On this year’s season of The Bachelor Australia – dubbed The Bachelors because there are three men looking for love – Tash Candyce quickly emerged as one of the most entertaining contestants on the show.
First, she revealed to her Bachelor, Jed, that she’d previously been engaged to a former Bachelor (actually, she’s been engaged to two former Bachelors: Michael Turnball and Aggi Guardiani).

Then she told Jed and Felix that Jess – a contestant vying for Felix’s love – is in an open relationship; which angered almost every girl in the Bachelor Mansion. Many of the contestants, particularly Jasmine, felt that it was wrong of Tash to share something quite personal about Jess; especially when Jess planned on telling Felix herself.
Tash outing Jess led to an intense rose ceremony where she, Jasmine and Krystal were caught in a screaming match. And after another heated exchange with Krystal following the rose ceremony, Tash told everyone another secret; that Jasmine had confided in her early on that she had an OnlyFans.
Of course, Tash ended up apologising to Jess but did say to cameras that she didn’t think she had anything to apologise for and only did it so “the hyenas” would back off.
However, Tash’s feud with the other women in the house ended up being too much for her. In tonight’s episode of The Bachelors, Tash, Marj and CJ all left the mansion for good.
The three could be heard saying all the girls are “fake” and they had had enough as they carried their bags out of the house.
Of course, during the episode, Tash explained why she and the other two decided to leave. “CJ, Marj, they didn’t agree with what happened at the rose ceremony. Neither did I . Um, so we wanted to leave,” she said, referencing that Jasmine rejected Jed’s rose but then accepted a rose from Thomas.
But in an exclusive interview with New Idea, Tash shed more light on why she, Marj and CJ left.

“Marj, CJ and I decided to leave; we’d just had enough. I mean, I’d had enough. It just got too much in that house. It was very high school and just very mean, like a lot of things that were coming out of girls’ mouths saying that I should go drown and that I’m a spawn of Satan. I think I achieved what I needed to,” Tash told us.
“I think we had enough at that rose ceremony because Jasmine was still staying in, and so I was like, ‘If this girl stays in, I can’t deal with her anymore’. She was just like a blowfly when you’re trying to eat a main meal. Like those internet browsers that just keep popping up and you’re like ‘close, close’. She was a bit of a virus; I probably shouldn’t say that with COVID at the moment.”
Tash’s departure from the mansion was so sudden that she didn’t say goodbye to Jed; which was extremely surprising as the two seemed close. In the latest The Bachelors episode, Jed even said, “What a kick in the guts. I would not expect that at all. Especially Tash, I mean, we had a single date and yeah, I really liked her.”
We asked why she left so suddenly without talking to Jed first.
“I tried to tell him it was getting too much for me. And, unfortunately, I couldn’t drive to his house, or I couldn’t give him a call to be like, ‘Hey I’m leaving’. So, I did have a bit of a meltdown in the car on the way back to the hotel and, yeah, it was sad cause we obviously did have such a great connection,” Tash responded.
“But, at the same time, I don’t feel like anyone should put themselves through that for love, you know? And if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be; he can contact me.”
