We all know that behind the scenes of reality TV, life isn't always pretty. But to learn that New Zealand producers may also stoop to these lows is super disappointing. 

Claudia Hoskins, who made it to the final three in The Bachelor NZ, has shared the journal entries she made during her time filming the show in a recent blog post. 

Most of the blog post and the journal entries was focused around her weight, with Claudia writing "imagine flatting with 18 other girls and your only responsibility is to not get fat and work on great chat for a possible date."

The most shocking part of her journal came from her entry on 27th January, that states that Tim Tam's had been "banned" from the mansion as the girls were "putting on weight".

Note the day Tim-Tams were banned. A very sad day for this foodie.

Does this mean that the producers/creators of The Bachelor limited and controlled food? We really hope not!

If this is true, we also wonder how Tim Tam, the major sponsor of the show, would feel about this? The ban, however, didn't stop the girls from promoting the bickie on their Instagram profiles.
