Australia just witnessed a man forget how to speak and we have never felt more uncomfortable in our entire lives.

Except for, well, last night when Ivan gyrated all over Tenille in front of everyone.

Tenille finally let the terrifying 8-foot (ish) wall of flesh that is Ivan down as gently as possible and we were… afraid for her.

But instead of jumping up and down and causing an earthquake in Paradise, his response wasapproximately eight years of silence.

Pls, Channel 10, some sort of music here would have been greatly appreciated. (And not the twinkly heartbreak music that followed which hedefinitelydid not deserve).

It was all very awkward.

This was our thought process during their tense conversation:

“From my point of view we need to sort of call it off.”

Silence from Ivan.

Sweetie.

Say something.

Please God say something

“Any questions or…?”

No.

Silence.

This is really uncomfortable.

… Ivan no compute.

It was all followed by some very poorly-executed fake crying in a hammock with a skewiff cap and if we’ve said it once, we’ll say it again:they’ve all seen far too much sun.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

#bachelorinparadiseau Ivan is the guy who keeps sending you dms when you never reply.

Ivan: I don’t know where this is coming from for Tenille, I just don’t get it

Tenille: I NEED SPACE, YOU ARE LITERALLY SUFFOCATING ME

Ivan: so confused #BachelorInParadiseAU

HOW IS IVAN CONFUSED? SHE LITERALLY TOLD HIM SHE WAS SMOTHERED, LEAVE HER ALONE, GIVE HER SOME SPACE, DON’T BE SO CLINGY #bachelorinparadiseau

I cannot emphasise how much I do not care about Ivan’s feelings. #BachelorInParadiseAU

I wonder whether there’s a danger that a hellmouth will open in Paradise, given the presence of Bill, Ivan, and Daniel in such a small space. #BachelorInParadiseAU
