She was dumped by Nick Cummins in a dramatic rose ceremony on Thursday night’s The Bachelor.

‘Emotionally I was upset because it was like, “Oh, what a waste of time!”,’ the 25-year-old admitted.

‘I was very overwhelmed and it was pretty intense and I think I just feel a bit ripped off to be honest,’ Shannon told the publication shortly after her elimination.

‘I stuck around, I did the hard yards, it’s not easy being there and I wasn’t given the opportunity to show Nick who I was,’ the blonde continued. 

Shannon reflected on her very tearful exit from the mansion during Thursday night’s episode.

‘Emotionally I was upset because it was like “Oh, what a waste of time, I’ve been here and I didn’t really get my chance”, but at least I stayed true to myself,’ she said.

The fairy tale was over for Shannon on Thursday night’s episode of The Bachelor when Nick, 30, gave her the boot. 

And the car care consultant didn’t take the rejection well, breaking down in tears as the former sports star told her it was over at the rose ceremony.  

Nick appeared uncomfortable as Shannon desperately told him about what could have been.

‘You haven’t got to know me. I was hanging onto sh*t, man,’  Shannon said as she was escorted outside to an awaiting car. 

Making sure Nick knew what he was missing, she then added: ‘You should have given it another day. We would have made a great couple!’

‘Shaz, this environment, it is hard,’ the footballer awkwardly responded. 

Shannon sobbed in the car as it drove away from the mansion, prompting sympathetic Tweets from viewers.
