What Happened on the 1st Group Date in Episode 2?

Devin , who was an early standout, was one of the men chosen to go on the very first group date of the season at Queen Victoria Market. Jenn took the guys shopping, and they also enjoyed some food, including Vegemite and kangaroo testicles. Devin pulled Jenn away during the group date to have some alone time away from the other men. Needless to say, all of the other guys were upset by the gesture.

Devin and Jenn got some gelato before the rest of the group intervened. They then went to a stand-up comedy show. It came as a surprise to no one when the men were told to go on stage and perform a roast. All of the guys made jabs at Devin during their roasts but he took their shady comments on the chin.

Aaron and Devin got into a bit of a spat at the group date, but the kicker was that Aaron called him by the wrong name during the argument. Aaron went to talk to Jenn, with Devin interrupting them by bringing in an ice cream cart. Aaron declared that he felt "peeved" and "disrespected." He later went and interrupted Devin and Jenn's conversation. To return the favor, Devin then went and interrupted Aaron and Jenn's conversation. The pettiness was out in full force during episode 2 as the drama continued to sour the rest of the night. Jenn gave Grant the group date rose amid all of the bickering.
