‘The Bachelor’ castoff Caila Quinn reacts to Ben Higgins breakup

We feel like Monday night’s new episode of “The Bachelor” was predictable to almost everyone … at least other than Caila Quinn. She was sent home after overnight dates in Jamaica, and right when her heart was probably the most vulnerable it had been the whole season.

So how has she recovered from all of these emotions? This is something that she elaborated on in an interview with People Magazine, which may have taken place either in or around the recent “Women Tell All” taping:

“There are different stages of grief … The first one that hit me was anger. I felt like Ben was kind of rehearsed, and I just wanted him to be real with me.

“I can see how his relationship progressed with the other women, so that made it easier for me to understand. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t hard. But I do see that Ben is happy and I don’t want to live in the past.”

It’s a little unusual to see a big-name media outlet doing an interview with a recently-eliminated “Bachelor” contestant, so we’re sure that this will do very little to quiet the theorists out there who believe that this is a sign Caila is on the road to becoming the next “Bachelorette.” Personally, we do think that it’s possible, but it’s hard to deny that the majority of the support out there seems to be geared more in the direction of JoJo Fletcher. Behind that, Becca Tilley is even getting a lot of attention for the role despite not even making the final two this season.
