"I have a really big heart" — The Bachelor star Sarafiena on wanting to get married

After taking on the hot seat, Sarafiena set the record straight regarding her feud with Zoe. Earlier in the series, she had criticized Zoe's dress, calling it the "shortest dress" she had ever seen. During the Tell All segment, The Bachelor star took responsibility for her comment and apologized, admitting it was "quite possibly the worst thing" she had said to anyone.

Sarafiena added that the cast should go easy on Zoe because she was a "very misunderstood person." She then spoke about her time on the show, saying she wanted to find her perfect match and get married soon.

"I have a really big heart, and I feel like a lot of people don't see that," she expressed.

Sarafiena wondered if she could not express herself in the "right ways." Regardless, she said she loved "so hard" and hoped to find someone who would see that in her.

Later in the episode, Sarafiena engaged in a heated argument with co-star Carolina, calling her out for having a "not positive" attitude on their group date in Scotland.
