We’re often led to believe the series of The Bachelor and Bachelorette are vastly different in their make-up and execution.
Sure, the mansion is the same, the dates are suspiciously similar and the concept is identical, but the real difference, or so we are led to believe, comes in how both men and women grasp the concept and deal with its intricacies.
Because, duh, boys are chilled and can handle it well and girls thrive off drama. It’s not their fault, it’s in their DNA, of course.
For Thursday’s ousted contestant Ryan, he told Mamamia Georgia couldn’t quite grasp the boys’ dynamic and why they tried to band together to give each other as much time with Georgia as they could.
"I found it interesting how Georgia took it so hard – it’s like she couldn’t understand that that’s what we were trying to do."
Although last night it seemed Georgia understood exactly what the boys were trying to do. She just wasn't a fan of it because naturally, she thought the boys should be there for her and not simply for friendship. This is a competition, guys.
More than that, Ryan commended the Bachelorette boys on their ability to work together to ensure they all got as much time with Georgia as possible, saying the girls from The Bachelor couldn't grasp the concept in their own season.

"The girls from The Bachelor wouldn’t do that, because they can’t get their head around that type of concept and for us it just seemed natural to be like a squad and trying to make sure the guy that develops a connection with her is the best guy for her," he said.
Former contestant Tommy agreed, also telling Mamamia the way the men respected each other just came naturally when it came to giving each other sufficient time with Georgia.
"We didn’t use the word bro code, it was just being polite and being a gentlemen," he said.
"There was no bro code, it was just being polite. It just happened like that. Everyone just respected each other, obviously we’re all there for the same reasons."

I can understand why Georgia was upset by Courtney's behaviour - and I genuinely think he just didn't appreciate how it would look to her. At the same time, pretty sure that being that clueless and/or not that into her to start with doesn't bode well... definitely think his days are numbered.
My money's on Cam or Lee for the win - although Matty J is one of the few others who seems genuinely into her and wouldn't be surprised if he makes the top 3 or 4.
I'm really liking Matty J, especially after the trapeze date. Second choice is Lee.
Hmm... this is an interesting one. Now imagine if the Bachelorette was a Megan Fox or Miranda Kerr type, I bet the 'bro code' would be out the door and the boys would be clambering over each other for one-on-one time together.
The fact that the boys are more interested in 'sharing' Georgia around, then desperately wanting time with her, shows they can't be very keen on her.
I think Georgia is gorgeous and lovely, but she maybe doesn't exude that sexiness the boys are after.
Anyway Cam for the win! ;)
Agree! Most of the guys don't even seem that interested in her. I think the final two will be Cam and Lee.
