Her views and predictions on the ABC dating show

American former model and present author and socialite Kelly Bensimon appeared on 8^th June 2017 in US Weekly Video’s digital series Entertainment Watch. She talked about this season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

On 6^th June 2017, ABC revealed that Corinne Olympios with Raven Gates, Robby Hayes, and Amanda Stanton will go to ‘The Bachelor in Paradise’ show.

Kelly Bensimon admitted that though she has never watched the ABC shows, she will be able to make some bold predictions about who are the likely contestants to hook up with.

Kelly Bensimon said:

“What if Corinne and DeMario get together? DeMario is really cute even though he had an issue.”

It is to be remembered that the present bachelorette Rachel Lindsay had sent DeMario Jackson out of the mansion two times in this season after DeMario accepted the full blame for not telling the truth about having a girlfriend at home while appearing on this hit dating show.

Kelly Bensimon also praised Rachel Lindsay on the way she handled the awkward situations she was put into on the show. Kelly Bensimon also found it very interesting to watch the 31-year-old attorney pave her path in her quest for love.

Admiring Rachel Lindsay, Bensimon said:

“She is our America’s sweetheart. She’s smart, she’s cool, she’s funny, she’s sassy, she’s athletic, she’s so great.”

Kelly Bensimon also spoke about the Bachelor villainess Corinne Olympios.

Her take on the Real Housewives of New York City

Kelly Bensimon had appeared thrice on Bravo’s hit reality show ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ (2009-2011).

Last month, Kelly gave her opinion on the political feuds going on in the current season of ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ to US Weekly during the inaugural Gotham Cares Gala Fundraiser in New York City.

She said:

“I think we all have to remember it’s reality TV. It’s not The New York Times. It’s really not legitimate, so for us to be having those kinds of conversations on reality TV, I think that’s tacky. Also, it’s just tacky,”

Kelly did not approve of the contestants having unnecessary political discussions on the show. The former model added:

“Unless they were, like, doing something really amazing or they were making an impact, that might be a different story. But just to talk and argue about it? That’s just really tacky.”

Contestant Ramona Singer is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump while Carole Radziwill has a great passion and liking for Hillary Clinton. On the show, both often enter into unnecessary arguments and fights over their leaders.

The matter heated up when in the latest episode Radziwill did not invite Singer to her election party due to their differing views. Kelly was not very happy with the attitude of Carole Radziwill.

She said:

“I don’t know Carole at all, but I just think slamming anyone for their political views is tacky. It’s rude. It’s very uneducated.”

She believes that political beliefs are best kept private. Putting forth her experience, Kelly Bensimon said:

“When Trump was elected as president, I said some nice words about respecting our new president and I got slammed by Twitter, so I really just like to keep my politics to myself now,”

She continued:

“I vote for who I want to vote for and I support whoever I want. The only thing that I can really say and that I constantly repeat is that it’s about what you do every single day. You’re your own politician. I’m honored to have an amazing president. Whether it was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, that’s not my concern.”
