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

Vjeff wrote: Many more than Honey Badger have said the same thing though. Seems awfully coincidental that they all say the same time frame.

It’s been repeatedly denied by former contestants, but Nick “The Honey Badger” Cummins seems to have confirmed The Bachelor’s worst-kept secret.

This year’s Bachelor, who infamously dumped both Sophie Tieman and Brittany Hockley in the finale, was speaking to ABC’s Radio National on Wednesday when he cited contractual obligations as the reason why he made the shocking decision.

“I was actually disappointed that people are so brainwashed, you’re not going to get your fairytale ending every time,” the former rugby star said.

“And what’s more important, me just saying ‘yes’ and going through the motions and dragging some girl through all this media about how we’re in love and then three months down the track after the contract’s over, um, we’re allowed to break up.

Cummins made similar comments on The Project in October, after the controversial finale sparked outrage among fans.

“It’s not fair to her. Going down that path three months, only to break her heart,” he said.

“She’d be sitting here now. People would be asking if you’re in love, and it’s like … I didn’t want to lie.”

Meanwhile, Cummins revealed to the ABC that he hadn’t realised prior to signing up for the show that it was an “expectation” that he would emerge from it in a relationship.

Matt showed more emotion about the break up than she did (and according to Osher's tweet, he was crying for a while). What a horrible person she is... I don't ever like to say that about anyone but yes, she was the perfect person to take to F2 as she wouldn't have been capable of feeling heartbreak. jmo!!!

The only way I can describe this moment is complete and utter shock. I was numb. I couldn’t and didn’t want to feel anything. I had felt for weeks that what Matt and I had was real and I trusted him wholeheartedly when he told me how he felt about me. From Hometowns, I forgot the cameras were there. It didn’t feel like we were filming a show at all, it felt like we had this real relationship built in a little bubble of “The Bachelor” and we would be out soon and able to live a normal life. Hearing Matt say “my heart is with someone else” reminded me that we were filming and that Matt had to make a difficult decision, and he did not see in me what I saw in him. I felt silly for ever imagining Matt would love me. It was like emotional whiplash. I was so confused and it felt like I was in a dystopian reality. The second the cameras turned off, I sobbed. I screamed. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t think think this would be how we would end. I spent weeks crying about this relationship that had almost no closure. I still haven’t fully healed from my relationship with Matt, but I know he and the gorgeous woman he is with are happy, and that’s all that matters. #thebachelorau

She was very clearly trying hard not to lose her poop and just save face. What an absolutely awful comment to call her a horrible person because she didn't react to a humiliating televised breakup the way you would. Edit: dunno why it autocorrects to poop...weird.

Reaaalllyy??? I wasn’t aware about that!

@Missnair from what I know it's not true at all and Honey Badger made that up as a joking way because he didn't pick someone (which, just proves you don't have to pick anyone or stay with them and if it was true then prove it Honey Badger - show your contract). It's not the case at all but it's a fun way to get folks talking and doubting.

From everything I have been told, and what I posted during the season, Matt and Chelsie are super happy together and have been seeing each other a ton these last few months on secret rendezvous and because well, they literally live near each other I totally believe what I was told about them being the real deal and how in love they are and the info that was provided to me was as solid as I've ever received so I never had doubts (even when TPTB tried very hard with the limo exits at FRC in the finale ep )

I say these two have as good a shot of lasting as any other of the couples and already living in the same city is a huge indicator of lasting. Every couple that has lasted lives in the same city (whether moving there together like Snez and Sam) and every one that didn't last never moved to the same city to be together and never lasted. Perhaps a double date with the Melbourne couples who have lasted (Sam Snez and Georgia and Lee who have all supported them). Matt and Chels have a great support group and so much in common! They're both ready for that next step in life and genuinely in love and I can see their love growing more and more

For those who are fans of Matt and Chelsie, I created a fan thread HERE for Matt and Chels and I posted a link there where you can watch videos of Matt and Chels from the show which basically are all the moments from the show of only Chels and Matt (every moment from the show they shared beginning to end) and shows their love story as if it's the only thing from the show which is so nice for fans and Matt and Chelsie to see (Osher has liked all of them!)  


Enjoy and what a wonderful season! Looking forward to sleuthing Angie's season when it premieres very soon! Please join us to sleuth Angie the Bette AU HERE
