Why did Nicolle win Mel’s final heart?

Nicolle wins Mel’s trust at the party; the full story of the final rose and Gerri’s emotional farewell.

A team of bakers and a serious lemon bar

On the latest episode of The Golden Bachelor, Nicolle made a big difference with a small move.

She spent more time with Mel during the party and proved herself to be Mel’s favorite.

An interesting twist was that Nicolle took credit for the lemon bars that several women made together, and this small, playful move paid off.

Mel’s Weakness and Nicolle’s Move

Mel himself admitted that he couldn’t “resist” Nicolle because she was “all about me”—simply put, Nicolle made him feel like his priority.

This kind of simplicity and complete presence adds a unique spark to reality TV, and this behavior from Mel was immediately noticeable.

The Final Rose and the Women Who Chosen

The biggest outcome of the night was when Nicolle received the final rose.

Robin, Roxanne, and Gerri decided to leave—and it all intensified when Mel revealed that some relationships were already deepening.

It was an emotional moment, especially for Gerri; she had just gotten the first-sight rose, and now she was left with a goodbye.

Mel walked her to her car and said that if it were all over again, he would give her the first-impression rose again.

Gerri also expressed her emotion, saying, “It’s been a wonderful adventure.”

The Episode Ended with a Jump into the Pool

The episode had a funny and grand finale: the six remaining women and Mel jumped into the pool together.

The scene was a gentle relief and lighthearted fun, as if everyone was catching a breath after a long walk.

It’s these small, human moments, amidst TV romance dramas, that make the show worth watching.

What’s Next?

As the Rose Ceremonies and bonding moments escalate, the upcoming episodes will be filled with even more emotions and complications.

Nicolle’s final rose now begins a new chapter—where the remaining candidates’ relationships truly end up will be determined.
