'The Bachelor Australia': This unaired finale moment changes everything

Nobody can deny that Thursday night's Bachelor Australia finale was truly wild.

While fans across the nation were theorising which lady Nick Cummins (aka The Honey Badger) would pick during the gripping finale -- he seemed smitten about both Sophie Tieman and Brittany Hockley -- little did we know he was about to break both their hearts, choosing nobody and leaving a single man.

After Nick delivered the crushing blow to Sophie and Britt, viewers wondered if he'd simply been left with no choice.

Had he wanted Brooke all along? Did her choosing to leave the mansion on Wednesday night throw a spanner in the works? Was he in love with her? We now know the answer is no.

According to Sophie and Britt, who spoke on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday morning, Brooke was never going to be a finalist.

"There was a scene unfortunately that you weren't shown…" Sophie told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson. "After Brooke had decided to leave, he did come and speak to both of us individually and he said, 'This is exactly how I wanted it to be'.

"He looked us in the eyes and said, 'It was always you that was meant to be coming with me to finale'. So unless he's lying to our faces, which I just don't think it's in his nature to do that."

Britt confirmed this.

"There's so much speculation in that, but I guess there's a lot you guys don't see and Nick is like an animal, the man cannot be produced, he cannot be controlled, he makes his own rules," she added. "I guess it comes down to, Brooke's such a beautiful human, but it comes down to if Nick wanted anyone there, Brooke, Cass, or any girl they would be there."
