“I Thought He Was Nice Enough”: Sierah On Bowing Out Of ‘The Bachelor’
Sierah Swepstone was one of the louder characters to grace this year’s season of The Bachelor and already we miss her one-liners.
From farting to chlamydia, nothing was too much for Sierah and from the moment she entered and exited the show she stayed true to form.
Saying an icy goodbye to Jimmy Nicholson in last night’s marathon episode, Sierah agrees it’s for the best her journey ended when it did. “I probably would’ve eaten him alive,” she told Punkee. “It’s for the best I didn’t win.”
I'll miss you most of all, Sierah. You brought nothing but fire, the entire time you were with us. #thebachelorau pic.twitter.com/IrRUHMNoYu

From being made for reality TV to her real thoughts on Jimmy, we chatted to Sierah Swepstone about her experience on The Bachelor.
On watching her journey back:
“It’s the best, I’m pretty stoked with how I came across. It was pretty true to form. I loved my entrance, loved my exit. I was so salty! I was like, are you joking, I thought I charmed the pants off you Jimmy! Look, I know what I’m like, that’s just me having a hissy fit, like that is actually my tantrums. It’s so comical, I get really pissed off quickly and I get over it really quickly as well. It was so funny to watch.
I haven’t spoken to Jimmy since, I don’t know if things are awkward between us after I actually didn’t say goodbye to him. I don’t know if we can be friends after this!”
On her real thoughts when meeting Jimmy and the time they spent together:
“I thought he was nice enough, I didn’t think there was any kind of spark and it didn’t really grow or progress into any further. Nice enough guy, but wasn’t the one.”
“I actually did speak to Jimmy quite a lot at the cocktail parties, so we definitely had some good chats. We had a conversation where he said he was quite intimidated by me at first. I mean, look, that conversation at the dance… there was only a small fraction of it shown but I think the rest of it was pretty cringe anyway, so I’m happy it was cut!”
On what life was like behind-the-scenes with the other women:
“Everyone was really nice to me and that’s because I showed everyone respect and gave them the time of day. I don’t have any hard feelings towards anyone in the house.
“The whole Holly fiasco, I actually did stay out of the drama for the most part, so I didn’t really have any opinions. I think perhaps I did see some certain behaviours that, maybe… I could understand why people would question her. But for me, I don’t really care, I stayed in my own lane.”
On Steph ~forgetting~ what she says about other contestants:
“Genuinely when Steph says she’s forgotten or she doesn’t remember, I actually do believe her. She’s not a mean-spirited person at all, she’s a well-intentioned, authentic person. It doesn’t look good, that’s for sure. Watching [last night], I was like ‘oh my God, Steph, you idiot’ and she was like, ‘someone tell Jay sorry for me!'”
On whether she’d do reality TV again:
“I am hilarious, like, I honestly didn’t realise how funny I was and I feel like I was made for reality TV, I’ve found my calling. 100% I’d do it again, I wouldn’t do The Bachelor again — but if the testicle ratio was a little bit higher, definitely.”
On who she hopes wins The Bachelor:
“I genuinely hope Jay wins, she’s just a great person. She’s beautiful inside and out.”
