Richie Strahan had to eliminate two lovely beauties from the show on last Wednesday’s episode. This leaves ten ladies remaining in their search for love. The remaining women were able to set their paces with a compatibility test, where Faith bagged the top spot. Steph, however, was able to get an adventurous date consisting of a jetski ride.

While viewers might feel sad for Noni and Khalia, things are not really that bad for them. They actually enjoyed being in the show and think that the experience was great. In an interview, both handled their eliminations very maturely, saying they are looking forward to a real world search for love and an awesome life outside of the Bachelor mansion.

When Noni was asked about her experience, she described it as “Crazy!” She adds that her time inside the bachelor mansion was probably one of the best in her life. She describes life inside the mansion as like being in a sorority house where it is not normal to be grouped with so many girls, says a report by Woman's Day.

Khalia, meanwhile, addresses these questions in a similar manner. In the interview, the 29-year-old law student says that she thought Richie was a good guy when she first met him. She adds that she was not able to reveal her witty and humorous side since she was in a different environment when she met him. Her favourite moment in the show was watching Richie do the compatibility test and navigate an obstacle course.

As to who is most likely to win the show, both ladies reveal that it is no other than Nikki, with Noni saying that she is “very easy breezy and beautiful!” and Khalia describing her as her “bestie.” Aside from that, a report by Elle says that the chemistry between the two cannot be denied and the signs of her winning are already too visible. It is noteworthy that she got the first single date, the first kiss, got pulled away in a cocktail party for a kiss, had the most kisses with Richie, and even her own ex-fiance is betting on her to win.

“The Bachelor Australia” airs every Wednesday and Thursday on Channel TEN.
