RUNNER-UP on the The Bachelor and Noosa resident Lisa Hyde, has described her tumultuous journey to find true love as “incredible” despite the series being branded one of the most controversial in the channel Ten series.
Following Lisa’s dumping last week, a rumour surfaced that she may be carrying bachelor Blake Garvey’s baby – rumours that were completely unfounded and that had surfaced via a social media storm.
The rumours were quickly quashed by Lisa via Twitter.
“I can confirm the rumour and I am definitely not pregnant with Blake’s baby… Lol,” the post read.
The final episode aired last Wednesday 1 October, and Sam Frost was named the winner with a proposal from smooth-talker Blake.
However, Blake and Sam’s engagement was short-lived after Blake broke off the engagement prior to returning from South Africa, where the couple swam with sharks.
It has since been revealed that Blake may have lied about his occupation after the mystery man was found to be the registered owner of a nude male entertainment company.
Speaking with media sources the baritone-voiced Blake, said he had strong feelings for Sam “just not as a romantic partner”.
“It highlighted that Sam is someone I absolutely love and care for but not in the way of a romantic partner,” he said.
In more recent developments, Blake has revealed he may have found love once more, but would not confirm whether it was with Lisa or perhaps Jess.
The Bachelor admitted it would be “impossible not to feel something” for the other girls given the “emotional journey” they shared.
But while he was adamant he’d met nobody new, he didn’t clarify whether or not he had renewed a romance with someone he already knows.
Meanwhile, a heartbroken Sam appeared on channel Ten’s The Project and she revealed that she knew Blake was not “100 per cent” into their relationship after the show finished, but she still didn’t see what was coming.
“I burst into tears to be honest – I was in shock,” Sam, a financial consultant from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, said.
“I’m so numb, just trying to process it all.”
Fans of the show have since taken to social media sledging Blake and network Ten’s producers for withholding vital information about the characters.
Others have blamed the producers of the show directly for allowing contestants on the show, who they believed had an obvious agenda to become famous rather than finding love.
