An awkward mistake
The Bachelor is famous for serving up some of the most cringeworthy television moments in living memory, but a the sneak peek of the upcoming season had us thinking this one may knock them all out of the park.
The only lady we meet properly in the promo was Abbie, who unfortunately had a bit of a stumble at the first hurdle.
“So what do you do?” Abbie asked, prompting new Bachie Matt Agnew to tell her that he’s an astrophysicist.
“Ok, I’m a Gemini,” the bubbly blonde replies.
Some fans actually compared Abbie to Sarah's Modern Family character Hayley Dunphy.
“You can't tell me this isn't a Haley scene from Modern Family!” one person replied to which Sarah said: “So true”.
Promo goes viral with 9 million views
The blunder was originally shared to Twitter by Gia with the caption “no words”, and after almost 100K retweets and over 300k likes, it has been viewed almost 9 million times, prompting a global face palm and gaining the attention of other big names as well.
“The Australian Bachelor is life,” Paris Jackson said.
“what do you do?”
“i’m an astrophysicist.”
“oh okay! i’m a gemini”
“um ok i’m a leo”

“It seems Australian blondes are just as smart as American blondes,” another person said.
“Is the Australian accent really that bad?” one asked.
While others started asking for ways they might be able to tune in and watch the Channel 10 series from overseas.

Everyone is confused about the Bachelor’s job
Sadly it seems Abbie isn’t the only contestant a little confused about 31-year-old Matt’s profession.
In a new preview for the show almost every contestant seems to struggle to understand Matt’s job leading to cringeworthy team meeting at the cocktail party.
“What’s the word he says about what he does, it’s such a big word,” one woman says before her and a companion struggle to pronounce the word astrophysicist.
Another girl says it sounds like a “fake job”, while a third tells a producer she doesn’t really understand what his job is, “Am I supposed to,” she asks.
The Bachelor Australia airs on Channel Ten soon.
