The latest episode of The Golden Bachelor Australia 2025 delivered a rollercoaster of emotions as seven women exited the mansion, leaving both contestants and viewers in shock. The dramatic episode, which aired on Channel 9, featured an unexpected twist during the fifth rose ceremony, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.
In a surprising turn of events, contestant Terri declined a rose from Bear, the show’s bachelor, citing her fear of getting hurt. “I don’t want to get hurt,” she explained tearfully before leaving the room, leaving Bear and her fellow contestants stunned. Host Samantha Armytage confirmed that Terri’s rose would still be available, meaning four additional women would be sent home that night.
The Rose Ceremony Drama
The rose ceremony continued with heightened tension as Bianca, Elizete, Pip, and Shamse were left without roses. The departures were marked by emotional farewells, hugs, and a touch of humor from Bianca, who quipped, “I get to take the Spanx off now.”
The atmosphere in the mansion was notably somber the next morning, with the absence of their friends keenly felt. Bear, also affected by the recent events, organized a pamper day to lift spirits, complete with relaxation, skincare, and massages. The light-hearted moment turned amusing when Bear found himself regretting a leg wax, much to the ladies’ amusement.
Building Connections: Single Date and Group Date Insights
On the single date front, Bear sought to reconnect with Kim, who had expressed disappointment over their limited alone time. To make amends, Bear planned an extravagant date, complete with a luxury car ride. However, the destination—a restaurant kitchen—was less appealing to Kim, who admitted cooking was not her forte. Despite this, the couple bonded over Bear’s mother’s handwritten recipe book, sharing laughs and deepening their connection.
Kim candidly shared her desire for companionship, humorously explaining to Bear what “Netflix and chill” truly means. The date ended on a high note with a rose presentation and a kiss, leaving Kim “feeling all sorts of flutters and all sorts of tingly.”
Emotional Movie Night
Returning to the mansion, Bear surprised the women with a heartfelt movie night featuring video messages from their loved ones. The emotional evening allowed the contestants to share personal stories and brought tears to many eyes. Sunny, in particular, found solace in her daughters’ messages, encouraging her to release the guilt of prioritizing work over family.
Kim’s children and stepchildren expressed their support, acknowledging her strength after losing two husbands. The night culminated with Bear sharing his own poignant story, detailing his journey as a widower raising his sons alone. The gesture resonated deeply with the women, fostering a sense of closeness and understanding.
The Final Rose Ceremony: A Night of Farewells
As the episode drew to a close, two more women were sent home, narrowing the field to five. Kim, already holding a rose, watched as Janette, Gera, and Jan were called, leaving Lauren and Catherine to bid their farewells. The stakes are higher than ever as the remaining contestants prepare for the upcoming challenges, including a cruise, a dancing date, and a cocktail party showdown.
The episode’s emotional highs and lows underscore the intense journey of finding love on The Golden Bachelor Australia. With only a handful of contestants left, the competition promises to deliver even more drama and heartfelt moments in the episodes to come.
The Golden Bachelor continues to captivate audiences with its blend of romance, humor, and raw emotion. Viewers can catch the next episodes on Sunday at 7 pm and Monday at 7:30 pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
