The “Bachelor Villain” is a lucrative role.
Every season one women thrown into the mix will have enough sass to tell it like it is and even before the season’s premiere date, she’ll be pegged as the pot stirrer. Dare we ask if you remember Keira Maguire or Jen Hawke?
Of course you do! Because the so-called “villain” is always an entertainment gem.
So as the next season of the Bachelor edges closer and the Bachelorette’s vying for Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummin’s heart are being revealed, meet Vanessa Sunshine, the woman fans believe to be our 2018 Bachelor villain.
Ten describes the 27-year-old legal secretary as “bold, beautiful and brutally honest”.
While Vanessa lives by the motto “revenge is sweet”. How telling!
As soon at the Network released Vanessa’s image on The Bachelor Australia Instagram account, with a short bio, fans began speculating about her role in the mansion.
“Well I think we know who the villain is gonna be,” commented one.
“Poor girls gonna be the villain from the sound of this caption,” another wrote.
