Although she may have left the show in the first rose ceremony, The Bachelor Australia’s Nadine Kodsi seems to have spilled some tea on social media and potentially leaked the winner of Locky Gilbert’s heart.
Taking to her Instagram Story on September 1, the former Bachelor contestant seemingly revealed which contestants reach the final two based on a group chat with the rest of the contestants.
“I just want to clear things up, for those people who are asking about who wins as I know people are placing bets. I was told by several people that Bella wins. Remember I was only in the house for a short period of time, all my information has come from girls who were in there longer and from group chats,” she wrote.
“I did however state that it is between Irena and Bella. They are def top two. However, who actually wins 100% I can not possibly predict that as I am not god. From what I have been told it’s Bella.
“So please if you’re going to place bets, gamble responsible as I don’t want to be the blame for anyone losing money. And as I have said to all people who are betting, I would bet on both evenly to be safe.”
This is the second time Nadine has seemingly dropped a big hint about who wins The Bachelor Australia. Prior to this, the ex-contestant appeared on the So Dramatic! podcast where she also alleged that Bella would walk away the victor.
“I honestly think Bella is going to win and the reason why I think that is because I personally think it was set up,” she said.
“Apparently they met in Bali, and she basically made an agreement to go on the show, and then they’d be together. Now it’s so obvious because if you were there on the night, I actually said ‘you are going to win’.”
Bella, who recently also addressed rumours that she is pursuing an acting career, reportedly told the Herald Sun that Nadine was flat out wrong.
“I haven’t been to Bali in five years and it genuinely baffles me the lengths people will go to. I’d never even watched Survivor,” she said.
“I didn’t even have a conversation with Nadine. I don’t listen to it [podcast] because 99% of it would be complete bullshit.”
Nadine’s not the only person to insinuate that Bella will win. A TV insider also spoke to WHO magazine earlier this month, claiming that the pair had met and made a “secret pact.”
Another insider (or potentially the same one) followed up the claim in an interview with Daily Mail, stating that producers had a hard time selling the “Bachie love story” this season because Locky and Bella “already knew each other.”
“[Bella] let it slip that the top five girls she knew Locky, and everyone was like ‘what?'”, the source said. “Bella brushed it off. She slipped up.”
Well, only time (and probably more hour-long cocktail parties) will tell if Bella does indeed take home that final rose!
