FINALLY!

Following Monique’s C-word drama to end in her being walked off the show, finally, The Bachelor Australia is giving the people what they want.

Sorry, Elly, we’re not talking about finding true love (though after your second date – we’re betting you’re in with a hot chance!)

We. Want. Drama.

And queen lips Rachael Arahill is giving it to us in spades.

WATCH MATT CONFRONT RACHAEL ABOUT HER CHEATING WITH A SHOW PRODUCER.

Rachael is caught on camera telling fellow villain Abbie that she thinks “it’s too far in for me to play catch-ups” when it comes to getting Matt’s heart.

She then drops: “Like, obviously, I mean, I’ve got a plan B.”

“I’ve got a little bit of a schoolgirl crush on a crew member. I’ve been giving him some winks here and there. And, yeah, so I thought he could be my plan B. Everyone’s got one. He’s like your ideal guy, so, like, obviously I’m going to not miss the opportunity to try to pursue something with somebody.”

“I think my plan B is more my cup of tea because it’s a smart goal. You know, specific, measurable, obtainable, realistic, good-looking, nice, funny, he lives near me. (LAUGHS) So, I’m definitely gonna hook myself up with him. Hopefully, he doesn’t lose his job.”

Our real question: For a show that has so many cameras…

WE WANT VISUALS ON MR CREW MEMBER.

STAT.

The people’s hero Mary decides she needs to tell Matt that some of the girls didn’t sign up to the reality tv show for everlasting love.

I wanna tell Matt the truth. I know, it’s scandalous. I know, I know.”

“Bye, bitch.”

At the cocktail party, she tells Matt the truth.

There’s one girl in the house, and she’s actually interested in someone in the crew. I’m talking about Rachael. She…yeah, she’s actually interested in this other person, and, you know, she asked for his surname and things like that, trying to get his phone number. So, I don’t want to go home because I really like you and, you know, someone that’s not interested end up staying.”

Matt said, “I’m not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea…”

A producer confirmed: “Yeah. Um… Rachael has handed her number to a crew member.”

Matt shared, “One of the reasons I’ve kept Rachael here is because I really appreciate how honest she is, but this goes in the opposite direction of that.”

MATT’S ENTIRE SHOWDOWN WITH RACH:

Matt says, “OK, if you’re not interested, and you’ve got your eye on someone else, then that’s fine. “

“My head is not so far up my arse that I think 28 people are all gonna be interested in me. That’s not an issue here. The issue I’ve got is, you know, I sent home Cas last week. Before that, I sent Brie home. These are girls who, as far as I can understand, had an interest in pursuing a relationship. So, I’m just trying to understand what was the… ..the motivation to keep sticking around if you’ve made your mind up to pursue, I guess, a plan B as you… Cause I mean, as I understand it, this isn’t, like, a tonight thing.”

Rach replied: “No, it’s 100% a joke. That’s literally it. And obviously, all the girls have literally taken it and rolled with it to make me look bad at this stage. I don’t have anything to prove here, you know what I mean? Like, I…”

Matt then ended the night for Rach.

“Yeah, I guess I just do wish it was a case that you would have been honest and upfront, because it’s…yeah, something that could have been just kind of addressed earlier, I guess. There’s no point, obviously, sticking around, ’cause, um…yeah, I think you’re not interested. Can we get a car brought in?”

Last week, it was confirmed that Rachael Arahill was caught flirting with a male producer who was employed to be Matt Agnew’s minder on The Bachelor Australia. 

Since then, the 23-year-old has addressed the scandal, telling TV Week that “all the girls” vying for Matt’s heart had “back up plans” and were attracted to somebody on set other than the astrophysicist

“Before we’d go to bed, all the girls in the house would joke that only one girl was going to end up with Matt,” she began.

“The crew were good-looking, so everyone had their own guy they’d joke about and say, ‘This guy is hot,’ and, ‘This guy is mine when I leave the house.'”
