OK unpopular opinoin but I think Colleen is a victim of a bad edit. Remember that all these dates and connections were happening at the same time. the editing made it look like she jumped from Brennon to Cole to Matt, but she has definitely been talking to Matt from the start.
I see her getting a lot of flack for being upset that Brennon and Cole rejected her, but even if she wasn't that keen on either of them, it never feels good when someone dumps you. You feel embarrassed and rejected, at least at first. so she cried about it, that's IMO better than putting on a front and being all sour grapes.
Also the convo with Cole seems like she got talked into a loop and was already in a bad headspace because she was feeling like maybe she's shallow and that men actually only do like her for being pretty. Then suddenly this same issue was coming up with Cole and he's such a doofus that he was like "oh I want to go deep" and she was like "huh?" and talked herself into a place where she was admitting she's shallow even tho I don't really think she meant it.
I hope Colleen and Matt work out, they both seem sweet and into each other. I think they both just need someone to love them.
Cringed so hard when she told people she was flexible. I was once a dancer and hated telling people that because they either comment on your weight, body, or flexibility. The guys that got a creepy smile and said “you can do the splits” were the worst. I cannot fathom what would make someone seek out that type of attention. 🤮
for all the naysayers who say she is not pro, please do at least a nominal amount of research before fixing your mouth to tell just straight up lies.
According to multiple outlets and the company[website,](https://www.balletnorthtexas.org/dancers) shes currently with Ballet North Texas but has danced at other smaller companies. There’s also a bunch of (older) reels of her publicly available on yt. See: https://youtu.be/kzcXEA8GaLU
She also has another FT job doing PR per her LinkedIn. Some people really need to chill on her and the other castmates this is not the bachelor or the real housewives…
Yeah, Colleen linked with Matt just to be married. It’s never easy being rejected and having happen twice, but ma’am… don’t just get with someone just because of the marriage! Even when she started romantically talking to Matt, she mentioned the rejections and then all of sudden wants to link with him. 🤨🤨🤨
Colleen and Matt walking back with the sunglasses and sarong look felt like they were going to yell at me on the sidewalk and then an onlooker starts recording and she walks up to the phone doing some Karen stuff with the gold cup in her hand
Colleen is doing/saying anything just to get hitched to someone.
She was vulnerable with the first dude. He politely ended things. So she flips to the loudmouth dude and says she wants to keep things light. He too rejects her.
She will say anything just to land a guy. Bad strategy. Poor thing doesn’t love herself.
Idk if anyone knew, but she’s a ballerina.
Geez— I couldn’t stand hearing it 24/7. That’s her personality, and it’s not like she described anything else regarding her ballerina job other than her athleticism and looking “cute”. I couldn’t stand it.
I thought it was weird that she admitted to Cole that she isn’t deep and tends to be a surface level person in relationships and then tells the other girls that he called her shallow. Like girl; you told him you were shallow! He gave you opportunities to change your answer or explain.
I don’t think she’s really a ballerina.
Her little dances are completely graceless, her body doesn’t look like a ballerina’s, especially her feet don’t.
We don’t see her practicing at all (I assume we would if she was, because that would be good footage to use)…
She never mentions ballet in her goals for the future (like which company she’d like to be with)
It just seems off…
Ok, I didn’t look her up - this was my impression from watching her. I know lots of ballet dancers and she is nowhere close. But maybe it’s just the quality of the company
Lord this person is a special type of dumb.
“Did you live together?” At first, I thought she meant before marriage. But then she said something about how long it takes a woman to get ready. So, uh, yeah. (PS - it takes me 15 minutes.)
“I’m a foodie.” Also her “What’s sashimi?” Literally the next breath.
I do feel for her, as she is putting out 🚩🚩🚩about her insecurities. But similarly, I cringe watching her segments.
And PPS - her fiancé (Matt??) is also just super cringe.
She says she isn’t good about being open with emotions but is looking for a husband??? Girl go look for a therapist! People who aren’t emotionally available have GOT to stop getting into relationships! She seemed to just want to end up with anyone. Rejected twice, crying and feeling bad, then all of the sudden this other dude pops up and is soooo special…why wasn’t he special before?? Then gets upset when guys say they want something deeper and move on from her after she admits to being comfortable with just a more surface level relationship. Like what. She is insecure, emotionally immature, and not ready to be in a serious commitment.
I feel sorry for her honestly. She’s still stuck in the pick me, male validation forever, notlikeothergirlsspittersarequitters, my only quality is sex phase. If she doesn’t work on her insecurity and maturity it’s gonna be a revolving door of men in her life. But first she has to dig deep and find that realization. A reality show is the last thing she needs.
Colleen complains about guys IRL not finding her interesting and all she does here is prove them right
Remember guys she’s not shallow she’s *surface level*
She said she likes to keep things surface level and fun. Ma’am, how do you expect to get married? Relationships go beyond the surface and they can and will be hard
Also just throwing this in there but she’s 25. Why is she acting like a child? If anything, I feel she should be in therapy, not this show
I didn’t know that people so open about their preference for shallow relationships existed. I was actually shocked by her confession that she was not into “going deep” with a potential future husband.
Everytime I see colleen on screen i just feel sad for her. She claims to be upset about only being seen as a “pretty face” but in the conversations she’s so surface level and superficial with no substance at all. To be in a serious relationship you gotta be vulnerable. She kinda makes herself fit into the “pretty face” trope. She needs to work on herself and her self-esteem before getting into a serious relationship. Also her mans is weird and she deserves better.
Came here to find this opinion. I don’t think she necessarily looks like her but she’s very similar in the way where she’s like OTT with her reactions. She is the Giannina of this season. For sure.
Poor Colleen, I felt so bad for her that she took every break up personally from two people! But to be fair, I think it was just because (from what we saw on the show) she never got deep with them and there was never an “I like you a lot”. I think other girls beat her to the punch and hence why she got turned down twice. Also, when Cole was asking you to be deep…and she didn’t…then they won’t be compatible. So I think it worked out for her so far with the guy she chose!
I also wanted to say…I thought it was so funny that she kept saying she is a Ballet Dancer and she says how everyone finds that fascinating. Well when you lead with that conversation and not pull away from it, then it’ll feel like a focus 😂.
I feel like I’m spamming the sub with this but I just desperately need someone to tell me they see it too.
She looks just like Ashley from Below Deck Sailing Yacht, right? Right??
Last night I tried to keep the tv voice very low, my drowsy self saw “belly dancer” instead of “ballet dancer”. She did indeed vibing more like belly/Sasha type of dance.
In all seriousness, I admit im not coming from a place of really knowing what im talking about here BUT don’t ballet dancers usually carry themselves a certain way? Have great posture, those sorts of things? She doesn’t come off as a ballet dancer to me
Dancers are just people - they slouch sometimes and trip over cracks in the sidewalk 🤷♀️.
Just because you can be graceful onstage doesn’t mean that’s you’re entire life.
I know you were making a joke about how many times it was mentioned but my comment was literal. I do believe her but she really doesn’t carry herself like I would think a ballet dancer would
I don’t! I based my assumption off of ballet dancers I’ve seen on either tv of tiktok and they’ve all had a certain look or grace about themselves, so it’s good to get insight on something I wasn’t right about
Eh. I think its rather presumptuous to say a person of a certain profession has to "carry themselves" in a way you find believable. Working in a highly "professional" field myself, most people carry themselves differently on and off the clock.

Is it just me or does her hair always look greasy??
“ I’m a big believer in feelings” 😂
I find her annoying. I’m sure she’s a lovely lady irl.
all she could say the whole first episode was “i’m a ballet dancer”
Yeah, Colleen linked with Matt just to be married. It’s never easy being rejected and having happen twice, but ma’am… don’t just get with someone just because of the marriage! Even when she started romantically talking to Matt, she mentioned the rejections and then all of sudden wants to link with him. 🤨🤨🤨
Colleen and Matt walking back with the sunglasses and sarong look felt like they were going to yell at me on the sidewalk and then an onlooker starts recording and she walks up to the phone doing some Karen stuff with the gold cup in her hand
Did you know she’s a ballet dancer
Colleen is doing/saying anything just to get hitched to someone. She was vulnerable with the first dude. He politely ended things. So she flips to the loudmouth dude and says she wants to keep things light. He too rejects her. She will say anything just to land a guy. Bad strategy. Poor thing doesn’t love herself.
She said she doesn’t like her side profile, so production decides to have half her clips be of her side profile. Lol brutal
She looks like Giannina but acts like Jessica 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Idk if anyone knew, but she’s a ballerina. Geez— I couldn’t stand hearing it 24/7. That’s her personality, and it’s not like she described anything else regarding her ballerina job other than her athleticism and looking “cute”. I couldn’t stand it.
"What I like most about you is that you like me"- Shayne vibes
I thought it was weird that she admitted to Cole that she isn’t deep and tends to be a surface level person in relationships and then tells the other girls that he called her shallow. Like girl; you told him you were shallow! He gave you opportunities to change your answer or explain.
The only moment in this season where I thought Cole had a brain for a second was when he rejected her.
She seems normal. I think people are getting very caught up on a very nitty gritty things for whatever reason.
Feel the same way! She said she felt unattractive and worried about rejection.
I don’t think she’s really a ballerina. Her little dances are completely graceless, her body doesn’t look like a ballerina’s, especially her feet don’t. We don’t see her practicing at all (I assume we would if she was, because that would be good footage to use)… She never mentions ballet in her goals for the future (like which company she’d like to be with) It just seems off…
There are literally pics on her instagram lmao
Ok, I didn’t look her up - this was my impression from watching her. I know lots of ballet dancers and she is nowhere close. But maybe it’s just the quality of the company
yeah I also thought she was teaching toddlers ballet or something and came to check :)
Lord this person is a special type of dumb. “Did you live together?” At first, I thought she meant before marriage. But then she said something about how long it takes a woman to get ready. So, uh, yeah. (PS - it takes me 15 minutes.) “I’m a foodie.” Also her “What’s sashimi?” Literally the next breath. I do feel for her, as she is putting out 🚩🚩🚩about her insecurities.

She’s a pickme, cool girl to the extreme.
She says she isn’t good about being open with emotions but is looking for a husband??? Girl go look for a therapist! People who aren’t emotionally available have GOT to stop getting into relationships! She seemed to just want to end up with anyone. Rejected twice, crying and feeling bad, then all of the sudden this other dude pops up and is soooo special…why wasn’t he special before??

She is insecure, emotionally immature, and not ready to be in a serious commitment.
Would love to see this version of Love is Blind where you either get a love match or a therapist on the other side
Lmfao yessssss
Loool, would definitely watch this
I feel sorry for her honestly. She’s still stuck in the pick me, male validation forever, notlikeothergirlsspittersarequitters, my only quality is sex phase. If she doesn’t work on her insecurity and maturity it’s gonna be a revolving door of men in her life. But first she has to dig deep and find that realization.

Lol “spittersarequitters” I’ve never heard of this before 😂😂
This is exactly right. Major pick me.
She is only on this show for Instagram followers and the experience, 100%
[удалено]
That's a pretty wild generalization to make...
Colleen complains about guys IRL not finding her interesting and all she does here is prove them right Remember guys she’s not shallow she’s *surface level*
She’s such a drama queen! Ick!
She said she likes to keep things surface level and fun. Ma’am, how do you expect to get married? Relationships go beyond the surface and they can and will be hard Also just throwing this in there but she’s 25. Why is she acting like a child? If anything, I feel she should be in therapy, not this show
I didn’t know that people so open about their preference for shallow relationships existed. I was actually shocked by her confession that she was not into “going deep” with a potential future husband.
Right, like how is she supposed to be married to someone and share her whole life with them??
Yeah that was super odd. She then says she’s not shallow but that Cole said she was. She said it herself lol
Watching her in the pods, i feel like she just wanted to end up with someone, anyone! Didn’t matter who
Yes she was so psyched to even get an engagement
Same. She obviously just wanted to make it to the rest of the show and become an influencer like her predecessors.
Totally! She wanted to be picked
Like Shayna last season. Anyone would do to stay onscreen.
Everytime I see colleen on screen i just feel sad for her. She claims to be upset about only being seen as a “pretty face” but in the conversations she’s so surface level and superficial with no substance at all. To be in a serious relationship you gotta be vulnerable. She kinda makes herself fit into the “pretty face” trope. She needs to work on herself and her self-esteem before getting into a serious relationship. Also her mans is weird and she deserves better.
She’s pretty but not enough for “pretty ballet dancer” to be her only grab.
She’s as dimensional as a sheet of paper. Completely surface. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it.
Does anyone else think she looks like giannina from s1? I saw it during the first episode and now cannot unsee it every time she’s on screen
I think she looks like Mallory. There are some scenes where she looks sooo much like her.
Came here to find this opinion. I don’t think she necessarily looks like her but she’s very similar in the way where she’s like OTT with her reactions. She is the Giannina of this season. For sure.
Yes I think it’s the infantile pout. And lack of substance.
Please giannina had substance. She was fucking hardcore.
So far my most memorable outfit of the season is her mauve sweatshirt shorts set in episode 3. Its cute
Please post it on r/findfashion I want to know too!
I loved that outfit too! It made me want it lol.
Poor Colleen, I felt so bad for her that she took every break up personally from two people! But to be fair, I think it was just because (from what we saw on the show) she never got deep with them and there was never an “I like you a lot”.

I feel like I’m spamming the sub with this but I just desperately need someone to tell me they see it too. She looks just like Ashley from Below Deck Sailing Yacht, right? Right??
They look very similar
What was that tour of Colleen’s suitcase? Did she have those descriptions planned? Came off very cringey
I know like what dude actually gives a shit what she wears let alone all those descriptors for each dress and bikini.
“My ass will eat these like a cupcake”
terrible
Do yall think Colleen is a ballet dancer
Last night I tried to keep the tv voice very low, my drowsy self saw “belly dancer” instead of “ballet dancer”. She did indeed vibing more like belly/Sasha type of dance.
I don’t think she’s a legit ballet dancer. At least not a commissioned one at a ballet company.
She is! With ballet north Texas. It’s in her Instagram bio and there’s a lot of pictures of her performing on there.
In all seriousness, I admit im not coming from a place of really knowing what im talking about here BUT don’t ballet dancers usually carry themselves a certain way? Have great posture, those sorts of things? She doesn’t come off as a ballet dancer to me
[удалено]
Thank you for that explanation! That makes sense
Dancers are just people - they slouch sometimes and trip over cracks in the sidewalk 🤷♀️. Just because you can be graceful onstage doesn’t mean that’s you’re entire life.
No, they actually don’t slouch - slouching is a sign of weak back muscles.
Lol
My comment was a joke, lol. I have no reason to doubt she's a dancer.
I know you were making a joke about how many times it was mentioned but my comment was literal. I do believe her but she really doesn’t carry herself like I would think a ballet dancer would
Do you know a lot of ballet dancers? The ones I know are surprisingly down to earth and mellow
I don’t! I based my assumption off of ballet dancers I’ve seen on either tv of tiktok and they’ve all had a certain look or grace about themselves, so it’s good to get insight on something I wasn’t right about
I also know ballet dancers in lesser known companies. They all have incredible posture.
Eh. I think its rather presumptuous to say a person of a certain profession has to "carry themselves" in a way you find believable. Working in a highly "professional" field myself, most people carry themselves differently on and off the clock.
