After a few wonderful weeks of reality TV fun, The Golden Bachelor is on the homestretch.
This season welcomed a new kind of Bachie, Barry 'Bear' Myrden, a 61-year-old widowed father, who became Australia's inaugural Golden Bachelor.
This week's episodes delivered some shocking twists and turns, as contestant Terri rejected Bear's rose at a ceremony, telling our confused Bachie she wasn't ready to get hurt.
Then came a mass elimination where seven women were cut in a single episode. Brutal.
This left five finalists vying for Bear's heart: Kim, Sunny, Janette, Gera and Jan.
Watch our interview with the contestants about their first impressions of Bear. Post continues after video.
Bear has built a strong bond with Sunny, who was gifted a pearl necklace on an oyster-shucking date. Jan, a transformation coach, was an early favourite, receiving the First Impression Rose. Bear opening up about his late wife was a story that resonated with Kim, who is twice-widowed.
But Bear has built deep connections with all five women, so the nation will eagerly await his final winner being chosen.
So how much time do we have? The Golden Bachelor will end in two weeks, which means we have three to four episodes left this season.
