‘The Bachelor’ Mean Girl Leah Gave An Oscar-Worthy Performance On Tonight’s Ep

What an ep of The Bachelor! It’s still early days in this year’s season and already we have a definitive villain in Leah. Tonight she stepped up her game.

Next ep, I’m expecting her to at least have a hook for a hand, a Russian accent and a tank of lazer-eyed sharks.

The drama was mostly isolated to the ‘last supper’ type dinner at the end of the group date. It all started when Matty J asked the girls how they’ve found the house dynamics between the girls, a question that ‘mean girl’ Leah quickly addressed as if she wasn’t the main bully.

She told Matty,

“We’ve had some shaky times,”

“I know, I struggled, and I know a couple of the other girls struggled.”

Yeah… they’re struggling because you were picking on them like defenceless sheep, you big bad blonde wolf.

She didn’t stop there, telling the Bach,

“I’m very protective and maybe it’s the mother instinct in me but I take on everybody else’s feelings as if they’re my own.”

What on earth is she saying? The other girls on the table were left unimpressed.

Da fuq??

Whatever…

*Sips an extra big gulp*

We are all too old for this shit.

Still, Cobie found it all hysterical – and was just happy to be there (as usual).

Where even am I, tho?!!!

Leah continued her assault, convincing one girl to interrupt Matty’s solo one-on-one time and then savagely swooping in to spoil that time. It was mind-game central.

“I think that now that I’ve got Matty alone maybe it’s time to start playing a different game.

You know, I’m happy to play the sad crying one or be a little vulnerable if I need to,” she actually says to camera, like a villain in a bad porno.

Leah then went on to spill confusing nonsense that she clearly made up on the spot.

Batting her eyelashes with basic one-liners like,

“I think that’s just in my nature.

I care too much,”

Care about drama… sure.

Incoming: a single tear. Such drama.

Many emotions.

Matty was not hooked. He stared blankly while internally reflecting on his make-out sesh with Laura aka Georgia 2.0.

Who is this woman???

After her Oscar Logie worthy performance, she got a HUG out of it.

Success!

NAILED IT.

Matty didn’t know what just happened…

Who? What? Why?

But just when we thought Matty was clued into Leah being a giant bully, he dropped this doozy on us…

“I’m glad you’re here for the right reasons,” he told Leah.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He’s under her spell, that she-devil.

Extra bad news is: after surviving another rose ceremony, looks like Leah’s staying to keep spinning stories for another day.
