SOPHIE Tieman and Brittany Hockley couldn’t have been more shocked when they discovered that Nick Cummins had dumped them both during Thursday night’s finale.

Earlier in the episode, Bernadette had been unable to hide her shock when Nick revealed Brooke Blurton (who she had met earlier in the season) wasn’t in the final two.

“So tell us (with) Brooke, what happened?” She asked Nick. “We would have thought she would have probably made it to the end.”

After appearing unimpressed during family dinner dates with both Sophie and Brittany, Bernadette delivered her verdict.

Speaking to producers, Nick’s older sister said neither women suited her brother and appeared to hint he wouldn’t chose either of them.

“I see the young boyish side coming out with Sophie, I see the mature man coming out with Brittany,” Bernadette said.

“And I don’t necessarily see that either one is the complete package for him — but that’s up to him to make the right decision for himself.”

Well, that backfired

Sure enough when it came down to crunch time, a nervous Nick rejected both Sophie and Brittany.

“I came here for a chance at love. And now I’m ah … I’m gonna have to start again,” Nick said afterwards. “She’s out there.”
