Why Corinne Has Stolen My Heart

Complain about her all you want, but she's still here (and probably ordering some room service)

Why Corinne Has Stolen My Heart
E Online

With each new year comes a new season of The Bachelor- a new chance to find love, and most importantly, another Bachelor villain. We have delved through many different versions of this ever present character on the show throughout its numerous seasons, finding among my favorites: a wide mouthed girl who “just liked to read” and could probably stick an entire apple in her mouth (Olivia), a not-so-friendly “Chad-Bear,” and my personal favorite, Tierra, who will always be famous for her exclamation “no one will EVER take my sparkle away!” as she was ushered into the van that would take her off of the show. Because of course, you can take the girl out of The Bachelor, but you can never take the sparkle out of the girl.

This season, we follow Corinne (among another 25 girls, but lets be honest, it’s all about Corinne) as she leaves the warm embrace of her nanny Raquel and her beloved cheese pasta to look for love. Yes, you read that right. Corinne has a nanny. She’s 21, supposedly helps run her family's multimillion dollar company (or is it just a Sims game her parents set her up with?) from a balcony in Miami, and she has every single girl on that show in quite a dither.

Throughout most seasons of The Bachelor, I have always sided with the majority, agreeing that whoever the villain is should just leave and go back to their ridiculous life without getting in the way of our television. However, this year is different. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I actually LIKE Corinne.

This could be because of the fact that I don’t love any of the other girls on the show, and I don’t feel the need to root for anyone who is up against her. But it could also be because she is actually really, really funny.

Let us begin with the fact that Corinne actually rented a bouncy house for the day just for her and Nick to play in. Unlike most contestants, she hasn't shared letters from her hometown, nor any sappy stories about a past life in two seconds while the bachelor in question tries to make out with her; no- Corinne just wants to bounce around in a pink castle for fifteen minutes with the guy of her dreams- on national television, no less.

She just doesn’t seem to care what other people think. On one hand, you could definitely see this as immature and selfish, and even a lot a bit spoiled. But, I’ll just be completely honest. I don’t watch the Bachelor so that I can be sappy about watching people “find love.” It’s a TV show. It’s not real. And that is precisely why it is so entertaining- because every year, we watch 30 women take something that is so obviously fake and make it into their entire lives. They stay in this fairy tale mansion, never eat anything, cry on a daily basis, and become best friends with all the other girls that are vying for the same guy, always victimizing the one girl that just doesn’t buy it.

And Corinne is definitely not buying into it.

A couple weeks ago, instead of attending the rose ceremony, she went to bed. Everyone was appalled. I sat there and thought- wow, I really should hate her, but I just can’t. Because if I was on that show, and I already had the rose, I probably would have wanted to go to bed too. Last night, she took a bath, and then proceeded to order cheesecake, a steak, chicken wings, and a salad. While she was munching away and sipping on a glass of wine, the other girls were staring helplessly out the window while Nick went on his first one on one date of the week. It was just a bit sad, because while Corinne may be crazy, she's taking advantage of her opportunities. She’s not obsessing over the other girls, and she is definitely enjoying herself.

I think we can all take a little lesson from her.

Sure, she's insane- and has self confidence (or should I say ego) only comparable to those who well, go on The Bachelor. No one her age should ever have a nanny, and she is very spoiled. But she’s cutting her losses. She’s not obsessing over being best friends with her competitors. She's actually eating and sleeping- something that, quite frankly, seems far too rare on the Bachelor. And somehow, she has also become one of Nick’s favorites. She definitely has the emotional intelligence of a infant. But she’s living it up.

So, I just can't hate her- and maybe, just maybe she has a reason to stay.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
