4. A month since The Bachelorette finale aired, Bill Goldsmith shares how he feels about Ali Oetjen.
It's been a month since The Bachelorette left our screens, which we know because we've had nothing to do on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
But what we do have now is a whole pile of ex-contestant Instagram profiles to stalk.
One being that of Bill Goldsmith - who was a frontrunner for Ali's heart before he basically proposed to his ex-girlfriend in front of her during home visits.
Well, in a question and answer session on his Instagram story this weekend, Bill has shared exactly how he feels about Ali now.
The plumber wrote: "I have no overpowering feeling towards Ali".
Which is, well, good, because she's in a ~very legitimate~, serious relationship with "Heath enthusiast" Taite.
Bill was also asked about why he chose to apply for the show, to which he said "the timing was right".
Bill (whose name was once actually David) will star in next year's season of Bachelor in Paradise where it's believed he - SPOILERS - finds love with Alex Nation.
The two were recently spotted getting their pash on in a Melbourne park, suggesting their partnership has lived on past Fiji.

They’re the couple who endured one of the toughest journeys in the lead up to their wedding day on Channel 7’s Bride & Prejudice, and now, many fans believe Jess and Seyat have already split.
The newlyweds’ greatest obstacle was none other than Seyat’s mother Fatima, who made no secret of the fact that she was not a fan of Jess, even calling her son’s bride-to-be a “whore” to the camera.
But the nuptials went ahead last month, much to Fatima's dismay. Dismay she went to no effort to hide on the day.
However, it looks like Fatima may have gotten her wish after all, with Jess telling New Idea that she's no longer living with her husband and his family.
