People Are Losing It Over This Woman Using a Fake Accent on 'The Bachelor'
The Bachelor hasn’t even started yet, but one contestant already has the Internet’s heart: Brianna, or “Bri” for short. The model, whose worst dating fear is “farting too loudly” (relatable), adopted a fake Australian accent for her first meeting with suitor Colton Underwood. 2019 is officially the year of the scam, people, and Bri is the mascot.
Here’s what happened: In a teaser for the Bachelor‘s first episode, we see Bri exit her limousine to hug Colton for the first time. She’s fully committing to this Australian accent and Colton asks her, “Where are you from?”
That’s when the brilliance really jumps out. “The accent, it’s Australian,” Bri says. “I was hoping you’re kinda a sucker for accents. I didn’t know what you’d think about it.” Colton’s response? “I love it.”
Notice how Bri technically doesn’t lie here. All she says is that the accent is Australian, not that she is. “I’m not really Australian,” Bri later says in an interview. “But you have to do what you can to stand out.”
Every single person who’s ever attempted a fake accent is shaking. Ross Geller in that Friends episode where he pretends to be British? Canceled. Kristen Wiig’s rendition of Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones? Never heard of it. Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, and Margot Robbie are stunned!

Naturally, people on Twitter are living for this deception. “I might watch The Bachelor for the first time ever just to see how this unfolds,” one person tweeted, but be warned: Once you join Bachelor Nation, there’s no going back.
