Bachelorette calls Art 'a dick' before she gets the boot

Eliminated Bachelore NZ contestant, Brigette.

The writing was on the wall for Bachelorette Brigitte if the ads were anything to go by.

The titillating clip showed Brigitte telling Art he was "a dick" in no uncertain terms.

In fact, she said: "I think you're a dick."

But it was all fun and games and she was just teasing the easy-going Bachelor. But it made Art question whether he and Brigitte had that special something or if they were just mates.

Moments later in the rose ceremony, the cheeky brunette was left empty-handed.

We caught up with her about her time in the Bachelor mansion.

Are you sad to have left The Bachelor NZ?
I was a lot more emotional than I thought I would have been, when the reality hit I was going home it meant my amazing journey had come to an end. But I was very content as I feel there are other beautiful woman remaining that have a stronger connection with Art.

Did you enter the show expecting to find 'the one'?
I didn't 'expect' as such... but I knew there was a possibility that this 'mystery man' could quite possibly be my Mr Right.

Is Art Green as nice as he seems?
100 % (except when he throws sneaky dodge balls at your head)

How did all the girls get along when the cameras weren't around? Was there any cattiness?
Cattiness? No, us kittens played nicely.

Did anything happen on the show that you wish hadn't been cut for TV?
There was a lot more to the 'bathroom upset scene' and of course there was that one little time I mayyyyy have called the handsome bachelor "a dick". But there was more to that too! Though I'm sure NZ is smart enough to understand that my words were not at all intended to harm his feelings. Art and I have a great friendship, we are very tongue in cheek.

What's the best piece of behind-the-scenes goss you can give us?
I mayyy have known Danielle L was considering saying no to the rose before anyone else .....Shhhh!

Have you found love since your time on The Bachelor?
I have so much love and affection to give, unfortunately this is just put to dogs at the moment - I literally cross the road to pat one even if I'm running late! So nope, no man has come into my life just yet. Not even a 'Benji'.
