The Bachelor 2020: Juliette’s revealing cocktail party dress

Among the tears, champagne and drama of Wednesday’s confusing cocktail party, one Bachelor star’s gown had viewers very distracted.

Wednesday night’s bizarre Bachelor cocktail party was a confusing watch.

But one aspect of the episode made it even trickier to keep up with the unfolding cat fight: a very distracting green dress.

Contestant Juliette, who earned the ire of Roxi for merely speaking to Locky at the party, rocked a green formal gown with a plunging neckline, leaving viewers unsure where to look.

As Juliette sashayed around the cocktail party, batting off accusations of conniving behaviour, her daring dress looked at risk of revealing a little more than she bargained for – and far too much for the timeslot.

Speaking to the Survivor Bach Locky, Juliette had said – in a similar sentiment to her secret note to the reality star last week: “I’m always in my activewear. I love to be outdoors. And so, I was, like, ‘I just want Locky to see me not in a dress, not with my boobs out.’.”

As viewers pointed out, she was moments (or a gust of wind) away from having them out entirely:

Didn't Juliette say she wasn't a dress up type of girl? A dress like that doesn't scream "I don't normally wear dresses" to me. #TheBachelorAU

Juliette in that dress, my areolas could never #TheBachelorAU

Meanwhile, other viewers were simply perplexed by the structure of tonight’s episode, which seemingly left out a chunk of the storyline.

During the cocktail party, Roxi was inconsolable as she claimed Juliette was spreading rumours about her, but given the basis of her worry came from thin air, fans wondered whether a prior conversation hadn’t made it to air.

“She’s doing it because she’s mad that I came back with a rose and now I’m a threat, and now she’s making up wild things about me,” Roxi had deduced from Juliette’s beeline to Locky as he arrived at the mansion.

“I don’t want to spend my night thinking, like, ‘Are you just sitting there just running my name through the mud?’,” she said through tears.

Over on Twitter, fans couldn’t keep up:

Not sure why everyone’s confused about this clear-cut beef? Yes, Roxi got alone time and a rose, but Juliette had the AUDACITY to breathe under a half moon on the third Thursday, thus triggering Roxi’s upset and a conspiracist chain reaction of whispers #girlpower #TheBachelorAU

I am honestly so confused. Have we missed the lead up to this Roxy/Juliette beef? WHAT HAPPENED??? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/ygnoxYo01S

Serious, genuine question: Why is Roxy SO MAD at Juliette because I still have no clue? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/w0yC00HKy1

If I understand correctly, there must be some kind of “plan” because Juliette talked to Locky? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/12JPbwJCAB

Filming of The Bachelor was forced into lockdown as COVID-19 restrictions hit in March, with future episodes to take place at the contestants’ homes via video dates with Locky.

So far, many episodes have featured prolonged cocktail parties following dramatic infighting between contestants, with last Wednesday’s an episode-long rose ceremony.

Some viewers have commented that the overly-catty season has been enough to make them switch off early.

Am I the only one over the drama of this season? I just want to see Locky fall in love with a touch of drama. Not the other way around. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/XO4OdwhFMq

This is the worst season of #TheBachelorAU

— ThisisRay (@RayThisis) August 26, 2020

This season is unbearable. I can’t believe a show based on manufactured drama can have too much manufactured drama #TheBachelorAU

The Bachelor continues Thursday night from 7.30pm on Channel 10.
