The Bachelor in Paradise dates and drama will come to a halt on Tuesday night when ABC airs Chris Harrison’s interview with Corinne Olympios.
The DeMario-Corinne situation has taken up most of the season, leaving fans with very little time to watch relationships unfold on Bachelor in Paradise. It’s speed dating at best. After tonight, there are just two weeks to go until the season finale.
During tonight’s episode, we may get to see Robby throw a glow stick in his hair. That’s about all there will be time for — the beachfront drama will be cut short during the second hour of the show. Corinne will sit down with Chris Harrison and a panel of Bachelor in Paradise experts (Raven, Robby, Jasmine, Diggy, etc.) will weigh in on Corinne’s chatter. Watch a video clip of tonight’s interview below.
Corinne talks about being a victim
When the sh*t hit the Bachelor in Paradise fan two months ago, Corinne was quick to issue a statement that said, among other things, she was a “victim.” Prior to tonight’s interview, Olympios explained what she meant by that in an interview with People.
“I saw myself as a victim of having something this serious happen to you and have the media paint you a certain way that you know you aren’t and having all these people make their judgments and comments and they don’t even know what happened or went on. That’s what I’m a victim of. I never meant that I was a victim of DeMario.”
During tonight’s interview, Corinne will re-confirm that she doesn’t blame DeMario. She also admits to drinking too much on the Paradise set.
“I strongly believe he had no bad intentions at all,” Olympios tells People. “It was all good. It was unfortunate that no one really knew how intoxicated I actually was at the time. I believe that nobody knew that. It was nobody’s fault. I was a victim of not really knowing what happened at the time.”
Olympios is expected to back up her claims that needed therapy for “therapy for physical and emotional trauma” she apparently suffered from the fall out of the sexual abuse scandal.
Corinne’s new man and future plans
Corinne has been on a media tour in the days leading up to tonight’s tell-all (or tell some?). Last week, she told the Hollywood Reporter she is no longer dating Jordan Gielchinsky, the guy she dated before, during, and after she taped Bachelor in Paradise.
Oh, and she’s dating a new guy, but didn’t disclose his name.

And if you’re the least bit interested in what Corinne is doing now that she’s cleared the air about the scandal that made her a “victim,” you’ll hear about that, too.
Unless producers cut her interview down to four minutes, she’ll probably ramble on about her new projects.
She revealed to the Hollywood Reporter that she’s working on a reality TV show and a scripted show. And yes, she’ll star in both.
No word on which network will pick up the Corn Show (or whatever she’s going to name it), but we’re not going to hold our breath for a premiere date.
