The latest episode of The Golden Bachelor Australia 2025 delivered a whirlwind of emotions as seven women departed the mansion, leaving viewers and contestants alike in shock. The episode, which aired on Channel 9 and is available for streaming on 9Now, featured a dramatic rose ceremony, a heartfelt single date, and an emotional movie night that had everyone in tears.
The episode picked up from last week’s cliffhanger, where Terri made the unexpected decision to decline Bear’s rose during the fifth rose ceremony. Her emotional exit set the tone for the evening, as she told Bear, “I don’t want to get hurt,” before leaving the room. This left Bear and the remaining contestants stunned, as host Samantha Armytage confirmed that Terri’s rose would still be in play, resulting in an additional four women being sent home.
Rose Ceremony Drama
The tension was palpable as Bear continued the ceremony, ultimately sending Bianca, Elizete, Pip, and Shamse home. The departures were marked by tears, hugs, and a touch of humor, with Bianca quipping, “I get to take the Spanx off now,” as she left the mansion.
As the dust settled, the mood in the mansion was somber. The absence of their friends was deeply felt, and the atmosphere was noticeably quieter without the usual Samba dancing. Bear, feeling the weight of the recent events, organized a pamper day for the remaining contestants, complete with relaxation, skin care, and massages.
Single Date Sparks
Amidst the emotional turmoil, Bear planned a special single date with Kim, a contestant with whom he had an immediate connection on the first night. Concerned that he had taken their bond for granted, Bear arranged a luxurious outing in a sports car, much to Kim’s delight. However, the date took an unexpected turn when they arrived at a restaurant kitchen, much to Kim’s dismay.
Despite her lack of culinary skills, Kim embraced the challenge, aided by Bear’s mother’s handwritten recipe book. The date allowed them to discuss deeper topics, including Kim’s desire for companionship and her newfound understanding of “Netflix and chill.” The date concluded with a romantic exchange, as Bear presented Kim with a rose and they shared a tender kiss.
Emotional Movie Night
Returning to the mansion, Kim’s “glow” and rose were soon overshadowed by Bear’s next surprise: a movie night featuring video messages from the contestants’ friends and families. The heartfelt messages brought tears and laughter, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of the women vying for Bear’s heart.
Sunny received a particularly poignant message from her daughters, encouraging her to release the guilt she felt for prioritizing work over family. Kim’s children and stepchildren expressed their desire for her to find happiness after the loss of two husbands. The evening culminated with Bear sharing his own story, detailing his journey from his wife’s illness to raising his sons alone, which deeply moved the contestants.
Final Rose Ceremony
The episode concluded with another rose ceremony, where two more women, Lauren and Catherine, bid farewell to the mansion. The remaining contestants, Kim, Janette, Gera, Jan, and Sunny, now face the next phase of the competition, with emotions running high as the stakes continue to rise.
As the season progresses, viewers can expect more dramatic twists and heartfelt moments. With only five women remaining, the journey to find love on The Golden Bachelor Australia promises to be an unforgettable ride.
The show continues on Sunday at 7 pm and Monday at 7:30 pm on Channel 9 and 9Now, where audiences can follow the contestants’ journeys and the unfolding drama in the quest for love.
