The Bachelor‘sJasmine Nguyenis praising fellow contestant Alayah Benavidez as “nothing but kind” after she was eliminated over concerns of “fake” behavior.
“I love the way she did makeup. She did a makeup tutorial for us, actually, to kind of teach us because I knew nothing about makeup,” Nguyen, 25, said on Tuesday about Benavidez, who was former Miss Texas USA, when asked to share “something sweet about Alayah.”

And when it came to disclosing “something salty about Alayah,” Nguyen was at a loss. “I don’t have anything. I truly don’t.”
“When I say Alayah has been nothing but kind to me, she has and there’s nothing about her personality, there’s nothing about even the way she speaks that I find bad,” said Nguyen, who lived alongside Benavidez, 24, in theBachelormansion.
She continued, “[S]he wasn’t even one of my closest friends in the house, keep that in mind.”

During Monday’s episode, Benavidez attempted to explain herself to Weber, 28, after the accusations were brought against her — but the pilot still had his doubts and ultimately gave his final rose to Mykenna. (Sarah Coffin andAlexa Caveswere also sent home in addition to Benavidez and Nguyen.)
“I’m disappointed,” she said. “It just sucks that I am going out because of other people’s opinions and not what he saw directly from me.”
Despite her elimination, Benavidez won’t be gone for too long, though — a sneak peek at next week’s episode already teased her return.
