Oh dear. While some dudes might be envious of Australia’s most Aussie bloke, Richie, having 19 insanely attractive women throw themselves at him – I’m definitely not.
Because what’s the downside of 19 insanely attractive women throwing themselves at your schlong? Having to reject 18 of them, and then sending their rejected (sometimes angry/heartbroken) souls into a world where they are asked what you smell like.
Take last night’s rejectees, Mia (tall, tan, brunette) and Laura (one of the many blondes), for instance.
LISTEN: Did you hear our Bach Chat team covered the first, mind blowing premiere? (Post continues…)
Speaking to NW Online, Mia described Richie as “very different to what I usually go for”, adding she gets heart flutters for “someone who’s tall, dark and handsome” and that “[Richie] was the opposite of that”.
Richie’s a blondy, sure, but I dunno about being the opposite of tall and handsome.
Describing her group date with Richie as “really awkward”, the former NSW athlete says she really didn’t care about being sent home. In fact, when Vintaea walked out in the first episode, the now-student thought “Do I go with her?”.
“I was fine! I wasn’t really feeling it,” she told the publication. “And I don’t think Richie was really feeling it… There’s no hard feelings. I didn’t really mind. I was kind of ready at that point to go myself. There were no hard feelings.”
Laura also spoke to NW, and explained Richie’s stint on the 2015 Bachelorette made the experience feel “really regimental”.

Yeeeessss. The old "saving face routine"- "I didn't like him anyway". To be sure ladies. There is nothing worse that cattiness. It's so predictable but it's just not classy (not that there is anything classy about 22 women competing for one guy- the whole situation is desperate). Enjoyable for the viewer, but desperate none the less. Laura did not in any way appear to be "laughing" in the rose ceremony- she appeared desperate to get a rose. Mia cried when she left- yet now apparently neither of them cared a jot! Whatever you say.
