As previously noted, Corinne Olympios never wants to receive a rose ever again.
Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel just a couple hours after viewers saw her get eliminated on The Bachelor, Olympios said she was taking a new tact to dating.
She told the host that she was through trying to impress men… that they should just love her for who she truly is… and also:
“If anyone ever tries to give me red roses again, I think I might punch them in the face.”
That’s fair, right? Considering all she went through as one of the women who advanced very far on the latest season of this ABC competition?
Due to our unparalleled section of The Bachelor spoilers, we’ve known for weeks that Corinne would not win Nick Viall’s heart.
But the controversial contestant said throughout her media rounds on Tuesday that she was shocked when she didn’t receive a flower this week.
She was also heartbroken.
Still, this doesn’t mean Corinne wouldn’t be interesting in actually being the one to hand out roses at some point in the future.
Oh, yes, are you listening The Bachelorette producers? Someone is about to make you a pitch.
“That’d be really amazing,” Olympios told Entertainment Tonight of becoming The Bachelorette, adding:
“Of course I would do it, it’s an amazing opportunity for anyone who gets asked.”
Someone has already been asked, however.
ABC confirmed late last month that Rachel Lindsay will take on this role for Season 13, finally giving the series an African-American anchor.
We somehow doubt executives will change their mind and replace her with Corinne. Even if Corinne has proven that she’ll do pretty much anything on camera.
“People saying that I used sex or my sexuality to get roses is just stupid,” Olympios told ET, defending her personality on the show.
“I know I definitely was a little bit promiscuous, but it’s a TV show, so it did look a little more promiscuous and a little bit more heightened.
“But you know, I did what I did and you know, no regrets.”
Olympios told Kimmel that she never considered herself to be a villain because she never acted in a malicious manner to Nick or any of her fellow suitors.
But she is aware of the reputation she cultivated during her run on The Bachelor.
“I think that maybe I was a little bit slut-shamed, but come on, if there’s no sexual attraction then just don’t even bother,” she told ET. “To all you women out there, take that advice…
“Going on the show takes a lot of guts. If you’re going to do it, go big or go home, baby!”
And now Corinne has, indeed, gone home.
Will she end up on Bachelor in Paradise? It’s pretty safe bet.
Will she end up as The Bachelorette? The odds are against it?
But would you WANT to see her as The Bachelorette? Would you want to see her as The Bachelorette over Rachel Lindsay? There’s something we can at least debate.
