If you thought Cass Woodโs heartbreak on The Bachelor was bad, Brooke Blurtonโs was catastrophic.
During the latest rose ceremony, just minutes before Nick Cummins was set to choose his final two, Brooke walked out in a panic, looking for her suitor.
In a complete and shocking twist, the 23-year-old from WA, left the show and a devastated Bachelor.
So why on earth, could someone who was obviously so madly into him, leave?
Brooke couldnโt get the answers she was hoping for.
In an exclusive chat with Now to Love, Brooke reveals the real reason she left, and it had nothing to do with the Badgelor.
โThere were a lot of feelings running through my mind,โ she said. โObviously I was just within myself, trying to process what he was trying to say and how I was feeling.โ
โAt the time, I definitely felt like I wasnโt good enough,โ she revealed. โLooking back at it now, I think thatโs definitely where I was at.โ

You may be wondering why a gorgeous young woman, who has everything going for her, felt like she wasnโt what Nick wanted.
โI think there were a lot of things,โ she said. โI do have a lot of self-doubt from my experiences in life. When someone doesnโt tell me directly, it leaves in a world of assumptions and I donโt really like that.
โI need a direct answer. I need to know if someone likes me or has the same feelings as me or is at least on the same page as me.โ
During their conversation, Nick was speechless.
Because of their very unusual situation, Nick was unable to give Brooke the time or answers that she needed.
โThere were still two girls in the picture and he was still processing that as well,โ she said. โIโm 100% empathetic about that as well. It wasnโt an easy situation.โ
โI had to think to myself, Iโm also involved and I have to do whatโs best for me too.โ

So with their insane chemistry and their obvious connection with one another, did Brooke think that he would have chosen her if she stayed?
โI donโt know how Iโm supposed to answer that,โ she said. โI donโt know how he was feeling or would be feeling and there are the other girls.โ
