If you’ve watched even five seconds of the current season of The Bachelorette, you’ll already know that the nicest, kindest, too pure for this goddamn earth guy is James.
The 31-year-old financial advisor has won hearts among the show’s viewers by quite simply not acting like a total fuckhead, a feat most of his fellow cast mates are yet to master.
And Bachelorette Sophie Monk has also seen the light. On tonight’s ep she blessed old mate Jimmy with his very own solo date. Nawww.
Cute ✅ Can construct flatpack ✅ Is the most humble guy ever ✅ Jimmy boy is off on a single date!😍 #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/yPXFYpr1go

The country was completely thrilled by her choice, obviously.

After their extremely awkward/adorable breakdancing and rapping in public interlude, the two sat VERY CLOSE TOGETHER on a Sydney rooftop and rather than going straight in for a pash, James told Sophie why he values her as a person.

It made Sophie tear up, and tbh the rest of us suddenly had something in our eye, too.

Seemingly hearing the country screaming at her to pash the guy, Sophie obliged.

It feels like Sophie is kissing James on behalf of me. #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/QvmYTI9lIz

What a shame that there will be no episodes next week due to James and Sophie’s wedding. #BacheloretteAU

James is too pure for this earth and must be protected at all costs #BacheloretteAU

And just in case you weren’t sold, look at his adorable little FACE:

In an absolute shitfight of masculine posturing, hissy fits over pot plants and miserable failures to spell the word ‘cuisine’, here’s our quiet achiever James, making us feel hope again: he can change a tire, start a fire, put together a flatpack and he knows what to say to a sheila to make her feel special. What a bloke. What a show.
But start girding your hearts now, friends – when he inevitably goes home in the second-to-last episode, we’re all going to need all the emotional fortitude we can muster.
