The Bachelor suffers an embarrassing editing fail during the rose ceremony that EXPOSES the producers’ sneaky tactics… so did YOU spot it?
Eagle-eyed Bachelor fans spotted a major editing fail on Wednesday’s episode.
During the rose ceremony, which saw Zoe-Clare McDonald and Clare Lange sent home in a double elimination, Bella Varelis was spotted holding a rose before her name was even called out.
As Bel Colwell walked up to Locky Gilbert to receive her rose, front-runner Bella was seen holding a flower behind her.

Locky eventually called out Bella’s name towards the end of the rose ceremony and they shared a warm embrace.
The editing fail reveals how producers sometimes edit the eliminations out of order in order to draw attention to certain contestants.
Showing Bella towards the end of the segment – even though Locky seems to have handed her a rose early on – places a greater emphasis on her.
This isn’t surprising given that she is rumoured to make it to the finale.

During Wednesday’s rose ceremony, Locky sent home fiery redhead Zoe-Clare and blonde beauty Clare.
And while Zoe-Clare went quietly, viewers had plenty to say about why the outspoken reality star was sent home, voicing their thoughts on Twitter.
“It’s not you, it’s your hair,” Locky whispered as he said goodbye to Zoe-Clare…’ tweeted one viewer.
‘I like to imagine Zoe-Clare crying on the car ride home, absolutely convinced that she got sent home because of her hair colour,’ wrote one fan.
Added another: ‘Zoe-Clare didn’t get a rose because Locky was discriminating against red heads’.

Others thought Zoe-Clare deserved to be recognised for her contribution to the redheaded community.
‘Posthumously nominating Zoe-Clare for a Nobel Peace Prize for her trailblazing ranga rights campaign,’ tweeted one fan.
‘NOT ZOE-CLARE! What will the mildly but not really red-headed community do now without their leader?’ added another.
Shortly after her arrival on this year’s Bachelor, Zoe-Clare went on a lengthy rant about how redheads are regularly discriminated against.
‘What’s wrong with a ranga? I’m sorry, do you want me to dye my hair every 10 seconds, I’m so sorry but this is natural guys. This is not going anywhere!’ she fumed.
The Bachelor continues Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel Ten
