Makes sense too - I think Nick would be good with kids (loads of fun, doesn't take things too seriously but also family-minded).

Yikes  

SPOILER ALERT: Bachelor contestant Dasha Gaivoronski reveals her 'mental health struggle' after being dumped by Nick Cummins and admits she 'didn't want to leave the house'

It turns out being a contestant on The Bachelor Australia wasn't quite the fairy tale that Dasha Gaivoronski expected it would be.

The 32-year-old single mother, who was pictured on a date with Nick Cummins in March, claimed this week that she struggled emotionally after leaving the show.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the personal trainer revealed she was experiencing 'mental health' troubles after being sent home half-way through the series.

...

'Producers allowed her two or three phone calls a week with [her son] Leon,' a friend said.

'But she still struggled and found the whole experience quite overwhelming – a lot of the girls did. She's dreading watching it back once it airs and reliving all the highs and lows.'

^^ I wonder if this is pre-emptive that Dasha will be involved in a lot of drama during the series. Putting out a reason as to why she acted certain ways before everyone sees it. Maybe she's this season's villain?

Yes it does seem that way doesn't it.  Potential villain for sure (I am reminded of the Russian girls from MKR - also cast as villains. What is this, a 1980s James Bond film?!)

I'm surprised she was allowed to say she was "sent home half way through the series" - that seems like WAY too much of a spoiler.  Below is the IG post where she talks about mental health issues.  She doesn't specifically mention the show so there must be more to the story and/or she blabbed to DM for them to make that association IMO.

Call me crazy but her "OMG I let myself go SO BADLY on the show and am now a hideous fat beast" pic on the right looks hardly any different to her "I'm hot again" pic on the left.  Methinks there may be some other mental issues going on here.  So many contestants on this show seem to have warped body/self image; it's quite sad really.

Don't care for her at all. Intermittent fasting? Training six days a week? I'm sure it's more intense than what I do at the gym. Most women would love to have her "crappy" body. Can't relate to this. I suspect I will find her annoying.

That was my first thought too, she’s aware that she’s going to be presented in a negative way, and is trying to take control of the narrative before it happens. I can see her either being very cold, ice princess, not here to make friends, or violently hot tempered screaming banshee. Or maybe both?

Well, good luck with that love! Very few people actually pay attention to preseason rumblings on the Bachelor, but once the season starts it’s game on, and whatever she’s given them to work with they will hang her out to dry with.

Dare I say it: classic Russian.    (We have Russian links in our family heritage so I can say that - with love of course )

I totally agree.  Who has time for these 6 weekly gym sessions in the first place?  I guess that's the life of an "influencer".

Nick's face after meeting Dasha is priceless.

There is certainly a cuteness about him....but not your typical Bach kind.

Definitely seems to be some obsessive dieting/warped body image issues here IMO. Hope going on the show didn't mess her up even more.

Wow, Dasha has over 300k followers. She’s a workout guru or fanatic
