COSMOPOLITAN November 2015 65

I HAD NO IDEA THE

BACHELORETTE WAS ON

THE CARDS... Until Channel

Ten approached me a few

months after the last season.

At the time, I turned it down.

In fact, I turned it down a

few times. The Bachelor had

a pretty heavy impact on my

life, so it took a bit of soul

searching before I finally

agreed to sign up for round

two! Thankfully, I had my

family’s full support.

I LEARNT A LOT FROM MY

EXPERIENCE WITH BLAKE...

I am so sure of who I am

now and what I expect in

a relationship. I’m a pretty

easygoing type of person,

and I’m like that when I’m

in a relationship too, so I

certainly don’t want to be

with someone who will take

advantage of that. When you

are in that kind of situation,

though, it’s not as simple.

You make yourself believe

in something that actually

just wouldn’t work in real

life. I’ve got a slightly-left-

of-centre personality, and

with Blake, it occurred to

ON SET

No question –

Australia’s first

bachelorette

knows what she

wants. Here, Sam

Frost reveals to

Cosmo the type

of guy she’d

settle down for

and whether or

not she believes

in “the spark”

me that maybe I should be

with someone like him –

someone who’s a bit sensible

and even a bit boring. I came

out of that experience a lot

wiser, and now know I want

a guy who knows exactly

who they are.

IT’S NICE THE BOYS ARE

CHASING AFTER US FOR A

CHANGE... It’s no longer the

men who hold the power with

The Bachelorette – I would

be lying if I didn’t say that

makes a nice change! We

have the power and can be

the confident, strong, sexy

women we’ve always been!

THE SPARK IS TOTALLY A

THING... You can certainly

have instant chemistry with

someone, but it’s important

you go a little deeper to make

sure that they have multiple

layers to their personality,

and it’s not just that you want

to jump them. Obviously,

though, attraction is very

important, too!

I’M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE

WHO IS FIERCELY LOYAL...

Being unfaithful is definitely

my deal-breaker. If I know

someone’s been unfaithful

in the past, it just won’t

work for me.

TO ME, CHEATING IS....

Anything that you wouldn’t

tell your partner. And that

includes any inappropriate

messages. Sure, technically

you haven’t done anything

physical, but in my opinion

that still counts as being

unfaithful. I wouldn’t be OK

knowing that my partner

was hiding text messages

from me. #

“My little trick at cocktail

parties when I’m wearing

those beautiful dresses

and it’s freezing cold is

having heat packs stuck to

me, underneath my dress.

They’re my lifesaver.”
