The Bachelor: The Women Tell All: Krystal Nielson comments exposed

Krystal Nielson

On The Bachelor: The Women Tell All Sunday night, ABC is going to continue an interesting trend that they started with the Bachelor Winter Games finale — going the extra mile in order to ensure that their narrative is verified.

During Winter Games, what production did that was interesting was broadcast a minute or two of Luke Pell’s behavior after his segment with Stassi as over — in doing so, America effectively got a glimpse of how he really felt about her and how cold and heartless he can be. (Luke has offered up a new explanation for his behavior, but that still does not justify the rudeness.)

With The Women Tell All, meanwhile, what production seems to be doing here is using some unaired comments from Krystal Nielson about Arie Luyendyk Jr. and some of the other women. She said these while venting in a hotel room and we wondered at the time if they were not captured on film. Well, we now have an answer. The synopsis below from the special suggests that things are going to get ugly very quickly:

Krystal takes the hot seat and the other women immediately attack her. And then, in a never-aired clip from the bowling date, Krystal is revealed in a very unflattering light. Her stunning bombshell description of the women and Arie leave the women reeling. But in an emotional moment, Krystal breaks down when talking about her homeless brother.

After the taping, Krystal told Entertainment Tonight that she was unhappy about what she thought was a private conversation ultimately being shown for all of America to see:

“I did not not [remember saying that]. Honestly, I was having an intimate conversation that was caught through the peeping f—ing tom of my hotel room, while I’m in the bathroom, and it was caught through the room. I was talking to my roommate, and I was angry and I was hurt. I was very upset, and I was entitled to be that.

“So do I regret it? I mean, I do …I said things out of hurt, [but] looking back, who doesn’t when they’re pissed, you know?”

Was The Bachelor in the wrong for taping this sort of conversation? We’ll leave that to you but this should overall be a cautionary tale to all future contestants: There is no part of the show that is safe from production. If you don’t say terrible things, producers can’t use them against you. The solution to this problem really isn’t all that complicated.

Do you expect Krystal to be raked over the coals on The Women Tell All?
