I could see the part when she was saying that we (women) should not compare to each other and put ourselves down because someone else is better looking, younger, smarter, ..., that we should accept ourselves the way we are, love ourselves and then we can do whatever we want with what we have and own. (not exact words, paraphrasing)

Sarah, answering our questions, mentioned that all girls moved to the Ben's girls' house (Rihanna's), because they are down the numbers. Shandi gave the insight of each girl, she talked nicely about Renea (realness, genuineness, energy and will to connect with people) and Tarryn (spunky, laughing, vivacious, like sorority girl), Hailey (aka Cameron Diaz, down to earth girl and wonderful artist) and Jenna (good cook, wise, good advice giver, ... like I felt, she has really good and healthy approach to [love] life), Siham (commented on the gifts Siham bought for Tim's family in Hawaii, their bed were next to each other), she talked about the energetic twins, Allie and Mandy (that they are transparent, difficult to "contain", but in positive tones) and about her "drama" with Alba (that she doesn't know why it happened, because at the beginning they started as being friendly and close, because of shared experience).

She also said that she became close friends with Kristin and felt that Kristin's edit did not do her justice as she (Kristin) is hilarious. At the end she said that next episode was a "shocker" and described her father as Robert DeNiro in Meet the parents adding that he really put Ernesto through the paces. She indicated that her dad was retired Secret Service with the Treasury Department. She also at the end said something that whether she was with Ernesto (although I don't think she called him by name) or not now the show was an incredible learning experience for her. Oh, and earlier she described Ernesto's mom as very warm and sweet - the quintessential perfect mother.

Loved her interview. She's very down to earth and has such a 'real' take on life,. I've been a fan and this just made me more of one. :yes:

i'd love to spend some time with her father and hear his real take on ernesto. have a feeling he saw right through him. in my eyes, shandi and tim (and whoever tim ended up with) are the real winners on RFL. tim WILL find love and shandi just shines so much. didn't like her at first, probably because of how they edited her, but she's easily my favorite. beautiful, smart, well-spoken and classy.

Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to listen to what she had to say.

Thank you Shandi for going on AfterBuzz! I really enjoyed your interview and all that you shared about your experience. You've got a new fan and loved your advice about being true to oneself vs. comparing yourself to others. My daughter is in middle school and it's the perfect nugget to share with her.

I am sure that Ernesto picks you in the end. If the rumors are true, I say good riddance! You deserve a great guy who loves you and only has eyes for you.

I watched it over and over again! I loved how surprised everyone was and how everyone was going nuts. Never saw a scene like that on the Bachelor ever so thank you Ernesto and Shandi for one of the greatest moments in reality tv dating!

It was awesome! What a romantic thing to do, loved how he came up by himself and dashed up to be with Shandi! Wow, can't even imagine how she felt in that moment!

I was laughing so hard at Shandi's dad giving Ernesto that lie detector test, what a great sport he was!!

It was a wonderful moment! I find these rumours about Ernesto really saddening, because I find it so hard to believe that he could've faked that passion (running up to her, kissing her, etc. It was explosive!). Maybe he has commitment issues and really FALLS in love, but is quick to freak out and move on? I've had my fair share of exes like that. Poor Shandi, nothing hurts quite as much as that.
