In a fitting finale, host Sophie Monk presented the pair with two eggs — one with a $50,000 cash prize and the other with nothing.
It was up to Claudia to decide whether to share the money with Austen or keep it all to herself to show if her feelings for Austen were really based on love or just money.
In the end, Claudia chose love and strengthened the couple’s bond with each other.
