The Bachelor (NZ)

Arthur, New Zealand's first Bachelor, embarks on a quest to find true love with the perfect lady. Will any initial sparks fly as he meets the 21 women vying for his hand in marriage?

Love really is in the air as one bachelorette flies high on the very first single date, leaving the rest of the girls grounded. And in an action-packed group date, true colours begin to emerge.

A date at the Harbour Bridge gives a whole new meaning to taking a 'leap of faith', while the group date has some going round in circles. And a heated cocktail party is followed by a shock exit.

The girls get down and dirty to try and grab the Bachelor's attention. And Arthur pulls out all the stops on a romantic single date. As the pressure builds, could another bachelorette reject his rose?

Having whittled the bachelorettes down from 21 to 13, could a kiss finally be on the cards for Art? An intimate picnic could help... Unfortunately an archery group date doesn't hit the mark for some.

Art pulls out all the stops on a rooftop single date. And the group date pushes the girls out of their comfort zones as they take to the catwalk. Could one girl's choice of clothing threaten her rose?

A romantic single date at a winery takes a surprising turn. On the group date, the women get competitive during a game of trampoline dodgeball, before a twist makes for an emotional elimination.

Art seeks a stronger connection as he sets sail on a superyacht for his single date. Later, tensions run high at a supercharged cocktail party where nine bachelorettes become eight.

Arthur plans a change of scene for the women, hoping that love will flourish in the countryside. But when one of them takes a tumble, it's not just her safety on The Bachelor that's in jeopardy.

While one bachelorette wonders if she'll ever get time to shine, another falls further for Art's charms. And a shock decision at the cocktail party leaves the mansion feeling emptier than anticipated.

Art whisks a bachelorette off to White Island. How will he react to her potentially deal-breaking secret? And there's panic at the cocktail party when someone makes a bold move in front of the others.

With only five women remaining and the end in sight, tensions are high in the mansion. A double date proves dramatic, before a shock rose ceremony sends a favourite packing.

With only four bachelorettes remaining, it's Arthur's turn in the hot seat. With family interrogations and sceptical friends, can Arthur prove himself to the girls' nearest and dearest?

Arthur faces the ultimate test when he meets the last two families on their home turf. Then, in an emotionally charged rose ceremony, one bachelorette will face Arthur for the last time.

Only three bachelorettes remain so Arthur surprises the girls with overnight dates. But when one bachelorette makes a startling decision, Arthur may have to make his toughest choice yet.

Arthur's search for love has led him to the final two bachelorettes, and it's time for his final decision. He introduces them to his family where one girl makes a case against her love rival.

In this reunion special, the bachelorettes talk candidly about life in the mansion. Arthur then faces the women he sent home, before making his first appearance with the one who stole his heart.
