Finally, it’s time! The episode in which there is kissing and Thomas bursts into tears not much later. But first Ascha, Maureen and Demi can go with The Bachelor kitesurfing† The favorite sport of the adventurous Thomas. But all nice and nice to see him shine on the water, there will also fall that same day movie night to obtain a ticket. And we all know what that means. After all, the end of a movie is never reached during a good date…
White sports socks
While the three ladies take turns climbing on Thomas’s back and gulping down liters of seawater, speculation is raging in the villa who will be allowed on that romantic movie date. Whether these speculation conversations are scripted or not, it will of course soon be about a possible kiss and Thomas’ beautiful thin lips.
Isabella is meanwhile promoting her hat collection, this girl walks around all day with a felt hat in the blazing sun. But they all look equally beautiful on her, that’s for sure. Bond girl Merel is the lucky one who is picked up for the infamous movie night and is allowed in Thomas’s house for the first time. mansion make her entrance. The first romantic one-on-one date! In other words: candles and a bottle of wine on the table. But what attracts them?! Gray sweatpants with white sports socks. Then again I don’t understand. You can also watch a movie in jeans, right? Even Thomas is wearing his cutest shirt at home.
Kissing, kissing, kissing
Merel was probably more concerned with a possible kiss than with her outfit. The other girls in the villa kept shouting ‘kiss, kisses, kisses’. Well, sweatpants or not. In any case, it worked out well. Because, sure enough; kissed! It was a modest kiss, probably because of the awkward situation with a rotating camera less than a meter away. And I only think: keep going Merel! This is your chance! Once at home, the rest of the women only go to bed after they have questioned this dental hygienist. Merel is even allowed to make an entire reconstruction. She emphasizes that it was a small kiss, or kissing without a tongue. But that tongue definitely came into the picture…
During the group date the next day, the women can literally put their best foot forward during a traditional dance. The one with the smoothest hips wins the wild rose, aka hijacking a date from someone else. Well, that’s exactly what you don’t want in a group of eleven women. I wonder what Thomas bases his choice on, because the hips are hard to find in those colorful soup dresses. And suddenly I can’t keep all the girls apart! Anna Noelle – the one without a date – is finally assured of a date and wins the rose!
teen game
Not much later, the flower curtains are exchanged for – yes, here we are again! – short tight outfits at the infamous cocktail party. But what happens now?! Everyone stays put. It’s like a circle birthday. Only the skewers with cheese and pickles are still missing. There isn’t even anyone in a corner doubting whether she has something between her teeth. And in the absence of topics to talk about, a teen game is even played. I suddenly miss Romy. Yes really; that “Miss-can we talk about me for a second”-Romy. Who would have thought that?
Until Maureen continues the tradition and does not dare to approach Thomas. No idea why, because this girl stands out with her red dress and blond long hair. But then I have to stop the episode and rewind. No, not to take another good look at her dress. But does she tell you that during her adventurous backpacking trip in Australia she was a stepmother of two children on her 19th?! Thomas was probably referring to a slightly different adventure.
In tears
Still, this crazy anecdote doesn’t give her any negatives, at least she still gets a rose during the rose ceremony. The Bachelor has nine roses in front of him, so two girls are going home. Fortunately, young Indigo doesn’t, reacting as if she’s already packed her bags. It is Linde and Demi whom Thomas – with pain in his heart and in tears – is going to say goodbye. Hurting someone’s feelings clearly doesn’t bother him. Once again, The Bachelor does not disappoint this season. No bullseye, but again ten points for Thomas.
