If there’s a silver lining to having your heart crushed by the woman of your dreams on a reality TV show for all of Australia to see it’s this: becoming the country’s most eligible Bachelor.
So when Mamamia caught up with fan-favourite Matty J after last night’s finale, there was just one thing we wanted to know: will he pull a Richie Strahan and be back on our screens next year as The Bachelor?
"That’s something that I guess I hadn’t really given much thought to until now," he told us.
"The best analogy I can give is it’s like I’ve literally just crossed the finish line of a marathon, and I’m pretty exhausted, and someone has just asked me in that moment, would I want to do another marathon," he said.
Listen to the final episode of Bach Chat, the podcast where we talk all things Bachelorette.
"My initial reaction is, definitely not, no way."
Um, Matty. Way to break our hearts all over again.

Does he even have a job? What would qualify him to be the next bachelor! I must be missing something
He has a job in marketing. Why is that question relevant? Do you have to be successful to have people like you? Did Sam Frost have a job when she was the Bachelorette?
What qualifications do you need to be the Bachelor? Based on previous Bachelors, you don't need to be interesting, funny or particularly bright, so I always thought the answer to that question was "none". They'll take anyone who is good looking and enough of a lunatic to actually want to appear.
Lol😂
