“In every way possible, I think she’s adorable.”
And with those words, Jacinda’s hopes of becoming the lucky fiancee of this year’s Bachelor with a capital “b” were dashed.
She was booted from the show last night before we even got to the rose ceremony, after finding out she’d gone on a date that was EXACTLY THE SAME as the dates our erstwhile bachelor took two other ladies on.
She was pissed.
We spoke to Jacinda today about those controversial (well, not really but the producers so wanted it to be) identical dates, what it was like being on the show and who’s giving her all the roses and probably some other varieties of flowers now.
Jacinda was notably very upset after she found out that she’d been on a “groundhog date” and that two other girls, Bec and Ebru, had been on the exact same date, and we can’t blame her.
“I’d been there a month,” she told Mamamia. “I needed to get to know Sam, and I finally got a date. It was my chance, and I wanted it, and I got it.”
It wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, though. All the girls who went on the same date (same flat tyre, same flirty waitress, same icky food) knew something was up when their time with our Bach Sam only lasted two hours, as opposed to the usual 12 hours.
“I was feeling upset before I even knew,” she said. “I was trying to open up but he was preoccupied, obviously with all the other things going on.”
She and the other two girls felt really betrayed by the deception. I mean, imagine waiting a month for a date with one guy, having it cut short and then finding out he did the exact same thing with two other women?
