The Bachelor Recap: The C-Word and Microwaved Meals Told in 23 Tweets


Okay, get ready because tonight’s episode made up for last night’s lacklustre one.
To start off, JIMMY BROUGHT HIS DOG. I REPEAT, JIMMY BROUGHT HIS DOG.
Billy the doggo is introduced to all the ladies and is the one that picks who will be going on a single date with Jimmy. Nice Jimbo, let the dog decide so you don’t get the blame.
THE DOG IS THE BEST CHARACTER ON THIS SHOW #TheBachelorAU

Anyway, he ends up picking Holly because out of all the girls, Holly is giving him the best scratchiez.
Can we have a Barkchler? 10/10 would watch.
Holly then third wheels it with Jimmy and Billy as they go paddleboarding in the water.
I wanna see a realistic date just ONCE on one of these shows: sitting on the couch in full glam and pretending to be interested while he plays video games #TheBachelorAU

So at this point I kind of lost track of what was happening because I was too busy fawning over Billy.
Billy and Holly both fall in the water and Jimmy is faced with the gruelling decision of whose life he should save first.
Jimmy: "You're a natural"

He chose the dog. Wise choice.
After saving Holly, they kiss to absolutely no one’s surprise. At this point, my husband, who pretends to not like the show, asks “does this guy kiss everyone that crosses his path?”
at this point we need a counter of how many women Jimmy has kissed and weβre only on episode 4 #TheBachelorAU
— alysha π (@hauntedloml) July 29, 2021
The answer is, yes. Yes, he does.
As they kiss, Holly talks about how romantic it is to be kissed in the “pouring rain”. It was a light drizzle girl, no need to be dramatic.
Back at the mansion, Regina George AKA Stephanie is gearing up to write Holly’s name in the Burn Book.

How DARE Holly do exactly what she came on this show to do!?
I hope she can afford the license fee on breaking that 4th wall.
— Osher GΓΌnsberg (@oshergunsberg) July 29, 2021
I paid a lot of money for that. #TheBachelorAU https://t.co/s6RBEgV9zX
Okay back to the date.
Jimmy takes Holly to the Bach pad, and like the gentleman he truly is, whips her up a not-sponsored-at-all Youfoodz meal.
imagine in real life being on date and then they are like, hold up we just need to film an ad first #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/65KWJuFnOW

mmmmmm, microwave pasta.
Jimmy bringing a date back to his place for a microwave dinnerβ¦ no wonder heβs a bachelor. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/e8xA2CaonG

They sit on the couch and Holly tells Jimmy about her parents disastrous marriage, and I would really not want to be her mum and dad right now.

Jimmy has that expression where he’s trying to make it look like he cares but can’t relate because his parents are loaded and live on the northern beaches.
They really don't need to go on about him being a pilot. They could just say "jimmy's parents are fucking loaded and own prime waterfront real estate and he's got a decent face" & i reckon everyone would still give him a go#theBachelorAU
— Rose Callaghan (@operation_rosie) July 21, 2021
They kiss. Again.
Jimmy then said something that made me well up with tears. Before the show, he was afraid none of the women vying for his love would like him.
Jimmy: "My biggest fear coming into this is that there might not be anyone here who likes me" #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/7aMxtvvkcc
— AtomicNicky (@AtomicNicky) July 29, 2021
I shit you not.
Jimmy, you could have three big toes as a head and these women would still fall for you.
Fast forward, the girls meet Jimothy and Osher for the group date, and old man Osh reveals they have to walk through a maze while answering a bunch of questions.
This maze just got political. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/n7WQdTgfhr
— PUNKEE (@itspunkee) July 29, 2021
If you get the answer right, you go through the shortcut. Whoever meets Jimmy in the middle wins a date.
Honestly, no man is worth this much effort. I will not be taking any further questions. #thebachelorau pic.twitter.com/CGI2gb2Thu

“I think the intention was to embarrass us on national television,” said Stephanie about the challenge, and sorry to say babe, but you don’t need a maze to do that.
Brooke ends up winning, and she can’t stop giggling because she’s so excited to be reunited with her one true love.
Look, I’m no body language expert, but Jimmy looked disappointed when he saw Brooke was the winner.
The disappointment when jimmy said Brooke #TheBachelorAU
— Caitlin Montgomery (@caittmonty) July 29, 2021
As they sip bubbly and eat strawberries, Brooke admits to enjoying dressing up in medieval costumes, and I’m sorry? What now?
Brooke: "I thought we were going to dress up in medieval costumes and fight each other"

Jimmy:

Jimmy is fearing for his life, as he looks around for a possible exit but he’s stuck. Guess a maze isn’t a great place for a date.
It’s cocktail party time, and Jimmy pulls Holly to the side to have a chat.
jimmy: hey holly can you please come and have a chat
— sarah π€π (@lightsupleclerc) July 29, 2021
holly: oh okay sure!
every other girl but especially steph: this fucking bitch #TheBachelorAU
Stephanie was not having it, and, drum roll please, called her THE C-WORD to Brooke.
Brooke is shocked, how could Stephanie say the C-word? She needs to dob her in but to who!?
Brooke can't believe Steph called Holly the C-word. Brooke is clearly not from the northern suburbs of Brisbane.#TheBachelorAU
— So Dramatic! (@sodramaticpod) July 29, 2021
She proceeds to tell Carlie and Tahnee about what happened, and now everyone is offended.
I’m sorry, but, do these ladies not live in Australia? I’ve always thought the C-word was a term of endearment.
Do aussies even get offended when theyβre called the βcβ word ? #TheBachelorAU
— Lodz π¦ (@sumwheresmiling) July 29, 2021
The ladies join forces and tell Holly about what happened.
brooke was definitely the girl who reminded the teacher that they forgot to assign homework at the end of class god love her #TheBachelorAU
— kiki π§π»ββοΈ (@violettfemmes) July 29, 2021
A clearly upset Holly acts like the bigger person and confronts Stephanie, but Steph refuses to acknowledge it.
Stephanie should write a book: “Gaslighting 101”
The editing team are on Holly’s side, as they REWIND to the moment Stephanie called her the filthy word.

Look if you’re going to lie, at least make sure you aren’t being filmed.
Steph: I never said thatβ¦

The Editors:

Holly cries and says if it wasn’t for Jimmy, she would have left the show.
At the rose ceremony, you can cut the tension with a knife, as Stephanie is worried she’ll be sent home.
ngl if i was in this rose ceremony i'd be yawning #TheBachelorAU
— taryn (@thereafter) July 29, 2021
But we all know the producers won’t let her go that easily, so in the end, Hannah and Kendall Jenner, sorry I mean Tamlyn are forced to say goodbye as they head home.
See you next week!
