The Bizarre Throuple Antics On ‘The Bachelors’ Retold In Tweets
On last night’s The Bachelors, we entered the weirdest timeline imaginable: one of our Bachys essentially became part of a throuple.
One of Felix’s contestants, Jessica, brought her boyfriend Damien to the group date to meet her other boyfriend. ICYMI: Jessica is in an open relationship, a revelation that came out thanks to Tash.
Anyways, Felix and Damien hung out together, but things got extra awkward when it became clear that Damien was head-over-heels for Jessica; he doesn’t seem that cool with the open relo deal, he wants Jess to choose him instead of Felix.
The entire scene was painful to watch.
It all came to a head when Jess and Damien met up for a date to discuss their relationship. They even passionately kissed at the start of their date. Meanwhile, Felix was on a date with Krystal. OK, what the hell are we watching?!?
Let’s just jump into it, shall we? Last night’s pure chaos of a Bachelors episode retold via the funniest tweets:
On the group date at a beach club (so Gold Coast!), friends and fam are invited and you know what that means? Jessica reunited with boyfriend, Damien, and they embraced for a very long hug.
This is the strangest episode. #thebachelorsau pic.twitter.com/yFomGdlFKU

Back at the mansion, the women are gabbing on about Damien, who apparently is not allowed to date other women despite Jess being allowed to date other men. Hmm, bit odd.
this is why i’d never go in reality tv like what if they set you up like this jesus christ #TheBachelorsAU pic.twitter.com/oW4noad5p8

Felix and Damien meet and it’s super awkward. Damien is grilled by Felix and the other women about what he wants from his relationship with Jessica. Felix ended up fleeing from the table. Big mood.

Damien and Felix chatted one-on-one. Damien revealed he’s in love with Jessica and encouraged the Bachy to dump Jessica so that he would have a shot with her.
Getting the vibe that no one in this trio actually understands what polyamory is #TheBachelorsAU pic.twitter.com/uyLeAXLTGb

I don’t profess to be an expert by any means but I don’t think *any* of this is polyamory???????? #TheBachelorsAu

This episode is gonna pop into my mind at 2am like some cringey uncomfortable paralysis demon #TheBachelorsAU

Jed’s band randomly started playing amid the chaos. Cool! Felix then pulled Jessica aside to share his hesitations going forward with her.
Jed go one single episode without playing the fucking drums challenge #TheBachelorsAU

Back at the mansion, Damien called Jessica on the phone to ask to meet for a “conscious conversation”. They ended up kissing when they reunited before Damien spilled his heart out. Jessica revealed she doubts Felix’s emotional intelligence.
I'm taking a page out of Jessica's book in the future and only saying "mmmm" and "yeaaah" every time a guy opens up to me instead of playing their faux-therapist #TheBachelorsAU

one “horrified confusion” gif just isn’t enough for this episode #TheBachelorsAU pic.twitter.com/BHHXHlquy1

I’ve had enough, we’ve lost an hour and a half of our lives all because Jessica and Damien chose to go on a reality tv show instead of going to couples therapy #TheBachelorsAU
— Trista (@twista202) January 17, 2023
i’m not sure Jess knows what a healthy open relationship is and is actually just that girl from high school who always had a boyf and didn’t know how to be alone #thebachelorsAU
— Tahnee ⚡️ (@ariesbimbo95) January 17, 2023
It’s not even an open relationship, it’s Jess keeping Damien on the back burner #TheBachelorsAU

In other news, Krystal is picked by Felix for a single date. Tilly (aka the girl who Felix has been consistently pashing since the show began) is not impressed and she storms off. On his date, Felix recycles some of the lessons Jessica taught him on their date.
Krystal screaming in the background while tilly has a tantrum LMAO #TheBachelorsAU

Felix: I am hoping taking Krystal on a date will distract me from the Jess and Damien stuff.
Also Felix to Krystal: Yeah, Jessica has been at the Bach pad three times #TheBachelorsAU— Jack Parwata (@JackParwata) January 17, 2023
Thomas chose Jasmine for a solo rendezvous going on a nature walk. They bond over enjoying “physical touch” and it’s too horny for words. They have a cheeky pash.

Well at least we know Thomas’s love language #TheBachelorsAU pic.twitter.com/ivyOr7KiGW

At the rose ceremony, Jessica shares that she is struggling choosing between Damien or Felix. Then to the shock of everyone, Felix gives Jessica a rose and dumps Zara.
Jess, here’s what you need to do: leave the show, dump the boyfriend, and book yourself some sessions with a psych #TheBachelorsAU
— b0rnwithabeard (@b0rnwithabeard) January 17, 2023
so basically in summary, Felix is a fuckwit, Thomas is just after a walking womb, and Jed can't concentrate on anything other than playing the drums, so somehow these men are the perfect depiction of what it's like to date in your late 20s/30s #TheBachelorsAU
