Fans go crazy online after shock Bachelor decision

NIKKI’S heart wasn’t the only one breaking last night. Australia really isn’t coping too well with his shock decision.

IT WASN’T just Nikki’s heart that was broken last night when The Bachelor’s Richie Strahan told her she wasn’t the one.

It quickly became clear that Australia was not coping well with his decision, with fans taking to Twitter to express their shock and outrage (sorry, Alex.)

The moment Richie broke Nikki’s (and Australia’s) heart.

And of course, some of the reactions were absolutely priceless.

Enjoy the ocean Richie cos soon you'll be at an indoor pool on a w/e morning in the 'burbs watching a 5YO in floaties. PS No. #thebachelorau

While Alex certainly has Richie’s heart, she’s got a way to go to win Australia’s.

A tidal wave of support began from the moment Nikki stepped out of the car to be dumped, with an easy majority devastated at the outcome.

So where was #TeamAlex?

On the one hand, I'm glad Nikki isn't with Richie and I hope she finds someone better. But on the other hand, :( #TheBachelorAU

Tonight I'm going to eat my entire weight in oreos and tomorrow I'm adopting a cat because clearly love is dead #TheBachelorAU

Luckily, Alex appears to be unfazed by the lacklustre response to her winning the final rose, telling Kyle and Jackie O she totally gets the overwhelming support for Nikki.

“It’s understandable that Australia fell in love with Nikki, how could you not?!”
