The Bachelor: Vanessa Sunshine’s ‘extremely blunt’ post-elimination rant

OH, BOY. Vanessa Sunshine has delivered an “extremely blunt” review of her Bachelor experience, calling out the “cliquey” behaviour of the other women.

VANESSA Sunshine has delivered an explosive tirade about her time on The Bachelor after being dumped from the show by Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins during a group camping date.

Shortly after the elimination aired, Vanessa, 27, took to Instagram to claim she gives
“zero f**ks” before criticising the “clickyness (sic)” of the other contestants.

Before Nick decided not to give her a rose during Thursday night’s episode, he’d pulled her aside to ask her about Romy Poulier’s claims that she wasn’t attracted to him.

Vanessa didn’t hold back, telling him she’d wanted to give him a makeover when they first met.

“I’m like, ‘Who’s this dude?’ Blond, curly mullet with this, like, curly moustache …” she said honestly.

“Look, she’s not feeling the Badger vibes. Fair enough,” a defeated Nick told producers afterwards.

In an “extremely blunt” video post on Instagram, Vanessa defended her behaviour on the show.

“I will never ever put someone on a pedestal who hasn’t earned the right to be there,” she said defiantly.

“My approach was a wild card. You’re used to watching women automatically fall for the Bachelor … Obviously I was a different kind of woman thrown into the mix this season. I was 100 per cent true to myself, did not compromise my morals and values, get caught up in ‘clickyness’ (sic) or group dynamics that do not interest me.”

Vanessa added that she “owns the resting b**ch face look”, and that her attitude is “give zero f**ks”.

“I know who I am, can back myself, know my value and worth and no one is going to take that from me,” she said, before having a subtle dig at the other contestants.

“When entering this experience I was looking for someone funny and genuine … However, I never had a preconceived idea that ‘The Bachelor’ was ‘the one’ for me.”

While Romy may not be devastated to see the end of Vanessa, Bachelor fans definitely were — with some even calling for her to be the next Bachelorette.
