A Kiss On ‘The Bachelorette’ Tonight Made Everyone Cringe
Tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette saw the most uncomfortable kiss so far, when Danny decided he and Ali were having a moment when they absolutely weren’t.
To backtrack, Danny won some solo time with Ali after the group date. The two got to know each other, but there were no huge sparks flying. They weren’t even sitting that close. For some reason, Danny decided it was the perfect time to lean in and plant one on a flustered Ali.
Ali politely ducked back and Danny said this:
However, he also said on-camera that he knew the moment was ‘premature’ but wanted to show Ali his ‘affectionate side’:
Ali described the moment as awkward, saying she didn’t know what to say to Danny:
Viewers were not impressed by how the scene played out:
Dude you can't just go spewing out sayings and then go for the pash sheesh #BacheloretteAU

And the irony of the fact Danny had picked the “respect” option in the bidding game didn’t go unnoticed:
Danny winning Respect and then trying to kiss Ali without her consent lmao #BacheloretteAU

Mr “highly values respect” jumps on Ali with no warning and tries to kiss her. Good one. #BacheloretteAU

And on a final note:
PSA: Ali can choose to kiss and choose to NOT kiss whoever she wants. Knowing she’s kissed someone else isn’t an invite for you. #BacheloretteAU
