Bachelorette Chrystal talks honesty with us!

http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/entertain/bachelorette-chrystal-talks-honesty-us/

Whatever you thought about The Bachelor NZ‘s Chrystal Chenery, there’s no doubt that if you watched just one episode of the show, she had your attention. From the first episode Chrystal emerged as the show’s alpha female, and whether she was your protagonist or antagonist, she was most definitely the show’s leading lady – possibly even stealing more screen time than Art, the Bachelor himself.

At nzgirl there was not a conversation about the previous night’s show that didn’t include Chrystal. Love or loathe her, she was hugely entertaining and enjoyable (and sometimes jaw-droppingly shocking!) to watch. For that we at nzgirl definitely fall on the love side of the {#}TeamChrystal{/#} camp. But what we loved most about this stunning blonde 30-year-old, super bendy yoga teacher and massage therapist is that she emerged as one of the most quirky, endearing, and straight up characters ever to be seen on New Zealand television – an absolute must on reality TV!

We spoke to Chrystal over the phone this morning and by the end of the call, this funny, charming woman had us smitten. Perhaps a dose of honesty mixed with a lot of laughs is the best formula for life!

We loved that you owned the “Bitcherlorette” title in social media, but we saw a much more dynamic, quirky and adorable Chrystal emerge in the last few shows, who is the real Chrystal?

I think I was being myself all the way through. Unfortunately out of the full scenario you were just seeing tidbits of what the producers wanted to show. As there were fewer girls, the quirky parts of my personality showed more. The bribes to the producers must have paid off. Can I say that?

The girls (who have left the show) talked abut you being straight up, honest and lighthearted, and said that they really appreciated your humour, is this typically your whole approach to life??

Yeah for sure. I think people need to be a lot more honest with each other. Like, I have a close friend and she wants to say something to her sister that could enhance her (sister’s) life. And it’s something she needs to hear, and if you’re not going to hear it from your nearest and dearest who’s going to have the balls to say it? I felt like I was sisters with the girls in the house so I let my opinions fly. I think everyone could benefit by being more honest with each other.

Your personality dominated the show, so are you surprised it didn’t capture Art’s heart?

I am not surprised. My feelings towards Art were slowly diminishing during the show. It’s very unusual dating a man who is multiple dating a lot of girls, just as it would be in the real world. It was impossible for me to feel anything at the end. Any feelings I did have for Art were slowly disappearing and any women in reality would feel the same way.

You said in your last show that Art didn’t really get you. Do you think if you’d had more one on one time without the cameras you’d have been a great match for one another?

Yeah totally. It would definitely be a different situation. It would definitely be a different outcome. He said he didn’t really get me, and at the end of the day, we’re women, you’re never gonna get us. I tend to not to compare myself to other women, or look who’s a match for whom. It’s either there or isn’t, and I am not the safe choice. And if you’re on national television then I am definitely not a safe choice! I am even surprised at what pops out of my mouth when I have wine in my hand and a camera in my face!

What compelled a beautiful, talented self assured girl like you to go on The Bachelor NZ? Surely you can just click your fingers and men come running?

My sister made me go on The Bachelor. She’s wanted me to settle down and keep me in New Zealand. She wants me to marry a kiwi boy, and this was her way of making that happen. I’ve been travelling on and off for 10 or 15 years – to Brazil, Canada, Italy for six months, and spent most of last year in Europe travelling, and Aussie, of course I lived in Aussie like every Kiwi – and I have only been living in NZ sporadically. And it’s a lot to ask guys to move back with me to New Zealand because of logistics. All of the above is a mixture of why my sister put me on that bloody show!!

You talked a bit about The Bachelor NZ being a “competition”. Do you really believe that it was, and if so, does it bother you that you didn’t win?

I’m not really. I am a lot of things but I’m not too competitive. I don’t take anything too seriously. At the end of the day if you’re vying for one man’s heart you going to get a bit mouthy about some of the girls. Some of them would get uppity about the others and their behaviour. But we’re not a sorority, it’s not High School Musical, we’re here to date one guy, so yeah. That’s it really.

Who did you bond with most on the show and why?

Throughout my experience I kind of felt like I was friends with all of the girls but I didn’t bond with just one of girls. I have a lot of love and respect for all of the girls. For me, all my life I have never needed someone in my pocket. I had great conversations with all the girls in the house and bonded with them as individuals, but we were like sisters and equally we pissed each other off at certain stages. It’s not unlike that in general in real life.

Do you have any regrets?

I have one massive regret that pisses me off so much! That bloody blue eye liner! I don’t know what I was thinking. That blue eye liner and a pink dress. What was I thinking? If I had one regret I would go back and wipe that poop off! And the stumbling in bad lighting. Where is someone telling us “You look ridiculous!” That’s when we needed some honestly, we needed someone to come up with a facial wipe and wipe that poop off!

Art is about to meet the girls’ families. From what you’ve heard the girls say about their families, do you expect any drama?

I definitely think it’s going to be everyone being really nice. All the girls are really nice so it’s just going to be really, really nice. There might be some opinions asking Art what kind of guy goes and does a TV show dating 21 women to find a girlfriend. Parents are from a different generation like that. But generally, it’s all just going to be everyone being really, really nice.

Who is next out of the show and why?

Definitely I’d go on who’s going to put their heart on the line, and who’s going to open up and that’s what will keep any of the girls in the game from now on. I was being authentic, and I said that I’m not going to put it on and wear my heart on my sleeve. So whoever is going to open up and be really honest will stay.

Who do you want to win Art’s heart and why?

I am {#}TeamDani{/#} and I want her to win because she is very honest and open. Next to me in the house Dani tells it like it is. If she wants to kiss Art she kisses him. You’ve got to ask, are you there to make friends or are you there to get Art. You couldn’t do both. Then equally, some girls did a good job of keeping details to themselves and being respectful of the other girls in the house. So I am not trying to put a spanner in the works by saying that. Each to their own. But I really like Dani because she’s being upfront and honest.

Who do you think will to win Art’s heart and why?
I’m still going for Dani!
