The Bachelor recap episode 12: Hamish Blake steals the show

There are just five girls left in the house after Kiki's not-so-shocking-exit last night.

And boy, some of the girls' crazy colours are starting to shine through.

Mostly Rachael's.

Osher rocks up with the date card and is met by squeals. Surely they'd be used to it by now?

Faith's name gets called out and Rachael looks beyond devastated.

Faith has a quick outfit change and meets Richie, who has a surprise waiting... in the form of Hamish Blake.

Best. Bachelor. Ever.

He drops in the fact that he'll be playing a toddler called 'Rory' to 'test' their relationship.

This is going to be so good.

Hamish promptly starts throwing tantrums, but we're kinda used to that behaviour by now from the Bachie house.

"Is mummy the only girl for daddy?" asks 'Rory'.

"Yes," said Richie, lying through his teeth.

Richie is clearly in over his head and looks panicked the entire time.

He's DEFINITELY not ready for fatherhood (sorry Alex).

The next part of the date is at a bowling alley.

"Give daddy's muscles a kiss," orders 'Rory', before demanding Faith takes him to the toilet.

We think Hamish should be on The Bachelor always.

They head back to the Bachie pad and put Hamish to bed (shame) before sitting down on the couch to make out. Boring.

Hang on a minute - she hasn't been given a rose. WHAT IS THIS?!

The girls crowd around to console her when Olena jumps out of the bushes with a SINGLE date card.

At long last Rachael's name gets called.

"You look beautiful... er, handsome," says Rachael. LOLOLOLOLOL.

Richie tells her he's here to excite each of her senses which sounds promising but not a whole lot happens, they just take selfies and sniff a load of perfumes. Yet for some reason Rachael finds everything he says hilarious. Yawn.

Richie pulls out a letter that's been written by her mum and starts reading it out loud. And out come the waterworks.

"You're really rare, you're like a diamond," said Rachael to Richie. Sounds like she doesn't get out much. Interestingly she doesn't get a rose either...

Meanwhile at the mansion, the other girls freak out over the fact there's just six girls left.

Rachael gets back to the cocktail party and rubs her date in the other girls faces by showing them the photos her and Richie took together.

"How bloody thoughtful," said Alex between clenched teeth. She tells the others she's going to bombard Richie by showing him a family photo album. Uh-oh.

Alex gets some one-one-one time with Richie and shows him the photos.

"He's beautiful," said Richie, while looking shellshocked.

"I need to be able to decide whether I'm ready for that."

HE'S CHOKING.

And it's time for the rose ceremony.

"Nobody here has a rose," says Osher. Sometimes we question whether his role on this show is REEEEALLY necessary.

Richie calls out Faith, Alex, Nikki, Olena and finally Rachel gets picked.

Game over Steph, soz babes.
