After getting her heart shattered into a gajillion pieces on national television, Becca Kufrin wants the world to know that she’s back.
With vengeance.
The scorned winner of The Bachelor Season 22, Kufrin was dumped by Arie Luyendyk Jr. mere weeks after he proposed to her on the show’s emotional finale.
It was a stunning and horrific development for the franchise, but fans at least had their concerns over Becca eased a little bit upon learning that she had been chosen as the next Bachelorette.
Her journey to happiness (we really hope!) gets underway on May 28at 8/7c, with host Chris Harrison teasing Kufrin’s season on Twitter this week via her very first promotional photo.
It features Becca in a beautiful gold gown, a red rose in hand… and a straightforward tagline plastered across the front.
Let’s Do The Damn Thing.
It’s pretty clear Kufrin is not messing around, isn’t it?
This is a woman ready to find love on her terms for once, and she doesn’t plan on letting anyone stand in her way.
The slogan seems to has become somewhat of a mantra for Kufrin, who actually used it when she was announced as the show’s lead back in March.
“Words can’t express everything I’m feeling tonight, but I’m so beyond grateful for the love, support and well-wishes,” Kufrin wrote on Instagram alongside a slideshow of images from After the Final Rose.
She then added:
“I’m beyond excited for this next chapter of my journey and to have shared the start of that all with you tonight.
“Now we’re doing the damn thing.”
Yes you are, Becca.
Kufrin handled her very public embarrassment about as well as anyone could possibly expect.
She really only called out Arie one time, shortly after he tried to claim that he dumped her in front of ABC cameras specifically because he wanted to turn her into a sympathetic figure and, therefore, prompt the network to make her The Bachelorette.
That was a crock of nonsense.
“I don’t think he ever expected me to be [the Bachelorette], or how everything played out,” Becca said in response to this assertion.
And that was basically it.
Becca has had a chance to slam the living heck out of Arie and has constantly chosen to mostly take the high road.
She isn’t looking for attention in this manner, a source recently told Entertainment Tonight.
She’s really just looking for a loving husband.
“She’s not one of those people who went on the show for Instagram followers,” the insider told this outlet, adding of the 28-year old Minnesota native:
“She’s got a killer job, she’s a good person and she really wants to find somebody.”
We sincerely hope she does.
Based on a recent set of The Bachelorette spoilers, we have a clearer idea of who this somebody could be.
And we also know he will come from the following pool of suitors.
