One glance at stunning Lindzi Cox and you’ve got to wonder just what Ben Flajnik was thinking in giving her the boot on Monday’s finale of the Bachelor, but nonetheless someone has to lose.
The leggy Seattle businesswoman appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Monday night following the show’s airing to share her experience on ABC’s real-life soap opera.
“I think in the moment, obviously, you’re like getting off this helicopter in Switzerland and you’re maybe going to get engaged to or maybe you’re going to get dumped and you have no idea,” she said of the enchanting Matterhorn backdrop where Ben decided to propose to model Courtney Robertson, and not her.
“In hindsight, he made his decision, and I’m in a really good place,” Lindzi said. “I’m happy with how it ended up. I respect it.”

Lindzi said she “didn’t dislike” Courtney, adding she “never saw that evil side of her.”

“We weren’t friends, but we were cool,” she explained. “It was a good ending. I’m happy for them. I’m happy for me. I don’t wish ill for them. I wish the best for them. Ben’s a nice guy … maybe he led me on a little bit.”

As for how she watched the show as a spectator this season, she said “it was weird.
