‘I’m over this f**king pot plant’: The Bachelorette’s ‘plantgate’ saga has drawn the ire of fans online, after Thursday’s episode continued to document Jarrod Woodgate’s ongoing investigation into who urinated in his potted plant
The drama began in an earlier episode of the show, in which Woodgate and Bachelorette Sophie Monk planted seeds in a pot plant.
The contestant has maintained the seeds were planted in a ‘circle of love,’ but began to suspect another cast member urinated in the dish after they failed to sprout.
On Thursday, Woodgate pulled Monk aside to inform her that contrary to his prior concerns, the seeds – which he viewed as a symbol of their love – had begun to grow.
