We Had An Absolutely Bonkers Chat To The Most Expressive ‘Bachy’ Contestant Nikki
Nikki, the woman who came cheerleading into the mansion, the last surviving intruder, did not receive a rose on last night’s episode of The Bachelor.
Last night’s episode was largely centred on Rachael and her ‘Plan B, so Nikki’s departure was significantly quieter than her “Mumma’s home!” entrance.
Nikki still managed to make an impact in the mansion as the person we turned to for great reacts and commentary, and plenty of jokes. But it wasn’t all LOLS – when she opened up last week about what she was really looking for in a partner, it was a moment where we all felt our hearts pang for her.
Punkee spoke to Nikki about how she’s looking for a bae to share chicken nuggets with, and how shocked she was that Dr. Matt could be interested in her.
Here’s what Nikki had to say about her time on The Bachelor:
On deciding to go on The Bachelor to find someone to share chicken nuggets with
“[I went on The Bachelor] for a number of reasons: a) Because I wanted to date a 40-year-old lesbian – that’s kinda what Matt was like, let’s be real [laughs]. Aside from that, basically I lost my mum a few years ago to cancer, and then I came out of a long-term relationship. I just thought, I wanna find love and someone to settle down with, y’know, and eat chicken nuggets with.”
On what she really thinks of Dr. Matt
“Normally I go for either – one way or the other – it’s either dadbod or muscly and tattooed… [The dadbod thing] is because I love nuggets so much. My diet is literally an unsupervised child at a birthday party. It’s so bad. I ate a block of chocolate for dinner last night.
“Matt goes alright – as good as a 40-year-old lesbian can. He was quite nice. He reminded me a bit of a bag of cheese, shredded and tasty. But also in the same breath, I guess you could say he’s a bit like Mars, and there’s a reason why humans haven’t populated Mars yet, because it’s a bit dry.”
“I definitely liked him. He’s definitely a vibe. But we were still getting to know each other.”
On not believing someone like Dr. Matt could be into her
“I just didn’t understand why someone like him would like someone like me, because I’m a bit of an awkward car noodle. I’m lanky and, I don’t know, when I get nervous I say really inappropriate things, and I just thought I was gonna fuck it up.
“He’s really good looking and charismatic and stuff, even though I joke he’s a 40-year-old lesbian. I just felt like, you know, oh my God, what if this person could like me?
“Every rose ceremony I was like an awkward chicken – I’m so shocked that he still picks me.”
On not ever scoring a single date with the Bachelor
“You’re just like, hey old mate, Matt, I’m over here. Honestly I thought he was hotter than a menopausal woman, but he didn’t take me on a date, so whatever, Matt, whatever. I don’t even care, I’m not crying, you’re crying!”
“He was clearly into blondes. I’m a bit of a blonde, so like brown-blonde… It would’ve been nice to get a date with old mate Matt, but what are you gonna do? I did exit that place quicker than someone who was lactose-intolerant and had eaten a whole tub of ice cream and two large iced coffees from McCafe.”
On what moments we didn’t get to see between her and Dr. Matt
“There were two key moments. The first one was when I told him about my mum, and he was really, really good. He gave me a hug when we chatted about it and he saw a picture of her. Then the second moment was when I did a chicken nugget rap and then fed him chicken nuggets out of a jewellery box [at a cocktail party].”
On who she wants to win The Bachelor
“I think that Mary’s gonna win because she’s a definite vibe. Rachael’s lips are so big because they’re full of secrets, but Mary’s hair’s so big because she’s full of beauty.”
On whether she’d want to return to our screens for Bachelor in Paradise
“Absolutely I want to do Bachelor In Paradise. Get me a hunky man who likes chicken nuggies.”
