Bachelor Australia contestants Abbie Chatfield and Sogand Mohtat are at war - but is it all for show?

The feud between Bachelor Australia's Sogand and Abbie might just be for ratings after all

The drama that started with Abbie Chatfield and former Bachie contestant Monique Morley has now mutated into an even juicier feud between the blonde bombshell and mansion-mate Sogand Mohtat.

But viewers have noticed some suspicious editing fails that seem to suggest the girls’ fierce rivalry might not be as full-on as it seems on the show.

As their face-off hit a peak on Wednesday night’s episode, Sogand had more than a few things to say about Abbie – to her face and behind the scenes.

And it was the 30-year-old’s chats to camera that left fans wondering if the bad blood between them is actually that bad, when it was noted that Sogand wore no fewer than five different outfits during her various pieces over the course of the evening.

Of course, the possibility that Sogand just has a lot (like, a lot) to say about Abbie can’t be totally thrown out. Maybe she just really wanted to share All Of The Feelings about what went down that night.

Either that or producers didn’t get as much tea as they wanted so they went back for more. Five times.

Or maybe Sogand just likes a costume change?

And, to be fair, Abbie showed off a few different lewks in her bits to camera, too.

But even if Sogand didn’t say all of those things on the night of the girls’ face-off, we can’t call that not strong proof the rivalry isn’t real.

The civil engineer certainly had a lot to say to when she spoke to Sunday Confidential about the drama that unfolded on Wednesday night.

"I couldn't hold back after seeing how Abbie was one way in front of us girls when the cameras were rolling, then another way to Matt. She is a manipulator and it is time I tell her how it is," she dished.

She also revealed she wouldn't normally associate with "people like Abbie" and still can't comprehend her "malicious" behaviour which she says was the cause of "all this drama".

There’s been no love lost between Sogand and Abbie ever since Abbie not only kissed Matt at a cocktail party but also broke the news to Matt about what Monique had said behind his back – a move that saw Mon booted from the Bach pad.

The shock eviction comes after beef between Mon and fellow contestant Abbie Chatfield hit fever pitch on Wednesday night, when Abbie told Matt that Monique had been bad-mouthing him behind his back.

"She called you a dog c--- and a disrespectful pig" the 23-year-old shared during their one-on-one date.

After Monique swore up and down that she definitely, 100 percent would not and did not say those things (or was it that she didn't remember saying it? Or didn't remember the context she said them in? We're a bit lost right now...), Matt just couldn't deal anymore.

"At the end of the day, it's not what Mon said that I'm having trouble with, it's the lie," he explains of his decision to walk the 26-year-old.
