Bachelor Australia Season 6 - Nick Cummins - SM Media #4 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Someone must be working overtime on Nicks Instagram, it’s full of supportive comments, and comments telling off people for being negative and talking about having their time wasted, but there are no negative or time wasting comments on there, they’ve all been deleted

As for whether we'll be seeing them again anytime soon, don't hold your breath, as neither gal is too keen on doing Bachelor in Paradise.

"I'm just not sure if that's me," said Britt.

"The Bachelor was a big step for me personally, and I feel like Bachelor in Paradise is just on a whole other level that unfortunately I couldn’t put myself through," Sophie agreed, before adding: "Can we just put out a great idea that we should do a double Bachelorette next season?! An Australian first! We’re all for that!"

Hmmmm... well that's surprising to me.  Maybe next year then.    

Cass for sure though, IMO.  I also expect to see Shannon. She's already following some of the guys from Ali's season so doing her research, IMO

Phone in one hand, sippy cup in the other.

call me cynical, but that sounds like:

"we're really not into being paid a small stipend per episode, but if you want to negotiate a real $$$ amount, we could share the limelight with each other"


I think the attitude may change if BIP is the only thing available.

Same

It also suggests to me S & B realise neither one of them have the "star power" to pull off a season on their own.  JMO

ETA:  A double Bette would be such a disaster IMO.  I don't think they'd still be friends by the end of it, put it that way!

How brutal was the questioning from her friend but she was spot on. Nick told them that he wanted Brooke to move to Sydney .. that wasn’t going to happen and unless he was willing to move to Perth, there wasn’t anything he could promise.

yes. hometown was the wake up call. When her BFF ask him about logistic he said that "he envisioned Brooke moving to Sydney". My first thought was: why does she has to move? Why not you? You lived with Martine for years in Perth so why that?

After Brooke left, you could see that his confidence was very shaken and perhaps, he was dealing with a broken heart himself. I dont know? It’s clear from what he and his family have said that Brooke was the frontruner, whether he would of chosen her, I don’t know. I hope he will reveal all on the Project. I am wondering if Brooke has many “what if’s” in her mind after last night.

I agree. We did not hear the "I don't know what the F* happened" but after the finale it is clear as day for me it was after Brooke's departure. He made his decision that none of the last 2 would be picked so the sentence does not apply. Also when he had tears in his voice saying "I do not want a girlfriend but a life partner". I think it was recorded at the same moment. He saw Brooke as a girlfriend at that moment because he did not have enough time to fall in love.

There’s no doubt in my mind that he dodged a bullet with Brit. She’s got a lot of baggage, trust issues and the audience saw some not very nice sides to her in the last few episodes .. Soph was truly lovely tho ..

OMG yes!!!!! Brit always made me cringe. She has this coldess in her. She is all warm when she smiles but all of a sudden her eyes go icy. (I captured a couple of SC and that was a mean girl there). I believe that she can be a true B*** . The way she reacted when she left was so very telling versus Sophie. I listened to the interview with kyle and this confirmed me 100% that. She was always jealous of Brooke, for me that was a given. It did not change today. why? because she had to watch like everyone the connection between brooke and nick and she was miles away from this. Not saying he did not like Brit but I believe Bernadette was spot on when she said that sophie brought him the kid in him and Brit the mature but none of them were the full package.... I was expecting the "like Brooke".

I think brit would love to be the next bachelorette but I think people would prefer brooke. instagram is not lying .. 146K today.... brit 74K.

I’m not as cynical and I do think he wanted to give it a red hot go. @HEA I agree with a lot your thoughts esp re Brooke but my opinion of him is different. He is what Aussies would call a larrikin. I’m an expat but lived here for a while .. he’s got a very old school sort of humour that includes rhyming slangs and not a lot of it is PC. As an expat it took me a while to get used to but a lot of my work colleagues are very similar to Nick, so I do get the humour and the personality.

I know others think it’s been a waste of their time but I’ve found this season to be very refreshing - Brooke was open from the start and Nick was at its end. Finding love was never guaranteed for any of the girls while it was the premise of the show for the Bachelor, so I do have a bit of sympathy for him.

You are right. I am not used of the aussie culture. But maybe because I am not at all attracted to him physically, that was harder for me to like him? At times, I did but most of the time I did not.

chailatte wrote:@allaboutlove I hear ya but I still reckon the outcome might have been different, or yes might be exactly the same (except Brooke and Brit in final 2). I do think that Brooke had the insight with Nick’s emotional state. I cannot fault him for choosing not to commit when either he didn’t connect with any of the girls or their timelines didn’t match. I was shocked that he agreed to do the show considering the vulnerable position he’d be put in as the sports culture here is very, very macho .. so I think there was some naivety on his part (it hasn’t always helped people’s brands / profiles).

Yes. I always thought that Brooke and Brit would be the top 2. The prods edited it that way. zoom cameras but also the meet and greet. Prods played very well the forever friendship between cass/brit/sophie and yes from day one they were a threesome and often seen away from the other girls. It was less obvious when brooke was with shannon, emily and jamie lee... but once they all left, brooke was truly alone because dasha was also very close with the threesome. At this point, I belive this is the time when Brooke started to doublethink, miss family etc. She felt very isolated and nick did not give her the signs of reinsurance she needed.

Nick made a fat lie to his family that he let go Brooke when we know that she initiated the move and he stuttered to let her go. SHE left. he did not ask her to leave. Yes there are edits but if you remember the DM pics of her departure, they had a conversation again and the face of Brooke was "no, I am done here, let me go". I am 100% convinced he lied to brit and sophie when brit said that he came back saying they were always both meant to be top 2. big fat lies. He would not have said: this was not in my plans and then few minutes later say something completely different. However, Brit is happy to believe it, same with sophie. It is wayyyyyyyy better to think that way rather than: sorry guys but after brooke departure, you were just there to fill in the last episode.......

I am curious to know who will be the next bachelorette now. I would not be surprise if it is brit as she knows people in the business. Brooke? why not it is a lead bisexual but is australia ready to see 2 girls kissing on their telly?

Well despite his decision, nick is still gaining insta followers. 2k in the last 3 or 4 hours alone.

“There was a scene unfortunately that you weren’t shown which kind of hurts us at the end of the day,” Sophie told Kyle and Jackie O.

“After Brooke had decided to leave, he did come to speak to both of us individually and he said, ‘This is exactly how I wanted it to be.’ He looked us in the eyes and said, ‘It was always you that was meant to be coming with me to finale.’”

Brittany told the radio duo that if Nick really wanted Brooke to stay for the finale, he could have made it happen.

“Nick is just like an animal,” she said. “The man cannot be produced, he cannot be controlled. He makes his own rules.

“I guess it comes down to, Brooke’s such a beautiful human, but … if Nick wanted anyone there, Brooke, Cass, any girl, they would be there. And if he didn’t want someone there, they’re not there.”


Jackie O asked for clarification and said, “He reassured you that he was always going to let Brooke go at that point?”

“He did,” Brittany replied. “It doesn’t make sense if he wanted her there, he wouldn’t have let her walk out.”

In a different interview on radio this morning, Sophie claimed her connection with Nick was even stronger than what viewers witnessed and that The Bachelor producers edited the show in a way that downplayed her relationship with him.

“They definitely held back on my connection with Nick, and Britt’s with Nick too,” she told WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda.

“They started producing it and editing it ... after the ending and so they didn’t want it to look like it was a strong connection.”

Also @HEA he only lived in Perth cause he was playing for western force at the time. If he goes back to rugby, he could end up playing for a team in Queensland. There’s no guarantee he would play for the Waratahs in Sydney so another move is likely on the cards if he goes back to play rugby. But I think he was using this show to try and move out of rugby for good.

“I don’t know if he couldn’t bring himself to speak to me straight away, but for me, he went through my brother,” she revealed, adding “If you’re gonna do this, do it to me. wrote:

Explains the reason Nick was friends with Brit's brother.
