Rachael Got Booted From Bachy For Lining Up A Side Dude & Viewers Are Actually Impressed
This season of The Bachelor is proving to be the messiest yet as tonight Rachael was booted from the mansion for err…lining up a side dude.
In tonight’s episode we learned that Rachael had been talking to a crew member she had renamed ‘Plan B’ and she admitted to having a crush on him; info many of the other ladies seemed to already know.
Rachel's got a plan b. She know bachie ain't into her. Matt's got the whole damn alphabet of plans, A-Z #TheBachelorAU

“I can’t believe a girl here is interested in somebody else” – says Matt, currently dating 12 other women. #TheBachelorAU

“It’s common knowledge [that] she has a crush on someone else,” Mary told Nikki and Chelsie early in the episode, with this information not sitting right with the other ladies. “I would be pissed off if I went home and Rachael stayed,” Mary added.
Rachael had no shame about her pursuit of Plan B and her disinterest in Matt, as she joked, “Going into the cocktail party, I don’t really have any nerves. I don’t really care about speaking to Matt as I’m pretty keen to see Plan B.”

We later heard Rachael had written her number on a piece of paper and apparently given it to Plan B. The producers showed Matt this and he headed straight for Rach, who was in the midst of talking about her side dude…gotta give props to the producers of this shitshow.
Me calculating the amount of of Matt’s Time that Rachel could possibly have wasted through eight episodes and zero one-on-one conversations #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/KgKqLcXLRD

It was here where Matt quizzed Rachael about it all and she laughed it off as just a joke. This did not please our Bachy who quickly hailed a car for her to leave the mansion immediately. Savage.
All in all, I’m actually impressed by Rach. When you’re sharing one guy with a handful of other girls and haven’t even had a single date with him, well, a girl has needs. Needs that clearly weren’t being filled by Matt. We all need a side dude in our lives from time to time.
Some viewers were pissed off that Rach would disrespect a man…who is dating 20 women at once:
Rachel. Rachel. Rachel. Don't screw with the crew! #TheBachelorAU

Has no one told Rachel that only the Bachelor is allowed to date multiple people at once? Silly girl! #TheBachelorAU

But most reckon Rachael was well within her rights to play the field:
Rachael gets roasted for seeing other people, whilst Matt is basing a whole show off it…. interesting #TheBachelorAU

Matt couldn't care less about Rachael. He's wasting a few of these girls time. He won't even give them a first date.

How is Rachel wasting Matt’s time? He isn’t even giving her any lmao #TheBachelorAU

Let’s be honest we’re all kind of impressed by Rachael’s Plan B idea #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/jchJ48Souf

I would never normally condone one of the women trying to crack into the crew member.
However, all I can say is “GO FOR IT, RACHEL!” #TheBachelorAU

Again, can we blame Rachel for having a crush on someone else? He hasn’t even taken her on a single date, he’s been having a grand ole time making out with all the others. Might as well find an alternative. #TheBachelorAU

So Matt can kiss 8 girls in a row but Rach can’t give her number or have a crush on someone else #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/FBeAurTGhB

I'm on #TeamRachael here – the Bachie isn't interested in her, so she's only making the most of her time there getting with someone else. We stan! #TheBachelorAU

I’ve got to respect the hustle.
For those playing at home, Rachael uploaded the following post to Instagram this evening where she clarified that when she passed her digits on to Plan B, they were not working as a crew member at the time and were on their day off.
The plot thickens.
