She described her love with Ben Higgins as ‘all-consuming, ever present’ and ‘constantly growing’, but Olivia Caridi was sent home on Monday’s episode of The Bachelor.
The wildly confident former news anchor said she ‘knew’ that she and Ben would marry – but her feelings were unrequited and she was struck off.
Kindergarten teacher Lauren Himle, 25, and Leah Block, a 25-year-old event planner, were also rejected this week.

Olivia, 23, had became annoyed to share Ben with Emily Ferguson, also 23, who had also been selected for a two-on-one date.
‘She’s young, she’s like a bird, I mean I don’t give a sh*t,’ moaned Olivia.
‘Emily and I are the same age…but I’m going to feel like I’m going on a date with my daughter,’ she said defiantly.

‘Ben and I’s love is that all-consuming, ever present, constantly growing kind of love,’ grinned Olivia, who described herself as ‘rounded, strong and ‘intimidating’.
‘Deep intellectual things are just my jam,’ she gloated.
‘Emily and I are the same age…but I’m going to feel like I’m going on a date with my daughter,’ Olivia said defiantly

After a ‘draining’ day Ben cancelled the final cocktail party and jumped right to the execution stage – where Lauren H. got the chop.
‘I would have been great for him…I don’t really get what he wants,’ she cried.
‘I just want someone to get me, and love me,’ she said.
Didn't make the cut: Kindergarten teacher Lauren Himle, 25, was also sent packing
Real estate developer JoJo Fletcher was ‘terrified’, but he saved her with a rose.
‘I’m scared to open myself up,’ bawled the 24-year-old.
Becca and Lauren B. were also spared.
Moving forward: Lauren B. received a rose
The show had opened with Ben pulling Olivia aside, to ask why the other women were so disparaging about her.
Olivia blamed her rivals for being jealous: ‘Immediately there was a target on my back,’ she complained.
The leggy blonde then criticised the others, telling Ben that they like to ‘paint their nails’ while she favors ‘reading books’ and ‘thinking’.
So long: Ben told Olviia that he couldn't reciprocate her feelings and sent her home
‘I’m just different,’ she boasted.
‘I want to talk smart things [sic],’ she continued.
‘Come at me, bro…everybody else can suck it,’ she raged coarsely in her monologue later.
After the first rose ceremony Jennifer Saviano, a 25-year-old ‘small business owner’ was sent packing.
‘He doesn’t know who I am,’ she whispered sadly.
With Jennifer gone they set of for the sunny Bahamas – where Ben had a one-on-one date, a group date and that awkward two-on-one with Olivia and Emily.

Software sales rep. Caila, 24, got the one-on-one…for the second time.
Leah was ‘pis*ed’ that it wasn’t her.
‘I don’t know why I’m here,’ sobbed the 25-year-old, from Denver Colorado.
Caila and Ben took a boat ride for some deep sea fishing and swimming in the aquamarine waters.
Over dinner she said: ‘Right now, I feel like I love you’.
‘But my biggest fear is that I’m going to hurt you,’ she backtracked, while musing that she might not ‘completely' love him yet.
Ben was allured by her ‘confusing’ nature and gave her a rose anyway.
Distraught Leah was sent on the group date – a trip on a sailboat to Ben’s ‘private island’.

As they reached the shallows they came across a group of swimming pigs.
The women squealed as relentlessly as the animals.
‘They’re pretty aggressive, especially the bigger ones,’ said Amanda Stanton, a kind-natured single mother.
After the commotion Lauren Bushnell stole Ben away, leaving the others disgruntled.
‘I feel like I’m the group date groupie,’ sobbed Leah.
Ben then pulled Becca Tilley aside afterwards to ask her why she had been ‘standoffish’
The Californian beauty, 26, was a bit jealous about his connection to Lauren B.
‘I’m feeling it…because I really, really like, you,’ confessed the chiropractic assistant.
Scare tactics: Leah tried to scare Ben off Lauren B my throwing her under the bus
Feeling threatened, Leah threw Lauren B. under the bus, by saying she was two faced and ‘it probably wouldn’t work out’ if Ben fell for her.
Leah blatantly lied to the girls when they confronted her about the betrayal. She then visited Ben’s room to reiterate her point.
‘How she comes across doesn’t seem genuine,’ she said, but Ben didn’t believe her.
‘Something doesn’t feel right,’ he told her.
Adding: ‘I think it’s best for us to say goodbye’.
‘I feel foolish, but I feel like Ben is the fool for letting me go,’ she decided.
He gave the rose to Amanda for being ‘sweet’ the whole time.
The drama continues next week on ABC.
