While the first episode of The Bachelor Australia brought about ‘Ranga-Gate’, the second would see an intruder take centre stage (but not without some romance in-between, of course).
Predictably, front-runner Bella received the first single-date getting swept away to go sunset sailing with Locky on Sydney’s Harbour.
This was quickly followed by the equally-as-predictable group photo-shoot the contestants undertake early on in the series, which sees some women dressed up to the nines, while others forced to make the most of a costume – in this case, Steph proving she’s got what it takes to woo Locky even while dressed as a dad.
Inevitably, the annual affair brings about the behind-the-scenes drama as the ladies battle it out for the Bachie’s attention. While some stepped on toes to get what they wanted (*ahem* Zoe-Clare), others simply faded into the background.
As always, the people of Twitter sum it up best. Here are the best reactions:

The amount of tears we have already seen across two episodes is surreal. Hell hath no fury like a white person mildly inconvenienced #thebachelorau

That photoshoot was like there’s one piece of pizza left in the pizza box and all the women go to grab it at the same time and then realise they are on a show called “one piece of pizza” #thebachelorau

Can we skip all the toxic stuff and go straight to the zoom dates and watching Locky fall in love? With two people as well… #TheBachelorAU
