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

Bernadette has finally opened Instagram for messages.

inspiringmums    Can't believe the ending! Hopefully Nick finds love when he's ready, shame Brittany didn't win I was hoping for her
mummy_sippy_cup    @inspiringmums I know, she is a beautiful soul. I just love her @brittany_hockley and  @sophie.tieman , they’ve been through a lot and have come out shining.

nayesands    I was and still am team Brooke.. their connection was special
mummy_sippy_cup @nayesands you’re right! I can imagine not many people fall in love in front of so many eyes and given the twists and turns involved. Glad you can see that. He put his heart on the line too. Love xx

Hmmm I’ve listened and read a lot today. It’s very interesting and I’ve got some answers. Interesting that Nick told both the girls that he was always intending on sending Brooke home at F3. I suspect that Nick entered the mansion with the intention of leaving alone. I suspect that he was tempted far more than he expected.

I also rewatched the episode and for someone who didn’t act very well he stacked it on in the finale. There was a point in Britt final date where I thought ‘that’s it he is hook line and sinker’ and then it’s like he snaps himself out of it.

Anywho, his absolute loss. The f4 were all beautiful souls. He was not man enough for them. Britt has said today she is open to Bachette 19. Fingers crossed.

They just had a sneak peak of The Project interview. Brooke is inconsolable poor thing. She feels exposed. Lisa Wilkinson asks Britt if she is still in love with Nick and she pauses, they don’t show her answer. Will be interesting to watch

After watching The Project section on The Bachelor fallout, which included an extra preview of Sunday Project, I believe Brittany is still in love with Nick.
Maybe they will have their happy ending after all - in real life.

I have a lot of trouble with picturing Nick and Britt having a happy ever after ending. Nick isn’t in love with Britt, he has rejected her and thinks nothing of it.

Another good article on news.com.au which has a link to a story about Lisa's Sunday Project interview.

The Bachelor scene that never made it to air

SOPHIE and Brittany have opened up about a scene that never made it to air that makes Nick’s behaviour in last night’s finale even more confusing.

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!"

I have no doubt in my mind Brit has her eyes/focus/wants on the next bachelorette gig. I believe she is a very smart cookie. And I also believe she truly hates Nick as much as she loved him. She will never forgive him the humiliation and she will make him pay one way or the other. She has a Sam Frost vibe in her and I am waiting to see how much a victim she will play to gain public sympathy to obtain the bachelorette gig and probably use her entertainment connections will help...

Nick was a selfish spoiled A$$ and he played the girls. It flattened him to have a harem and considered and played it the same way he picked girls at a bar. He never respected those girls. I personally saw the double face and posted many SC and shared the difference in front cameras and behind the scenes paps pics. It was obvious to me he did not care about Brit or Sophie. The beach scene was in his mind a Hollywood chick movie. He thought he won an Oscar performance I am sure! It was all fake!

The only times, he was himself were when he did not prepare his moves or saying. When he was caught off guard. In front of cameras, he was acting, using the silly funny honey badger persona. I mentioned also that I saw a 23 adult Brooke ready to settle downs abd a 32 kid Nick still keen to trek in the wild until he is 35/40... I still stand on this. I will also add that he has money, footy players generally have girls who love to sleep around with them. He never saw those girls different from the bar girls. I think nick is very jaded and used to do whatever he wants not caring the consequences. I believe this no media show was negotiated carefully. He is a coward. He used the show like Sophie Monk to promote his business, book. His acting was only a macho bad acting he is used to do with the young guys he calls friends. Check his Instagram, you will find pics with him and young men with him in their twenties.... nick is an immature spoiled boy. Period

All the girls dodged a bullet.

Storybook wrote:I was never a fan of Nick’s, so my opinion of him hasn’t changed. I have always thought Nick ended up with no one as this scenario most aligned with his behaviour post filming. After reading what Sophie said about the edit not showing the connection between her and Nick suddenly things made sense to me. TPTB wanted Nick as lead for the ratings he would pull in. IMO Nick was not genuine in finding love, only fame. Nick was  given a kind edit, which is  why many people admire his decision. TPTB threw Britt under the bus and the public didn’t want Nick to end up with her. TPTB toned down Sophie’s attraction to Nick so Nick wouldn’t come over as leading her on. Finally Brooke, she was his ‘get out of jail free’ card. According to her edit she was the one for Nick and when she left he didn’t love anyone else. They even flogged this dead horse when Brooke was brought up in the final episode.
Nick has made some people angry, but those who support him think he has been honest and they admire his decision. IMO he is a coward going AWOL and leaving the women to face the media. And of course TPTB delayed the start of the show to make sure he was away.
Sophie and Britt talking to each other at the end of the episode was IMO the most genuine interaction in Nick’s show and I loved it.

 Well said! Exactly my thoughts too and agree with everything you wrote

  So true about honey badgers. I can't stand those rascals and they're a pesky nuisance in real life. Definitely live alone in self-dugged holes too. Only needed to look up about a honey badger to know this was always going to end this way

I am thinking the opposite.  The way Sophie was talking about wanting to fully enjoy her single life makes me think she will absolutely be on BiP.  And IMO Britt and Cass will go too - I think they'll see it as a fun thing to do together.  

I also thought it was very illuminating the way they were discussing being in lockdown and how there were "5 different guys" being discussed in the media at the time as potential Leads, and they didn't know who it would be.

Cam was the frontrunner back then so IMO many girls would have been hoping/expecting it to be him.  Now, Cam is rumoured to be headed for BiP and if true I think he'll be a massive drawcard (for cast members and audience alike!)

So I expect to see all three of them on BiP.  Brooke is the one I have a question mark over.  IMO she got the most burned and as @Sundy pointed out, being "encouraged" to out herself seems exploitative if the producers knew she was leaving.

I agree (yeah yeah shocking eh? )

However, I believe that Cass and Brit have their eyes/focus/wishes to be the next bachelorette. However, I do not think this will happen unless Brit uses her entertainment connections. Brit is not the rejected F1... she is ONE of the rejectee. Plus she was too pissed off on her way out to obtain real sympathy. Cass, however, gained the title of the aussie sweetheart. Australia has a soft spot for her. Sophie IMO will probably take a leave for BIP but will pursue her career. I do see them all 3 together taking some vacay at BIP and IMO Britt will wait the very very last minute to accept BIP only if she knows she has no chance for the ette gig

Brooke? i am not sure. if they go with a bisexual season, maybe. But she seems to me that she is going to do her things like Elise did. Move on in Perth and just take it as an experience.
