Twitter users have praised Bachelor in Paradise after female contestants Alex Nation and Brooke Blurton share a passionate kiss on last night’s episode.
The show is in its second week, and while both women have have also had connections with male suitors, Alex chose to use her date card to take out Brooke.
“I know exactly who I want to take on this date,” Alex said to camera.
“Some people aren’t going to be happy, there could be a target on my back because I’ll piss a lot of people off.
“I am so attracted to Brooke. And I feel like we both have something there and we need to figure that out.
“She’s such a little hottie, she sucks me in. Her eyes just draw me right in.”
Sitting on a sofa together, Brooke and Alex didn’t hold their feelings back.
After the kiss, Alex added, “Holy s–t, this chick! The energy is just so intense. We feel it from head to toe. It gives you goosebumps.”
Brooke said to camera, “Alex Nation is absolutely stunning. I’ve got a little bit of a crush on her.
“I really wanna explore what we could have away from the chaos in Paradise.”
Twitter users shared their excitement at Alex and Brooke’s date, which was a genuine LGBTIQ moment – after some false starts – on one of the highest-profile TV shows in the country.

I wasn't buying the whole Brooke and Alex Nation thing, but they begun talking about their feelings & thoughts & kept going back and forth and having lots of cuddles. As a platinum lesbian card carrier, I can official say, legit. #bachelorInParadiseAU #LGBTQ
