“You did not receive a rose,” says the host of The Bachelor Australia Osher Gunsberg to the only woman at the cocktail party without a single red rose in her hand.
It must be one of the most heartbreaking lines on Australian television.
But on his journey to find The One, The Bachelor‘s Nick Cummins, 30, has to break some hearts, 24 to be exact.
Yet, let’s not feel too sorry for The Honey Badger, it’s who got sent home from The Bachelor mansion that week we should be sending crying Emoji faces to.
So as we tune in to yet another season of the dating series, let’s spare a moment for the ladies who didn’t make a mark on the Bachie’s heart, especially the women who were told to hit the road early on, we barely knew your names!
We can only hope they’ll wash up on the shores of Bachelor in Paradise.
Here week by week, we list who went home on The Bachelor Australia.

Episode 8: After a tearful chat with Nick, Tenille made the choice to leave the mansion before the rose ceremony.
