Thursday night’s episode of The Bachelor Australia saw the girls battle it out for Richie’s heart through a series of sporting challenges.

Faith scored a date after beating Keria in a wrestling matching, complete with kangaroo suits.

Meanwhile, Kiki finally got some one-on-one time with Richie after she was picked for the solo date. Although there was no smooching, he did give the model a rose.

Sadly, the show’s resident rose eater Sasha was sent home in a tense ceremony. Woman’s Day caught up with the reality star to talk all things Bachie!

SASHA, 31, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

How did it feel when you were eliminated?

To be honest, I was quite disappointed that my adventure was over but at the same time, I’ve gotta go and make sure Richie finds the one! Obviously I didn’t have a connection with him and we weren’t suitable for each other and that’s OK. It’s life, sometimes you fall for someone and sometimes you don’t.

Was Richie the guy for you?

He could have been if I got a chance to actually go on dates with him but unfortunately I wasn’t his type. You know, it’s totally fine.

Was he your type?

He wasn’t 100% my type, I never go for strawberry blondes. I’d never thought he could be my type to start with but when we started going on dates and I got to know him a little bit more, he came across as quite genuine and a good guy.

So then I thought, hair colour is not as important! It’s all about what’s on the inside.

“He wasn’t 100% my type, I never go for strawberry blondes,” Sasha tells us of Richie.

Who were you closest to in the house?

Keira and I became quite good friends.

Are we seeing the real Keira on the show?

No, that is not the real Keira. Not only do I not think [that’s her], I know Keira quite well and I know she’s not as crazy as she’s been portrayed. She’s quite a good person in real life!

Have you hit up any dating apps since leaving the house?

No, absolutely not! I’m not dating anyone. I’m really happy with myself.

Can you confirm or deny the rumours that Richie may smell?

I’m unable to comment on that, unfortunately I wasn’t lucky enough to be close to him.

Sasha, who won a legion of fans thanks to her rose eating antics, says she’s still single.

What are your thoughts on Alex and that white rose?

To me it was a bit predictable. I could see Alex really falling for him straight away and guys do like that. Guys choose girls who are crazy about them. Yeah he chose Alex, she also has a son. That all worked out well, she’s a pretty attractive girl so why not?

Do you think Alex abused her privilege of having the white rose?

I don’t think so but I know that we were so sensitive at the time and you guys have no idea what we were going through in the house! Especially when it’s a cocktail party and we’re all pretty and there’s limited time of Richie and us.

Tension was there when we all wanted to have a little piece of Richie. She didn’t abuse it but at the same time, we were quite sensitive to every single minute [people spent with him].

Do you have any regrets?

Absolutely not! I loved it, I had great fun, I met amazing people! It was a great adventure. I had a chance to shine, dress up in amazing designer dresses and it was fantastic, do random dates! It was a lot of fun.

Who do you think will win?

Alex, Nikki or Megan… There are a lot of girls who are very in love with him already. All of those girls have the potential to be the winner.
