And girl… Matt Agnew caused some drama.

The scientist skipped chemistry with Abbie Chatfield, instead he picked Chelsie McLeod.

And Abbie was p*ssed.

Watch Abbie go head-to-head with Matt’s bestie…

Before walking up to hear her fate, Chelsie admitted to Osher that she was incredibly nervous going into the final days.

“I can’t believe that I’m here now and I’m going to find out from Matt finally if he wants to be with me or not. There’s only two outcomes here, isn’t there?” she asked the enigmatic host.

“So I’m hoping it’s a positive one but, yeah, the negative one scares me a lot. You know, Matt means a lot to me and I want a future with him. I think I’m worried that I showed Matt who I was too late in the process for him to make up his mind. Possibly too little, too late, yeah.”

But she wasn’t too late, and we couldn’t be happier for the little cutie from Melbourne!

Meanwhile, Abbie’s rejection was absolutely brutal. 

“My heart belongs to someone else.”

I still vividly can remember seeing you walking down the red carpet, having that wow moment. I just had it again then, I think I’ve had it every time I’ve seen you. You reduce me to a schoolboy, I could get lost in your eyes And it doesn’t matter how I’m feeling, you make me happy and you lift me with a smile. I’ve…struggled with my emotions and second-guessebbd myself and this is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. But I have to be honest with myself and with you… ..my heart belongs with someone else. Um… ..I’ve treasured every moment we’ve had. And you deserve…”

Abbie cuts him off:”OK, that’s fine. Can you explain further why? “

He tells her: “It’s nothing… ..to explain, other than… ..just my heart.”

She replies,” OK. As long as you’re happy. That’s all that matters.”

She then tells the cameras, “Get… (BLEEP) ..away from me. I wanna go home.”

It’s OK. I’m so completely fine. I feel fine. I’m mostly just mad about the flight home now. I’m honestly not upset. It’s fine. “

I couldn’t even cry if I tried, right now. Maybe I don’t love him. Like, honestly, maybe I don’t love him, I’m not even upset. It’s OK. He’s chosen someone that will make him happy. Chelsie will make him happy. Whatever he thinks is right. I just wanna forget about it. “

“You know, I’ll get over this before it even airs, it’s gonna be fine. … I’m just… Yeah, I’m just embarrassed. And I have to go home and just be like… “

Abbie continues, “I’m embarrassed, um… … I don’t… Yeah, it’s… Like, it’s extreme… It’s really hard and I just… I think I feel silly for thinking that… ..you know, that it would work out with Matt. I feel horrible.” 

“And, like, I will… I will get over this and I’m so resilient, so resilient.”

Maybe we’ll see her bounce back on Bachelor in Paradise?
