We sure would love to know what was going through Nikki
Ferrell’s mind when Juan Pablo Galavis handed her a rose and said “I like you a
lot” during the “Bachelor” finale Monday night. Yes sir, we’d sure like to
know.
In the
past, we’ve always had the chance to ask questions like that.
Whenever
someone from Kansas City wins a reality TV show – think David Cook on “American
Idol” and Tate Stevens on “The X Factor” – we work with the studio or
production company to score a post-win interview.
Not
this time.
“Nikki
is not available for interviews at this time. I will let you know if that
changes. Thanks,” was the answer we got from a publicist to our request for
some Nikki time after Monday’s finale.
Nikki
and Juan Pablo, not surprisingly, don’t want anything to do with the media
after that awkward, dramatic finale that left many “Bachelor” viewers hating
Juan Pablo and wondering what kind of woman would want to be with him.
The two
skipped the traditional round of post-finale appearances on “Good Morning
America” and other shows Tuesday. A source told TMZ that Juan Pablo refused to
go on “GMA” and that he will not do any more publicity for the show.
According
to TMZ the show’s producers, who didn’t like Juan Pablo’s actions during the
entire season, were just fine with him refusing to do post-show interviews.
All the
public got was an Instagram picture that Juan Pablo posted showing the two of
them free at last, free at last, together on some city street.
Juan
Pablo knows what people are saying about him, because he also posted this:
“Throw me to the wolves and I'll come back leading the pack.”
Nurse
Nikki, who we think is still employed by Children’s Mercy, is feeling the heat,
too.
She
shot back at the haters as well – many of them Hollywood celebrities who follow
the show – on Twitter: “Being in the public eye does NOT give you the right to
say what you want to me. Your words hurt no matter what. Be ashamed of
yourselves.”
Unfortunately
for Nikki, being in the public eye does give viewers the right
to say what they want about her. That’s the way the TV game is played.
On
Twitter, Juan Pablo posted a lovey-dovey video montage of their moments from
the show with this message: “Amor @Nikki_Ferrell, glad that we stay TRUE to
ourselves and we are REAL... This is for YOU"
A
source tells E! News that “for now, she’s happy just dating him.”
After
Monday’s show, Juan Pablo, Nikki and a few of the former contestants, including
Sharleen Joynt, reportedly went to dinner together before the couple headed to
his hometown of Miami for a few days.
“She
will be staying with him. After that, they're headed to the Dominican Republic
for a vacation,” a source told E!.
And
after that?
“He
told her to pick a city and they'd move there," says one insider.
"Not sure how realistic that is, but that's what he said to her.
"She
really loves her job and she's not going to quit until she knows it's really
serious.”
So
until we see the two of them walking hand-in-hand down at the Power & Light
District, we’ll stay busy doing important journalism here at Stargazing World
Headquarters.
