(We've basically disowned "ACT groom" Bryce Ruthven. Look, he only lived here for five minutes anyway. Old gaslighting Bryce has really emerged as the villain of the piece, what with his carry-on at this week's dinner party, fighting with fellow groom Sam and following in the age-old MAFS tradition of chucking a drink on your enemy. But worst of all, he's been really mean to his TV bride Melissa. Enough!)

Bryce, a former HIT 104.7 announcer in Canberra, told The Canberra Times before the show started that he was heading to Melbourne to work for Nova 100.

A spokeswoman for Nova said Bryce had done a "couple of casual shifts" for the radio station but there was nothing permanent in the offing.

Word on the street is that the depiction of hot-headed Bryce on the show is pretty spot-on, and not a case of sneaky editing.

Meanwhile, hairdresser-turned-property-flipper Samantha, a mum of two boys from Weston Creek, has been touted on social media as a perfect choice for the next Bachelorette. She certainly deserves better.
