The Bachelor: the mass exodus that Jimmy Nicholson did not see coming as three candidates resigned

The Bachelor is only in its third week, and there has already been a whirlwind of drama, including fights and double eliminations.

And Daily Mail Australia can reveal that this is just the beginning, as a mass exodus is expected to occur in the next few episodes.

Thursday night’s episode will see a contestant escorted by the 32-year-old pilot following a disagreement.

Gold Coast-based speech-language pathologist Ashleigh Freckleton Tatum Hargraves and online player Stephanie Lynch will be sent home sooner rather than later.

While things seemed to be going well between Jimmy and Steph after their date in the air force on Wednesday, their romance will soon fall apart.

These rumors of departures would have occurred over the course of a few days during filming in April, and will play out in future episodes.

“Steph has a huge fight with another contestant Jimmy on camera and she says she wants to go so he gets rid of her,” a source told Daily Mail Australia.

Rebekah Modernel will also be sent in her luggage after an off-camera “merger”.

“Beck melted and she was in a closet crying, she was just like ‘I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home,’ the insider explained.

“We all knew Beck was just fucking screwing up and she was about to come out and that’s when she got kicked out,” the source added.

“Holly said something that really upset her and she just didn’t want to be there anymore.”

According to the Channel 10 insider, the producers felt like they had no choice but to send the girls who didn’t want to be there to avoid other unexpected changes to their filming schedule.

The Bachelor continues Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 10
