The Bachelor Nick on "the girl that got away"

The Honey Badger has been slammed. - by Jessica Bosco
  • 08 Oct 2018

Last week's shocking Bachelor finale which saw Nick Cummins walk away without a winner, leaving finalists Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman - and Australia - heartbroken and wanting answers.

Shunning the usual post-show media circus, Cummins gave just one interview to The Project, instead opting to flee the country (dramatic much?) and get as far away from the public eye as he could in Papua New Guinea on the Kokoda Trail.

Well, the interview aired last night, and while many of us were hoping for some closure, and a little understand about what went down, most of us were just left feeling empty.

“It hit me with a fair bit of a thunderbolt. It was just like, you know what? Out of respect to these women, if I can’t stand here and say ‘I’m picking her and I love her,’ why would I start something with someone?” he said.

Cummins struggled to explain his decision, saying all came down to "timelines".

“So timelines you can have, you can think you know what you want, and then someone comes into your life and your view of what you thought you wanted gets absolutely blown out the window,” Cummins said.

“Why would I go in and start something that has a high potential of three months down the track breaking her heart, you know? I’d rather make a very hard decision then at that point to save a big scar on the heart later.” It's called a relationship Nick.

When pressed by Lisa Wilkinson about Brooke Blurton, who walked out on Cummins when he refused to give her any reassurance, he hinted that there were definitely deep feelings there. 

“The eyes don’t lie... there was something left unsaid, there were a lot of emotions left swirling around. She got away in that regard,” he admitted.

Despite admitting that he had hurt the final four girls with his decision, Cummins says he has no regrets about his time on the show.

“No — as far as I had control, I wouldn’t do anything differently,” he said. “From what was in my grass, I’m happy.”

And then, in possibly the most awkward moment of the whole interview, Cummins message to the girls was that if he ever runs into them he'll "buy them a drink for old times sake".

Well, needless to say, the fans weren't happy, and many took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the awkward interview...
