I hope you’ve placed your bets wisely because we are getting down to the final frontrunners.

Today’s group date is all about getting to know Badgy better – because we haven’t heard enough about him yet!

Oshie gets to fulfill his career goal to be a game show/trivia host – it’s an intellectual step up from “rose counter” or whatever his current title is.

The challenge is the girls Segway-ing and learning random facts about Badge – perhaps this is an insight into their future should they win.

On the plus side, Sophie learned the word “Segway”, so everyone who calls this show mind-numbing or brainless, take that. It’s teaching people things.

We also learn that Nick sucks at segways. As Brit eloquently put it, he was “like a ninja turtle without the ninja.”

This challenge sees casualty #2 of the series – why are they trying to make this like Survivor?

The promos made it look like there was a near-death experience, but tough-cookie Brit barely had a scrape after toppling off the (what’s that word now, Soph?) Segway.

Now guess who wins the after-date-extension time? BROOKE. I have nothing to say.

Brooke is confused as to why the others seem down. Shouldn’t they be happy she’s making their collective boyfriend happy?

Shannon is shattered. If they decide to continue this polygamy post-filming, I propose a clear rotating roster should be established.

Brooke and Badgy are loved up – AKA boring. I almost wish Romy would appear and start biting his ear again or something. But no, Brooke just kisses him on the mouth – how conventional.

Now for the single date with Emily! They take a lesson with dancers from the Australian Ballet – the male dancer who shows Badgy how to wear a jockstrap is wishing he’d trained harder in dance school so he didn’t get stuck with these low-end gigs.

On the plus side – this is the first time they’ve brought someone to a date who isn’t an extra. Unless the extras happen to be great at ballet. Still missing lie-detector Steve.

Emily and Badgy do a little dance – as the show is now evolving into Dancing with the Stars. Except the only star here is the jockstrap tutorial man.

On the designated D&M couch – a running theme has occurred. Much like with Russian Gymnast and Moonboot Chick, if there’s no activity being run, all we hear is crickets and Badgy saying “yeah” or “cool story, bro”.

Back at the mansion, the girls are salty about Brooke having had extra time earlier. Why be salty at her? It’s the man you’re all worshipping who is making these decisions.

At the cocktail party, the girls compete for who gets the final single date (if it’s Brooke, casualty #3 will occur). The forgotten blondes battle it out Hunger Games style.

Not Russian Gymnast though. She doesn’t like to make the first move. She should really enquire about the position for next year’s Bachelorette instead.

However, Segway Soph has made the first move and plays lovey-dovey Pictionary with Bach, winning the date.

Since Soph and Shannon are basically interchangeable, he sends the latter home.

We’ve reached the point in the season where he takes the dumped girl outside for a personal rejection – you know, in case it didn’t hit home in a group setting.

This one was actually a bit sad. It gets emotional once you know all their names. Bye, Shazza!
