Unlike Spelling Bee, it's impossible to feel sympathy for anyone involved in The Bachelor. Three local seasons in – and umpteen US ones – no one can go into this without their eyes wide open. Ergo, they deserve everything they get, whether that's a humiliating challenge or the chagrin of one of your opponents out-kissing you. So with that comforting thought we can relax and enjoy the sideshow, which this evening includes Sam turning up for brekkie – before the ladies have done their hair and make-up. Gasp!

A new way to watch The Bachelor: Osher scrambles, roast dinner and WhatsApp

Don't try calling Justine McKenny, Susan Murray, Dan Grieves or Luke Savage on a Wednesday evening. The four Newtown housemates will be busy hosting Bachie Night.
Channel Ten's reality TV program, The Bachelor Australia, is taken very seriously in the shared house where a roast dinner, "bottle of wine or three" and fierce competition in the game of Bachie accompanies a group viewing of each Wednesday episode.
"It started as a bit of an ironic thing to watch The Bachelor last year," explains their friend and fellow Bachie player Tom Anderson, 30. "To make it more interesting we started to have a flutter on who our top three girls would be, and it became Bachie Night."
The Bachelor: relax and enjoy the sideshow.
The group of nine has this season devised a sweepstake and bonus and penalty system, upping the game's ante. Forfeits depend on presenter Osher Gunsberg's outfit or whether a white rose has been given to one of the show's female contestants. For the Thursday episode, Bachie is played out on the group messaging app, WhatsApp.
"The introduction of the rules take it to another level this year," explains brand manager Justine McKenny, 31. Susan Murray, 29, a nurse, agrees. "It gets very tense, we rile each other up."
Now in its third season, the program is outperforming last year, with viewers up by 29 per cent according to Ten and OzTam. With 1.15 million capital city and regional viewers on August 20, the program is well-watched among younger demographics despite being criticised for being demeaning, non-multicultural and about as far from romantic reality as is possible.
"The program is complete trash, it's not quality viewing, but it's fascinating to imagine why these people do this," said Ms McKenny. "And it's an excuse for us all to get together and sit back and throw around our judgements over who Sam's going to pick and who's going to win in the ultimate battle of love. It makes us all into experts in love – which none of us are."
Her money is on nutritionist Bec, "a dark horse who is playing under the radar". With Thursday's loss of Rachel three Bachie players have slid to the bottom of the leader board.
"It's just such a surreal situation that's being played out," she said. "Can you imagine your best friend pashing someone you've just pashed? They cut each other's grass. It's so unbelievably awkward, it makes for fantastic viewing."

Bachie Rules
- $20 a head to enter, winner takes all.
- Each player picks their top three winning ladies after watching no more than two episodes of the show.
- In the event the winning lady was no-one's top pick, the second, then third choices should be used.
- Should presenter Osher appear on the program wearing a bowtie, an Osher Scramble immediately takes effect, whereby the first player to text the words "Ditch the bitch" into the Bachie WhatsApp group has the power to make one change to their top three list.
- Should one of the girls in a player's top three be given a white rose, they are able to make one swap to another player's top three.
