Third time's the charm right? Maybe not. Christen Whitney, lovingly known as "Scallop Fingers" after her stint on Bachelor in Paradise last year, made her return to TV on June 2 during ABC's The Proposal! Before the episode aired, she explained why she made the decision to go on the show, which has so far gotten mixed (read: bad) reviews. "You guys can tune in tonight after @bacheloretteabc if you want to witness me doing the cringiest thing I’ve ever done.... In all seriousness, I like to live my life to the fullest/take risks, and have fun. I never want to be someone who sits on the sidelines of my own life. I’m grateful to ABC for all of these adventurous opportunities!

We all remember Christen Whitney as the gorgeous brunette who competed for Nick Viall’s heart on Season 21 of The Bachelor and when she went looking for love again on Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise she was rudely dubbed "scallop fingers" due to her love of the seafood. However, the unfortunate nickname is not stopping Christen from looking for love again on reailty TV. Now, the the 26-year-old Oklahoma native will compete on the latest spin-off, The Proposal — but she has made it very clear she was never planning to actually accept a proposal. "Let me break it down: Yes: it’s a wild concept. No: I haven’t lost my mind lol. Yes: I am always willing and open to new adventures. Yes: I can’t wait to meet my person. No: I didn’t think that I would experience love at first sight, " she wrote on Instagram of the dating show.

No, you're not seeing things! We're pretty sure that Christen "Scallop Fingers" Whitney is about to be on yet another ABC dating show. Promos for The Proposal feature a girl in a red dress who looks suspiciously like the beloved Bachelor alum.
In case you forgot, the Tulsa, Ok, native was a contestant on Nick Viall's controversial season of The Bachelor. She made it to the third episode of Nick's season, and she left such an impression that she eventually found her way to Bachelor in Paradise. While on the Summer series, Christen was the subject of some seafood-flavored mockery - she has quite the passion for scallops. Unfortunately, she didn't meet her Prince Charming on the show.
Now, we think Christen might be looking for love in a different place. As we've been watching The Bachelorette, we've seen promos (over and over and over) for our next reality show obsession,...

MTV fans are about to meet Jasmine Goode from Ex on the Beach, but Bachelor Nation is already well acquainted with her. The 30-year-old gripped Bachelor viewers by the neck, so to speak! You see, Jasmine quickly went from background player to meme subject on on the 21st season of The Bachelor after she got a little tipsy and repeatedly asked Bachelor Nick Viall if he wanted to be choked. Not surprisingly, Nick denied her a rose that same week. Then she starred in the infamous fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise , clashing with Christen Whitney over the affection of Matt Munson, only to be heartbroken when Matt left the show. She was also there during the alleged incident between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. "What I saw between them looked like a normal couple having fun, hooking up like any other season of Paradise," she later told Et. And...

Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson are still going strong -- their friendship, that is.
The reality stars were photographed leaving Tao in Hollywood together on Wednesday, weeks after coming face-to-face for the first time since the Bachelor in Paradise scandal.
Olympios was all smiles as she left the restaurant behind Jackson, who wore a black T-shirt with the Frank Ocean lyrics, "Said she need a ring like Carmelo."

Exclusive: Corinne Olympios Says She & DeMario Jackson Had Dinner to Talk 'In Detail'
Olympios told Et last month that she and Jackson couldn't be happier to be friends.
"I mean, he's a good-looking guy, but I don't know if that will ever turn into anything. We're just friends. We're just moving on past the drama," she said. "Finally, for once, I am single."
While Olympios enjoys singledom, another Paradise couple, Dean Unglert and Kristina Schulman, may be trying to rekindle their flame.

Not all love is lost in the Bachelor in Paradise franchise. Just when you thought Dean Unglert's relationships with both Kristina Schulman and Danielle Lombard were done, complete and finished, another curve ball has been thrown our way. E! News has learned Dean reunited with Kristina this week to spend some time together. As seen on Wells Adams' Instagram Stories, the pair joined fellow Bachelor Nation members Luke Pell, James Taylor, Danielle Maltby and Christen Whitney in a radio studio. And while it appeared to be a friendly gathering amongst friends, Danielle L. is the one who could prove it was a bit more than that. "From what I know, he's trying to work things out...

She said yes! Get ready for yet another Bachelor in Paradise wedding, as Derek Peth officially proposed to Taylor Nolan at the end of tonight's season four reunion special, putting the ultimate happy ending on their experience on the hit spinoff. Derek and Taylor started dating from the first day the cast arrived on the beach in Mexico, and have been attached at the hip (and sometimes lips) ever since. E!

There’s no love lost between these two frenemies.
On Monday’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Jasmine Goode was very confident she was going to get a rose from Matt Munson by the upcoming rose ceremony — that was until Christen Whitney entered the scene.
Christen, known as the virgin who originally competed on Nick Viall‘s season of The Bachelor, was warmly welcomed to Paradise when she first arrived, but was told upfront by Jasmine that Matt was off limits.

Happy Monday, guys. We’re back with another episode of The Bachelor, and if you’re getting tired of hearing about Corinne … well, sorry. Her and her corn metaphors are the most entertaining thing we’ve got this season.
Pool Party/Rose Ceremony
We picked up where we left off last week with all the women complaining because Corinne straddled Nick in a bouncy house during the pool party. Vanessa, a.k.a. our queen, threatened to give back her rose but Nick asked her to try to “be a little more patient” about him hooking up with other women and somehow that line worked.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like competing on The Bachelor, the answer is simple: exhausting.
On Monday evening’s episode of the ABC reality show, Nick Viall and seven contestants — Danielle L., Christen, Kristina, Whitney, Taylor, Jasmine and Corinne — spent a day rehearsing with the Backstreet Boys so that they could be backup dancers that evening as a part of their group date.
Following the date, People caught up with Whitney, Christen and Danielle L., who exclusively shared about the experience — and what you didn’t see on TV this week.

Another week of The Bachelor, another topless Corinne moment. Happy Monday, guys.
Last week’s episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Nick Viall deciding to eliminate Liz — a contestant he’d previously had a one-night stand with months before — in the middle of a group date. Instead of showing us what went down during the rest of the date, this week’s episode jumped right into the women catching each other up on the Liz drama back at the house as they got ready for the cocktail party that night.

Week 2 of The Bachelor season 21 presented two very different episodes. In one half, the latter half, it was all about Liz, who I think might have had sex with Nick at Jade and Tanner's wedding. (Does anyone else feel bad that Liz told Christen the story of her night together with Nick over several different outfit and location changes?) When Liz wasn't talking about her one-night stand and desperately trying to make it seem like she wasn't there just to be on TV, the episode was devoted to the season's other "crazy lady."...

"Cheers, b**ches!"
Monday night's episode of The Bachelor was all about Corinne, who was bold enough to show Nick her true colors -- and her tatas -- in front of the other girls on the first group date of the season.
Exclusive: Nick Viall on Joining 'Dancing With the Stars' After 'The Bachelor': 'Who Wouldn't Wanna Do It?'
That's right, Corinne decided to show our leading man "the more Corinne side of Corinne," aka her boobs, during the group's wedding-themed date. While the other women posed alongside Nick in wedding dresses, Corinne's gown was (appropriately?) a white string bikini, which she quickly decided she didn't need at all.
Nick got into the pool with Miss Platinum Vagine herself, who promptly removed her bikini top and posed with Nick "Janet Jackson style" while the other women looked on.

The Group Date
The very first group date of the season was a wedding photo shoot, because of course it was. The 12 lucky ladies handpicked to be subjected to this very particular form of torture were Corrine, Vanessa, Sarah, Alexis, Hailey, Lacey, Brittany, Jasmine, Raven, Danielle L., Taylor and Elizabeth W.

The Bachelor contestant Elizabeth “Liz” Sandoz made headlines at the start of this season — when it emerged she had a one-night stand with Bachelor Nick Viall before taking part in the show. The 29-year-old says the steamy rendezvous took place back in January 2016, when Liz met Nick at her Bff Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert’s wedding. She admitted: “I’ve been carrying around a secret — I met Nick at Jade and Tanner’s wedding, and we had sex.” Liz also admitted to fellow contestant Christen Whitney that the hookup took place while she was “wasted”. But who is Liz and...read more...

Bachelor villain Corinne will do anything to stay on top -- even if it means taking her top off.

While Corinne revealed her tatas, another bachelorette, Liz, appears to reveal the truth about her prior relationship with Nick, telling Christen about the pair's one-night stand in a move that might just ruin everything.

Even Nick Viall can't believe he is the new Bachelor.
The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 1 marks the beginning of Nick's fourth appearance on the franchise.
It’s so interesting to see flashbacks of Nick from his days on The Bachelorette because he is so much better looking now (which ABC made very clear with a shower montage). He earned his right to post shirtless selfies.
This is not another season of The Bachelorette. Or Paradise. This is actually The Bachelor. I know, I’m as surprised as you are.

It’s funny that Nick’s sister Bella is giving him notes based on his past performances, but I disagree with her that his biggest problem is that he mumbles. I think it’s the whole falling in love with someone after 20 minutes thing.
