https://www.reddit.com/r/thebachelor/comments/mn0hqe/victoria_f_on_clickbait_recap/So a lot of you have been asking me…I kid, I kid. I saw a couple people say they wanted a recap of Victoria Fuller on Clickbait and there’s a little bit of conversation about it in various threads, so here’s a recap to bring it to one place. It’s mostly religion talk and flirting with Grocery Store Joe.
Nashville
Victoria has recently moved to Nashville. She was going to move to West Hollywood and was there for a week and a half and hated it. LA was in lockdown at the time and there was apparently some sketchiness (a guy rummaging around her backyard). She flew into Nashville for one day, fell in love with it, and moved there a month later. She lives within five minutes of Kelsey and Victoria Paul and hangs out with them regularly.
Religion
During her one-day trip to Nashville, she met some new friends who connected her to a church. Says she has committed herself to the Lord and is saving herself for marriage. Joe asks her if she has always been a religious person. She says that she grew up Catholic, but she would define herself as more spiritual than religious. “I just didn’t have this relationship with God like I do now.”
Why the change? She says the non-denominational church that she has started going to really opened her eyes to who the Lord really is. She grew up feeling like everything she did was judged or that she was doing something wrong, never felt accepted. She feels now that she has been open to a world where God forgives. She felt a lot of shame and guilt coming off The Bachelor and coming out of that was hard. To find a community and feel like there’s mercy and grace is everything to her now.
Dating
She still drinks, but isn’t going home from a bar with anyone. Her two biggest questions when dating are:
What’s your relationship with the Lord?
What are your intentions?
Doesn’t think she would spend the night with a guy because of temptation. If she went on a vacation with someone, she would want two rooms. She says her relationships in the past have revolved around sex. “I just know that I have to be super obedient in this area and that’s what God has told me.”
Joe wants to know exactly what celibacy entails. Victoria says it all depends on how she feels in that moment, but there are certain boundaries she won’t cross. Natasha asks if dry humping is still on the table. Victoria says maybe.
Joe asks Victoria what her ideal first date. She asks if it’s because he wants to know, then jokes that it’s Joe cooking her pasta at home and having wine.
Natasha asks at what point Victoria would ask a guy to go to church with her. She says immediately. She has already asked guys she was dating to go to church with her and thinks their reaction and how they interact with her community is telling. She has gone out with guys that weren’t down with it and they went their separate ways. She says she needs a leader in her faith and wants someone to be on the same spiritual walk with her.
Victoria says that she is in the best place she has been in her life.
Last weekend
People gathered last weekend for Kelsey’s (and her twin’s) birthday. Group included Blake, Clay, Chasen, Spencer, Chris R., Chris B, and Ed. Victoria says Ed is low-key the coolest person ever. (My note: This is completely unimportant. I just find it funny.) They ask if anyone hooked up and Victoria coyly says she doesn’t think so, but she doesn’t know. They all think she’s lying. Joe says her church isn’t going to approve of her lying and he’s going to call her pastor.
Paradise
Joe asks Victoria if she’s considering going on Paradise and she asks if he’s going. She says she’s going to keep her mind open and we’ll see. Natasha asks if Chris Soules would go on Paradise for her. Victoria says she’ll always have a soft spot for him. He’s one of the most amazing men that she’s ever met. Victoria says she doesn’t know if he would come to the beach. Tayshia asks if Victoria has her eye on any men outside of Chris and she says there are some cuties, but names no names.
They play a little game. Most answers are dull. Natasha asks her her BN crush and she says Joe. Joe jokes that he’s googling the local church as they speak.
