We’re only a week into the new season of The Bachelors, and we’ve already witnessed multiple scandals – including a polyamorous contestant with a boyfriend and an OnlyFans outing. However, tonight’s scandal promises to make Bachelor history – as three women are reportedly quitting the show together.

So Dramatic! has reported that Tash Candyce, Marjorie Griffiths and CJ will walk out together in a mass exodus on the show. The reason for their sudden departure? The fact that one of their fellow contestants Jasmine switched between leads, which caused one of their friends, Marnie Klippelt, to be sent home.

ICYMI, last night’s episode saw Jasmine decide that her current The Bachelors lead choice, Jed, wasn’t the best match for her. The revelation came after contestant Tash exposed Jasmine for having an OnlyFans account on last week’s episode. In the scenes following Jasmine’s breach of privacy, Jed didn’t provide her with the emotional support she needed.

As a result, Jasmine began to wonder if fellow The Bachelors lead Thomas was a better match for her. Jasmine approached Thomas to ask if he’d be willing to get to know her. However, he quickly shut down the idea. Regardless, when Jed offered Jasmine a rose at the rose ceremony, she declined it and returned to the podium with the hope that Thomas would offer her one. Lo and Behold, Thomas took Jed’s spare rose and gave it to Jasmine, which means one of his ladies, Marnie, was sent home.

Some of the women – namely Tash Candyce, Marjorie Griffiths and CJ – were left less than happy when Jasmine received the rose. Now, in tonight’s episode these women will reportedly quit the show in protest.

An insider told So Dramatic! “all the girls were b*tching about how f*cked it was that Marnie left”.

“All the contestants appeared to have an issue with what went down, i.e. that complete bullsh*t fifth rose from Thomas to Jasmine,” a contestant told the podcast’s host.

They added, “CJ went off her rocker about Marnie’s eviction right after it finished. She told producers she wanted to leave then and there, packed her bags and left them by the door.”

The Bachelors airs Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10.
