Nick Cummins shocked the nations by not picking anyone in the Honey Badger Bachelor Finale. And it has become the talking point of various Water Coolers, Cafes and most importantly Social Media.
But really what did anyone expect.
He was a footballer, and a winger no less, the contestants were a bunch of women who were prepared to go on TV for love. With all the game changing, producer interfering, bullshit that makes reality TV so awful, and unlike reality.
If it weren’t for TV, it is highly likely that none of them would give the Honey Badger a second look in the many nightclubs. Well, except for the one who seemed a little obsessed by them.
His wonderful curly mullet and mo was a surprise selection for The Bachelor, who usually stump up some boring cardboard cut out trying resemble Barbie’s Ken as closely as possible. Makes for good action figures after The Bachelor finishes we guess.
It was hard to imagine too many, if any or not many of the girls would fall dangerously in love.
Without the power of TV, most of these women wouldn’t give the Honey Badger a second glance. Or a first. Most of the behaviour on the show showed that.
We must admit at this point that we have pieced together all that happened with the Honey Badger Bachelor Finale and rest of the “Social Experiment” from Gogglebox, the very excellent Have You Been Paying Attention, and various trash-news websites.
That little bit knowledge has made us feel very lucky that we didn’t suffer the lot.
But we were aware of the main things, especially the finale.
Was the dual dumping at the final part a shock? Yes. Should it be a surprise? No.
At least the Honey Badger was being honest.
If he was a complete jerk he could have dragged a relationship out for a few months, get in the magazines and news for a bit and raise the profile.
Perhaps he regretted getting involved and wanted reduced social media notoriety and could go back to they guy that everyone liked. Going to PNG to do the Kokoda Track is a fair indication of how much publicity he wants.
At least he was honest, and not eyeing a new TV spinoff like other celebrity love seekers.
ACA JOIN IN THE HONEY BADGER BACHELOR FINALE CIRCUS
The original weekly gripe was about why people were complaining about the Bachelor ending, until ACA got involved.
You know you have reached the lowest of the low when an ACA is hiding in the bushes waiting to jump out and ambush you with their microphone. Normally this is saved for Car Salesman, Neighbours at War, Welfare Cheats, and ex cast members of Hey Dad, but the Honey Badger was sought out after the big Honey Badger Bachelor Finale.
He didn’t have much to say, nor should. He left everything in the finale.
But the jerks at ACA got on their high horse to ensure the controversy raged.
ACA is a cut above in the worst show on television, and is a lone soldier in the genre these days, as Channel Seven finally worked out that people aren’t quite the idiots they initially thought they were.
Perhaps Channel Nein was jealous of the exposure of The Bachelor, with their Married at First Sight’s next “social experiment” some time away.
At the end of the day, F— A Current Affair.
