She was one of the three women who made it to the final rounds in a competition to win over Ben Higgins and potentially become his future wife, but Caila Quinn now admits she became really angry after he ended things with her following the overnight fantasy dates on The Bachelor.

JoJo Has A Disastrous Hometown Date

Caila was eliminated not long after she told Ben that she loved him, which made it a particularly more painful blow, she told People Magazine, and as a result, when she went through her initial grief over being dumped, she was more angry at first than anything else.

"There are different stages of grief," she says. "The first one that hit me was anger. I felt like Ben was kind of rehearsed, and I just wanted him to be real with me."

However, she has admitted that now, after watching the show and seeing how things unfolded for not only her relationship with Ben, but finalists JoJo and Lauren as well, she sees things a lot more clearly and it is easier to understand, even though it doesn't change the fact that getting over being dumped was difficult for her.

"I can see how his relationship progressed with the other women, so that made it easier for me to understand," she says. "That doesn't mean it wasn't hard. But I do see that Ben is happy and I don't want to live in the past."

And her not-so-lucky experience on the show hasn't entirely soured her on finding her own happily ever after story someday--and she still seems very supportive of her former competitors as well.

"I'm really happy for [final two contestants] JoJo and Lauren," she says. "They fell hard for Ben and he opened up with them. I want to find someone who feels that passionately about me that he can't help but tell me how he feels. That will happen one day!"

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
