So it happened. We’ve slept on it. But the result of Thursday night’s Bachelor Australia finale still has us reeling. There was a ring, a Britt, a Sophie, a luxurious and completely unnecessary foreign resort destination, and Osher. (Urgh, poor Osher.)

But Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins chose no one.

NO ONE.

Yeah, Britt. Us too. Image: Channel 10.

The fact that we predicted the no-winners result ought to have made it easier, helped us brace for what happened. But no.

And so today we turned to the people who know the program best - the contestants - for some comfort, some insight, some solace. Something.

But it turns out most of them are just as rattled as the rest of us.

Emily Dibden, S6: "Well, that was disappointing."

Cassandra Wood, S6: "Love you both."

Vanessa Sunshine, S6: "So happy..."

Dasha Gaivoronski, S6: "Girls, please never lose sight of your true identity."

Tara Pavlovic, S5 andBachelor in Paradise: "Thanks for your honesty."

Keira Maguire, S4 andBachelor in Paradise: "Very disappointed."

Jarrod Woodgate,The BacheloretteS3 andBachelor in Paradise: "I would know."

Georgia Love,The BacheloretteS2: "

I mean I don’t know if anything’s changed since my time but it was certainly a requirement two years ago that the Bachelor or Bachelorette be ready to find someone to settle down with. That’s kind of...the point?? #BachelorAu

I totally get if he (or any Bach/Bachette) doesn’t find The One on the show, but to start bringing up in the finale that you don’t know if you’re ready to settle?? Nope. #BachelorAu

And this, which is quite possibly our favourite.

Except it isn't because Osher is our favourite. Always.

Osher. Just Osher.

This moment These two This conversation. It's perfect. #thebachelorau
