There's Something A Little Strange About This Season Of "The Bachelor" Australia
We need to talk about the lack of talking.
This season of The Bachelor is going just swell. We've already been introduced to some great characters like Keira.
I assume there are other women in the house, I wouldn't know.

But it also seems like this season has been omitting a large portion of Richie's main job: getting to know the women.
I mean, in previous seasons of The Bachelor, and in Sam Frost's go at The Bachelorette, we were always seeing the solo dates as a time to get to know the contestants. These moments, plus the times at the cocktail parties, were the few real chances the Bachelor or Bachelorette had to get to know the contestants better, and for the audience to get to know and love these characters too!

So WTF is happening with Richie? We're basically never seeing what he's talking about on his dates.

Remember Richie's recent date with Faith in Episode 4? No? That's because literally nothing happened!!!
It was a James Bond-themed date, and Richie wore a tux on a speedboat ("Is this a yacht?" Faith asked). They were served a martini, then it cut to them having a swim. That's basically it.
