Retribution was served to the baying Twitter hordes last night on The Bachelor when Rosie Woods was sent home by Bachelor Zac Franich.
Her split personality, where she was sweet and shy on dates and bat shit crazy in the mansion, made the Hulk look quiet and restrained.
She reached peak public ire last week when she called Karina a "f***ing slut" (for having a relationship three years ago with host Dominic Bowden). And now The Bach himself seems to have agreed with public sentiment and sent her packing.
Unfortunately her departure eclipsed that of the lovely, incredibly forgotten Jess Nutley. Like some other fellow evictees, Jess is again more interesting in real life than on screen, where her defining character trait was an unwillingness to eat anything interesting.
The two joined Newshub in the studio to answer the hard questions. Like, did Rosie regret the whole "f***ing slut" thing? Turns out she did.
"My worst moment was my argument with Karina, emotions were high that day. If I could do it again I would approach it differently." Yeah maybe, like perhaps not calling her a f***ing slut? "Yes. That wasn't my finest. But we all lose it sometimes. I just happened to lose it on TV."
She's keen to let us know that she's not really that awful in real life, and that her real personality didn't come through.
"My personality as a whole wasn't shown ... Overall I'm quite nice and calm. I'm nicer than I seem on TV!"
And she's staying away from the social media backlash over her comment, taking the age-old line of other embattled celebs: "These people don't know me, they only see one horrible comment I made."
Despite the f-bomb flash point, she wasn't too sad to be going home. Rosie knew it was her time.
"I felt that was my night. When I made Zac that chatterbox ... I was like, this is not there with us."
And she admits that she didn't fall for Zac, which is a pity as she's now earned a stink reputation over a man she didn't really like that much.
Jess, however, was surprised to be going home, although she too didn't really feel that much for him.
"I thought it was all good. I went into the party being like, 'All good! I got a rose last party!'."
There was the group chatting, the banter at the cocktail parties ... but it wasn't enough. And we would be sad about the charming English lass' departure, if it wasn't for the fact that she wasn't really that sad herself.
"I had a few light feelings for him, but I wasn't shattered or anything."
She may not have got any meaningful connection out of Zac, but she did get a good entrance. "My best point on the show was my entrance."
She brought him a cup of tea as a "novel-tea" to help her stand out. (Unfortunately the phrase 'peaked too soon' springs to mind here.)
"I'm so proud of that!" she beams. So were we. It certainly added more lustre to that first night after the girls arrived in their subtly placed Suzuki Swift.
All in all, again the girls don't look too heartbroken. Jess has just taken a full-time job in marketing and Rosie is still studying and planning on moving to Auckland.
However, whatever else may be on the horizon for these girls, they both agree it's not another reality TV show. Their days of cat fights and caffeinated puns are gone.
Newshub.
