From the moment Bibiana put the mic on Krystal during Arie's season of The Bachelorette , viewers knew they'd just met the next firecracker Bachelor contestant. Bibi (as she's known as "Bibi") was ultimately no match for Ali, but she found fleeting love on The Bachelor Winter Games, an Olympic-style international show that aired this winter. Now, Bibiana is back on our screens, this time on Bachelor in Paradise . For those of you who need a refresher course, because these shows really have a lot of seasons to catch up on, allow me to fill you in on what happened to Bibiana on Bachelorette Winter Games . Because she’s had quite a journey.
Bibiana is from Florida, but she competed on The Bachelor in a snowsuit and some serious sweaters instead of her usual bikini. Is she an accomplished skier, snowshoer, or any of the above? Not really, but she tried, and that's all that matters. Not least of all, she caught the attention of Kevin Wendt, a contestant on the Canadian version of "The Bachelorette" who, when he's not on the reality TV show, Firemen. Unfortunately for Bibiana, she dated Kevin once before he set his sights on Ashley Iaconetti. Ah, Bibi—you win some and you lose some.
But don't worry about Bibiana - Jordan Mauger (from The Bachelor New Zealand ) arrived a day later and he and Bibi hit it off right away. Long live. They liked each other's accents (Jordan said his legs twitched when Bibiana spoke, which I guess is a good thing?) and really liked each other. Jordan admitted that he was happy with Bibiana (which in New Zealand means really liked), and that things were going well... until they weren't.
The Bachelor Winter Games was a limited run like Bachelor in Paradise , and ultimately, Bibiana liked Jordan, but not enough to continue their relationship. She left the Bachelor Winter Games , leaving Jordan alone in the cold. Love is complicated, especially when you have to get "engaged" to someone after two weeks of meeting them. a lot of.
But Bibiana doesn't seem to be devastated by it all—she continues to live her life in Miami, and now, she's back on The Bachelor Nation to train for some time on Bachelor in Paradise . Here's hoping she comes away with a better opinion of the man she met on a beach in Mexico than she did of her ex-bachelor Ali Luyendyk.
Speaking on Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins' podcast Almost Famous , Bibi said she wasn't excited about who was chosen as her Bachelorette. “I personally feel victimized by not getting such a good bachelor’s degree,” she said. (For the record, I feel the same way.) Bibiana went on to say that Ben Higgins was a better Bachelor because he wasn't, in his season, so emotionally cold towards women.
"I feel like you guys just know how to direct your conversations, even if it's just saying goodbye to a woman, you have so much more to say, so much more personal information," she told Ben and Ashley. "I watched your Women Tell All and you could tell that women just want you to be truly happy, which shows that you really take the time to listen; you controlled the conversation very well throughout the entire date."
Not many people would argue that Bibiana was wrong about Arie being a "boring" bachelor, but now, it's time for her to move on this summer. Will she find love? Can she get engaged? Bachelor Nation will just have to tune in to see what happens, because when BiBi shows up, drama happens.
