Bettina Bell the 27 year old Realtor from Washington DC who currently resides in Hermosa Beach, CA was cut from The Bachelor on Monday. We caught up with her the other day to discuss her experiences on the show and here's what she had to say:

Q. Jason, RealityWanted.com: How did you get on the show? Did you watch prior seasons?



A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I was at an open house and someone walked in and ended up recommending me to the casting director working on the show. I was later contacted to interview and ended up on the show. I watched a couple of the earlier seasons back in the day.

Q. Jason: How was your overall experience on the show?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: It was an amazing experience! I really enjoyed all of the boating experiences and meeting everyone but the best part of the show was getting to learn about myself.

Q. Jason, RealityWanted.com: How were the other girls on the show? Were there any ones you really liked or disliked?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I really liked the other girls on the show. They were all pretty well rounded and very successful. I don't think the show did anyone justice and ended up portraying some of the girls in a negative light.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Why do you think the girls thought you were there for the wrong reasons?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I think I was low drama. The parts that got dramatized were because we were on top of eachother for weeks and after awhile you end up picking on eachother and finding faults with one another.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Were you bothered by how your family was portrayed on the show?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: My Dad got a lot of flack for judging Brad but parents are always going to be concerned about who their daughter is dating. One of the parts on the show that was left out was when my dad gave Brad a compliment for being so successful without a formal education. I think Brad should have been more confident and not so defensive, he should expect to be slightly judged when meeting someone's parents.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Did you think you were going to get a rose at the ceremony?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I was actually surprised that I ended up making it that far. I enjoyed the time I spent with Brad and it was nice at the final dinner after the cameras were turned off to get to know him and have a real conversation without the cameras in our faces. In the end though things got a little weird between us, I guess I called him out on stuff and he didn't like it.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Did you end up having feelings for Brad?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: From the beginning I was interested in getting to know him more and yes over time I developed more feelings for him.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: If you had to do it all over again what would you do different?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I probably would have not brought my family into it. I think we would have gone back and just had a fun time in my city without all of the drama.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Are you dating now?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: Things are good, just focusing on myself and work. I realized a lot about myself on the show and what I want out of people I date but yes I am dating someone right now.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: What did you learn from the show?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: I learned I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who is dating other people. I want to date some exclusively and enjoy the time I spend with them.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Do you watch much Reality TV?



A. Bettina, The Bachelor: No, I don't watch much TV in general. I guess I lose interest too quickly. I work a lot so I really don't have a lot of time to watch TV.

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com What's next for you?

A. Bettina, The Bachelor: Well I am currently in the Real Estate market and am psyched about my life! I don't have any regrets and I am excited about the new phase in my life. Real Estate out here is great (so anyone interested in a home call me!!)

Q. Jason RealityWanted.com: Do you have a Myspace or a way for our viewers to contact you?



A. Bettina, The Bachelor: Yes, I can be reached at www.Shorewood.com/bb
