Former Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise contestant Megan Marx has engaged in what has become a post-reality-show-ritual of an Instagram Q&A.

Predictably, her followers had many questions about the Bachelor franchise. But rather than shy away from the curiosity, Megan provided her candid answers.

Heading to her Instagram on Monday, Megan, 32, implored her followers to ask her anything. And that they did.

The first question was whether the reality alum had any regrets about going on The Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise, to which the 32-year-old confessed she did.

“For sure, I’ve got loads of regrets. Not necessarily going on the show, but people I dated, the things I did after that I wish I hadn’t done. I think it’s bullsh*t when people are like ‘No regrets, I’m amazing’.”

Megan went on to clarify that she is happy with how life has turned out, but if she could go back and change things she “probably would”.

Another curious follower queried as to whether Megan thought The Bachelor series was outdated.

“Seeming to be that way, isn’t it?” she replied, before explaining why she thinks the reality show isn’t resonating like it used to.

“I think there’s a problem with casting, for me, which is why we’re not so interested any more. I certainly haven’t watched the latest Aussie ones.”

The influencer, however, did go on to praise Brooke Blurton as the first bisexual Bachelorette and say she was looking forward to watching her season. 

Megan first hit our screens during Richie Strahan’s season of The Bachelor. Despite being a frontrunner, she decided to leave the competition during a rose ceremony.

“I just can’t fall in love in such competition and intensity,” Megan said.

After leaving the show, Megan went on to date fellow Bachelor contestant Tiffany Scanlon, as well as Bachelorette alum Jake Ellis – but both relationships weren’t to be.

In her Q&A, Megan did however reveal that she is currently dating someone, so it looks like she’s found some happiness away from the reality shows.
