Strap in everyone, tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette promised some epic drama and it… gave us a little bit, I guess.

Back in the days, things erupted when words like “dog c*nt” were dropped, or someone called Tenille would sprint down the driveway in a bid to escape the mansion prison, dress flowing out behind them.

On Brooke’s season, things have generally been a little more wholesome. We fawn over Machine Gun Konrad. We’re already designing invites to Brooke and Holly’s wedding. We judged Kurt too quickly for looking like Timm Hanly before realising we wanted to curl up inside his brain and go to sleep. We’ve waited desperately for Brooke and Jamie-Lee’s first date, and tonight we finally got it!

So, things started off romantic. Brooke and Jamie-Lee went on a date to Sydney Tower Eye and broke the world record for the longest kiss on a TV show, nabbing the title from Sam Wood and Nina Rolleston, who set the record previously in 2015 on The Bachelor. Not only did Brooke and Jamie-Lee smash the record — making it to five minutes not breaking the kiss — they had to do it all while Osher and some random man watched. Romance!

Things took a turn on the group date when our favourite human lie detector Steve came back to suss out the remaining contestants to see who was there for pure reasons. Under the intense gaze of the lie detector, Kurt broke, telling Steve that Ryan had a thing for Jamie-Lee.

This later kicked things off at the cocktail party, with Brooke confronting Jamie-Lee about her friendship with Ryan and questioned her as to why Jamie-Lee hadn’t mentioned Ryan’s crush on her. Jamie-Lee was a sobbing mess, saying she thought they were just friends and didn’t think it was anything worth mentioning.

While Brooke believed Jamie-Lee, she then decided to kick Ryan out. Goodbye, Ryan! We barely knew ye.

Here’s episode 6 of The Bachelorette summed up via the best tweets.

Brooke and Jamie-Lee broke Sam Wood and Nina Rolleston’s record for longest kiss, staying glued to each other’s lips for five whole minutes.

They then had a nice chat about their feelings, and exchanged more kisses.

On the group date, Detective Steve was back to suss out everyone’s body language and catch out who was lying to Brooke.

Kurt dropped that Ryan’s eyes may have been wandering, but that he didn’t think Jamie-Lee’s feelings were reciprocal.

Jamie-Lee started freaking out at the cocktail party while everyone waited to see what went down.

Brooke and Jamie-Lee then had an intense chat, which ended up with Jamie-Lee in tears.

Ryan was booted. Oh, and so was intruder Jess.

I think we can all agree this episode lacked a significant amount of Konrad.
