Hamish & Richie Deadset Third-Wheeled Faith On Her ‘Bachelor’ Single Date

The Bachelor has already established that throwing children into the mix makes for utterly engrossing TV, due to how horribly / wonderfully things go wrong. Last time around, one of the contestants actually would up neglecting her baby-emulating doll so badly it “died”, so the show obviously needed a way to top that unintentional slab of primo black humour.

Solution: dress Hamish Blake up in a tyke’s overalls, make the comedian / radio host / Aussie media mainstay act like a four-year-old, and unleash him on Richie’s single date with poor, unsuspecting Faith.

While Hamish – err, we mean Rory – elicited a fair few chuckles from his predictably kid-like stunts, the real hilarity of the sitch came from how obviously stoked Richie was to be hanging out with the bloke. Make no mistake, this wasn’t a single date. It was a triple date. And Faith was the third wheel.

The car ride was proof enough. “Rory” was more than happy to prod ol’ mate Richie about his “type”. That sparked some banter that flattered Faith – he said his type relates to “what’s on the inside”, bless – but he was clearly more focussed on bro-ing out with his “son”.

They even made Faith drive.

The trio went bowling, and our fave dungaree-clad toddler proceeded to wreak havoc. As “Rory” shuttled down the lane, set off an alarm and planted himself on the waxed floor, Richie kept his distance and cracked a knowing smirk. Once again, it was up to Faith to do the heavy literal lifting.

Then, it was toilet time. At the request of the world’s largest child, someone had to sing him a song as he busted a leak. Ask yourself: if you were a bloke who had been surrounded by responsible adult women for weeks on end, wouldn’t you take the first opportunity to be a utterly juvenile dude with your new mate, too?

At the end of the night, with lil’ “Rory” supposedly all tuckered out, the two adults went and had themselves a bit of a pash, because obviously. Even then, the pyjama-clad kiddo stuck his head back in. We can only assume if Richie had taken notice, those two would have stayed up until 2am playing Nintendo, with Faith looking on.

Presumably because he was so rapt to be spending time with Hamish, he forgot to give her a rose on the spot. Of course, she got one in the end, but let’s be real: every time he looks at her from now on, he’s going to think about his new #1 hombre.
