On the French Riviera, the 15 remaining girls are moving into the luxury villa that will serve as their base as they battle to win Spencer’s heart. After nine girls were sent home last week, the serious stuff starts here. The very first date gives the chosen girls an early chance to get up close and personal with the Bachelor. Spencer has arranged a photo shoot and set each girl the challenge of coming up with a theme based on a famous movie love scene.
Things get steamy almost immediately – one girl dresses up as a mermaid with only a pair of shells to cover her modesty. The air all but crackles with sexual tensionw hen another girl plays Juliet to Spencer’s Romeo. However, it is a third who ultimately steals the scene, winning not only Spencer’s rose but also the coveted first kiss with the Bachelor – not that she is letting on to the other girls, who remain blissfully unaware that their rival has stolen an early lead in the race for Spencer’s heart.
The following day, Spencer lays on a cruise for eight of the girls in a luxury catamaran with a beach party at their destination – but, unknown to him, it transpires he has tapped into one of the girl’s deepest fears. Sensing that something is wrong, Spencer takes the girl aside. In an emotional conversation, she confides in him the sad reason for her phobia; he responds by letting her in on a tragic incident from his own past. These shared confidences create a bond between them – but will she be the one to win the Bachelor’s rose, or can a rival gain the edge on her by excelling at the upcoming beach party games?
The Bachelor’s third date is a romantic and adrenalin-packed adventure. He whisks his chosen girl off on a helicopter ride to a luxury spa, taking in some stunning Mediterranean scenery on the way. On the massage table, love is in the air and things get intimate…but will the girl seal the date with a kiss, or choose to play a longer game by leaving Spencer high and dry? Finally, in the rose ceremony, two more girls hear the news they have been dreading, leaving 13 to stay and continue the fight for The Bachelor's heart.

The streaming quality is rubbish - c 1999 quality. This does not happen when watchin i-player or C4 - sort it out Channel 5!!!!

C5 is a joke!
What happens to the people who only have a laptop and no TV so cant even watch the repeat on 5* as there is no live feed on your website and have to wait ages for you to put a terrible quality online

The quality of the streaming on this site is atrocious, always stopping, hanging, and buffering. If i want to watch it i think i might have to find 'other sites'. Fix it quick.

Imagine if the entire site had a 'technical issue' ???! I suspect this is just an excuse though....I hope I'm wrong but my bet is they'll upload it after 11pm tonight once it's been on 5*. Either way it's not on....oh and thanks for putting it on too late at 11pm tonight for those of us who can't Sky+ it. I suggest the renaming of 'Demand 5' to something more appropriate. I bet some big wig at C5 who gets paid big bucks came up with that genius title!

How convenient we're disabled from adding comments for Episode 3 which is still not uploaded. C'mon Demand 5, you're wasting an investment in a decent show by upsetting all the on demand/catch up viewers. I've been checking online and on catch up tv since yesterday morning. Its 2012, how is your IT so dated? Surely it'd be priority to sort this out after the previous week people were complaining too (from Episode 2)

Tabby and Jess are the front runners with Tabby being the favourite. i think she looks like Billie Piper with the spirit of Caggie i.e more quirky/casual than the other girls. Khloe may turn his head but they're too dissimilar in background. Along with Brandy and Renay, she's one of the ones he'll keep in for fun. There are still a few he feels sorry for and those girls, Aisha and Helen should run, they are better than this show.

No man could be Jesus but you mean why isnt Helen looking for a christian man who will share her faith?! I would like to know that too as she says shes feels the odd 1 out there so why do it,surely she knows what a ladies' man Spencer is?

omg he definitely likes Tabby because shes somewhat similar to Caggie no doubt about that. Love Spencer but Jamie would have been a better bachelor. love Helen but i think by being there in the first place she is kind of contradicting herself she shouldnt have to compete with 24 other girls for a man who's not Jesus.

Spencer comes across so badly and seems too used to the whole reality TV business. In my opinion although more wooden Gavin Henson came across better and was a lot more serious and mature which made The Bachelor more believable viewing. Don't think I'll be watching again

this message is for Hellen. Reading Bible and having faith in God is very important and you've doing well. God bless you. But I'm a bit concern about the message you're projecting. We need to understand the context in the passage which we quote from the Bible, for concerning which kind of message we are sending to the world. The bible says love your enemies. All we make mistakes out of naivety for we are a human. You're a beautiful and a decent girl. As you said you don't even need to be there in the first place, unless God shows you some signs this person is really for you. You're very precious, just trust God and He will bring you across the wright person to you in the wright time. You don't need to fight for one man with other 24 women for some body who is not Jesus!

it would be nice if Jamie was the bachelor because his usually very serious about love, while spencer is chilled out and sometimes, dont know but i feel he treats the girls like their made for sex, they are more than that spencer! you should consider their feelings.
