We’re only three days into the new year, and America is already divided on another hot button issue: shark or dolphin. On last night’s premiere of The Bachelor, contestant Alexis, an aspiring dolphin trainer, arrived in a shark costume but insisted throughout the evening that she was actually a dolphin.

Of course, viewers had plenty to say about this. Below are eight people who are way too invested in this ongoing debate.
This year, be the girl on #thebachelor that’s definitely in a shark costume but won’t let anyone tell her she’s not a dolphin. #confidence pic.twitter.com/4J9pOhBBz4

The fact that America is actively arguing whether a woman is dressed as a shark or a dolphin is exactly the kind of unity this country needs

Saying your shark costume is a dolphin costume doesn’t make it so. Just sayin’. #It’sAShark #TheBachelor #NoDolphinHere #MyWana

She had so many opportunities to actually be a dolphin. She could have been a sexy dolphin. #TheBachelor @viallnicholas28 @chrisbharrison pic.twitter.com/31QT9IYINe
