Melissa Rycroft is making a confession on the upcoming episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! next week – she’s never watched her own season!

During her conversation with host Chris Harrison, Melissa revealed that she’s only ever seen her season through clips.

“I’ve still never seen my season of The Bachelor. I’ve never seen that infamous After the Final Rose. I’ve seen clips and stuff,” she shared, adding that re-visiting her season is “weird, I’ll be honest.”

“It’s just really surreal, because it feels like a lifetime ago. It feels like I was a different person then.”

If you remember, Melissa appeared on season 13 of the hit reality show with Jason Mesnick, and was the winner. However, Jason called things off with Melissa on the After The Final Rose finale and went on to marry the runner up, and his now wife, Molly Mesnick.

Melissa went on to marry Tye Strickland and they share two children, Ava and Beckett.

She also competed on two seasons of Dancing With The Stars, winning the special All-Stars season with Tony Dovolani.

She’s assuming it’s something foodborne, but no one else in her family is ill,” her rep told Page Six.
