Last night, marked the first night of the new season of The Bachelorette. Fellow Minnesotan like me, Becca Kufrin started her journey to find love. To mark the new season, I wanted to make this interview Bachelorette themed.
Lacey Mark who has previously been on the #Whitterview and one of my favorite people on this planet has broke down this episode of The Bachelorette. Lacey, was a contestant on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor and was on Bachelor in Paradise last summer.
In the wise words of Becca, the Bachelorette- "Let's do the damn thing!"
What were your thoughts on the entrances?
LM: Well the guy with the ox should have sprung for the camel obviously. But overall, I think they were entertaining! I genuinely laughed out loud at the entrance with the hearse. Very clever. The choir was also cool. To everyone who made an Arie reference in their entrance---you are cancelled, unsubscribe.
Who was your favorite entrance?
LM: CHICKEN GUY!! It was no Alexis Waters in a dolphin suit, but he was very committed.
The first night occurs throughout the entire night into morning- correct? What are these contestants feeling? What’s going through their minds?
LM: All rose ceremonies go until the early morning hours. If you pay attention, sometimes you can see the sun rising in the background. By that point in the night everyone is so exhausted and delirious—at least I was. And my feet were killing me from my heels! Sometimes you feel confident sometimes you feel insecure, but you’re so tired from the night you can’t tell which emotion you’re feeling and when! I imagine it’s the same for the Bachelor/Bachelorette.
The past 3 bachelorettes have gotten engaged to the guy who got their first impression rose- do you see that happening this season?
LM: I think women are very smart and intuitive. And I especially think Becca knows exactly what she’s looking for---so there’s a very high chance this will be the case!
Do any give you “here for the wrong reasons” vibes?
LM: Um JORDAN. Hands down.
Do you think we might see one or two of the first night elimination guys on Paradise?
LM: I’m hoping we see grocery store Joe!!! He is so unbelievably charming. I think my boyfriend is getting jealous at how much I tweeted about him last night.
As for paradise itself- did the producers just call you up one day?
LM: I let the producers know that I was interested in going and then the rest was up to them. Paradise casting is different from The Bachelor. They could fly you down to Mexico and tell you you’re going to be on Paradise but then change their minds and you never get sent to the beach. I was thankful they decided to put me on it so early! It’s so much easier to make lasting relationships when you’re there the entire time.
What past contestants do you see as being on Paradise this summer?
LM: I would love to see Ben Higgins give it a shot! I just have a soft spot for him, I think he’s great. Chris Strandburg would be a very attractive addition 
. And I would love to see more Jasmine on my television screen, she’s the best.
Who do you see being the villain this season?
LM: Jordan will rub everyone he talks to the wrong way. For sure.
Any early favorites?
LM: So far, I like Lincoln, Colton and Chicken Guy (he will forever be Chicken Guy. Seems like a missed opportunity that he didn’t bring McNuggets with him).
If you were the bachelorette, who would you have sent home the first night?
LM: Who’s the guy that told Becca to go 60 and he’ll go 40? That guy. Bad move, guy. I believe is job title was also Social Media Participant………
Thoughts on this seasons preview (at the end of the episode)
LM: I think guy drama is way more entertaining than girl drama which is why I prefer The Bachelorette to The Bachelor. I’m veryyyy interested to see where this all goes.
What were your thoughts of the episode as a whole? Boring? Funny?
LM: These producers know how to make great television. The Bachelorette will NEVER be boring. And Becca seems to have a lot of energy and spunk. I have high hopes for this season.
If you could set up your bff Alyssa with one of Becca’s contestants who would it be?
LM: I would say Colton or Jason (the twitter relationship has been initiated, I will keep you posted). But honestly, I’d rather just see Alyssa as The Bachelorette be verrrrry honest with some of these guys. They wouldn’t know what hit them.
