Introducing the segment, Kyle said, “Jed from The Bachelors is the only bachelor still with the girl he picked on TV last night…”
His co-host, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, interrupted: ‘Well, actually, he’s the only bachelor that comes. The other two are not doing anything. [media].’
Kyle then ignited and demanded answers as to why Felix and Thomas were MIA.

‘What’s going on there? What did Channel 10 say about the Bachelors? Why don’t the others light up? she asked.
When guest Jamiee ‘Mayo’ Blazquez said the couple’s breakups with their chosen women hadn’t been ‘so smooth,’ Kyle snapped, ‘So what?’
Mayo continued: ‘It was last minute and everyone left. They just said they don’t want anything to do with it.
Kyle had no sympathy for heartbroken bachelors, saying they had publicity duties to fulfill regardless of how things ended up on the show.
“I keep telling TV stations, ‘Don’t pay the fee until you complete the job,'” he said. ‘How dumb are these people? Who runs these shows?

Kyle and Jackie praised Jed for doing the right thing when facing the press the day after the finale.
A Channel 10 spokeswoman said neither Thomas nor Felix were booked for advertising today, so it was not correct for the KIIS FM producer to say they had “dropped” each other on the show.
“We are focusing on the love story between Alésia and Jed in the final interviews,” he added in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.
However, Thomas and Felix spoke to 10 Play.
