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.

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

Dasha Gaivoronski, S6: "Girls, please never lose sight of your true identity."
Tara Pavlovic, S5 and Bachelor in Paradise: "Thanks for your honesty."
Keira Maguire, S4 and Bachelor in Paradise: "Very disappointed."

Osher. Just Osher.
