It’s not often you see a man date 25 beautiful women and choose none of them, but that’s how Season 6 of The Bachelor Australia ended tonight.

With two left standing, Britt and Sophie, Nick Cummins decided he wasn’t ready to commit to either of them, leaving fans of the show absolutely shocked.

The ending saw Britt go to find Sophie and the two debriefed, laughed, and consoled each other about WTF went down.

Both ladies have now taken to Instagram to post some thoughts about their time on the show.

‘Wowee.’ Living it the first time was so hard, but reliving it tonight was something else.? After a very long and incredible journey, I found myself standing at the end with a full heart and excited at the prospect of a happy future with Nick. I believe everything happens for a reason, and by this point I truly believed I was meant to come here and meant to meet Nick. From the very beginning we connected on so many levels, some you saw, and some you unfortunately didn’t. I was in disbelief and thought surely this was the reason I hadn’t met anyone in a long time. But that is not the case. Unfortunately it is not my time.? I gave it my all and was always true to myself, honest and risked it for the biscuit. I wore my heart on my sleeve and I’m proud of myself for putting myself out there. Whilst this is not my happy ending, I made the most beautiful friends, and I am so grateful to have had Soph there with me at the end. She is truly my rock. I’m leaving with a heavy heart, but I’d like to say to all the girls that I shared this adventure with, thank you for the journey, the laughs and the memories, they will last a lifetime. To all the crew, soundies, cameramen, make up artists, stylists, production, runners, photographers, Osher, all the behind the scenes, you beautiful souls. I saw some of your hearts break when mine did, you know who you are, thank you for treating me so well always, and always making me laugh when I needed it. You made this whole experience that much greater. My family have been my rocks and really helped me through this. It’s been so hard to keep this to ourselves and deal with it on our own. Everyone that ever supported me on this crazy rollercoaster, thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. I love love and I have to believe this is just setting me on the path I’m supposed to be on. You can be sure I’ll keep on searching. Britt ✌? ? Xx @thebachelorau #thebachelorau #love #womensupportingwomen

I’m not entirely sure where to even start… As you are all very aware, I struggle to put into words exactly how I’m feeling which makes this particular post an extremely difficult one to put together. ??‍♀️ There is no denying that this isn’t the way I hoped my journey would end. I unknowingly reached a point in time where not only could I see a future with Nick, I really wanted it. But in saying that, I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and now was not my time. I’m slowly coming to terms with this.. and it’s okay.? Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not. You guys were only shown such a small part of a very long journey. It was nothing short of an emotional roller coaster. But, overall what an amazing experience I have just been through. The friendships I have made, the personal growth I have experienced – it’s priceless. I want to thank everyone who followed me on my journey and supported me along the way. The amazing bachelorettes, production (stylists, runners, soundies & camera guys), friends, family and the people out there who don’t even know me but continue to keep the vibes positive? Thank you for sharing what has been a massive part of my life. Sophie xo #WomenSupportingWomen

Sophie, too, thanked the other ladies, the crew etc. and also ended her post with the same hashtag: #womensupportingwomen.

Fourth-placed Cass shared her support of both finalists, calling them her “soulmates”.

Well, I guess in some ways we got the ending we never knew we initially needed — so here’s to women supporting women.
