Bachelorette Brooke Blurton has spoken out following some online comments that were disappointed she chose a male, in Darvid Garayeli, over female runner-up Jamie-Lee Dayz.
Blurton has told Guardian Australia comments were a failure to understand bisexuality.
“[People online] write this horrible comment and you’re like, ‘You have no idea, and you’re just making a snap judgment on our relationship already’,” she says. “It’s just disappointing to see.
“I read a couple of comments and it was like, I think these people just don’t get the meaning of bisexual, which is an attraction to male and female … I just was really frustrated with the level of biphobia that was happening,” Blurton says.
“I really opened myself up this season and showed so much vulnerability in doing it, and I did it bloody proudly. I loved it. And I’m still friggin’ bisexual! Just because I’m with Darvid doesn’t mean my attraction to women just stops.”
“It was pretty disheartening to read [the online comments],” Garayeli adds. “Being such a big groundbreaking TV series, people obviously wanted a certain result … so I get that.”

We must assume that Brooke choose the person that she most fancied.
That happened to be Darvid. So good luck to the both of them!
100% agree.
The most dissapointing part was the female cast. Some with zero past relationships with a woman/curious and so young. It was not a true representation of Bisexual or Lesbians. They are looks straight. They really failed in my eyes! I knew she would end up with a guy based on the poor casting of females.
Eh, what? Are they all supposed to be butchy? Come on.
No but throw in a few! It was not good enough.
It didn’t really bother me whether she ended up with a man or a woman but I was 99% sure she would pick Janie-Lee. I thought she seemed to have the strongest connection with her from the start.
