On Thursday, September 2, Jimmy Nicholson will make his final decision in the season finale of The Bachelor Australia, when he chooses between Brooke and Holly. The episode will air at 7:30 pm on 10 and 10 Play.
In the penultimate episode Holly, Jay, and Brooke each curated a day of experiences to impress Jimmy.
Ultimately Jimmy couldn’t shake the turbulence that surrounded rumours that Jay would prefer to be the runner up which ultimately saw her go home, leaving Holly and Brooke as the final two.
Earlier, Holly took charge behind the helm of a boat and picked up Jimmy, for a romantic day on the water. It was all smooth sailing until Holly admitted that she was scared of closing up as the fear of getting hurt set in. Despite her worries, Holly had still taken the plunge and had fallen in love with him.
Jimmy met Brooke for their date where she took him to Guide Dogs Australia services. From puppies and pilots, to a poolside rendezvous, Brooke pulled out all stops to impress her Bachelor.
Jimmy brought up his chat with her brother who revealed she would struggle to be independent. Brooke found it hard to hear and admitted that she valued quality time with a partner. She went on to say that she was falling for Jimmy and they could figure out the logistics of their relationship later down the line.
