Hilarious reactions to The Bachelor's C-bomb scandal
The Bachelor got very spicy, very quickly last night, thanks to a bombshell profanity that took the nation by storm, and set a new record for amount of time ‘dog c**t’ has been dropped on primetime television.
The filthy phrase might seem at odds with the rose and cocktail dress vibe of The Bachelor, but it was the clear star of last night’s dramatic episode - ruining a cocktail party, fraying nerves and creating a cacophony of beeping sounds that will haunt the hallowed mansion’s halls for seasons to come.
The drama
It all unfolded when front runner, Abbie, paused a hot spa make-out to tell Matt that another contestant Monique had allegedly called him a ‘dog c**t’, and a disrespectful pig.
With the mood well and truly killed, Matt went into overdrive to get to the bottom of the scandal, prompting a fun she-said, she-said that ruined the cocktail party and saw Monique almost lose her place in a tense rose ceremony.
More entertaining than the drama-filled episode however, was the hilarious reactions to the bizarre scandal online.
Celebrities and casual viewers alike flooded Twitter with their hilarious takes on ‘dog-gate’.

At least one dubbed ‘dog c*nt’ the new phrase of choice for the show.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the word dog c*** has now been said more times on this show than the word journey. #TheBachelorAU

Others had nothing but love for the greatest Australian twist on the dating show one could possibly imagine.

Most however, were simply filled with national pride at going where no other version of The Bachelor has gone before.
Where else but Australia can you call someone a dog c*** and still get a rose on national tv? Gotta love this country #TheBachelorAU
— Beebb (@BiancaAkbari) August 14, 2019
No other country in the world would devote this much prime time TV trying to work out who called whom a c***
Bloody proud of Australia #TheBachelorAu pic.twitter.com/36lWauJOa8— Marcus Taylor (@Marcus_Taylor16) August 14, 2019
Honestly at this point the truth of the allegation has been outshone by the number of times the words was dropped on camera.
Matt may have walked out, but his investigation gave us the gift we didn’t know we needed.
The Bachelor Australia continues on Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel Ten.
