Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky is ‘applauding’ Corrine for her behavior on this season of The Bachelor, despite not condoning it.
This season of The Bachelor has already been an insane one, if for no other reason than we have Corinne in our lives. The villain of the season — clearly — and is someone who has divided most Bachelor viewing parties right down the center.
Whether it’s the whole nanny thing that people harp on to the way that she acts and treats the other women of the house, Corinne is as polarizing as it gets. Former Bachelorette contestant Ali Fedotowsky is among those who aren’t condoning the actions of Corinne but is playing the role of a moderate voter in admitting that she also enjoys her antics from an entertainment perspective.
Here’s what Ali said in her recent blog post:
"“Look, she said a lot of crazy stuff this episode, but man, she was funny!” Fedotowsky wrote. “I hate to applaud her behavior (because I don’t condone it), but I really couldn’t help but laugh at the things she was saying last night. They were funny! I mean she had some one-liner GEMS! … And there was a whole lot of ‘poopy’ talk that had me in tears laughing. I think Corrine is smarter than she lets on. It takes some wit to be that funny, in my opinion.”"
While it might be easy to hammer Ali for basically talking out of both sides of her mouth in regards to Corinne, she’s not wrong. Anyone claiming to want to cut Corinne out of their lives is a liar, as she’s one of the most entertaining things about this season’s show.
To be clear, Ali isn’t condoning the action of Corinne, rather she’s being honest. Later in her blog post, she mentioned that she didn’t approve of the way Corinne treated the other house members — which highlights the love/hate relationship America has entered with our new favorite Bachelor villain.
