The Bachelor and the four remaining girls leave the glamour and romance of Italy and return to home to their families. Spencer then visits all four girls at home and really gets to see what makes them tick, away from the heated environment of the competition. At the end of this episode, three of the girls will be jetting off to the tropical island paradise of the Bahamas, while one is left behind in the rain – but who will it be?
First stop on the tour is Suffolk, where Spencer is surprised to discover his first girl’s family life is rather different from the image she has been projecting. He gets a further shock when her overprotective father (a keen amateur boxer) reminds him in no uncertain terms that a daddy’s girl will always be just that.
Next stop on the nationwide journey is Wiltshire. Spencer had been looking forward to meeting the girls away from the pushy, competitive environment of the house, but he had not anticipated the need to repel the amorous advances of one of their mothers! Spencer escapes with his honour intact, before a frank and intimate conversation with the girl in question leaves him with doubts about his future with her.
The following day finds Spencer travelling to Hampshire. He is dogged by doubts about a future with this girl and hopes that, by finally spending some quality time with her away from the others, he will see another side to her that he is so desperate to glimpse. Unfortunately, she seems unable to stop herself reverting to type. Spencer is torn over whether his initial attraction to her can overcome such a significant character flaw.
The last home visit brings a cataclysmic shock for the Bachelor. A confession from the girl hits Spencer like a ton of bricks and her future is in jeopardy as he struggles to take in the unsettling discovery.
The show concludes with an extremely tense rose ceremony at Gatwick airport. All four girls have their bags packed in readiness to fly away with Spencer, but one will be disappointed. After the four home visits, the field is wide open again, and it is anyone’s guess who Spencer will be taking with him to the Bahamas.

I'm quite a bit out of the gossip loop. What happened between Spencer and Lousie in Made In Chelsea? Last thing I saw they were a couple then I saw an advert for this show, so I guessed something had happend to them?

Breaks down every 30 seconds, have sent in to inform you but nothing has been done and no explanation given this is very poor customer relations.

This has been badly put together, they showed a clip of the second girl's mum confessing that she fancied spencer before the break...then when they showed him meeting the mum SHE NEVER SAID IT. It is not well edited and annoying to watch when they do teasers like that.

Well, real or acted, my guess is, Khloe to go next week, Tabby in the final and Chloe LC will win. Chloe and Spencer have the most in common, Khloe's background won't work beyond the attraction, Tabby's transparent with her feelings and may be sightly clingy (and with a too scary father!).

Good question, Tabby's dad! What is your contribution to society? And Spencer says, 'What do you mean, like charities?' HAHA. The wisdom of older men - priceless.

Isn't it amazing. When you reveal the truth on this forum the moderators remove it. Channel 5 we aren't ALL in fantasy land. The www is a big place and even the 'actors' of The Bachelor cannot hide - or are they all fantasy too?

series numbr 2 and bachelor number 2 hurtling towads a bad decision! why can't these guys see what the rest of us can, a bitchy lapdancer, a kiss & tell kerry katona clone and tabby, (and none of them will ever be Caggie Spencer! lol) expect another final show shouting 'no, don't pick her' at the at the screen, lets hope this one works out better than the last one 'i love you carrianne' vom! x

charlie 1088 what the hell have you just given away who wins for ??? no-one scroll down who DOESNT WANT TO KNOW WHO WINS!! that s really crap of you to do that! i can't believe he'd choose anyone over tabby of the three who are remaining , - all what he said about the experience of being with jess on their romantic night in italy - i hope he had to give her a decent explanation and chat to her afterwards , it must be crushing!! the bachelor isn't interested in anyone unless he's sure they've got feelings for him , but then he can make someone have feelings and just dump them .

Do you want to tell me that out of 25 girls in the last 3 there is a stripper, kiss and tell girl and Tabby?Spencer should have asked Chloe's mother what she thinks about her daughter's profession. That would have been interesting.

No wonder the ratings are down, generally people won't commit to watch an average show on a Friday night with an ever-changing starting time. I don't watch the repeats - I tend to catch up online. And to find it's not been uploaded again due to it's horrific ratings is a little pathetic. I - for one - am making a movement. I won't watch the rest of the episodes, partly because Helen has gone - partly because it really is awful, I'll just wait to be informed who wins via Twitter. BOYCOTT THE BACHELOR. t minus 6000 seconds until this comment is removed by a moderator.

I understand that because the ratings are bad you might think it didn't matter that last night you moved the Bachelor from 10pm to 11:20pm. Last night I decided to watch it when it was actually on TV because I knew it'd be uploaded late as always. However, 11:20pm is too late for me as I'm working today so you missed out on one extra viewer. I can't watch the repeat on Sunday either because of work. I'd have thought that number of views online counts for something so can't you just upload the episodes on time so people who want to watch it can watch when it's convenient for them?

Sorry channel 5 but this is now getting ridiculous. I have a very busy schedule and a Saturday afternoon is the only time when I am able to catch up programmes. This service is quite clearly called 'Demand 5' which is slightly ironic considering it takes you about 4 days to put the programme up! I suggest you re-name yourself or you do actually put the programme up!

This is a set up and fake. He will choose the girl who is much more interested in the t.v. exposure and fame, as that is why he is doing this - to increase his public profile and try to get t.v. presenting jobs etc from this. He also wants to come across as though he is a gentleman etc, by harping on about how much he 'cares for' all these girls. When his mates gave him feedback on who they liked etc. they enthused about Helen (no disrespect to Helen) to show that they value personality over looks and are not snobs etc. She is lovely etc. but think that was set up as well. Take this with a massive bag of salt and watch it for what it is, entertainment overall, not serious, not 'genuine' (one of that MIC lots' favourite words!!!) and just a bit of cheap, 'reality' telly. I feel sorry for the girls who are left and have developed true feelings for him, aside from just lust for money and sex. Oh well....

"I'm getting really annoyed at having to wait so long for 'on demand'. It's hardly 'on demand'. Episode 8 was aired on Friday. It's now Tuesday & STILL not available" whoever miffed anna annoyed is you're an idiot because it says clearly it hasn't been aired yet so i don't know what you think you're doing, and just because some of the episodes have come on late there is no need to jump to conclusions. and if you knew anything about this programme at all you would know that it is yet to be aired... at least you made a total fool of yourself. I can't believe you said that! .... some people

If he had any sense or respect for these women he would have ended this chauvinistic façade as soon as he felt that "initial spark" instead of trying to find "love" with multiple girls whom he strings along like a line of silly sausages! My thoughts? He deserves none of them! ...especially not Helen who is well fit.
