Last night was the premiere of the new season of The Bachelorette, and boy, was it a good one.
Following Richieโs somewhat awkward manner on camera in the most recent season of The Bachelor, Georgia Loveโs media experience as a news reader shined on the small screen, and was a pleasant change!

As usual, the first ep was full of surprises, but here are the most important things we learnedโฆ
1. Georgia Love quit her job AND her career to โfind loveโ
Weโre pretty sure the producers of the show must have pretty much fainted when they found an application with the name โGeorgia Loveโ on it, but it must have been a hard decision for Georgia. That being said, we daresay this is only the beginning of her career really, particularly with her strong media background already!
Maybe not, Georgia, but thereโs plenty of fulfilment to be found nonetheless!
2. First red carpet arrival and potential top three Cameron was in this yearโs Perth Firefighters Calendar
Goodโฆlord.
3. Sheโs a big fan of Dad jokesโฆ
Lee has already made an excellent first impression on Georgia by bringing a donkey for the sole purpose of a pun: โDoes my ass look big in that?โ
But much to his surprise, she hit him right back with oneโฆ
โWasabi!โ
4. But she is NOT a fan of beards.
She practically jumped to shave Clancyโs beard right off.
5. Expensive gifts are not going to win her over, but thoughtfulness just might
Courtney and Carlos had a slightly awkward moment when they realised that theyโd both given Georgia bracelets โ Carlos gave her a Tiffanyโs creation while Courtney gave her a pasta bracelet. However Courtney walked away with the First Impression rose while Carlos walked home, so itโs going to take more than grand gestures to win her heart!
6. Georgia isnโt the only one having a romance on this show!
Aaron and Rhys have struck up a bromance over their sense of humour! Problem is, doesnโt really look like Georgia shares the same tasteโฆ
7. Georgia and Cam are Disney fansโฆlike literally everyone else on this planet
8. Sam is most definitely โThe Villainโโฆbut has a smoulder like no other
In his back story, he led with such charming lines as โI feel intimidated by independent women who donโt need a man
9. Sheโs humanโฆand stacks it just like Jennifer Lawrence
So relatable!
The Bachelorette airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on Channel TEN.
