A bit of fun, a bit of sexual tension, and a fair bit of jealousy too – tonight we got a classic episode of The Bachelorette, full of ups, downs, and of course, meme material geology facts.
Starting off with a Halloween theme (a week early!) we got to see the boys chill out and have some fun with Elly and Becky. That was, until few heavy questions started coming out.
But let’s cut to the dates, ‘cos that’s where the really meme potential blossomed on The Bachelorette tonight.
You can’t not see a bodypainting exercise as primo meme real estate, as demonstrated below.

And what about sweet Rock Boy™ Adam, who after admitting to have never been in love, ended up having one of the cutest (and perhaps most sexually tense) dates of the season.

Bless him and his rocks (and Elly’s rocks, too).

Then it was time for Sam‘s date with Becky, in which he claimed to get flour (?) in his hair (??). Okay, bud.
I feel like Sam would be the type of boyfriend who does an excel spreadsheet of who paid for what for the grocery shopping #BacheloretteAU

Too much focus on what’s in their past, not enough focus on what’s in their pasta. #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/OoKIeDd70m

Remember back in March when there were rations on flour, and now we are throwing it around like it’s free – how far we’ve come! #BacheloretteAU

Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of The Bachelorette without a cocktail party filled with jealousy and toxic masculinity.
This time around we were treated to James and Frazer interrogating poor old Joe about his past with Elly for the umpteenth fucking time.
GUYS THEY FUCKED GET OVER IT #BacheloretteAU

Why are they so obsessed with forcing them to admit they’ve slept together? Like how hard it is to figure out what “a weekend away” means? #BacheloretteAU

At least their outfits were on point…

Oh btw, Osher seems to be livetweeting his own goddamn show quite a bit lately.
My twitter feed is just @oshergunsberg laughing his ass off at his own damn show and I’m not mad.

That said… his tweets are spot on. Keep it up, host daddy.
