How has this experience changed your life?
At the mall, random people will come up to me now. These little girls came up to me and they were wearing little tiaras and they were, like, really happy and excited to see me. That was nice; it was nice to have a pleasant encounter like that. But I was at a bar, a lot of people wanted to come up and say mean things. I found the situation really amusing, because these people I don’t know had such a strong opinion of me, almost like hatred. They must not have much going on in their lives. That’s why I’m happy I’m moving to L.A., because everyone here has other things to worry about.
Were you a fan of The Bachelor before you were on the show?
I was fan of the show — some seasons more than others. I liked the Andrew Firestone one because he was cool. I liked the Bachelor Bob one because he was so sleazy and hooked up with every girl. I thought that was funny. I didn’t really watch last season, because I thought the Bachelor was really boring and the girls were really boring.
What do you think of this season?
I think this season is better than it’s been in a really long time for a lot of reasons. When it’s an actual prince — and not just an alleged Prince Charming — then that raises the stakes. I think I definitely made the show a lot more interesting because I was not afraid to be myself.
What other TV shows are you into?
I really like the show Girls Next Door. I can’t lie. I do watch The Simple Life when it’s on. And sadly enough, I’ve been watching the show Flavor of Love. I don’t really know why — I think it reminds me of The Bachelor.
