But what happens behind the scenes still remains a mystery, until now.

POPSUGAR Australia had the opportunity to find out all the tea, as we asked the women living in The Bachelor mansion to answer the question we’ve all been wanting to know the answer to: What do they do in their downtime?
This is what they had to say.

Holly
“When we get spare time in the mansion, I spend my time cooking, reading, working out, going for walks around the mansion, listening to music (on my very outdated iPod with songs my best friend uploaded for me prior to coming into the mansion), journaling, laying out in the sun or scrubbing off my fake tan! I regularly plan little activities or fun things for cocktail parties when I pull Jimmy aside too. Time goes so quickly at cocktail parties so it’s always nice to figure out a way to utilise time best with him.”

Carlie
“My usual day-to-day life is really busy so I really enjoyed the downtime in the mansion, free from technology! I spent my spare time in the gym, chatting in the garden, relaxing in the jacuzzi, writing in my journal and reading Harry Potter – what a life!”

Rebekah
“We were fortunate enough to have a tennis court so I tried to play tennis every day. We also binged a lot of tv series and movies together (cute bonding moments).”
Network Ten
Brooke
“Gossip, gossip, and more gossip (is this classified?) Jokes! No, other than working out, writing down some song lyrics, cooking, eating, playing tennis…”
Network Ten
Stevie
“When I had time to kill, I found myself doing lots of puzzles! This kept me occupied for hours!”

Ashleigh
“In the mansion, I would read, sunbake, gym and often dip into the jacuzzi!”

Tahnee
“Aside from gossiping with the girls about cocktail party antics and our communal boyfriend? I do a lot of meditating in the mansion to keep my head in a good place, I also journal as I have the memory of a sieve and I don’t want to forget all the amazing and crazy things I’m getting up to!”
Network Ten
Laura
“I mostly read! When I ran out of books to read I ordered more online and when I got through those I had people from the crew bring books in for me! I also do a bit of study (I brought GAMSAT study materials with me- which is a test to get into post-grad medicine) so that also keeps my mind busy! Sometimes I play board games or watch movies with the gals as well.”

Jay
“I have so many hobbies. I love to mix life up, currently tennis, board games and running which helps my mental clarity and also develop recipes that are easy and nutritious.”
