The Bachelor recap episode 8: Richie falls harder for Olena...


The girls are all sitting down discussing last night's saga AKA the Megan walk-out.

"Welcome to the house of hell," Keira says to the intruders joking (but not really).

Cara Delevingne, sorry, Olena, is called out for a single date. Better luck next time, Noni.

Richie flies in on a private jet... but steps out in jeans and a T-shirt. You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy!

"To our relationship taking off," says Richie to Olena on the plane (first dad joke of the night - tick).

They land in Mudgee and head to a winery. Olena spots the food and makes a run for it. A girl after our own heart. We like her.

Back at the Bachie mansion, the blonde chipmunk (Sarah) reads out which bachelorettes are to go on the group date.

Alex, Steph, Rachael, Kiki, Sarah and Noni get called. This should be fun.

Meanwhile Richie and Olena walk through some flowers and Richie continues to bombard her with questions about her past relationships.

Taking a casual stroll through the fields.

She deflects the question by saying she hasn't had her heart broken before because she says it's "protected". Is that her way of saying she's never had a boyfriend? So, so confused.

Richie cuts to the chase: "Do you see a future with me?"

Olena says yes. Then they kiss. And then he gives her a rose. So predictable.

He's in deep...
He's in deep...

It's group date time!

Osher and Richie turn up on a boat and tell the girls they are going to Sydney Fish Markets.

They feign enthusiasm but you can tell they hate it.

The girls then compete against each other to cook seafood dishes for Richie, because it's the 1950s all over again and MAN NEEDS FOOD NOW. Sigh.

"I've never fondled a fish so much," said Sarah. Why do the cameramen even bother filming the other bachelorettes?

Richie goes around and tastes all the dishes. SO JEALOUS. THAT CRAB LOOKS AMAZING.

He ends up picking Rachael and Noni's dish. Bring on the triple date

Richie sits down with Noni and Rachael and you can feel the awkward through the TV.

The girls take stabs at each other and it feels like we're back in high school. Noni requests to eat the oysters because it's an 'aphrodisiac'.

She then tries an oyster but only succeeds in dry retching and spitting it out. Why did you ask for them in the first place? Maybe this is why she hasn't been chosen for a single date?

Back at the Bachie mansion, Keira is FINALLY picked for some one-on-one time with Richie.

Keira scores another single date.

He rocks up in a convertible and the girls wave the pair off.

Waving goodbye to the peasants.

"I want to get to know him alone, without these b*tches," Keira cackles. God she's terrifying.

Keira and Richie rock up to a yoga class.

Keira tries to outshine the yogi teacher and Richie looks very confused. And it looks like he prefers to yoga teacher to Keira.

"It was hard to find my inner peace," says Richie of their class.

Do you even yoga?

"The date's gone really well and we are attracted to each other. I'm going to get a rose tonight," says Keira. OK, now we know she's delusional.

They sit down so they can have a proper conversation and Keira assures him of how confident she is.

Richie questions if they're a good match: "I don't feel there's a future for us."

Surely couples who yoga together, stay together.

"It's good that you're honest about it," she says. Huh. She took that surprisingly well.

"I think we were both on the same page... I'm quite intuitive so I knew," said Keira. OK, she's definitely delusional.

"I was too good for this situation," she said in the limo ride home.

"If I was a guy, I wouldn't date half of these girls. They're nasty." At least she's not bitter.

Osher delivers the news to the girls that Keira won't be returning to the mansion and the girls are, well, pretty ecstatic.

"It would take a very strong man to take on someone like her," said Alex. LOL.

Richie takes Nikki up to the sex room and the girls lose their sh*z. Alex literally looks like she's going to vomit.

Not that Nikki or Richie care. They're too busy making out.

It's time for the rose ceremony and Osher rocks up to tell the girls that there WON'T be a rose ceremonial. Controversial.

Until next time...
