At least now that odious Jess is gone we can just expect normal drama: people leaving the show over silly costumes, breaking the bro code, giving clinger confessionals and wearing shoes without socks.
Tonight there’s a date involving rescue dogs and tomorrow BFF and fellow Goggleboxer Yvie shows up – yay.
Angie’s season of The Bachelorette starts on Wed, Oct 9 on Ten.
Usually it starts straight after Bachie but this year we got breathing space so Ten could show The Masked Singer (and not be up against The Block).
I am hopeful for a season without hours devoted to whether someone called the supposed object of their affections a dog c***. And I am predicting much less dry humping.
I’d love to see a Bach date where they do barefoot bowls, get Maccas drive through, go shopping at IKEA, have to buy Christmas gifts for a local charity etc. fewer sports cars and more real life.
Can we just get this over with already so we can get to the inevitable implosion?
On Wednesday: Home towns are around the corner and Ali needs to make some tough decisions. At this stage, who does she have chemistry with, and are there any solid connections?
On Thursday: Sharing special moments with two Bachelors on their home soil has Ali on cloud nine, however, on the final two home-town visits, not all goes to plan.

Let’s hope Ten goes back to casting nobodies as leads next season.
Tonight Ali decides between Bill and tradie/dancer Ivan.
And tomorrow …well I have no idea but let’s say it’s a ridiculous group challenge and Ali pashes three guys.
How many of these guys are Insta creations seeking roles on Home & Away?
Are you finding Ali’s appearance strangely mesmerising?
Ten have cruelly given Ali Oetjen only two blokes who are older than her.
What are the odds the 20 somethings will be ready to have babies with her?
Let’s hope our expectations of another lacklustre season are not met.
The first episode goes for 100 minutes.
Hooray! Sophie’s here! I’m hoping for a season with far less pashing on than Matty’s Bachelor season.
We get a 90-minute premiere tomorrow and tomorrow night 70 mins for the first date.
(Matty’s first date was with Elora, and we know who that turned out. Georgia Love’s first date was with Jake, the tall, dark, brooding chap. Sam Wood picked Sarah. Umm, was she the blonde one who made final three? Sam Frost chose Dave the plumber and Richie picked Nikki.)
Interview with Sophie here.
One of the contestants is professional polo player Bingham Fitz-Henry, 25. Do we think this is his real name?
The Bachelorette Australia screens on Ten, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7.30pm.
There’s a new promo for Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette Australia. Last year Ten screened Georgia Love’s season straight after Richie picked Alex (ah, one out of two ain’t bad) and it’s likely they’ll do the same again.
Before we know it it will be Matty’s turn to break someone’s heart – the only question is whether that someone will then be cast as The Bachelorette in 2018. And then, subsequently, Hell’s Kitchen Australia.
Australia, let’s find Sophie somebody to love. #BacheloretteAU, coming soon to TEN. 🌹 pic.twitter.com/8OKOn6Dvgj
