Look, I think it’s fair to say many fans of The Bachelor really thought WA finalist Nikki Gogan had the winning of Richie Strahan’s heart in the bag.
But, as we all soon discovered, she didn’t — and Melbourne mum-of-one Alex Nation did.
See, look. They're really happy. Source: Channel 10.
And while that's still really great because she's perfectly lovely and Richie seems happy, deeply in love and willing to bestow a disgusting ring on someone, the Internet has not taken the news of Nikki's loss well.
In fact, there's basically an all-out revolt being waged against Richie online right now.
Within moments of the episode ending former Bachelorette Sam Frost shared her sympathies, writing, "I actually can't even deal. Poor Nikki," on Facebook.
On The Bachelor's Facebook page, one fan of the show wrote, "Nikki was robbed!"
Another commented, "It's okay Nikki, the whole of Australia fell in love with you!"

Over on Twitter things were - as is usually the way on Twitter - a little blunter.
"Nikki is literally an angel from above and he does not deserve her," one user commented.

Frankly, I am sure most Australians do not know and won't know who Nikki Gogan is, but she has very loud fans, that is for sure!
Not much depth to Richie, think his choice more about sexual gratification, which won't last, than wanting commitment. He seems very immature. Always suspected Alex in it for the media career, they'll both get what they want without the long term hindrance of commitment, though the show hasn't created a great profile for her. Nicki far too classy for this scenario and should be the next bachelorette absolutely! She would get to choose next time...a mature man more worthy of her.
