The goss keep coming.

This article mentioned there will be 3 walk out.

With AB walk out

'An unnamed contestant claimed that Ab told the other bois, “I’m a rock star, these are not my girls. I’m not interested in either of them, they’re not up to my standard. If my mates saw me on this show with these two chicks, they’d be embarrassed for me.”

Then Becky went to give him a rose and he rejected it, saying “Sorry, I can’t accept this rose.” Then he backflipped out. **** me.

Apparently the producers didn’t know he was going to reject Becky and they started “freaking out” and asked him to come back.

So the girls go out and try to “change his mind and beg for him to stay,” but he “outright told them that he isn’t interested in them, he doesn’t see a future with them.”

With Harry
Apparently there’s an incestuous love triangle right off the bat, as Becky is keen on a bloke named Harry, but he’s only keen on Elly, so he rejects the older sis.

But get this: “More drama unfolds when Elly finds out he’s actually 35, with a kid, and she’s no longer keen on him after finding this out.”

And the final spot of tea spilled in the ep is that there’s a ‘yuge “blow-up” in tonight’s ep (the first of several explosive fights this season, apparently).

Some dude called James is jealous that some other dude called Damo got more time with the girls and it “ends with him staunching him and trying to fight him.”

Ten’s The Bachelorette has returned for its sixth season with sisters Elly and Becky Miles in the titular role, delivering its lowest ever launch figure for the network. The show drew an overnight metro audience of 628,000.

Nationally, the show delivered 785,000 viewers. It topped all three of the key advertising demographics – 16-39s, 18-49s and 25-54s.

Won demos, but lowest numbers ever. So that means that audiences for TV are just overall shrinking I guess?

Inevitable, there are just so many choices for where to put your eyeballs these days

@leavers

I've been watching it on catchup most of the time because I have better things to do on a Wednesday and Thursday night.

I can't find the promo thingy where they preview the entire season with the dates and everything.

Overnight ratings include viewing online either live or by catchup until 2am, and catchup for the rest of the week is included in 'consolidated' ratings, so it still counts.

I made the ultimate sacrifice and listened to So Dramatic. Note I was listening on double speed so my apologies if a few details are wrong. Here's a summary:

-Pete's marriage ended badly, infidelity was likely involved. Coming up later in the season. He then apparently applied to the season as 'revenge'
-Loosely in her words 'Elly took shot-gun on all the hot guys, Becky got the scraps'
-Quotes from two anon contestants 'not desirable' 'weren't cut out to be the Bachelorette'
-Only 5 of the 20 boys were into the girls, the season became very chill and about making mates
-Rudy and Adrian said 'these chicks suck' they are the fakest
-Damien and Aggi were very close friends prior but pretended they didn't know each other
-Damien was there for fame, he was almost an intruder for love island, got to the last round
-So Elly had 13 ish guys and Becky had 7 but the 'teams' aren't that obvious so Becky gives roses to some of Elly's guys
-Frazer, Elly, Becky blocked So Dramatic
-Damien is an early villain, then James and Pascal has some fights with James and Aggi
-Becky kisses three guys in three days soon which causes some drama

@bachie.bachie thanks for the recap!

Oh boy, not so nice comments by Rudy and Adrian.

Damien and Aggi pretended they didn't know each other?? How fake /scripted is that!!

Just shows you get what you pay for. Channel 10 went cheap!

I just watched an 'extras' scene on the 10play website. 2 things to note:
1. Frazer is a lot chattier and less uncomfy talking to the guys, no surprises there
2. So much for not dating the same guys, it seems that Harry&Becky and Shannon&Elly both had one on one time on the date too. Seems like they both dated both guys and then the editing pushed the narrative that would carry forward for further down the season.

@bachie.bachie
Yeah I noticed Frazer as well. Fair enough considering most of the guys don't even want to date the girls.
