‘The Bachelor, Australia’: Tim Charms Four Set of Parents; Says Goodbye to Danielle
On Wednesday night, it was time to meet the family in "The Bachelor, Australia," which put the girls in control. At the beginning of the episode, Tim said that out of the 25 women, he connected most with Anna, Alison, Danielle and Rochelle. Now, the Australian bachelor can see himself falling in love with one of the four girls, which makes it "crucial" that he got along with the parents.
Tim vs. Anna's Parents in Goulburn: Anna had never brought a guy home to her family. She said that to bring Tim home was a "huge deal." Anna showed him her primary school and talked about her growing-up years. At her home, Anna's two sisters gave her a surprise by being present for the occasion. Anna had thought that her sisters would not be able to make it since they were in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong. The sisters warned Tim about their father. Anna's father is a lawyer and a tough session of cross-examination was waiting for Tim. He was able to impress Anna's mom.
"If he breaks my daughter's heart, I'll find him and break something of his," Anna's father said to the camera prior to beginning his grilling session. Anna's father asked Tim about his past as a stripper and if there was any truth in that. Tim said "No." Anna's father also asked him about his background related to his past girl-friends. Tim told him he hasn't found the one, someone with substance and someone with same values.
Anna's father found the concept of "The Bachelor" unusual and felt that girls were held captive by the captor. He talked about Stockholm Syndrome to describe the situation on the show. Anna had told her father that she really liked Tim, while Tim said to her father that there are many qualities of Anna that he would like to see in his ideal partner. At the end of the session, Anna's father was impressed, as well though he had the last word when he said to Tim that he knew where he lived and he would find him. Anna's father thought that Tim had helped his daughter come out of her shell.
Tim vs. Rochelle's Parents in Perth: Tim said that he finds Rochelle intriguing and fascinating. Rochelle took him to a game of mini-golf and let him win. Rochelle's father is a police officer. Tim was a little nervous and apprehensive about meeting her parents. Rochelle's mother thought Tim is quite a dish and she liked him. After the dinner, Tim noticed that Rochelle became a little bit quite. It happened when Tim started talking about making the right decision, time is of essence, and how Rochelle became more open after their one to one date. Rochelle's mom thought that her daughter is falling for Tim, while Rochelle said to her mother that her heart wants that but she wants to protect herself, too. At the end of the day, Tim said that Rochelle is "definitely" someone he could see falling for.
Tim vs. Danielle's Mom in Gold Coast: Danielle said that she had never thought that she would have to introduce her family to Tim. She didn't think it would work for her and thus she did not tell her mother about Tim. The sudden surprise was nerve-wrecking for Danielle's mother as it wasn't a conventional situation. It was a little awkward when Danielle introduced Tim to her family. However, Danielle's mother was able to bond with Tim over herbs and he received her approval. Tim does not think that his relationship with Danielle is going any deeper than the initial spark.
Tim vs. Alison's Parents in Adelaide Hills: Alison was feeling over the moon, thinking about Tim's coming to her hometown. She wanted to show Tim what has made her the person that she has become. Alison said to Tim that she had never received her parents' approval on any of her boyfriend, which made the man nervous. Alison's father said to Tim that they want their daughter to meet the right man, with whom she can spend the rest of her life and be happy. Her mother said that they are protective of their daughter like any good parent would be.
Alison's father wanted to know from Tim what happened to her daughter's leg. Tim told him about the accident and praised Alison's attitude in the emergency room. Alison's parents hoped that it really works for her as they saw that she really wants it to work. Alison said to Tim that she is falling in love with him and that she had never felt that way before. However, Tim did not respond to that because he cannot fall in love with one girl when there are three more girls in the fray.
Rose Ceremony: Alison is the first one to receive the red rose, followed by Anna. Rochelle receives the final rose. Danielle is out of the competition.
