Yahoo News The Bachelor contestants walk out of rose ceremony
We're well used to surprising developments on reality TV by now, but we may have just witnessed a brand new one on The Bachelor Vietnam.
While the show usually sees a male bachelor give roses to female contestants in order to keep them in the competition, and therefore in the running for a relationship with him, the latest edition of the series featured two contestants deciding to leave together.
During the rose ceremony, contestant Minh Thu realised that she wouldn't be receiving a rose from bachelor Nguyen Quoc Trung and so she stepped forward to make her feelings clear.
"I went into this competition to find love and I've found that love for myself, but it isn't with you. It's with someone else," she told him.
She then walked over to her fellow contestant Truc Nhu and tearfully embraced her, before asking her to "come home with me", while all the other contestants looked on.
Nhu – who did have a rose from the bachelor – appeared to agree to leave with Thu, telling Trung that she was "sorry" and adding that he had made her "feel special".
Trung was clearly unhappy about the prospect of losing Nhu, telling her that he wouldn't be giving her rose to anyone else, but she still chose to give the flower back and leave the competition with Thu – the first time such a twist has ever happened in the franchise.
But sadly the romantic ending didn't stick, as Trung visited Nhu after the ceremony to have a heart-to-heart with her – and she ended up changing her mind and deciding to stay in the competition.
Whether she'll end up winning Trung's heart for good remains to be seen...
