Sydney Lotuaco, who previously quit The Bachelor, has opened up on what she went through during her time on the show.
‘The Bachelor’ Spoilers: Sydney Lotuaco Reflects On Colton Underwood And The Show
The man available, Colton Underwood, hardly made any waves with Sydney. In fact, she felt he was dishonest with the other contestants. In an interview on the Here for the Right Reasons podcast, Sydney stated how he might have been looking out for himself, without considering the broader feelings of the women involved.
She said: “You could definitely see that he had some favourites, for sure, and I felt he is very conscious of, like, how he’s going to be portrayed. Which is a great thing to do as a lead, like, you’re protecting yourself in a way, and I think because of that, a lot of the relationships didn’t move forward.”
And that is why Sydney decided to part from the show. It was clearly a difficult decision as it did impact her career as the widespread exposure from the show was short-lived. Having said, Sydney confirmed that the decision to leave was spontaneous, to say the least. She added: “The decision for me to leave actually happened within that night because I didn’t pack or anything.
“I didn’t prepare at all for that. [But] I’m realistic. And I’m like, ‘He doesn’t like me like he likes the other girls. He’s looking at her very differently.’ So you kind of notice that.” But that does not mean she did not have any regrets. One thing that Sydney wished she could have gotten was closure. Sadly, with Colt preoccupied with other women, the chance never came.
She continued: “I still wanted to be there, I still wanted to try. I had gotten to my wit’s end at that point. [I was] very dramatic and going through my emotions a lot those last few days.” Sydney, though, did sign off the interview with some telling remarks. Given her genuine nature, she stated how she informed Cole to be more open: “I think that he needed to open up his eyes a little bit to what was around him and kind of give everyone a fair shot, which I felt like he wasn’t.”
