Bachelor Australia - Matt Agnew - Season 7 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #3

'It completely messed with me': The awful trick Matt and Bachelor producers played on Abbie

The moment the astrophysicist, 32, revealed to Abbie that his ‘heart belonged with someone else’ - chemical engineer Chelsie McLeod - an outpouring of sympathy and support for the fiesty Gemini began online.

Many, including Aussie comedian Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, took to social media to slam Matt for making Abbie believe that she was ‘the one.’

And now, in an exclusive chat with Yahoo Lifestyle, Abbie reveals that yes, she trusted that she’d be standing next to Matt in the finale, largely because of his behaviour when the cameras stopped rolling.

Abbie ‘led on’ by Matt and producers

“Our date was actually the day before the finale, it was the opposite order of how it was shown [in the episode],” Abbies reveals.

“So I was with him at 11, 10 [pm] the night before”, she says, adding that Matt gave her no reason to expect he wouldn’t choose her.

“He was completely fine with me, he didn’t back off at all,” she explains.

“We were kissing off-camera, we were having cute moments off-camera, he was being his normal self,” she goes on.

Not only that, but the crew behind the scenes also led her to believe that she had it in the bag.

“All of the crew were like, ‘you’ve got it,’ not just the producers but like everyone, and everyone was like, ‘he’s obsessed with you,’” she says.

‘It messed with me’

Twelve hours later, Matt had seemingly changed his tune, choosing Chelsie, 28, instead.

“I did feel a little bit led on and that’s why I said to [Matt] ‘you shouldn’t have done that off-camera last night... because talking to me off-camera completely messed with me’,” Abbie reveals.

“Like if he hadn’t have spoken to me I would’ve been like, ‘cool, I know’,” she adds.

“And the on-camera stuff, like, I understand how the show works but the off-camera stuff made me pretty upset,” she says.

Some points:
1. She said watching it back wasn’t that hard because she’d watch it with a lot of her friends who would talk loud and make it fun
2. She said that she never thought it was her, she said she doubted herself even though they were great together, also cause she wasn’t good infront of the cameras and would get quite nervous
3. They asked Matt if late had said she liked Abbie at the meeting in the last episode would it have changed anything, he said no because he knew already what was happening and who he wanted
4. Matt said his parents are just really private people so that’s why they didn’t come to SA, but they talked to them last night and there happy
5. They said they just want to do normal stuff, there gonna be working and then once they’ve got some holiday time off from work they’ve got some trips planned
6. Chelsie said she talked to abbie throughout because she just felt like they needed to support each other as there the only ones who knew the experience

Though I am not a fan of Abbie, I feel for her. The producers actually played her. Those tears are genuine imo. Hope they all have a normal life ASAP!
