING SOONER, BUT SHE'S NOT GOING UNTIL NEXT WEEK. WHAT THE...? WHAT? ABBIE: I KNOW. THIS IS YOUR LITTLE SURPRISE. PRETTY 10 OUT OF 10 TO SEE ABBIE. I DIDN'T EXPECT HER TO BE THERE, AND I LOST MY SHIT. LIKE, ABBIE KNOWS ME LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND. YOU KNOW, LIKE,... YOUR MOTHER KNOWS YOU BECAUSE YOU COME OUT OF HER UTERUS, BUT, LIKE, YOUR BEST FRIEND KNOWS THE WEIRD, THE WILD ` ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT YOUR MOTHER JUST DOESN'T REALLY KNOW. YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GLOWING. (LAUGHS) THANKS. SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN INTO BOYS OR MEN A BIT OLDER THAN HER FOR THE REASON, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WAY AND THEY'VE GOT THEIR` LIKE, THEIR GOALS IN PLACE. SO, HAVE YOU GUYS THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WE KIND OF HAVE TALKED, LIKE, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT... I SEE LILY AS` SHE'S QUITE A FREE SPIRIT,... OH YEAH. (LAUGHS) ...AND I JUST WANTED TO, I GUESS, UM` AND THAT'S TOTALLY FINE, AND I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE, UM... AND SHE'LL SCOFF AT THIS, BUT I KIND OF SAID TO HER, 'I DON'T WANT TO CAGE A BUTTERFLY.' YEAH, KNOW, I HEAR YA. AND HER REPLY WAS, 'YOU COULDN'T CAGE ME EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO.' (LAUGHTER) EXACTLY! HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER DECISION I WANNA MAKE IT'S BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT. IF I THOUGHT I WAS BEING CAGED RIGHT NOW, I WOULDN'T BE HERE. YEAH, IDEALLY, I'D BE` I'D BE KEEN TO BE STAYING IN AUCKLAND, AND I THINK LILY MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS PRETTY KEEN TO... YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW I'M NOT TIED DOWN TO ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION. NO. YOU'RE DEFINITELY A FREE SPIRIT. YOU SEEM TO FIT IN PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE. YEAH, EXACTLY. I HAVEN'T REALLY FOUND MY PLACE YET, AND I CAN'T DISS IT TILL I TRY IT. THERE'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY NOW THERE FOR HIM TO BE MY BOYFRIEND IN A LATER STAGE. BUT IT'S STILL SO SLIM BECAUSE OTHER LADIES AROUND ME AND IT'S JUST NOT... IT'S STILL NOT GOOD. WHAT IS IT THAT ATTRACTED YOU TO LILY OUT OF 19 GIRLS? MY MUM'S AUSTRALIAN, SO I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH PLENTY OF CHEEK, AND MY DAD'S NOT SHORT OF WORDS, SO SHE PLAYS OUT TO BE THIS BIG TOMBOY, BUT REALLY SHE'S, YOU KNOW, JUST A BALL OF PUTTY INSIDE. SHE IS. IT JUST BLEW ME AWAY AND... SHE'S AMAZING. SHE IS. SHE IS. SHE'S AMAZING. SHE'S INCREDIBLE. I LOVE HER. (LAUGHTER) EVERYONE'S REALLY INVESTED IN THIS, AND THERE ARE FEELINGS, LIKE, REALLY BIG FEELINGS ON THE TABLE, AND I'VE GOT TO ACCEPT THAT RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL, AND I'VE GOT TO... I DON'T KNOW, JUST MAKE SURE THAT I REALLY DO AS MUCH AS I CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN I MAKE A DECISION THAT I'M POSITIVE. WHAT ABOUT HER AGE? DOES THAT BOTHER YOU? THERE'S TIMES WHERE I THINK I'M TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO COULD BE TWICE HER AGE. YEAH. SHE'S VERY ADVENTUROUS, THOUGH, SO YOU'VE GOTTA JOIN IN ON THE... YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND I GUESS` AND, LIKE, I'M NOT` I MEAN, SURE, I'M 28, BUT I'M NOT LOOKING TO SETTLE DOWN. I STILL WANT TO GO AND DO THINGS. BUT I GUESS, YEAH, THE ONLY THING WHICH ` AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ` IS, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T UP AND GO OVERSEAS FOR MONTHS ON END ANY MORE. I'VE JUST GOT COMMITMENTS TYING ME DOWN TO THAT. MY CONCERN IS HER AND HER TRAVELS AND HER STAYING IN ONE SPOT, BECAUSE I KNOW SHE'S BEEN A FREE SPIRIT FOR A WHILE, BUT SAYING THAT, SHE DOES LIKE HIM, AND SHE'S WILLING TO COMPROMISE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO. YEAH, WELL, YOU NEED TO TIE DOWN SOON ANYWAY. (LAUGHTER) YOU NEED TO GET SOME THINGS... AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BROUGHT UP WITH HIM AS WELL. YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN. YEAH, LIKE, I'VE DONE MY THINGS, AND I NEED TO FIND A PLACE. SO, WHAT'S IT LIKE DATING THREE GIRLS RIGHT NOW? UM, IT'S... UH, IT'S A MIXTURE OF REALLY EXCITING AND REALLY CONFUSING AND REALLY DIFFICULT. IS SHE YOUR FAVOURITE? (LAUGHTER) I DON'T THINK HE CAN LEGALLY SAY THAT. (LAUGHS) I MEAN, IT... I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT. (LAUGHTER) THE HARD PART IS... DECIDING HOW HONEST YOU WANT TO BE WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT... WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, VIARNI, LILY AND CLAUDIA. AND I GUESS THE RISK YOU RUN IS ` DO YOU BE TOO HONEST AND KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT POTENTIALLY HURT SOMEONE THEY CARE ABOUT? (SEA BIRD SQUAWKS) YOU NEED TO TAKE TIME. LUST AND PASSION AND ALL THOSE EMOTIONS CAN GET VERY CONFUSING, AND YOU CAN MISS WHAT'S REAL IN A RELATIONSHIP. I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT... HOW SHE WILL FEEL IF SHE IS REJECTED BY ZAC. AT THIS STAGE, YOU KNOW, YEAH, IT WOULD HURT, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I'M NOT` IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. SHE WILL PUT ON A BRAVE FRONT, BECAUSE THAT IS LILY. THAT'S LILY'S PERSONALITY. SHE DOESN'T EASILY EXPOSE HERSELF TO OTHER PEOPLE. BUT I DO THINK REJECTION IS A POWERFUL EMOTION AND I THINK ANYONE WOULD BE LYING IF THEY SAID THEY COULD JUST BREEZE THROUGH IT AND THEY'LL BE FINE. I THINK IT WILL AFFECT HER. AND I THINK SHE GENUINELY LIKES HIM A LOT. WOULD YOU SEE YOURSELF HAVING A FAMILY WITH HIM? THAT'S SAVAGE, MAN. I NEED TO KNOW. LIKE, I... LIKE, I SEE MYSELF HAVING A FAMILY, DEFINITELY. YEAH, I DO. I DO EVENTUALLY JUST NOT NOW. HELL NO. IT'S A BIT WEIRD TO SEE. SHE HASN'T BEEN A RELATIONSHIP PERSON. WE'LL PUT IT THAT WAY. SHE'S JUST GONNA GIVE IT A GO, I THINK, COS SHE DOES LIKE HIM, AND SHE'S WILLING TO COMPROMISE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO. LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME AT THE MOMENT. I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T HURT YOUR LITTLE SOUL. (LAUGHS) BUT I KNOW HE WON'T CRUSH IT,... HE WON'T CRUSH IT. ...COS YOU'LL BE OK. YEAH, I'VE DEFINITELY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS. IF HE WANTS ME TO BE LIKE, 'RIGHT, I LOVE YOU,' BEFORE THIS FINALE OR WHATEVER, I'LL BE LIKE, 'YEAH, ALL RIGHT, SEE YA. 'WELL, I GOTTA GO, COS I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.' HE'S JUST A LOVELY PERSON. AND HE'S HOT. CAREFUL, BECAUSE I MIGHT JUMP ON HIM. (BOTH SNIGGER) I THINK ZAC GETS ABBIE'S APPROVAL. HE GOT HER APPROVAL IN THE LOOKS DEPARTMENT. I WISH I KNEW WHAT'S UNDER HIS SHIRT. LILY CAN COME ACROSS AS SHE IS INCREDIBLY EASY-GOING, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T BE QUITE SURE IF THAT'S... SHE CAN STILL BE HURT. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. SHE WILL PUT UP A FACADE. AND SHE SAID TO ME, 'IF ZAC CHOOSES SOMEONE ELSE, I'M OK WITH THAT, 'BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE ZAC AND I WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY.' BUT I'M NOT` I'M NOT 100% SURE ABOUT HOW SHE WILL BE WHEN` YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T CHOOSE TO BE WITH HER. ONE DAY YOU'LL HAVE A DAUGHTER AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL AND I REALLY DON'T WANT YOU TO HURT HER. I GUESS TALKING WITH BELINDA TODAY, IT'S POSSIBLY MADE ME REALISE... HOW... MADE ME REALISE THAT LILY MIGHT BE A BIT MORE INVESTED THAN SHE'S LETTING ON. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY` THAT MAKES ME SMILE, BUT ALSO IT'S... IT'S` IT'S KINDA SCARY TOO, BECAUSE... YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT RESPONSIBILITY MORE. SHE MUST'VE THOUGHT, 'WHAT HAPPENS IF I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM? 'AND WHAT HAPPENS IF HE DOESN'T CHOOSE ME?' SHE MUST'VE. IT MUST'VE GONE THROUGH HER MIND. ALL OF THE GIRLS. DO YOU THINK? I DON'T KNOW. UH... HAVE YOU NEVER ASKED HER? UM, I MEAN... HAVE YOU NEVER ASKED ANY OF THE GIRLS? NOT` NOT` NO, I... UH, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY TO THAT. HAVE YOU HAD` EXPERIENCED REJECTION IN YOUR LIFE? YEP. ABSOLUTELY. AND HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH IT? UM... DID YOU TAKE IT PERSONALLY? UH, YEP. I DID TAKE IT PERSONALLY AT THE TIME. I, UM, FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY 20S, I WAS TRYING QUALIFY FOR THE OLYMPICS IN KAYAKING, AND IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS SELECTED TO RACE AT A WORLD CHAMPS TO QUALIFY FOR AN OLYMPICS. HE DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP HE'D BEEN IN THAT HE'D BEEN REJECTED. HE ONLY TOLD ME ABOUT HIS SPORTING... TROUBLES. I IMAGINE LOSING A LOVE COULD BE SIMILAR TO IT BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME. AND HE'S NOT A WOMAN, SO... IT'S VERY DIFFERENT. (SEA BIRD SQUAWKS) I'VE HAD A REALLY NICE TIME. I DON'T LIKE TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING. DON'T LEAVE ME. NO. DON'T LEAVE US. ZAC, YOU CAN STAY TOO. BOTH OF YOU CAN STAY. THE BED'S MADE UP IN THE SPARE ROOM. I'VE GOT CLEAN SHEETS. MEETING LILY'S FAMILY HAS BEEN` I FEEL LIKE IT'S BEEN A REALLY BIG STEP FORWARD IN OUR RELATIONSHIP. I GUESS IT JUST REINFORCES TO ME PEOPLE'S FEELINGS ARE AT STAKE HERE. I'M LITERALLY JUST A FEW HOURS AWAY. AND I'LL BE HOME REALLY SOON. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I THINK IF LILY WOULD END UP WITH ZAC, SHE WOULD` THEY WOULD HAVE MY BLESSING. I THINK HE'D BE MAD NOT TO CHOOSE LILY. THAT'S REALLY ALL I CAN SAY. (SEA BIRDS SQUAWK) IT'S DEFINITELY GETTING HARDER, BECAUSE YOU JUST BECOME MORE AND MORE FOND OF THE PERSON AND YOU LET THEM INTO YOUR LIFE MORE AND MORE, AND THEY BECOME A BIGGER PART INSIDE YOU THAT JUST CONSUMES YOU AND THEN, LIKE, YOU'RE STILL NOT... THAT PERSON'S PERSON. TODAY WAS A BIG, IMPORTANT STEP FOR ME. YEAH? I'M GLAD THAT WE TOOK IT. YEAH, SO AM I. SEE YOU SOON. (ROMANTIC MUSIC) SEE YA LATER. SEE YA LATER. SAYING GOODBYE TO LILY, THERE WAS THIS TENDERNESS, THIS SOFTNESS. IT WAS... I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS A BIT MORE PASSIONATE, TO BE FAIR, THAN WHAT I EXPECTED, AND I THINK, YEAH, FOR HER, IT'S BECOMING A BIT MORE REAL. STILL TO COME ` WE'VE HAD TWO DATES JUST THE TWO OF US. IT'S NOT A LOT OF TIME. AND HE'S SHARING HIMSELF WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I KNOW. PEOPLE ARE COMPARING HIM TO PEOPLE I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST. I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST IRRITATING ME. I'M JUST GONNA WALK AWAY. (EASY-GOING MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) I BROUGHT ZAC HERE TO MT MAUNGANUI BECAUSE IT'S THE TOWN I GREW UP IN. I'VE GOT HEAPS OF FAMILY FRIENDS HERE, AND IT'S JUST` I LOVE IT. I STILL CALL IT HOME. HEY, YOU. HELLO. I'M EXCITED TO SEE ZAC,... (SQUEALS) ...BUT I AM NERVOUS FOR HIM TO MEET MY FAMILY. I KNOW THAT THEY'LL LOVE HIM, BUT IT'S ALWAYS DAUNTING. (LAUGHS) HI. HEY. HOW ARE YOU? MUFFLED: IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. I KNOW. I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE. SAME. I'VE ALWAYS HAD FEELINGS FOR VIARNI, BUT WHEN SHE'S RELAXED IN THIS SORT OF ENVIRONMENT, IT'S... YEAH, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO WIPE THE GRIN OFF MY FACE. LIKE THAT ONE. IT'S STILL THERE. IT AIN'T GONNA GO ANYWHERE. I'M PSYCHED TO BE HERE. I KNOW. NERVOUS, BUT I'M PSYCHED TO BE HERE. I KNOW! WELL, WE'RE BACK ON HOME GROUND. I KNOW THAT WE'VE KIND OF BEEN ON A CRAZY ADVENTURE TOGETHER, BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU PART OF MY REALITY, AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS STILL A REALLY BIG PART OF MY LIFE. UM, SO IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL. YOU'RE GONNA MEET MY OLDER BROTHER. OK. ALL RIGHT. HE HAS SOME BOARDS FOR US TO JUST PADDLE ROUND, RELAX, HAVE FUN. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST WANT IT TO BE CHILL AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO HANG OUT WITH YOU. (SQUEALS) COOL. ALL RIGHT. STRAIGHT INTO THE LION'S DEN. I'D BETTER BE READY. SINK OR SWIM TIME FOR ME. I AM NERVOUS. I AM ABSOLUTELY NERVOUS. HOW'S IT GOING? HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. HI, BIG BROTHER. OOH. (LAUGHS) HI. SORRY. THIS IS ZAC. HEY, MAN. ZAC, THIS IS TORIN. TORIN, NICE TO MEET YOU. MY BIG BROTHER. MY OLDER BROTHER TORIN IS 25, AND HE'S VERY MUCH JUST LIKE A FRIEND AS MUCH AS A BROTHER TO ME. HE MIGHT GIVE ZAC A LITTLE BIT OF STICK, YOU KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. COOL, ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO THIS. AWESOME. SWEET. LET'S GET OUT THERE. GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE INTO MY BIKINI, SO... I'LL SEE YOU SOON. NOT GONNA LIE. THIS ISN'T AWKWARD AT ALL. I'M DATING YOUR YOUNGER SISTER. AND YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE. AWESOME. HE'S A PROTECTIVE OLDER BROTHER, AND I RESPECT THAT. I'M EXPECTING A GRILLING. (CHUCKLES) I GUESS THE ULTIMATE QUESTION, EH. YOU'LL PROBABLY GET ASKED THAT BY MY OLD MAN AND MY MUM, BUT DO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE HER? (LAUGHS) SHE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF I DIDN'T LIKE HER. YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. I FEEL SO WEIRD SAYING THIS, COS YOU'RE HER BROTHER. I CAN HONESTLY SAY FROM THE MOMENT I SAW V, UM, I'VE FELT SOMETHING PRETTY... YEAH, I FELT SOMETHING PRETTY INCREDIBLE. YEAH. COOL. I FEEL LIKE IN THE LAST FEW TIMES WE'VE SPENT TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY IN THAILAND, OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS PROGRESSED QUITE A LOT, AND IT'S VERY SCARY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S HEADING IN A REALLY GOOD DIRECTION. HOW WAS MY BRO? HE'S ALL GOOD. HE'S LIKE, 'SO, DO YOU ACTUALLY LIKE V?' I WAS LIKE... I WAS LIKE, 'I GUESS SO. THIS IS KIND OF WEIRD COS YOU'RE HER BROTHER 'AND I'VE ONLY JUST MET YOU, BUT I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I'VE FELT PRETTY STRONG FEELINGS FOR HER SINCE THE MOMENT I SAW HER.' (SQUEALS) I JUST HOPED I PASSED HIS TEST. (LAUGHS) OH MY GOD. NO TEST. IT'S MY DAD YOU'VE GOT TO WORRY ABOUT. (LAUGHS) I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS TO INTRODUCE ZAC TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. (OMINOUS MUSIC) IT'S BEEN SUCH A BUILDUP, BUT THEN ZAC'S REALLY NERVOUS, AND THAT'S KIND OF RUBBING OFF ON ME AS WELL. (SEAGULLS CAW) I HAVEN'T SEEN HER FOR A LITTLE WHILE. YOU KNOW, ABSENCE MAKES THE HERAT GROW FONDER, AND THAT'S DEFINITELY THE SITUATION IN THIS CASE. IT JUST MADE MY FEELINGS STRONGER FOR HER, GETTING TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER. (WARM MUSIC) SHE WAS A LOT MORE RELAXED TODAY, AND IN HER BEING A BIT MORE RELAXED, SHE JUST A MORE CONFIDENT VERSION OF HERSELF. I FIND THAT SO ATTRACTIVE IN VIARNI. WELL, THE RELAXING PART'S OVER, AND I'M QUITE EXCITED TO THROW YOU IN THE DEEP END. OK. AND I DON'T MEAN THE OCEAN. (CHUCKLES) DO YOU NOT? (LAUGHS) WELL, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE TO MEET SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE EVER. UM, YOU'LL BE MEETING MY PARENTS,... YEP. ...MY OTHER BROTHER AND HIS PARTNER... YEP. ...AND ALSO THREE OF MY BEST GIRLFRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. (CHUCKLES) ALL RIGHT. SWEET. I'M NOT NERVOUS AT ALL (!) NO! I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO BE NERVOUS AT ALL. (CHUCKLES) LET'S DO IT. LET'S DO IT? YEP, LET'S DO IT. OK. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO. (GENTLE MUSIC) WELL, I'M NERVOUS. ARE YA? OH YEAH. I'M NERVOUS TOO. WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU NERVOUS? I DUNNO. I'M NERVOUS AND EXCITED, AND IN` IT'S KIND OF THE ANTICIPATION. I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS CREW IN QUITE SOME TIME. I HOPE THEY'LL GET ALONG. UM, I DON'T REALLY SEE WHY THEY WOULDN'T. MY BROTHERS MIGHT JOKINGLY RARK ZAC UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT I THINK HE CAN HANDLE IT. AH, THIS IS SO WEIRD. 'JUST MAKES IT A WHOLE LOT MORE REAL,' AND I JUST WANNA MAKE A REALLY GOOD IMPRESSION. OH MY GOD! VIARNI. LOOK. THERE'S VIARNI. LOOK. THERE'S OUR GIRL. (LAUGHS) HI! (LAUGHS) (SQUEALS) HI! HI! HI! HI! K. HI! HI. HI, SWEETIE. MMMMMM! OH, I GOTTA DITCH MY BEER. OH, I'M GONNA CRY. HOW ARE YA? MM, GOOD. HEY. HOW ARE YA? THIS IS ZAC, EVERYONE. THIS IS ZAC. HEY, ZAC. FEEL FREE TO SAY HI. HEY. HOW YOU DOING? NICE TO MEET YA. HEY, GLENN. HOW ARE YA? MY DAD IS JUST LIKE MY BROTHERS. HE IS VERY SERIOUS BUT IN A KIND OF, LIKE, WILL REALLY TRY TO WIND YOU UP WAY. SO, UH, I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ABOUT HIM AND WHAT HE'S GONNA THROW AT ZAC. HEY, WENDY. NICE TO MEET YOU. NICE TO MEET YOU. YOU TOO. MY MUM IS MY ROCK. JUST AS MUCH AS SHE IS MY MUM, SHE'S MY FRIEND, AND I TELL HER A LOT, SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT SHE LIKES ZAC. GIDDAY. HEY, MAN. KELBY. HEY.

SO, I'VE GOT THREE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD HERE ` CAT, ESTIANA AND LULU. HEY. HELLO. HI. NICE TO MEET YOU. LOVELY TO MEET YOU, EVERYONE. (CHUCKLES) YEAH, SO, THIS IS ZAC. HEY. DID YOU GET TO MEET EVERYONE? I JUST LEFT YOU FOR A FREE-FOR-ALL. YEAH, I'LL TRY MY BEST TO REMEMBER NAMES. (SIGHS) ZAC DOES LOOK NERVOUS, BUT THIS IS A WHOLE NEW KIND OF NERVOUS. WELCOME HOME, V. OH, CHEERS. AND WELCOME TO THE MOUNT, ZAC. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YEAH. CHEERS. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. JESS: WELCOME TO THE FAMILY. (LAUGHTER) MAYBES, QUESTION MARKS. THAT'S SOON. (LAUGHTER) YEAH, THIS IS THE FAMILY. THIS IS THE FAMILY, YEAH. WHO HAS A QUESTION FOR ZAC? I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING ALL THE TALKING. MAN: YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION, GLENN. I KNOW YOU HAVE ONE. YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK IT. OH, ALL RIGHT, THEN. (OMINOUS MUSIC) I WAS PACKING MYSELF. IT WAS LIKE... YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE I'M, LIKE, A LAMB GETTING LED TO THE SLAUGHTER. THIS IS LIKE BAPTISM OF FIRE. YOUR PARENTS HAVE IT, YOUR FRIENDS HAVE IT, YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT, SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU GOT IT? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) YOUR PARENTS HAVE IT, YOUR FRIENDS HAVE IT, YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT, SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU GOT IT? (COMPELLING MUSIC) I THOUGHT IT WAS QUITE AN INTERESTING QUESTION. I SUPPOSE ZAC'S A BIT OLDER THAN ME, AND DAD'S KIND OF LIKE, 'WELL, WHY HAVEN'T YOU FOUND LOVE YET?' I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS EVERYONE'S` EVERYONE'S JOURNEY'S DIFFERENT, RIGHT? AND, UM, YEAH, SOME PEOPLE GET LUCKY AND THEY MEET THEIR PERSON EARLY ON, AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PATH AND MEET PEOPLE AND LEARN THINGS. I WAS AT A POINT WHERE I WAS, UM, LOOKING TO FIND SOMEBODY, AND, UM, OBVIOUSLY VIARNI'S SOMEONE WHO I'VE GOT VERY STRONG FEELINGS FOR, SO, UM,... (SQUEALS) ...YEAH. (LAUGHTER) DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? YEAH. GOOD ANSWER! WAS THAT QUICKLY THAT YOU HAD FEELINGS FOR V? YEAH. I WAS A VERY NERVOUS BOY WAITING UPON THE DRIVEWAY, AND, UM, DOWN CAME V, AND I JUST THOUGHT, 'WOW.' YEAH, V. (LAUGHS) THANKS, DAD. (LAUGHTER) NO, IT WAS... YEAH. SO, ZAC, I'VE ACTUALLY GOT SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, SO CAN WE GO AND HAVE A CHAT? YEAH, SURE. YEAH? COOL. SURE THING. (WHOOPING) (WARM MUSIC) CAN YOU SEE VIARNI IN YOUR FUTURE? (MUSIC BUILDS, SWELLS) ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEP. YEAH, I SENSE THAT SHE'S FEELING A LITTLE BIT THE SAME, ACTUALLY,... (LAUGHS) ...WHICH IS SORT OF NICE. AND, I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT, OBVIOUSLY, OTHER WOMEN THAT ARE... (LAUGHS) ...PROBABLY EXCITING YOU AS WELL, SO... I GUESS MY CONCERNS ARE THAT... YEAH, IT IS DIFFICULT AT TIMES. I'VE TRIED TO BE AS HONEST AND AS UPFRONT AS I CAN WITH ALL THE GIRLS, AND` WELL, THAT'S IT, YOU KNOW? A LOT OF PEOPLE'S FEELINGS ARE ON THE LINE. YEAH. I JUST... I'M TAKING. THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. VIARNI'S MUM AND DAD, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TWO REALLY KEY PEOPLE IN HER LIFE, AND I THINK THEY'RE THE ONES WHO,... FIRST AND FOREMOST, I NEED TO LEAVE A GOOD IMPRESSION WITH. SO YOU'RE KEEN TO PROGRESS IT? YEAH, DEFINITELY. IF ZAC IS KEEN. YEAH. YEAH, I AM. WE'VE HAD TWO DATES JUST THE TWO OF US. THAT'S NOT A LOT OF TIME. IT'S NOT A LOT OF TIME, AND HE'S SHARING HIMSELF WITH OTHER PEOPLE,... I KNOW. I KNOW. ...WHICH IS... AND, LIKE` ...HARD ON HIM. HARD ON HIM?! IT'S HARD ON ME! (LAUGHS) IT'S PRETTY HARD BEING LIKE, 'OOH, IS ZAC THE ONE?' BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA KNOW THAT OR TRULY FEEL THAT UNTIL I KNOW THAT I'M THE ONE. BUT, YEAH, MY FEELINGS FOR HIM WOULD EXPLODE A LOT MORE IF I KNEW THAT I WAS THE ONLY GIRL HE WANTED, I KNOW STUFF, AND I KNOW ATTRIBUTES, AND I KNOW FACTS, AND, LIKE, WE GET ALONG, AND WE LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER, BUT THERE'S STILL SO MUCH STUFF THAT YOU COULD GET TO KNOW. YEAH. WHAT I SEE SO FAR IS PRETTY GOOD, SO I'M LIKE, 'WHY WOULD I NOT WANNA KEEP GOING WITH IT?' OF COURSE. AND IF IT DIDN'T KEEP GOING FOR YOU? UM,... I'D BE PRETTY GUTTED. I JUST WANNA KNOW NOW. (STIRRING MUSIC) I THINK IT COULD BE A START TO BEING ABLE TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN. UM, I'VE ONLY FELT IT ONCE, SO, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EASILY FOR ME, BUT HE MAKES ME LAUGH, AND HE MAKES ME FEEL CARED FOR, AND HE MAKES ME HAPPY, AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. (DOG BARKS) (LAUGHS) (GENTLE MUSIC) OOH! I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING INTERVIEWED. YOU'RE IN THE FIRING LINE. (LAUGHTER) OH MY GOD! SO... YOU LIKE HIM? I DO, YEAH. I'VE ENDED UP LIKING HIM MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD. DO YOU THINK, LIKE, IT'S QUITE, LIKE, A FALSE ENVIRONMENT AND, LIKE, YOU'VE GOT THE EYES ON THE PRIZE KIND OF THING? DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU GET BACK IN THE REAL WORLD, YOU MIGHT BE LIKE`? ...BE LIKE, 'NAH'? YEAH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS HEAPS. LIKE, 'ARE YOU GONNA BE MY BOYFRIEND IN REALITY?' LIKE, 'AM I STILL GONNA LIKE YOU?' BUT I'VE BEEN REALLY EXCITED TO GET BACK TO REALITY. AND, LIKE, TODAY IT WAS JUST A NORMAL THING IN THE MOUNT, AND I'M LIKE, 'I STILL REALLY LIKE YOU.' SHE IS VERY SMITTEN. REALLY HAPPY. I THINK WE'RE ALL A BIT SURPRISED. WE'RE SURPRISED AT HOW HAPPY SHE IS. YEAH. YEAH. BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK? LIKE, I` I DON'T HAVE A TYPE, AND, LIKE, HE'S NOT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, (GRUNTS) SHAGGY HAIR, SURFER GUY. THAT'S WHAT WE SAID. THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID BEFORE. WE SAID YOU DO HAVE A TYPE. YOU DON'T, BUT YOU DO. WELL... HE'S BIGGER THAN ALL THE OTHER GUYS. YEAH, HE IS. YEAH. HE'S A LOT MORE, LIKE` IT'S NICE, THOUGH, WHEN HE HUGS YOU. MM! I THINK IT'S JUST VERY HARD, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMPARING HIM TO PEOPLE I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, AND IT'S HARD FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF. I DUNNO. YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SEE IT, BUT WE KIND OF, LIKE, REAL SARCASTIC SENSE OF HUMOUR. WE` IT'S HARD TO SEE. (TENSE MUSIC) BUT I LIKE HIM, AND I'M SCARED. AW, V! SO YOU'LL BE SAD IF YOU'RE NOT... I'D BE SAD IF I DIDN'T GET TO GO MEET HIS FAMILY. ...THE GIRL? YEAH. HE'S REALLY CUTE, YOU GUYS. (ALL LAUGH) YOU REALLY LIKE HIM, EH? YOU'RE SMITTEN. (LAUGHS, GROANS) I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU LIKE THIS FOR AGES. NEITHER. (CHUCKLES, SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN. NO, NEITHER. LIKE, AS SOON AS I MET HIM, I WAS LIKE, 'OOH!' OH WOW. LITTLE BIT EXCITING. AND THEN I WAS LIKE, 'OOH, I HAVE A CRUSH.' AND NOW IT'S LIKE, 'OH SHIT.' (CHUCKLES) THEY DEFINITELY MADE ME THINK ABOUT WHY I LIKE HIM AND WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN GOING FORWARD, BUT I CAN'T JUST THINK OF WHAT THEY WANT. IT'S ABOUT WHAT I WANT TOO. HE'S A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN ON THE OUTSIDE, AND HE'S AWESOME ON THE INSIDE, AND I LIKE HIM FOR WHO HE IS, NOT WHAT HE IS, AT THE MOMENT. (BIRDCALL) I'VE BEEN SINGLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND I WAS WITH MY THEN-GIRLFRIEND FOR ABOUT THREE AND A HALF, FOUR YEARS. SO DID YOU EVER THINK YOU LOVED HER? ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. YEP. SO DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT THAT WITH V? UH, I FEEL LIKE... UH, I FEEL LIKE, UH, POTENTIALLY, YEAH. YEAH. POTENTIALLY? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. SO YOU KNOW THE FEELING? YEP. YEAH. SO WOULD SHE BE NUMBER ONE? (LAUGHS) UM... (LAUGHS) (TENSE MUSIC) UM, (EXHALES) WOULD SHE BE NUMBER ONE? OH (BLEEP). YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, ANSWER MY QUESTION. ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES OR NO? UM... (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) SO, DID YOU GRILL HIM, OR WHAT? I ASKED HIM PRETTY POINTED QUESTIONS, YEAH. (LAUGHS) AND OBVIOUSLY I KNOW THAT HE'S DATING EVERYONE ELSE. YEAH. I'M VERY AWARE OF THAT. AND YOU'RE ALL GOOD WITH THAT? WELL, IT'S NOT COOL. LIKE, OBVIOUSLY IF I MET HIM ON THE OUTSIDE... YEAH. ...AND IT WAS JUST ME AND HIM, IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. BUT I KNEW THAT HE'D BE DATING OTHER GIRLS COMING INTO THIS. SO, IS THERE A SPARK, V? YES, DAD, THERE IS,... A REAL SPARK? ...AND IT'S BLOODY ANNOYING, COS IT'S REAL,... YEAH? ...AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE. YEAH? YOU KNOW? COS EVERYBODY'S GOT THESE PRECONCEIVED IDEAS ABOUT... YEAH. ...VIARNI'S TYPE. I KNOW. I DON'T THINK I HAVE A TYPE. PEOPLE MIGHT THINK I HAVE A TYPE, BUT I DON'T. I DUNNO. IT'S JUST IRRITATING ME. I'M JUST GONNA WALK AWAY REAL QUICK. (RUBS HANDS) (VIARNI GROANS) (POIGNANT MUSIC) ALL GOOD? YEAH. IT'S JUST VERY OVERWHELMING. GIMME A HUG. YOU DO WHAT YOU DO. YEAH, I KNOW. YOU KNOW, THE THING IS IS YOU'RE SMART, YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, EH. AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE, AS LONG AS YOU JUST GO WITH YOUR FEELINGS, THEN YOU'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON, REALLY. MM. YEAH. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE... WELL, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE` WELL, OF COURSE I WANT MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO` IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU` YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU CARE OR NOT, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU STILL HAVE TO BE STRONG AND JUST DO WHAT YOU THINK'S RIGHT, REALLY. MM. YEAH. OK. HEY, YOU'RE ALL GOOD. THANKS, DAD. (POIGNANT MUSIC) IT'LL BE` IT'LL BE UP SOON, OK? (SNIFFLES) (LAUGHTER, SNIFFLING) DON'T GO! DON'T GO. (CHUCKLING) I'LL BE` I'LL SEE YOU SOON, OK? (LAUGHTER) I LOVE YOU. ALL: LOVE YOU. I WAS INCREDIBLE TO GET TO SPEND TIME WITH HER FAMILY, AND I GUESS, YEAH, GETTING PUT THROUGH MY PACES WITH SOME PRETTY TOUGH AND PRETTY HONEST QUESTIONS, UM, WAS QUITE TRYING AND QUITE TESTING, BUT, YOU KNOW, I LEARNT A LOT ABOUT VIARNI, AND SHE'S AN INCREDIBLE GIRL. BYE, BROTHER. I'LL SEE YOU SOON. AW, LOOK AT YOU. I KNOW. I CAN'T` MAKE ME CRY. (SOMBRE MUSIC) SEE YOU. DON'T CRY. SEE YA. LOVE YOU ALL. ALL: LOVE YOU. MAN: YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. (SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES) WHAT MY FAMILY HAS SAID HAS JUST BROUGHT THINGS INTO REALITY AGAIN, BUT I'VE BEEN REALITY-CHECKING MYSELF THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE THING, AND I DON'T THINK IT BLURS MY JUDGEMENT OR WHAT I FEEL FOR ZAC, BECAUSE I CAN'T JUST THINK OF WHAT THEY WANT. IT'S ABOUT WHAT I WANT TOO. HOW DO YOU THINK IT WENT? LIKE, DO YOU`? I DUNNO. I THINK IT WENT` I MEAN, I THINK IT WENT OK. I THINK IT WENT OK. YEAH, IT'S REAL` IT'S SO HARD FOR THEM TO KNOW... I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, TO KNOW YOU AFTER THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. YEAH. BUT... I MEAN` ...ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS, I FEEL LIKE YOU MADE A REALLY GOOD ONE. (CHUCKLES) I HOPE SO. SO MAYBE THEY'LL GIVE YOU A ROSE. I DON'T KNOW. (BOTH CHUCKLE) IT WAS JUST REALLY COOL JUST TO SEE VIARNI JUST BEING HER, AND SHE'S JUST BEEN HER ALL ALONG. NOW, I LIKE YOU, AND I KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU. MM. YEAH, LIKE, TODAY HASN'T, LIKE, CHANGED ANYTHING, SO... IT WAS NICE TO BE KIND OF NORMAL. YEAH. IT WAS. IT WAS REALLY GOOD, HEY? YEAH. YEAH. I DON'T WANNA SAY GOODBYE. (POIGNANT MUSIC) I FEEL A PAIN IN MY STOMACH, AND I FEEL A PAIN IN MY HEART. JUST THE THOUGHT OF HURTING VIARNI... I MEAN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING I WANNA DO, AND I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. BUT IN SAYING THAT... (SOMBRE MUSIC) I'LL SEE YOU SOON? (MUSIC CONTINUES) I MEAN, YEAH, IN SAYING THAT, THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS WHAT IT IS, AND... I JUST HOPE AT THE VERY LEAST, IF IT DID COME TO THAT, THAT SHE WOULD'VE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT HERSELF (VOICE BREAKS) AS A PERSON. (SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES) (EXHALES HEAVILY) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) SUNDAY AT 7PM ` (SEAGULLS CAW) LILY: CUT MY THROAT OR TAKE ME HOME. STOP WASTING MY TIME. IT'S THE FINAL... WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING. ...FANTASY DATES.... CLAUDIA: OH MY GOSH! ...FOR THE THREE GIRLS. IT'S NOT FAIR FOR ME TO HOLD THINGS BACK. WITH A NIGHT TOGETHER... IT'S BASICALLY OUR LAST DATE. IT'S GONNA HURT WHATEVER WAY IT GOES DOWN. ...ON OFFER... THERE'S STILL SO MUCH OF THIS NIGHT TO GO, BUT I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A PRETTY MEMORABLE ONE. ...BEFORE ZAC MUST SELECT HIS FINAL TWO. IT'S NOT OK. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, AND I DON'T FEEL OK. AND HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT. AT LEAST ONE HEART... (SOBBING) ...WILL BE BROKEN. I'M JUST SO, SO SORRY.
