HOLY OSHER: New Zealand has two Bachelorettes and one of them just pulled a Honey Badger.

SO.

Last night in New Zealand, the final episode of the very first season of The Bachelorette aired. And it was… A LOT.

Firstly, there were two bachelorettes. And secondly, one of them pulled a Honey Badger and picked precisely no one.

WATCH: The NZ Bachelorette teasing a second bachelorette. Post continues below.

Let’s first recap, because you probably don’t know much about this season.

While the Kiwis have aired three previous seasons of The Bachelor, this was their very first season of The Bachelorette.

For the first few weeks, the season focused on 32-year-old Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster’s search for love. Then during one Sunday night episode, there was a ~big reveal~ in the form of 23-year-old Lily McManus… a second bachelorette.

Lily is a recognisable face in the country, having been a fan favourite in the country’s third season of The Bachelor, where she was dumped in the final episode. She went on to star in the US spinoff The Bachelor Winter Games, meeting Australian Courtney Dober (from Georgia Love’s season of our Bachelorette), whom she dated for a while. More recently, she appeared on NZ show Celebrity Treasure Island and now… she’s bachelorette #2.

For the past few weeks, both ladies have been dating over 20 men and handing out less and less roses until it came down to their final two.

Lily had to choose between Wanaka-based clothing designer Richie Boyens and bartender Jesse Williamson. While Lesina told food technology teacher, Aaron McNabb, on their final date that she wouldn’t be taking anyone to the final rose ceremony.

“You know this was such a hard decision for me but I’ve decided I don’t want to take anyone to the final rose,” she said through tears.

“What I wanted out of this experience was to find my forever person, and if I hadn’t found that I didn’t want to pretend that I had.”

However, luckily for the people of NZ, Lily, the other Bachelorette, did find love.

During the finale, Lily was torn between Richie and Jesse, but in the end she chose Richie.

“Through the ups and the downs, the early mornings and late nights, the heartaches and the hangovers, you’ve made it all worth it. You’re the person I want to make me breakfast in the morning,” Lily told Richie.

So, we got both the drama and the love story. It’s really everything we could hope for in a Bachelorette season.
