Contestant Lace Morris calls out Ben in making eye contact…or lack thereof!

Ben Higgins’ season had a lot of strong, opinionated, and independent women, but one particular contestant, Lace Morris, was really tired of Ben not “making eye contact” with her.

She consistently reminded him that she has a “bold personality” and told him “I swear, I’m not crazy”. Yikes. Not the thing to tell someone when you just met them and isn’t that what crazy people say before they do something crazy? Hmm.

The season’s ‘villain’ Olivia Caridi offending other contestants

If you watched this season, you remember Olivia Caridi. Oh, Olivia.

Olivia was the person who seemed to say the things most people were 1) either not supposed to say out loud, or 2) not supposed to say PERIOD.

She started out the season rough by pulling Ben aside several times, must to the dismay of the other women. Oftentimes she’d pull this classic move prior to the other ladies in the house getting their solo time with Ben.

And as expected, she continued to rub the women the wrong way as the season progressed.

Amanda, one of the women who was well known to be a single mother of two, was told by other contestants that Olivia felt that she was on “an episode of Teen Mom that I watched” in reference to Amanda. When Amanda confronted Olivia by stating that she was in her early 20s when she had her girls, Olivia started to apologize and cry. While this may have softened the blow, some of the other women in the house did not buy the apology.
