Sogand Mohtat has officially left The Bachelor mansion taking with her this season’s – in my opinion – best sneaky side-eye. Speaking of her exit to PEDESTRIAN.TV, the engineer broke down her time in the mansion from all the Drama to the [checks notes] vagina parties.

But in short, Sogand realised she had gotten too caught up in the drama and missed out on getting to know Bachie Matt. And just as she opened up to the bloke at the cocktail party, Matt sent her packing.
PTV: What were you expecting going into The Bachelor?
S: Definitely not what it turned out to be. It was a lot harder than I expected for sure.
It was just emotionally draining and I definitely didn’t expect it to be. I’ve been through a lot in my life and I’m a pretty strong person but I definitely did struggle with all the mind games.
PTV: What was it like meeting Snez and Laura?
S: It was actually really nice talking to someone who’s been in our shoes and they’ve gone through the same thing, felt the same feelings, and emotions. After I had the chat with them I did sort of realise that I had gotten caught up in the drama so that’s why I chose to have a chat with Matt at the cocktail party.
PTV: And were you happy with how your final one-on-one time with Matt went?
S: I thought it went well. I think it was my chance to let him know that I was still interested. I did want some extra time with him even though I had let him know a few times at previous cocktail parties. I guess I wasn’t as forward as some of the other girls. And you know, I had a moment realising I had taken a back seat for too long and that maybe I was too late so I got a bit emotional.
PTV: Despite what you think about Abbie, were you even just a little surprised when she convinced Elly to hand over her date card?
S: Not at all. I mean Abbie can talk herself out of anything and she’s pretty good at that. And Elly is just such a nice person so that was expected.
PTV: When did you start to feel a bit suss about Abbie?
S: At the beginning she kept saying that she wasn’t interested in Matt and that he wasn’t exactly her type. Which is fine because not everyone is going to be fully into him from day one. But then when we were on group dates or just hanging out with Matt, she seemed so interested and she would answer the questions in a way that Matt wanted to hear and it just – it was a little bit hard for us to watch because we had all developed feelings for this guy and we were being truthful and honest. And there she was playing that game.
PTV: Would you say there was as much tension between you as there seemed to be on TV?
S: There was definitely more to my journey and Abbie and I’s, I guess, friendship in the house. We had some good times, we would sit down together and have a giggle. So yeah it definitely wasn’t all drama but who doesn’t love a bit of drama?
PTV: Have you guys been in touch since filming?
S: Well I tried to reach out to her because I don’t like to hold a grudge or be on bad terms with anyone so I did send her a text hoping that we could be civil and move past all the drama. Like we don’t have to be friends but we could be good but she never responded. So… I did my bit…
PTV: Do you reckon you would change anything if you could redo your time on The Bachelor?
S: I mean, I don’t regret anything but I’d probably just stay away from Abbie.
PTV: This is a bit random but I heard the girls bonded by having vagina parties. What’s the go?
S: Yeaaah, it did happen. The first time was a bit intimate and I was a part of it. But the second one was the whole house and I just had to pretend I was asleep on the couch.
It all started when the girls were talking about different parts and then we just started giving different examples and that’s how it all started. Next thing you know the whole house has joined in.
The Bachelor continues tonight 7.30 on Channel 10.
