Episode two of what’s already the greatest season in the Bachelor/ette franchise ever, and we are even more firmly in love with Sophie Monk than we originally thought possible – and that’s even after last night’s ludicrously charming introduction!
Okay, so this is a thing we are doing I guess. #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/ODO0y3H42P

Tonight we got to see Sophie take one lucky bloke on a single date, and a bunch of lucky blokes on a fucken photoshoot, because that’s how these things go, apparently.
The lucky bloke was Jarrod, and he was pretty bloody impressive during that insane high ropes course that some silver-tongued producer with coins and clockwork for brains talked Sophie into doing.
Despite both of them being pants-shittingly scared of heights, the ex-military man with the receding hairline was every bit the gentleman, calmly talking Sophie down from an escalating panic attack and returning her safely to solid ground.
Kudos to Sophie for wanting to face her fears but there is NO WAY you would catch up there. #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/O4DRR8SbmZ

Swoon, right?
I feel like Jarrod is the type of guy who would catch a spider and release it outside rather than kill it… #bacheloretteau

Jarrod: “I was petrified… but seeing Sophie like that, I went into protective mode”

WRONG!!!! If reality TV has taught us anything it’s that you can trust no man, particularly none of the ones on The Bachelorette. Unfortunately for everyone, but particularly Sophie Monk, who deserves nothing less than an actual prince/perfect human, Jarrod went from one to a hundred on the Cling-O-Meter in about, oh, one beer?
Yeah. No-one likes a Jealous Jarrod, mate.
Whenever I feel bad for getting too attached to anyone who pays me the tiniest iota of attention, I will think of Jarrod #BacheloretteAU

Oh yeah, and everyone else is just as batshit crazy as you’d expect as well. Or more!
Blake and Jarrod are fighting because they both bought Sophie uggs. This the most Australian drama ever #BacheloretteAU

I feel society always talks about how crazy girls are whilst dating and, at least now we can see guys are batshit too #BacheloretteAU

I can just see Sophie walking out with the man of her dreams and 16 pairs of new ugg boots in the finale #thebacheloretteau

Wild stuff. What can we expect from next episode? Hopefully a whole lot more infantile hypermasculine posturing interspersed with whining, pouting and fighting over Ugg boots, because damn it, that’s what we’ve signed up for, apparently.
We’re so lucky we’ve got Sophie to see us through this trying time.
