The latest episode of The Golden Bachelor Australia 2025 delivered a whirlwind of emotions and unexpected departures as seven women left the mansion. The drama unfolded during the fifth rose ceremony when Terri declined Bear’s rose, leaving both the bachelor and her fellow contestants in shock. “I don’t want to get hurt,” she explained, before making her exit.
Host Samantha Armytage confirmed that Terri’s decision left an extra rose up for grabs, resulting in Bianca, Elizete, Pip, and Shamse also being sent home. The departures were marked by emotional farewells, with Bianca lightening the mood by quipping, “I get to take the Spanx off now.”
Group Date Brings Relaxation Amidst Tension
The morning after the rose ceremony, the atmosphere in the mansion was somber. To lift spirits, Bear organized a pamper day complete with skincare treatments and massages. The women, still reeling from the previous night’s events, welcomed the opportunity to unwind. Sunny’s enthusiastic response to Bear’s massage skills added a touch of humor to the day.
In a playful twist, the women treated Bear to a leg waxing session, which he soon regretted agreeing to. Despite the lighthearted activities, the tension of the competition lingered in the background.
Intimate Connection on a Single Date
Bear and Kim’s relationship took center stage during their single date. Despite an initial hiccup—Kim’s aversion to cooking—the couple bonded over Bear’s mother’s handwritten recipe book. The date allowed them to explore their connection beyond shared traumas, with Kim candidly expressing her desire for companionship.
“It means you want to make mad, passionate love with them in front of Netflix,” Kim explained to a bemused Bear, referring to the popular phrase “Netflix and chill.” The date ended on a high note with Bear presenting Kim a rose, solidifying their connection.
Emotional Movie Night
After Kim’s return, Bear surprised the women with a movie night featuring heartfelt messages from their friends and families. The videos evoked tears and laughter, offering a glimpse into the contestants’ lives beyond the show. For Sunny, the messages from her daughters were particularly poignant, encouraging her to let go of past guilt.
Bear also shared his own story, detailing his journey from losing his wife to raising his sons alone. The emotional revelation brought the women closer to Bear, deepening their understanding of the man behind the roses.

The episode concluded with another rose ceremony, where Janette, Gera, and Jan received roses, while Lauren and Catherine bid farewell. With only five women remaining, the competition intensifies as they prepare for the next round of dates, including a cruise and a cocktail party showdown.
