Viewers Are Getting Bored Of All The Drama On The Bachelor Australia

We're only a couple of episodes into the latest season of The Bachelor Australia and it seems like viewers are already getting a little tired of the drama.

You'd think people would be into the hecticness surrounding a reality TV show, but a cursory glance on social media will tell a different story.

Last night's episode showing Juliette slipping bachelor Locky a note professing her desire to spend more time with him caused a goddamn s***storm in the house.

But because everyone kept droning on about it, people were getting bored online.

One person wrote: "If I hear about this letter one more time I'm gonna throw hands."

Another added: "Seriously #bachelorau is getting embarrassing to watch. These women can't be real. No one acts like this. No one wants to be seen like this. More and more sure that they're planted in there for entertainment. Don't even think they're real participants."

When it came time for tonight's episode, viewers were hoping to move on from the drama and switch to something more exciting.

It did start off with a bang, with Nicole having to abseil down a goddamn cliff face on a date with Locky, which was followed by a cute second date in a beautiful setting. They got to lock lips and the blonde contestant seemed very chuffed she got her triple threat rose.

Then there was a fun game of gridiron with a twist and, naturally, that got a few of the women heated against one another.

But it seems like the constant bitching between the contestants wasn't wowing the crowd.

This viewer said: "Are we going hard on the drama now because once lockdown hits we're going to have to pretend to be into the 'love'?"

Roxi was very delighted to go on a solo date with Locky, where she was presented with a rose, much to Nicole's dismay. Areeba certainly didn't help things by stoking Nicole's fears of Locky falling for someone else.

To be honest, Areeba tried to stir the pot several times and you could see she was getting a kick out of making the other women uncomfortable or a little on edge.

Then the cocktail party came alone and good lord there was drama. We didn't get to see the total fall out but it looks like claws will be out soon.
