Last night’s episode of The Honey Badger’s Journey To Swipe Right saw intruder Deanna leave the Bachelor mansion.

Though we only saw her for a few episodes, Deanna’s time in the house was quite dramatic.

From tiffs with the ‘Mean Girls’, to being seen as emotionless during the human lie detector test and losing two people in her family during her time in the house, Deanna didn’t exactly have it easy.

“Watching [the show] back was hard to see,” Deanna told Punkee. “I was body shamed on national TV, but nothing was ever said to my face. She [Cat] said some really nasty things and I don’t stand for it.”

Deanna also said that Cat was quick to comfort her when she found out that her grandmother had passed away, saying she was “a lot nicer to me off camera.”

Deanna found out in her second week in the house her grandmother had died, and it had just come off the back of the news that her brother’s best friend had also passed away.

“He was like another brother to me,” she said. “It happened the day I entered the house. He was completely fine, then he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and died five days later.”

Last night’s episode saw Deanna go face-to-face with the human lie detector, Steve, who read her as quite emotionless. Deanna said it was a high stress situation that her family news didn’t help.

“There was a lot more to that conversation, but it had been edited it down. Nick and I did have some laughs. But being in such a stressful situation, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.”

Deanna also said she had originally applied to be on Survivor and is good friends with Robbie. She also isn’t ruling our future reality TV.

“It’s been crazy for both of us. We’ve been good friends for 10-15 years. I applied for Survivor originally, I was mentally prepared to throw myself into that!”
