The Bachelor Recap: Jimmy’s Rebellious Hairline and a Starbucks Date Told in 10 Tweets

We’re nearly at the home stretch of The Bachelor, and things are starting to get serious. 

So serious in fact, that stage 10 clinger Brooke is proving just how obsessive she can get.

We all have a sneaky habit of stalking people we’re dating, but most of us don’t admit to it. Brookey on the other hand spilled to Jimmy that she saw sexy photos of him and Lily on the beach and despite signing up to a show where one man dates 23 women, she felt “betrayed”.

Love the vibe of Brooke doing a full Google deep dive through Daily Mail and stuff on her phone while at a funeral #TheBachelorAU

Brooke: "Even though I'm on the Bachelor and signed up for this show where you date 25 other women – I just want to say that now we're so closed to the end, I'm not comfortable with that… unless you're doing that with me" #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/6zM9HQB4Vi

Look, I don’t blame Brooke for sabotaging whatever the heck she has with Jimmy, because at the end of the day, his idea of a Melbourne themed date was serving her sponsored Starbucks coffee.

Yes Brooke, the coffee date is DEFS for your love of coffee and not at all for the @Starbucks sponsorship #TheBachelorAU

Hang on. She's feeling insecure about a girl wrapping her legs around him when literally minutes ago that's what she was doing? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/89sJrtEjdz

Anyway, after talking about her insecurities, Brooke decides to stick it out, because Jimmy is her one true love and her grandparents didn’t give her superpowers for nothing.

After that absolute cringe fest we’re subjected to a woman who claims she’s a “professional face reader” and what certificate do I need to do in TAFE in order to get that gig?

She tells Jimmy he has a “rebellious hairline” whatever the heck that means.

She also claims Brooke is independent which is the precise moment I knew this lady is full of shit because you don’t need to read Brooke’s face to know she is NOT independent.

At the cocktail party, Brooke pulls Jimmy aside and asks him to basically plan his entire life around her as she can’t deal with his gruelling work schedule.

“He works till 11 o’clock and I’d be spending a lot of nights on my own,” she says.

“Like he’s def my soul mate, and my grandpa died and gave me superpowers so that we could be together — but sometimes he finishes work at 11PM so I’m going to burn it all down immediately.”#TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/VVSU1prJst

“You work nights, I work in the morning — from eight till four-thirty. I wanna spend nights with my partner … and I need you to know that.”

But instead of agreeing and rescheduling flight itineraries to suit her schedule, Jimmy unsurprisingly tells her she just has to deal with it.

At this point I’m screaming at Jimmy, begging him to send her home but instead, he decides to torture us a little more and sends Ash and Lily packing instead.

Just said a quite whisper of thanks that tonight isn't a double episode. #TheBachelorAU
