Playing hard to get just doesn’t work on The Bachelorette – and neither does giving Angie Kent an ultimatum, as Mitch Gould found out on Wednesday night’s episode.
WATCH: Angie dumps Mitch after he gives her ultimatum
After his peculiar decision not to turn up to the group date that he’d been invited to by Angie, Mitch decided he’d play hardball and gave her a jaw-dropping ultimatum at the cocktail party.
Angie asked Mitch for a chat, and no sooner had the couple got cosy on the couch, than he dropped a clanger on the 29-year-old.
“All I’m gonna say is, if you can’t see me being there at the end of this. I don’t want you to give me a rose tonight,” said Mitch, ahead of the dreaded rose ceremony.
Angie was having none of it, and fired back at him.
“Hang on. We’ve spent, like, 10 minutes together, and you’re asking me to make that type of decision? What the hell is going on?” she said.
“You’re giving me an ultimatum but you haven’t given me the time to get to know you either. And I can’t have that,” she added bluntly.
“I’ve been single for a long time and I’m happy with who I am and I need someone who really wants to be here for me.”
The writing was on the wall for Mitch, and he was dumped at the rose ceremony after failing to receive a rose.
Earlier in the day, intruder Ryan Anderson had ruffled feathers when he made his first appearance at the group date.
The 32-year-old ‘Aussie Dog Guy’ admitted he and Angie had “history” as rescue dog advocate Ryan once almost asked Angie on a date in the outside world.
“It started as common interest in the rescue-dog scene,” Ryan told a local publication.
“We followed each other on Instagram and there was some banter,” he added.
“I’m an ambassador for an assistance dog charity and they had their gala ball coming up. I planned to ask her to the ball, but in the interim, she announced that she was the new Bachelorette.”
And Ryan decided to enter the mansion to make his play on TV instead!
