Last night, Kiwi viewers got their first look at the beautiful Bachelorettes vying for Jordan Mauger’s heart on season two of The Bachelor New Zealand.
With only 20 roses to give out and 23 hopefuls looking for love, Jordan had a tough decision to make during the debut episode, and we said goodbye to Freya, Harmony and Emily Rose.
The 20 remaining women have all captured Jordan’s attention in one way or the other, but only time will tell who makes it all the way to the end to claim that final rose!
