"Major Year 9 vibes." The best reactions to The Bachelor's hectic cocktail party.

To catch up on all The Bachelor Australia 2020 recaps and gossip, check out Mamamia’s recaps and visit our Bachelor hub page.

As of Thursday morning, I have watched The Bachelor's cocktail party drama approximately 37 times. And I still don't quite...understand it.

The Bachelor is getting more unhinged by the episode and yet...here we are. It's a global pandemic, what are our other options?

Locky Gilbert decorates a cake while answering rapid fire questions. Post continues below video.

We watched as Areeba, Juliette and Kristine broke the cocktail party by coming up with a genius plan to spend time with Locky; by talking to him...together as a..."threesome chat".

Look, not to get technical, but it was a "foursome".

Then, Juliette sneakily slipped Locky a note without the others knowing to tell Locky she's ~not like other girls~ and he gave her a rose.

Cue: DRAMA.

#NoteGate kicked off as Areeba, Kristine and the rest of the women ran around the cocktail party trying to find out whether a note exchanged hands/what was on the note/if Juliette is prettier than them. 

It was a lot, and we simply must turn to the wise ones on Twitter for their reactions. Because they're very good.

Enjoy:

Rules of the bachelor house
1. Don't sit next to people
2. Don't discriminate against the red head
3. Don't give letters #bachelorau #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/qJNRKm3BOX

Areeba's spoiled bratty commentary is the biggest turnoff tobwatch this season's Bachelor. Ugh...can't do it. #TheBachelorAU #bachelorau pic.twitter.com/SblUDZJ9oc

I wonder when Areeba will
carry out all her revenge attacks? She’s got a few notched up now... Are we talking jousting? Rochambeau? Muskets at dawn? #bachelorau

Ahhh, Bachie. Stay classy.

Maybe we'll understand this all better after tonight's episode. But don't count on it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
