While "The Bachelor[1] " is preparing for its new season with Juan Pablo, the reality staple took a moment to remember one of its own. "The Bachelor: Countdown to Juan Pablo[2] " special paid tribute to former contestant Gia Allemand, who took her own life in August 2013[3] . It included interviews with cast members and Gia's mother, who said, "I just miss her. Gia was always full of such life and she’d walk into a room and you could feel her presence."
In a poignant interview with Gia herself, the young beauty said, "I just hope people remember me for my kind heart, you know? That’s important. I have a big heart for people, so ... that’s what I’d like to be remembered for."
Buddy TV's Bill King thought it a touching tribute, writing, "She was a beautiful and loving girl who seemingly had it all. It's a stark reminder of the dangers of depression[4] and a push to seek help for anyone reeling from its effects. Rest in peace, sweet girl.”
"The Bachelor" kicks off its new season tonight at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. Fans can also look forward to several new "Bachelor" specials each Sunday at 8 p.m. EST this month.
