Elyse Dehlbom Opens Up About Her Experience on the Bachelor
Today, I’m chatting with Elyse Dehlbom from Colton Underwood’s season of the Bachelor. She was the lone red head who went on the best one-on-one date to the theme park with all of Colton’s Legacy kids. She later left the show on her own after feeling like she couldn’t say yes to an engagement after such a short period of dating. We discuss how she felt getting selected for the season, what it was like in the house with all of those women and why she left so early. She also gives us some insight into a few things we didn’t already know about Colton.She is a make up artist in Phoenix, Arizona and is just as curious as the rest of us to see how everything plays out for Colton this season. You can find her on instagram using the handle @elysemichelle_mua. Go check her out and all of the fun things she has in store for us this year.Thanks for such a great interview and for being so honest. I could have interviewed her all day, but so many of my questions were not approved by the legal department of ABC.
