9 Things That Happened On Tonight’s “Meet The Parents” Episode Of ‘The Bachelorette’

Welcome back to another hectic episode of The Bachelorette. Strap yourselves in because while the bro-code might not be as policed this episode, it doesn’t mean we’re safe from drama.

After Angie booted three bros last night, we only bid farewell to one silent Bachy tonight. This basically means Angie has dumped four guys in the space of a couple of days which is what I call my usual week!

“That is blatantly not true,” my next-door neighbour screamed from her balcony. “You don’t have any bros! None! Zero! A man hasn’t entered your house in years.”

OK let’s just recap episode 6 of The Bachelorette, shall we? 

1. Jamie is super sure he’s going to get the single date after getting the first rose… but it goes to Ciarran.

Were you guys aware Jamie got the first rose? He got the first rose! Just to repeat, in case you missed it, Jamie got the first rose of last night’s rose ceremony. Jamie! First rose!

Thank god for small miracles. I’d gladly watch Tall Girl 10 times in a row before I’d want to watch Jamie on a single date with Angie.

2. Angie wanted to see Ciarran out of his comfort zone so they… went on a speedboat ride.

That’s it. That was Angie seeing Ciarran out of his comfort zone. Ciarran, he of the stripping naked, winner of stand-up comedy, is only out of his comfort zone when he is getting his immaculately styled hair wet.

3. Angie wanted Ciarran to show his “serious” side during their wine & dine time because she can’t be with “a jokester” forever.

Ciarran opened up about his childhood and how his mum was constantly moving and dating the wrong guys, so he went to 8-9 different schools and had to make new friends every time.

Angie gets starry-eyed for Ciarran and says that she didn’t think she’d like him as much as she did. She even apologised for judging him too quickly, because under the hair, and tattoos, and the sexual Willy Wonka vibe, there’s a man who can be deep.

Which tbh, puts him forward as a strong contender because he’s the only guy who has been able to show us so far that he can be serious and vulnerable but also funny! (Sorry Carlin and Ryan, but also not sorry. Be funnier?)

4. On the group date Angie popped in with a surprise for the lads… her parents.

“Straight away I recognise both her parents from Instagram,” Jamie, the very normal, chill, relaxed guy told us. He thinks time with Angie’s parents is “vital” because “they may be my mum and dad in the future.”

Half the boys get divided up to go play a game called ‘Truth or Pass’ with Angie’s dad, and the others get to bond with her mum.

In the most beautiful editing we’ve seen so far this season, as the boys told Angie’s dad that Angie needs to watch out for Jamie, we have Jamie earnestly telling Angie’s mum that Angie means “everything to him”.

The boys also told Angie’s dad that they don’t trust Ryan, while Angie’s mum had a lovely old chinwag with Ryan who she even recognised…

OK stop. Let’s hit pause. We were introduced to Ryan as someone who had exchanged ~some~ DMs with Angie. Then last night on their single date, we find out they had been DM-ing for a whole damn year. And not only does Yvie know who he is, Angie’s MUM now recognises him? I’m not great at maths but something definitely isn’t adding up here.

This coincides with Ciarran dropping a little juicy tidbit where he tells Angie’s dad that Ryan has dropped the line “I’m sticking to my story” when he’s been questioned in the house about Angie.

This is absolutely a case now for the Special Bachy Unit. I am not letting this go just yet! But for now, let’s keep moving on because I have a deadline and a bedtime.

5. Angie spends some solo time with her ‘rents to see which dude they loved the most.

There’s nothing like getting your parents involved to help you decide who you should end up banging in the end!

Angie’s dad seemed to think either Carlin or Ciarran could be a good match – Carlin in the “if you want to settle down and have kids” way and Ciarran in the “if you want to travel, have fun, then have kids when you’re 40” way.

As someone who plans to give birth at maybe 53, Ciarran, I volunteer if Angie doesn’t pick you in the end.

He also dropped the bombshell that the guys said Ryan wasn’t trustworthy (which Angie didn’t like!) and that the guys also warned him about Jamie (which Angie was more receptive t0).

And in the understatement of the century, Angie’s mum had this to say about Jamie:

OK “a little bit intense” was the green curry I ate tonight (salmon and veg, thanks for asking). On a curry scale of “a little intense” to “too spicy! too hot! So intense it will burn your tongue off!” Jamie is at the extreme end.

6. At the cocktail party, Ciarran straight-up told Jamie that the boys warned Angie’s dad about him.

Intermission: Jamie at the next rose ceremony

Jamie, up until that point, had thought he was awesome with Angie’s parents so he is shook down to his lil rainbow socks that da boiz would do this to him. “Ciarran says I’m needy,” he lamented. “At times, everyone is needy!”

We are truly all Timm in this moment.

As Angie made her way into the party, Jamie proved he wasn’t needy or clingy by launching himself at her feet like a puppy dog and offering to help her down the stairs and straight into a private chat with him.

Jamie’s mood after da boiz dogged him.

7. The buzz of Jamie’s first rose wore off fast as he spectacularly fucked up his chat with Angie.

Angie asked Jamie why the guys would label him as a stage-5 clinger, and he said and I quote: “I think it’s because I’m too much of a good guy?” Straight away, Angie isn’t picking up what he’s putting down. “Too good… for me?” she asked while Jamie shoved his big, giant, rainbow foot in his mouth.

Jamie then decided to drop the bombshell on Angie that there were probably only “three genuine guys”, in the house for the right reasons (him being one of them, OBVIOUSLY!). Angie grilled him to find out what exactly he meant by that and he backtracked fast. “You’re putting me in a hard situation,” he said.

OK HOLD UP. This is my problem with giant man babies. They dig themselves into these massive holes then blame someone else for throwing them down there with nothing but a shovel and their overwhelming sadness.

“I didn’t think when I dug a hole this big you wouldn’t help me get out,” they say mournfully. It’s like when some fuckwit cheats. “I didn’t think you’d actually break up with me, babe, I love you,” they text somewhere with their hand down their pan-

OK the point is, Jamie is an idiot and Angie isn’t gonna miss a beat here. She told him that she did not put him in ANY kind of bad situation THANK YOU VERY MUCH, he did that all on his own.

As Ciarran stole Angie away, Jamie’s voiceover blamed pretty much every guy in the house for ruining his chance with Angie. Once again, he was an innocent victim, thrown under the bus.

8. Jamie received the last rose of the night and the body language pretty much says it all.

9. But we just needed to point out before we go, the dramatic AF operatic music that sent Glenn out, because of the fact Jamie stayed?!

This is Glenn by the way.

This show is so fkin wild.

Next week: Jamie is on the warpath to right his wrongs and has decided he’s gonna throw the other bros right under the bus, where he was left to die.

Same, Angie, same.
