Shannon went home, she is such a sweetheart – I am upset.
UGH.
For the full recap, aggressively click on the below.
Anyway, in date one, there were a lot of segways and I couldn’t concentrate because yet again, the Honey Badger requested another ‘date’ to tick off the ol’ bucket list.
This episode of #TheBachelorAU I am watching at a pub is mostly this, but with very intense music: pic.twitter.com/k5RgkSQ3dE

There’s nothing much to report here – Britt falls on her face but is okay and Brooke cops some more one-on-one time which is such a bloody surprise.
In date two, Nick somehow stuffs his ginormous body into some ballet gear for an arvo with Emily. The date actually goes heaps well but the one-on-one time with the cheese, wine, and nice views was well… d e d.
In short:

Yeah, so Emily did not receive a rose on her single date.
In a ~ twist ~, Osher strides into the Cocktail Party with a nameless date card. Hometown dates are around the corner and there’s only one single date left. Whoever woos Nick’s heart at the cocktail party gets the last date.
The gal’s bring out the best: Shannon has a deep and meaningful chat with the Badger, Cass has a good chat, and Sophie whips out a whiteboard and starts drawing butterflies and love hearts to represent her affection for the Badger. Surprise surprise, the whiteboard works and Sophie scores the final date card.
Shannon is upset, to say the least. She begins to cry because she does like the Badger and it’s frustrating to see him hand the last date card to another woman.
Fair enough.
Shaz is just holding it together at the Rose Ceremony and it doesn’t help when Sophie’s name is called out first, then Britt, Cass, and Emily.
It’s down to Dasha and Shaz.
And Shaz goes home.
Heartbreak.
“I was hanging onto shit man. You should have given us one more day, we would’ve made a great couple.”
It’s awkward but also SO SAD because Shaz is such a beautiful soul.
And then she says, “I’m obviously not the one but I can assure you a girl in there is going to fulfil your every little nook and cranny that you need.”
Legend.
A teary goodbye to our beloved Shannon ❤️️ #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/2PW8IO1EIW

Dasha is absolutely crushed, sitting on the ground, rose forgotten.

Shannon is every drunk girl at a club who’s been flirting with a guy all night and turns around to see him making out with another chick #TheBachelorAU

Shannon was drunk but she was talking from her heart. I admire her for that. She said how she felt and her heart was broken. I thought Nick and her would have been good too. But he’s really just making weird decisions. #TheBachelorAU

If there’s one thing I relate to on this program more than anything else, it’s girls getting blind drunk and breaking down in tears #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/zHPKhyIhdt

Poor drunk Shannon reminds me a little of….Well, me in my early 20s unfortunately 😳 #TheBachelorAU

For the first time, I think the Badger let himself down. How could he give a rose to people where their connection was questionable *Dasha/Emily* & not give Shannon the time of day. My heart went out to her, that sucks. But she’s beautiful & deserves a good 🐓haha #TheBachelorAU

Hands up who has been in Shannon’s position where if a guy/girl would only just take the time to get to know you and see your potential as a partner. This one was hard to watch 😩 #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/qu9w9BbBfn

I like Shannon but does she not realize she signed up for a show with 24 other girls and that she isn’t going to get the attention she wants when she wants it. #thebachelorau

Love how all the girls have had these amazing and personal dates and Jamie Lee or whatever her name was got to watch Nick play with samurai swords #TheBachelorAU

They need a whiteboard just to explain what the hell Nick is saying half the time. #thebachelorAU
