Honey Badger appears to confirm secret Bachelor ‘contract’

Although fans have long speculated that Bachelor and Bachelorette couples must adhere to a strict "3 month" contract following the show's finale, Nick 'The Honey Badger' Cummins has seemingly confirmed the franchise's worst-kept secret. 

This years Bachelor, who sensationally dumped both Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman in an emotional finale spoke to ABC's Radio National on Dec. 4. and cited "contractual obligations" as the reason behind his shock decision.

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

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.

“I’m not going to drag them through that rubbish…and break her heart. Bugger that," he stated.
