The Bachelorette premiere finally aired, and if you thought Matty Agnew’s season was drama-filled, just WAIT until you delve into the men vying for Angie Kent’s heart.

Just to get you up to date, there was already a major fight.

WATCH: Bachelorette contestants Jamie and Jess got into a major blow-up on the premiere night!

Tonight is definitely a new beginning,” Angie told the camera as she made her way over to the Bachie mansion in a limo.

This is a big deal and I’m taking it seriously. Like, sure I’m a jokester and I’m definitely going to have fun but I’m going to really give it my all. The thought of dating 20 people at once is quite overwhelming.”

Meeting a bunch of guys fighting for your attention is overwhelming, but not just for Angie.

Two of the contestants had already started a fight with each other over their time with her, Firefighter Jamie and Politician Jess.

“The fella running for Noosa mayor… Some of the fellas heard him say, like, if he got a rose, he’d hand it back,” Brad, Angie’s brother told her after going undercover.

“Are you f*cking kidding me?” we (and Angie) replied.

“That’s what I heard. I didn’t hear him say that. Apparently he said that to someone. I didn’t hear it, but yeah. Someone said that if he got one, he’d say no.”

As Angie confronted Jesse, he blamed Jamie for telling on him.

Jamie, why did you tell Angie that I was given a rose and I wouldn’t…I’d say no, I’d give it back to her?”

I never said that… Guys, I’ve had two minutes with Angie all night. Why the hell would I talk about another dude?”

Jamie then started to cry. 

I’m the most genuine guy in here, and for someone to come after me like that, that’s low,” he explained.

“When people don’t trust me, I feel worthless. It’s brought out this negative energy in me that wasn’t even in me… I feel like crying right now. And I did nothing wrong. I put a lot of effort into this sort of process, just for someone to just come and… ..just do that to me and blindsided me. I just got blindsided. You know?”

“I run into burning buildings for a living, and it doesn’t affect me. And then someone tries to manipulate my emotions like that, and… I don’t know. It’s just hard. I’m just pretty upset. I don’t even know how to come back from this, eh?”
