Olivia Caridi - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Sharleen Joynt about Olivia:

It’s impossible to watch this show without the analytical breakdown. First and last girls out of the limo are usually a major players. (Case in point, Britt and Jade were Farmer Chris’ respective first and last.) They sandwich the gag entrances; the piano-bikes, wedding dresses, and rose headpieces...
2. Olivia, 23: Last limo exit, check. First Impression Rose, check. Olivia has “frontrunner” written all over her. Oh, and she’s a legit news anchor. And she’s stunning. Like, Cameron Diaz circa The Mask stunning. She also has a star quality to her, like she’s meant to be on elevision. Oh, wait.

I think she seemed somewhat forced with Ben compared to some of the others who seemed more natural and really into him. Just looking at that picture above, her smile seems forced/fake..."Who me?" Kind of the pageant girl smile. I'm getting the "not there for the right reasons" vibe.

IA and I really wanted to like her and did like her before seeing her on episode one. I still think she is movie star gorgeous and maybe the prettiest contestant for this franchise (that I've seen or can think of off the top of my head). I wonder what's next for her?

I would LOVE, if it's possible, just one go-to thread with everyone from this franchise's name and SM handles (nothing else) in alphabetical order, that can be ideally added to in the correct spot alphabetically.

I realize it would be a bit of work but if we were all to contribute by PM to whoever is setting it up, that would make it easier. Or am I out to lunch on this and it is too big a wish or is it something that wouldnt work with the setup on here? :halo:

PS—while I'm wishing, I've often thought it would be so nice if we had a bookmark option that only we could see that we could click in each thread much like the like button, so we could easily find the place we last left off. i don't know if this is feasible either.

The link I posted is a link to the thread that has all the contestants usernames/SM. For the rest of your post, I answered here. You shouldn't have to bookmark your page, it takes you automatically where you left off.

There's something scary about her face and yes, the fake grin is so Andi. Hated her hair too.

Olivia came across very pageant-y to me.
I honestly didn't think Ben was that into her as much as she was so "eeeearnestly" into him.
Not a fan.

Well, she's the one (other than Becca for obvious reasons) who got the most fans boost on SM. First impressions!!! It's amazing that the majority of this show fans goes from what there see on the show itself.

It isn't surprising to me that the typical viewer of a surface level dating show accepts a surface level impression of the contestants. It's just entertainment. 

It's probably a good thing that most viewers just look at the pretty faces. There isn't much underneath the facade of many of these contestants. Not referring to Olivia...

I still like Olivia and will continue to do so until I see the bad. The Andi smile is not great, but it is one thing. I could be wrong, I have been wrong before, but what I saw on SM pre-season I liked, so I am still pro-Olivia for now.

I really do think she's cute but with some of the facials she was making I could not stop picturing Janice, the lead guitar player in the Electric Mayhem on The Muppet Show . Especially that huge smile she does.

Our reaction to the so-called fake smile or pagaenty presentation is probably a result of her media training. The girl's got mojo!

I didn't care for her. And I really didn't see a sweetness and genuineness with her and Ben. Attraction and intrigue but definitely not as natural acting as Ben was with Lauren.

I actually thought Lauren was going to get the FIR based on what I saw and if I hadn't been spoiled that Olivia did.

She also looks older than her age. 30ish. Most pageanty girls do.
