"This is... so inaccurate." The best reactions to The Bachelor's incredibly awkward Zoom episode.

Well then.

It turns out The Bachelor 2020 is living proof that absolutely no one enjoys Zoom calls.

After spending the last few months shouting "YOU'RE STILL ON MUTE" and "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU" at our computer screens, it's time for The Bachelor Zoomchelor contestants to experience the fresh hell that is video calls in lockdown.

Watch The Bachelor's Locky Gilbert decorate a cake while answering rapid-fire questions. Post continues below.

On tonight's episode of the reality show, Locky and the contestants reconnected over a series of video calls while Osher hung out at the Bachelor mansion... alone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

We saw a single date involving a bubble bath, a drama-fuelled onesie-themed group date, and even an awkward virtual rose ceremony.

But besides the overall strangeness of the entire ordeal, there was something else we couldn't help but notice.



You see, compared to our lockdown experience, tonight's episode was wildly inaccurate.

Let's be honest here, a) no one wore makeup for Zoom calls, b) no one wore pants for Zoom calls, and c) absolutely everyone had at least one partner/parent/pet/housemate interrupt an important video call.

This. Is. So. Unrealistic.

Listen to Mamamia's daily entertainment podcast, The Spill, below. Post continues after podcast.

So without further ado, here's how Twitter reacted to the awkward (and highly inaccurate) virtual dates on The Bachelor Australia:

Why do I feel so fine about one guy dating lots of girls who all live in a mansion together but not OK about him callinf and texting them all at the same time in normal life?! #TheBachelorAU you have officially ruined me

Seeing Bachelor people just... using their phones? Insane. Unheard of. Absolutely does not compute. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/RU8oLflPry

How on earth do they have such nice houses?! If I was on this show at their age I'd be trying to fight my housemate for the kitchen, tripping over second hand furniture and too broke for art or decorations. Live plants, seriously... #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/29ILv56jCQ

What sort of ridiculous zoom meeting crap is this anyway...where is the person with the blurry cam that breaks up and the one with shit all over their room and the one where their dad walks through the background in his dirty white underwear....so unrealistic! #TheBachelorAU

I mean "going home" just means evicting a camera man from your house during a pandemic, so not so bad I reckon #TheBachelorAU

The fact that they're making Locky play-act handing out roses is HILARIOUS to me. #TheBachelorAU

Whoever didn’t get picked has to take their rose and slam the lid of the laptop on it. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/Amyu9wPAQ8

Is anyone else shocked at how well the NBN is coping with this virtual rose ceremony? I’m floored. #TheBachelorAU

Good virtual whispering.
