'The Bachelor, Australia': Rochelle Beauty Pageant Past Exposed, Katherine Exit
"The Bachelor, Australia" episode 10 Update: In the beginning of this Wednesday's episode, the bachelor said that he is no longer making connections but has really strong feelings for all the five girls.
Tim realised that it is time to make the right decisions and he has been saying good bye to people he has strong feelings for. This week's single date, according to Osher, is more important than ever. The date card arrived for Katherine, 33, the child psychologist. The rest of the four girls, Alison, Anna, Rochelle, and Danielle, were not sure where the relationship between Tim and Katherine stands.
For the date, Tim took Katherine to an amusement park. The man wanted to create an "incredible" date that was "totally ... totally over the top" and wished that the relationship really blossoms. Also, he mentioned that the two feel as great about each other as they had felt when they last left off at his home.
Tim and Katherine had a good time at the amusement park. Katherine said that she is "on a journey to falling in love with him." Tim said that Katherine has a lot of qualities that he is looking for. But, he felt that there is a barrier between the two, which Katherine needs to take down. It looks like Katherine was unable to take down that barrier despite feeling a real connection with him. She returned from the date holding a stuffed elephant and a donkey, and no rose. The girls were extremely relieved that Katherine did not get a rose.
For the group date, Tim took Anna, Alison, Rochelle and Danielle to an art-gallery to get their interpretations on a few pieces of art. He wanted to see more of their personalities. Since it was probably the last group date, the girls felt that the stakes were high and their last chance to make an impression on Tim. The girls talked about the art-pieces without knowing what they were talking about, and Anna said that she felt dumb talking like that.
Osher arrived at the gallery to inform that there is a surprise waiting for them upstairs in the VIP gallery. Tim escorted Anna upstairs, first and she was shocked and embarrassed to see her "personal belongings." Alison looked excited and loved seeing the photos from her past, while Rochelle felt "incredibly emotional."
Also, Rochelle felt that there was a whole lot of history that Tim doesn't know about her, including her being Miss Congeniality winner at Miss Global International, 2011. Tim said that Rochelle had never mentioned about her pageant past. To Tim, it felt like she has a secret life, and he wondered what other surprised there might be. She didn't mention about the pageant side because she thought some guys might find the participation in pageants superficial. Tim said that he has no problem with girls participating in beauty pageants but it felt like she has kept a massive part of her life a secret.
Tim gave the red roses to Anna, Alison, Danielle and Rochelle, and sent home Katherine. Next Wednesday, he is going to visit the families of the four girls.
