While stuck inside The Bachelor mansion with dozens of other women, Abbie Chatfield used to joke about being in the final two.
She and the other women competing for bachelor Matt Agnew’s heart used to act out the final rose ceremony, where Matt would pick one woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
Abbie was familiar with the show – and its American version – where bachelors always use a specific line to breakup with their runner-up.

Then, standing in front of Matt in South Africa, he used that line on her.
“The fact that he said ‘My heart is with someone else’, it’s the ultimate Bachelor line,” she told Mamamia the morning after we watched her heartbroken on our TV screens.

Quite frankly WONT watch is rubbish BUT can’t help calling this women out .....so it’s OK for you to comment on or s**t shame as you so classily called it how the “American” bachelorette decided to play out her reality show experience but it NOT ok for other to call you out ....touch hypercritical l would say : even Karma maybe ?!?!... grow up life lesson everyone’s world does NOT revolve around only you & your feelings SWEETIE !!! 🤨
Abbie didn't show much empathy when others were hurt by her actions (eg over the Elly date card stuff). And when questioned, she said that she wasn't there for anyone else - ie she didn't care about anyone but herself. So I don't feel a lot of sympathy towards her now, and think it's a bit rich of her to play the victim card.
