After a 10 minute montage of Jason’s thoughts on all the women, we finally got to see some good stuff. Jason met up with Jillian in New Zealand on a helicopter and they were pretty much in matching outfits which was kinda weird. They landed on a ledge overlooking a beautiful landscape and had a picnic. Jason described Jillian as fun, gorgeous, exciting, and adventurous. She said he was the first person she had been so attracted to, connected with and had such a strong friendship with all at once. Jason revealed to the camera that he needed more than a best friend, and he needed to feel a passionate, fiery romance about Jill.

Later on they visited a winery and Jillian shared that she was ok to be away from her family when she was with Jason, and that she gets butterflies. She told him that she never felt anyone was more right for her than Jason is… wow. Then she came out and asked for the invitation to the fantasy suite- bold girl, that Jillian. “I knew if we spent the night together, it would be a long night. And I needed him to be ready for that.” Grrrrrr, tigress!!! Hot tub time- lots of kissing and rubbing- watching it made me pretty uncomfortable. I think he found the fire.

Next up was Molly’s date and Jason was really excited. He brought her to the Kawarau Bridge for bungee jumping (in the city it was invented). Then they sat down for some food and Molly whipped out a list of questions that was like 10 miles long. They were riveting questions like his favorite food, ice cream, place in the world, holiday, car, body part, possession, etc.

Molly is the queen of the side ponytail action, and she worked it at dinner. Jason told the camera he needed to get some serious stuff out of Molly and how he felt he had to pull so much out of her already. Jason told her that he noticed that her mom and dad and sister and her husband sat apart from each other and that he and Molly were closer together than anyone. Molly said that she comes from a non mushy gushy family, but that she loves to kiss Jason and be with him and wishes she could be all the time. Molly began to cry and told him that she was falling in love with him. They both said that moment was a huge break through… then she brought out the question card and asked him to stay the night with her. Way to be proactive, lady!! Then they made out on the bed and got in a bubble bath together (in swimsuits).

Finally it was Melissa’s turn and Jason brought Melissa on Winston Churchill’s old boat. She told Jason that she was scared and reality was setting in that she could get dumped again, but that he was worth the risk. They got into their swimsuits and got into a “hot pool” overlooking some beautiful scenery. Melissa revealed that she hasn’t talked to her parents since they wouldn’t meet Jason, and how she wanted them to see how happy he makes her. Jason said that there was nothing her parents could do or say to make him feel differently about Melissa, but that he was still disappointed he hadn’t gotten to meet them and was worried he could fall in love only so far.

They went for a walk on the docks and then on to a beautiful private room. Melissa talked about her close relationship with her brother, and then divulged about her feelings of being scared. She asked him if it was a big deal that he didn’t get to meet her parents- he said he got to meet everyone else’s families, but he also got to see her real world and her friends- something he didn’t do with anyone else. Then came the fantasy suite invitation and off they went. Melissa told Jason she had never felt like this, and that she was head over heels in love with him. By his reaction, I totally cannot see him sending her home any time soon. These two have a crazy connection. He even said that any doubts her had about her were gone.

It was finally time for the rose ceremony, so Chris Harrison sat down Jason for the run-down. Then he got to see a personal video message from each girl. He started crying as he got ready to let one of them go, and then it was time. Chris revealed that the two chosen girls would stay in New Zealand to meet Ty and the rest of Jason’s family. Jason started talking and immediately got choked up. First to get a rose was Melissa…. Then, Molly got one.

Jillian was obviously upset as he walked her to her car. Despite all the mugging down in the hot tub, the Canadian got the boot. Jason revealed that their lives were just too different, and she adamently disagreed. He said that her marrying her best friend would be nice, but he just felt maybe all they would be was best friends. They talked about a dream she had about Ty and them being a family, and how she was completely in love with him. Jason cried a lot as she left and tried to compose himself before going back to Molly and Melissa.
