Alex Nation has revealed she was disappointed by the “negativity” she faced from Bachelor fans when Richie Strahan chose her over Nikki Gogan.
The 25-year-old gave her Instagram followers an opportunity to ask their questions in the comments of a post she put up on Sunday that read: Ask Alex.
One fan asked is she found it hard receiving hate after the Bachelor finale, accusing the show’s producers of editing the series to make it seem “as if Nikki was the leading lady”.
The mum-of-one replied that while she understood people had become “invested” in the show and its cast, she couldn’t relate to viewers wanting to bring down someone else’s “happiness”.

The cynic in me sees this as a way for her to appear to have an engagement with her fans. I suspect getting the types of endorsements that Tim and Anna and Sam and Snez receive is difficult for Alex and Richie since they don't have the same level of popularity.
I think they have mistaken people's response to be 'we prefer Niki' when in reality it's 'we don't like you two '. However they only have a short amount of time to try and change people's opinion so they are pulling out all the stops.
I think a lot of the comments on their Instagram are fake or paid for.
