The Bachelor's Megan just threw serious shade at Richie's boyfriend potential.

She was the charmingly down-to-earth beauty with no desire to buy in the competitive nature of the Bachelor mansion.

And former Bachelor contestant Megan Marx, who left the show on her own accord just over a week ago, is throwing a little more subtle shade at the Bachelor, Richie and all the antics in between.

This time, she takes aim at that very questionable, but apparently very necessary, date where Bachelor Richie made sure all of his potential girlfriends could look after a fake baby and fulfill all their maternal and womanly duties before deciding who he wants to be with.

“Question,” she began on Instagram.

"In the real world, would you date a guy who gave you a fake baby to look after on your second date? Or would you assume he's about to swap your pill for vitamins. HAA. Nonetheless these babies were cool," she wrote.

Of course, we expect her post is a sly joke that is meant to be taken lightly.

But it is not the first time the similar question has been asked, with many-an-eyebrow raised from viewers at home during the baby challenge.

It is, however, one of the first times a contestant has been self-deprecating enough to acknowledge the bizarre nature of some of the dates.

Marx has been in the headlines since her dramatic exit from the house, with many assuming she was a front-runner for Richie's heart from the moment she stepped foot out of her limo.

But alas, it wasn't to be. And Marx made one of the most graceful exists since the Bachelor's inception on our shores.

Posting to Instagram just days after her exit, Marx said the experience wasn't a total loss, emerging from the series with some strong female friendships.

"Richie is a great guy who will I'm sure find his 'Cool Banana'," she wrote on Instagram.

"As for me, I have met some wonderful, strong women who basically pull the shit out of me constantly and I love them for it."

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald last week, Marx re-affirmed why it was so important for her to leave the mansion when she did.

"If anyone told you it's not weird to be in that situation, they've got to be lying. I'm not a very dramatic, competitive type of person, I just sort of go with the flow and in that environment it was quite difficult," she explained.
