So, let’s break this theory down.

Konrad Is In Breach of His Iron-Clad Bachelorette Contract

Konrad is 100% in breach of his Bachelorette contract by spoiling the end of the show by making out with the Love Island Afterparty host.

However, as reported in episode 121 of the So Dramatic! podcast, host Megan Pustetto said that a contestant revealed that Konrad was the “producer’s favourite”. (TBH, he’s ours too — so we can understand why.)

The contestant spilt: “I bet producers make an exception for Konrad breaching his contract and still give him his bonus,” they said, referring to the $5,000 that the cast members get for being good little contestants.

It’s The Konrad Show. He’s their golden boy. I have a feeling they are setting him up to be the next Bachelor,” they said before adding. “I think he knows that too because he wasn’t even subtle or trying to hide his romance with Abbie.

Brooke Blurton Has Blamed Spoilers for Low-Ratings

Recently, The Bachelorette Australia Brooke Blurton blamed spoilers for the low ratings of the show. Look, we don’t understand why it’s happening either, because this season is the most diverse when it comes to its star and suitors.

While there are A LOT of spoilers (as usual) about who ends up walking away hand-in-hand with Brooke at the end (looking at you, Darvid), there’s seriously no bigger spoiler than the frontrunner kissing someone else in public!

So really, if anything is going to f*ck up the ratings, it’s our darling boy, Konrad.

The Contestants Get Mad at Each Other for Ruining the Show!

Megan also found out that the contestants most annoyed by spoilers were Jamie-Lee Dayz, Carissa Croft, Bec Pressing and, wait for it…KONRAD! Huh?!

Bec and Carissa were already seen on a romantic holiday together, as was covered in episode 119 of the So Dramatic! podcast, and then Konrad *accidentally* went public with Abbie. Naughty, naughty!

Anyway! We are still keen to see Konrad as TheBachelor 2022 so bring it on!
