Moment that sealed Bach rejection
ONE person made a shock prediction about the fate of both Sophie and Brittany days before they were dumped - and now they’ve been proved right.
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.
But there was one person who probably wasn’t surprised by The Bachelor’s outcome — Nick’s sister Bernadette.
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.”

I think Bernadette the sensible sister has forewarned us all. I hope not but Iâm worried Badgy will take off for the Kokoda solo straight from the tropical paradise leaving the girls crying in their long frocks.. I will be very cross if this happens. #TheBachelorAU

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.”
Maybe next time get your sister to pick someone out for you?
