We’ve often wondered what goes on behind the scenes of The Bachelor.
While we’re shown the dates and the ~drama~ of the cocktail parties, we’re almost more interested to know what the contestants do when the cameras are turned off. How do 20 plus women spend their spare time locked up in a fancy mansion?
Well, we’ve finally got an insight into what the girls eat while they’re cooped up in their Bachie castle.
Let us give you a hint. Image: TenPlay
And honestly, it sounds like our dream Friday night dinner.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I was watching Netflix and eating popcorn," former contestant Olena Khamula told NW.

Past contestants Alex Nation and Keira Maguire also listed chocolate, ice cream and Tim Tams as favoured foods in the house.
The three most important food groups, right?
However many of the contestants say these options made it incredibly hard to stay healthy during their time on the show, something Sam Frost has also spoken of. (Post continues after gallery.)
"I watched it transpire on TV, I could see it more and more in my face - my face has never been that full before," Nation said.
"But my booty definitely grew. The finale pictures were good - it all went to my bum."

Maguire says she made it her job to try to encourage the other women to stay healthy.
"I ate really healthily and would take away all the food from the girls. I'd be like 'You don't need that,' and 'Put the Tim Tams down'," she said.
When the scenery is this beautiful, running up a million stairs ain't so bad ????????

Nation said the controversial contestant also motivated the group to keep active.
"She would take yoga and barre class," she said.
Even runner up Nikki Gogan wasn't safe from Maguire's watchful eye.
"Nikki would have, like, three blocks of chocolate a night," Maguire said.
Nikki - you're a woman after our own hearts.
Ice cream. Chocolate. Popcorn. Tim Tams. How do you become a contestant on the show again?
