Ousted 'Bachelor' Contestant Kaitlyn Open to Being the Next 'Bachelorette'

— -- The latest woman to be denied a rose by “Bachelor” Chris Soules says she was “completely blindsided” by the Iowa farmer’s decision, but is open to finding love again on national TV.

"It doesn’t make me upset to think about it,” Kaitlyn, 29, said today on “Good Morning America” in response to fans’ calls for her to be the next “Bachelorette.”

Kaitlyn, a dance instructor from Vancouver, was denied a rose from Soules on Monday night’s episode, despite the seemingly loving comments Soules made to her before he decided to give roses to the two remaining women, Whitney and Becca.

“I really thought when he said he was falling in love with me too, that was reassuring. I’m like, ‘Oh they don’t usually say that back. Okay I got this and this is good,’” Kaitlyn said. “He took Becca away and came back and I’m like, okay, I guess it’s Whitney that’s going.”

When Soules instead sent her home, Kaitlyn says she was “completely shocked.”

“I remember I felt like I was having an out of body experience just looking and being like, ‘This is not happening right now,’” she said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Looking back on why she was denied a rose by Soules, Kaitlyn says it could have been her reluctance to open up to the “Bachelor” on national TV.

“I’m sure it did because, you know, obviously he’s trying to find somebody to spend the rest of his life with so he’s looking for someone that’s completely open with their feelings,” she said. “I learned that the second that I did that and the second I let that guard down, that’s when it started working so I’m sure that was a red flag to him."
