Corinne Olympios - Bachelor 21 - Discussion

Corinne has begun her campaign in a big way IMO.  

I don't think it's going to happen. Ellen was just making fun of her in her interview with Beth Behrs and made a "ugh" face when talking about how Corinne would be on her show next week. Ellen has had villains, like Michelle Money, rejected contestants who weren't made the lead, like Tenley and Kacie B, and total randoms like Caila/Jared/Ashley I. Ellen is probably just going to make fun of her. I'm sure Corinne thinks she has a chance, but I think the show, for the most, pretty much sticks to their formula and doesn't like to take risks, like picking a drunk, narcoleptic villain. IMO.

Wasn't Olivia on last year too? She often has the villains on I think. IMO no way Corinne would even be in the running.

I must say she is not that dumb and immature as the girls think. I find her quite funny and self deprecating at times, but most of the time I cringe at some of the things she does and says.

I can't believe I am saying this but I am developing a soft spot for Corinne. I dislike her sexual antics immensely but beyond that I find some aspects of her personality endearing. I haven't seen her post / like / comment a single negative thing about any of the girls. I expected to find atleast some shade towards Taylor this week but there is nothing so far. There are others from the season who are using their SM to put her down subtly to make themselves look better IMO but not Corinne.

I like that so far it seems that she has left all the negativity on the show and she didn't drag it into the real world IMO. She continues to live her self-obsessed, entitled, fashion inspired but positive life (IMO). Never engages with trolls even when they call her the most disgusting of names. Except that donut post, I haven't seen her even try to defend herself or play the victim/editing card (I am ignoring her mom's TMZ video coz it looked like she chose to do it on her own since Corinne did not acknowledge it anywhere on SM IMO).

I posted this in Vanessa's thread earlier. Corinne liked a pic of Nick and Vanessa on their date kissing. I thought it was very sweet of her to do that. IMO even though she is all [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on SM, she might be one of the first girls to imply that she is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] once the show wraps up.

I kinda see why CH said that audience might like her and hate her at the same time. These days, I fall in that category. All JMO.

I think a lot of people are annoyed by her antics because she comes across as a spoiled brat who lacks self-awareness. But I do think that she's pretty harmless, and not at all vindictive or resentful toward the other women. Maybe except for that time she said Danielle L had nothing much to offer besides her looks. I think by the end of all this, she's going to go down as the season's villain who was not a "true" villain -- someone people love to hate.

I binge-watched Farmer Chris' season two weekends ago, and there were quite a few women that season who were mean to the core, but never portrayed as villains. They openly hated on other contestants. I've heard people say watch this season because the cast of women were great... Great because of the drama they brought? Or great as human beings? , I question the claim on the latter.

I think it's easier when you know the outcome and you didn't have to live with her antics.  I listened to Hailey's interview and Corrine got away with acting like a spoiled brat, while the others were just as tired as she was.

In the case of the bolded, I actually happen to agree with her.

Yes, she is coming across as spoiled and attention-starved but I think that she is 100% aware of how her shenanigans were being filmed. It was all an effort to get camera time right from day 1 (IMO). I find it hard to fault her for that because she was pretty successful at getting the camera time. I think going forward the edit is going to push Corinne as misunderstood or evolving... I dislike spoiled kids, and have no interest in watching her journey towards self -discovery. That has more to do with me than her, though. I am sure that she is probably a very nice person to those in her circle of friends. I can see Ellen inviting her on as a curiosity- sketch-comedy gold! Ellen will probably gift her Nanny an Ellen cucumber slicer or something equally sarcastic.

-Maybe play 'Pie-face' right in the boobs or something.

Aright so I don't like corinne but she's playing everyone good. *IMO*She's good at manipulating people and i have those kind of girls that always get what they want. What she really wants is not nick, she actually wanted to just get famous which worked. *IMO*

Her and taylor was just getting annoying at this point and i was done with the conversation so I'm glad they ended it but I'm glad taylor came back to straighten nick and tell him what he needs to hear.

Corinne we will see you on BIP soon. Just change up your personality a bit or you will be worse then chad.**IMO**

I read some of the things Corrine said about Taylor and I'm sorry, but she is very mean and rude! I wonder how much she will get away with it.

I really wonder what nick is thinking when seeing how corinne is

IMO Nick sees Corinne as a naughty child.

Part of the reason I like watching this show is because it is excellent for showing you all about sociopaths, narcissists, borderline personalities and other insane people posing as normal. Chris Soules season is absolutely PERFECT for that (and so is BiP 2). **IMO**

Corinne is perfectly self-aware.*IMO* She is aggressive. *IMO* She knows exactly what she is doing. None of this is accidental. Every move is calculated. She is not one of those people who are asleep at the wheel. She knows exactly what is going on along with what she is doing. She does know herself well enough. ***IMO***

On the other hand, amateurs, like Taylor have no clue what is going on. *IMO*Taylor is not even a novice when it comes to a professional like Corrine. However, that is not good for either one of them, neither is it praise. ***IMO***
