Nikki Farrell: The Bachelor Frontrunner Already?

The Bachelor’s 18th season on ABC is just a few episodes old, but already, one Bachelorette looks to be rising to the top of the competition: Nikki Farrell. To those avid readers of The Bachelor spoilers , this is not surprising. We won’t give away too much here, but you can follow the link to learn more. What we will say is that she’s not getting sent home anytime soon, which should be obvious if you’ve observed how she makes Juan Pablo Galavis swoon. Juan Pablo’s reception of her during the season premiere ( watch The Bachelor online to see that and the next two episodes) appeared to set the tone. The 26-year-old, blonde Missouri native, a pediatric nurse and part-time model, did not secure the first impression rose, she was noticed for sure. Nikki Farrell presented him with a stethoscope so that he could “hear how nervous and excited she was.” JPG was excited too, not-so-subtly feeling her up. In each of the next two weeks, she’s won the group date rose, no doubt sparking jealousy among the rest of the women … and that’s only the beginning. Soothsayer Reality Steve suggests that Farrell may just turn out to be the “villain” – the least liked woman in the house on Season 18 of The Bachelor . If she also won the final rose, it would make her a member of an exclusive club with the likes of Vienna Girardi, Shayne Lamas and Courtney Robertson. None of whom stayed engaged to The Bachelor , it’s worth noting. It remains to be seen if Nikki Farrell makes it all the way, or whether she (or whomever wins this season) stays together with Juan Pablo Galavis . We would have to bet against that, if only because of statistics. The track record just isn’t good, despite a recent uptick. Here’s a look at recent Bachelor and Bachelorette couples and whether they’re still together … The Bachelor Couples: Are They Still Together? Open Slideshow 1.

Lorde Praises Herself, Taylor Swift in Rolling Stone Interview

Oh, Lorde, the latest issue of Rolling Stone is a must-read. The magazine featured outspoken teenage sensation Lorde on the cover, someone who has feuded with Selena Gomez , who is nominated for a number of Grammys and who recently befriended Taylor Swift. Not long after totally bashing Taylor Swift . The Australian singer is on record as saying Swift is so “flawless and unattainable” that she actually sets a bad example for young girls… but Taylor still sent Lorde a bouquet of roses after “Royals” soared to number-one. “I was floored,” Lorde tells Rolling Stone of the gesture. The 17-year old went on to say Swift is one of the artists who possesses a “real teenage voices.” Among other singers who Lorde includes in this class? Herself! “There are very few of us,” she tells the magazine. “There’s Tavi [Gevinson] and the Rookie [Mag] group, King Krule, and, to an extent, Jake Bugg. The other teenagers sing other people’s songs, which is fine, but it’s not an authentic teenage experience.” Lorde has made quite the name for herself in only a year or so on the music scene. And not always in a positive manner. She and boyfriend James Lowe experienced some major Twitter heat last month. “[I’m] not completely impervious to insult,” she says. “I’m a human being.” Overall, the artist may come across as brash, confident and even cocky… but she has her moments of vulnerability. “I get paralyzingly nervous a lot of times, so I tried bravado,” she tells the publication. “The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it strange or intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.” And if you think Lorde is impressive… listen to her sister, India Yelich-O’Connor , now!
