The Bachelor Australia wouldn’t be complete without a cocktail party showdown, and we’ve been given just that. Abbie and Sogand went head-to-head on Thursday night’s episode after the girls of the Bachie mansion thought Abbie had been “faking” who she was to get ahead in the competition.
On the group date, the girls were introduced to Matt’s good friend Kate, while also getting surprised by their best friends. Getting some inside input into the ladies, the girls go on a one-on-one date with Kate, who got to decide in the end who got a coveted rose.
In the end, Abbie and Sogand’s difference come to a head at the cocktail party. We’ll let the good people of Twitter summarise what exactly went down – but one thing’s clear, everyone is torn on who’s side to take.
Below, the best reactions to Thursday night’s episode of The Bachelor.

I couldn’t trust any of my friends or siblings to do this.

3 minutes in and they’d be talking to the camera about the time I accidentally pissed myself at Coles. #TheBachelorAU

#thebachelorau I've studied exactly 4000 billion hours of reality tv and Sogand is right. Abbie is very performative for the cameras
