The Bachelorette

S06:E04 - Episode 4

Eleven suitors remain, as the group travels to New York City on the first leg of an exciting trip around the world. Ali trades in her casual California style for sexy, date night outfits with the help of InStyle magazine during a makeover and photo shoot. (Her new look will be featured in the magazine's July issue in the U.S., on sale 18 June.) Meanwhile, Kasey is tapped for a one-on-one date and vows to "guard and protect Ali's heart" and return with a rose. A sweeping helicopter tour over Manhattan takes the couple to Liberty Island, where they have a romantic sunset picnic. Then the Bachelorette takes him for a late-night exploration of the Museum of Natural History by flashlight, and they enjoy having the empty iconic space all to themselves. But when they settle down for some serious talk, will Ali be satisfied with Kasey's answers?Later, seven enthusiastic bachelors visit the long-running, landmark Broadway musical The Lion King. The show's producer, Thomas Schumacher, surprises the men by telling them that they will audition onstage for alone time with Ali. A good-natured but intense competition ensues, with the bachelors attempting to sing and dance their way into the Bachelorette's heart. In the end, Ali selects one lucky bachelor, who will also be featured with her in that night's performance of The Lion King, in front of a packed house.The intense schedule is getting to Ali and, exhausted and emotionally drained, she is forced to cancel her elaborate plans for her individual date with Chris L.
