It’s a Thursday night, which means it’s time for my weekly Bachie Twiter recap, and good lord did the internet have a fucking field day with tonight’s episode. Honestly, at this point I’m not even sure the audience wants Matt to find love anymore.

So we start off with the solo date, which Kristen won. Not sure how. We didn’t get any warning, it just kinda opened on the date.
Oriental music played (of course) and Kristen talked too much about China (of course).
#thebachelorau you think Kristens parents told her to dig a hole to China and she was the one kid who made it there?

But they also played noughts and crosses, with a fucked prize of a foot rub.
Twitter had a field day with this, and now the internet is convinced that Matty boy has a wee ol’ foot fetish.

There have been two foot-related dates now… and still no star gazing. Is #AstroBach saving that for a favourite? #TheBachelorAU

No. No more feet. We don’t need more feet this season there have been too many foot centric activities already #TheBachelorAU

They also shared a weird coffee-scrub bath that gave everyone flashbacks of the horrific choccie bath date.

The group date ended up being the “meet the loved ones date” and we were introduced to Matt’s bestie, Kate. Twitter didn’t seem to trust Kate’s judgement all that much.

Then just when you thought it couldn’t get more dramatic, Abbie and Sogand have a FIGHT. Drama queen Rachael told Abbie that Sogand was bitching and then obviously ALL HELL broke loose. Pass me the popcorn.
Abbie and Sogand have to be here for at least like 4 more episodes because none of the other girls are about the drama life#TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/ZpHqu0EjHl

Ultimately, Cassandra was sent packing. She hadn’t developed much of a personality on the show yet. Honestly, it just looks like one of those background contestant eliminations.
