WARNING: SPOILER. SPOILER. SPOILER.
(You have been warned).
UPDATE: Thursday, Oct. 22, 9:35 p.m. AEST: Late on Thursday night, Channel Ten won a court injunction to have the Daily Mail remove the spoiler story from their website, according to Mumbrella.
As predicted, Sasha Mielczarek, the man who was photographed with the bachelorette in the hours before the announcement won Sam Frost's heart.

As Australia gears up for the highly, highly anticipated finale of The Bachelorette, something terrible has occurred.
The Daily Mail have got their hands on paparazzi photographs showing the bachelorette Sam Frost getting hot and handsy with Sasha Mielczarek, who is one of the two men remaining on the show, in a hotel room. (Story now deleted)
It is either their coming-out-to-the world photoshoot or the biggest decoy in history.
If it is proven to be what it appears -- a steamy love sesh, complete with bum grab -- the couple have kept their relationship under wraps since filming ended four months ago but spoiled the fun just hours before the finale is set to air.
This is sure to send network bosses into a total meltdown, as anticipation reached peak Bachie on Thursday and the show was looking toward a stellar night in viewer numbers.
It could be a ploy, or it could be real life. Either way, Australia has collectively freaked the hell out.
There was emotional confusion.
A CERTAIN website has just SPOILED THE #BacheloretteAU. I'm annoyed and overjoyed. And still getting on the wines watching the finale— Jacqui Kassulke (@kassulke) October 22, 2015
There was denial.
Seriously those pics could've been taken at any time during the series. The last one Sashas wearing a different shirt. #BacheloretteAU— CharlieBucket (@CharlieBBucket) October 22, 2015
There was thankfulness.
@DailyMailAU annoyance aside, I'm actually overjoyed to finally read a REAL spoiler. #BacheloretteAU #BachSasha — Bonnie Collis (@bonniecollis) October 22, 2015
There was doubt.
Daily Mail all but reveals who wins #BacheloretteAU after papping Frost + contestant today. It would be AMAZING if the other guy won it.— Kristian Silva (@kristian_silva) October 22, 2015
There were total mental breakdowns.
DID PEOPLE SEE THOSE PAP PICS OF SAM ARE THEY REAL I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS RIGHT NOW #bacheloretteau— Jenna Ghoullaume (@JennaGuillaume) October 22, 2015
There was relief.
I have never felt so conflicted. I hate you for ruining the #BacheloretteAU & I love you for putting me to ease! #TeamSasha @DailyMailAU— Savannah Bafford (@savannahbafford) October 22, 2015
And then there was revenge plotting.
SPOILER ALERT: NOT GO ON DAILY MAIL. YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS DAILY MAIL. #BacheloretteAU— Jo Robin (@Jofacekillah) October 22, 2015
And full-blown ANGER.
