The Bachelor: Funny girl Shari sent home for not being serious enough

Shari had initially thought she was onto a winner with The Bachelor.

The Bachelor has bid farewell to Shari, after questioning whether she was serious enough for him.

The easy going brunette initially stood out for her laidback humour but Jordan Mauger began to question whether she took anything seriously. After trying to discuss the matter with her, he chose to send her home.

Dark clouds also formed over Storm, who broke down crying when Mauger took her aside at the cocktail party.

"I don't know him and he doesn't know me. I don't feel like I'm getting what I need out of this situation," she explained.

A low-key group date saw Mauger take four contestants into the Hawaiian countryside, where they foraged for produce before sitting down to lunch.

Once again, Rebecca stood out as a favourite with Mauger singling her out from the group for some one-on-one time.

Several of the girls, including Storm and Fleur, have begun to doubt their connection with Mauger, as they come to realise they are not alone in catching his eye.

Earlier in the episode, Mauger took Erin on a single date, heading out on the water, where he stole a sunset kiss on the bow of the boat.

After watching fireworks in the harbour, the Bachelor gave Erin a rose before she headed back to the house.

All the contestants are now set to leave Hawaii as they move on to Queensland for the next phase of the competition.
