Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 2 - Lexie Brown - Episodes - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

Since it's down to one last episode on Monday, what do we think? Is it Todd or Hamish for F1? OR is Lexie going to pull a Lessina and end up with no one?

BTW, is it an uspoken rule to have NZ Bachelorette to have 'L' in the first alphabet of their names - Lessina, Lily, Lexie?

Haha must be the L! I think it’s defo Hamish - he’s getting quite the red flag edit though. I think she protected Paul sending him home from further hurt where she knew Todd would be easier to let down inthe final. I mean she got Paul’s pirate ring !

I caved and got the NordVPN so I could watch the episodes since we have no idea when the Bachelor archives will have the new episodes up. (It is still working since I am rewatching Sean's season now.)

I don't know if it because producers are different or NZ men are just different from the US guys or none of them are that into Lexie, but one thing I find really odd is that they seem to be sitting back and not initiating too much interaction with her. It seems strange to me and I am halfway through the 4th episode, but very few of them pull her aside to chat and they seem to have this very laissez faire attitude about spending time with her. Bizarre.

Guys in NZ would rather hang out with each other and crack jokes bromance styles.

Since the beginning of the season Lexie has said she wants to end up with a Kiwi - Hamish

Lexie let Dave and Jack go because of their age. I think she'll do the same thing to Todd since he's 26

Hamish's mom said they both have the same energy, like to travel, have fun and want a family

My F1 pick is Hamish

I've been binge watching to catch up and some things that have struck me:

- I think Lexie has been a really good lead. She is fun, adventurous, sporty, open and kind. She truly seems to like all of her final 4.

- I have liked all of her men. Her final 4 all seem to be good guys and have feelings for her.

- New Zealand is absolutely stunning and is now on my bucket list.

- I have never laughed so much watching a Bachelor/ette show. I am shocked. This is so much more enjoyable than the US version.

- As fun and light hearted as it has been, it is also lovely to see the relationships not only between Lexie and her men, the relationships between the guys and the relationships the men have with their families. Again, all so very enjoyable. The US producers should take notes.

- F1 = Hamish. He seems a better all round pick and their lifestyles just line up. Can't wait to see the final.

- I would love to see these guys on BIP. They are lovely and many seem ready for a relationship. It would be nice to see them find their happily ever after too. Paul in particular seems ready. My heart breaks a little for him.

I have really enjoyed this season and I hope the Bachelor is as good. Can't wait.

Check Hamish's thread here - we sleuthed him as being F1 back in January, before the premiere.    

Haven't been able to watch any eps since the archive went down but I could see them lasting.

Hi all, another Canadian here who is a fan of the kiwi and Aussie versions of this show. When Bachelor Archive went out, I found this tv station link where you can find lots of shows from that part of the world:
shvideos.net ...
All current NZ bachelorette episodes are there.
I too have been laughing at this season. So much more enjoyable than the nasty current American season.

I agree wholehearted 100% on the bold sentence (and I am American!!).

I am finding the international version a lot more enjoyable to Include ETTE NZ & also following Ette SA season too.

Cheers to Lexi on her finale and hope she found love and is still with her F1

Thanks for the info on where to watch the episodes.

and thanks so much for the info!

That works for me!

@JustafanofLove Thank you. It has some other of my favourites...The Block and Googlebox!

I’m here! Missed the first 15 minutes due to kids.

So far Lexie has decided against overnights. Todd has just left her for the knight and he is getting all emotional realising that he really likes her.
