Well, that was something, wasn’t it? Essentially all of our theories were confirmed, Sophie Monk absolutely rules and is hilarious and is bringing a great vibe to the show, and the group of men are acting like you would expect a group of straight men competing for a women’s attention to act.
Which is to say, atrociously.
Why are men like this? #BacheloretteAU

BUT I will admit it is a tough situation to come into, so I don’t want to discount all of the men too early as being terrible, it is only fair I give them a fair chance to prove they are terrible.
However, there is one thing I know that every single person in this country can agree on: Ryan is the villain.
Ryan has the eyes of a shark. Ryan has the vibe of a douchebag that almost every woman watching would recognise, and would implore Sophie to run away from, very quickly.

The show was tricky because we were all initially lulled into a false sense of security when Blake appeared, because Blake is also a cocky douchebag, and so we thought ‘Okay, so this is the season’s douchebag. That’s okay, he just seems arrogant and Sophie will just kick him out.’
But NO, the producers of this show pulled a secret move, by then out-douchebagging that douchebag, and bringing on shark-eyes Ryan. Clever.

He appeared on screen and within thirty seconds had immediately made me despise him, as he talked about his ‘high standards’ for women. He then approached Sophie in an aggressive manner, questioning her motives, and finished off the charm offensive by saying “I certainly do” when she complimented his grey hair. No.

I think he has modelled himself after Christian Grey from the ‘50 Shades‘ franchise, and unfortunately has mistaken being confident for acting like a serial killer.
He then followed this initial bullshit up by (again) aggressively demanding Sophie go off with him so she can answer his interrogation, and then trying to act all macho when some of the other dudes interrupted them.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS MAN. GET AWAY FROM OUR QUEEN.
Luckily, I was not alone, because literally every person on earth with a beating human heart felt some sort of way about him.

List of things Ryan has 100% said:
– “she was asking for it”
– “yeah she was crazy”
– “get back in the kitchen!”#bacheloretteau— jackson langford (@jacksonlangford) September 20, 2017
Be a gentleman Ryan eh – like interrupting a woman when she’s clearly about to talk?#bacheloretteAU

I feel like Ryan sleeps sitting up with his eyes open. #BacheloretteAU

But at the end of the show, through some sort of dark arts, Sophie decided that two other men were somehow worse than Ryan, and he got a rose.
But then again, so did the grown man who started out the episode by dabbing, and saying the word ‘dabsolutely’ to Sophie’s face. So she’s obviously keeping in some duds for now.
imagine having to stand there knowing someone who just said dabsolutely got a rose and you didn’t #BacheloeretteAU

Also can we just have none of the men and the whole show can be Sophie and her dog #bacheloretteAU

Stay tuned next week to see if Ryan reveals he has a soul, or perhaps finally strips off his outer man-flesh to reveal the medium-sized shark I know is hiding under that costume.
