Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

@Bobette that is definitely worrying  I hope she is okay. She didn't seem keen on any of them while filming and probably wishes she was on BIP AU instead! (Timm hello! OMG the sunflowers she posted recently?!).

@Karina  the fact that such young men were cast was the first thing we thought leaned towards Lily. But again, we sleuthed she was liking Timm's pics while filming was ongoing so I don't think any of the cast caught her fancy on bette NZ.

TPTB did them all dirty and just when I was saying such good things! (I should have known it's too good to be true)

I like your interpretation of things, @Jordan44.  Lily the wing woman!  That I could get behind.

Ahhh good interpretation.It may also be a a way to ensure the rating targets are met as Lily will appeal to a different audience. Very strategic move.

Lesina already has Art doing that with her so that seems redundant? And the whole premise has been that Lesina knows her own mind, knows exactly what she wants. No need for her as an established 32 yo woman and doctor to have input from 22 yr old who says herself she isn't keen on settling down whereas Lesina has said she wants to.

The whole thing is bizarre and not believable at all.

That was my first thought too - he's the only one I could see as remotely attractive to her and it would explain the rose on his jacket in the Argentina reveal. Is that why Lesina gave her rose to Quinn as well? To set up a competitive vibe for the same guy?

I need to go and look at the cast list again with Lily in mind. Logan has the travel thing going for him but he's too vanilla IMO. George? Quirky but no edge. The MoTs are mostly nice, regular guys, but Lily doesn't do nice or plain or normal - she's unique.

I don't like this please make it stop!

I’m still confused, so until I hear it from their mouth...I don’t know, it’s such a BAD twist or turn. For all of them. It discredit the franchise and their attempt at being genuine. In the meantime, it makes me understand why there are so little footage of later in the season. Without showing a Lily somehow.
When is this next episode? Next Sunday?

we both know that Lily was making it very clear who her FIR was and would be. T I M M.

Quinn is the only one I see that with too. And yes maybe competitive but also it makes Quinn look bad if so since he was going on and on in tonight's episode about liking Lesina and wanting to have a date with her etc etc. So switching to Lily won't look good for him either and to be sure Lily will know about that and probably already has.

Or then what if .... drum roll please.... Lesina said to Kurt that if she could have TWO FIR she would have given it to Kurt. So Quinn being FIR was actually for Lily and who Lily would pick and that's why she said she has a date planned for him (not with him, for him).

O M G.

Now I am rethinking that whole convo she had with Kurt about TWO FIR. It was foreshadowing. Has to be. Of two bettes.

yes make it stop please

For now I'm going with @Jordan44 's interpretation.  She's Lesina's wing woman - only there to hold the roses and the FRC, fix Lesina's lippy and help her deliberate.  

She'll attend the cocktail parties, chat to the guys and see what they're thinking. She'll tell Kurt which baked goods Lesina likes best and tell Aaron to hold out for the Bach gig.

She won't go on any dates and will leave single, after which she'll hook up with Timm and have mad crazy love-filled adventures for my vicarious viewing pleasure.

That's what's happening and I won't tolerate any other scenario.  

@AllAboutLove And didn't she say a similar thing with George and Steve at the mud challenge?

Ohhh now that's an interesting idea. Are they going to have BTS footage of Lily watching the arrivals on CCTV in a white van parked down the road on night 1 and saying Quinn is her favourite? But poor old Quinn thinks Lesina likes him! I DO NOT LIKE THIS.

I am tired. I just wanted a sweet, nice typical love story. Too much to ask, of course. But yes, it explains why I was wondering why there was so little season preview and most of it seemed early on. Yes, next episode is Sunday 7pm NZ time

Jordan44 wrote:@AllAboutLove And didn't she say a similar thing with George and Steve at the mud challenge?

ooo I think so!! And George has another rose in the other SC for the RC (per Lily?)

@Bobette that sounds like a good idea and scenario to me I just don't see why Lily would need to be there for the entire duration of filming? But sure, a wing-woman that's not needed and hopefully no drama there, is far better scenario. So going with that for now

Also, Quinn follows Lily on IG! She doesn't follow him back. But yes, I could see Lesina picking for Quinn for Lily!
