The Bachelorette’s Blake Colman speaks to WHO about his relationship with Sophie Monk outside of the show, Australia’s ‘hate’ for him and who he wants to win the show.
WHO: Today you’ve made it clear that you’re not a fan of Jarrod. Why is that?
BLAKE COLMAN: What you saw on the show, me and him speak now, but on the show obviously we had quite a few tiffs and a lot of things happened. So it is what it is.
WHO: Have you been in contact with Sophie since you left the Bachelor mansion?
BLAKE: Yes, yes I have.
WHO: So you two are all good now? Because you didn’t seem too happy last night when she sent you home…
BLAKE: It was more surprising. You just got dumped do you stick around and go ‘oh no it’s fine I hope you meet a guy right next to you’? You don’t. It’s just natural.
WHO: Who do you think will win?
BLAKE: Tough choice between Apollo and Stu. I have no idea.
WHO: Who do you want Sophie to choose out of those two?
BLAKE: Umm, I’d say Stu because he’s already at that age and I just see Apollo has got so many great things to accomplish. Either way, it’s really hard, they’re both really good guys.
WHO: Would you consider doing The Bachelor or any other dating shows?
BLAKE: If it worked out to be some good crew and half of Australia didn’t hate me any more then maybe [laughs].
WHO: Do you feel that Australia really does hate you now?
BLAKE: Oh man it’s crazy how many people want to get violent on the comments. I’m like settle down guys it’s just a TV show, there’s bigger problems in life.
WHO: But did you expect to get hate from your Instagram caption last night? You only mentioned Stu and Apollo and didn’t say much about Jarrod.
BLAKE: At the end of the day ask any of the boys, they’d back me up on that. At the end of the day I just think Stu and Apollo are better catches for her.
WHO: Are you still single?
BLAKE: Yes I am still single.
WHO: Are you looking to date?
BLAKE: Whatever comes my way. I’m not openly looking now I’m just concentrating on my life.
WHO: Are you just back to work and normal life now?
BLAKE: Yeah just back doing my thing and figuring out what to do next.
