We’re two episodes into The Bachelor’s latest season and goddamn, producers have already managed to portray some of the contestants as tried-and-true archetypes. Viewers haven’t taken long to pick their favourites based on their limited screen-time, and the exact inverse is true: villains have been identified.
Yes, we’re talking about Leah. And yes, reactions to her failed kiss with your bae Matty J proved her attempted macking was enough schadenfreude fuel for the entire nation. In case you somehow missed the climactic moment, or wish to relive the cringe, please observe:

Some of that goodwill was erased when Matty J handed her a rose.
But look, this is just setting the scene for another woeful attempt to suck face – and another rejection. Get ready, Australia.
Ok so Matty just chose Leah who tried to pash him and got rejected over a nice girl who didn’t get a chance 🙁 #thebachelorau
