Lindzi Cox wasn't the only one who went home upset after "The Bachelor" finale on Monday night, as many people considered her the front-runner to win Ben Flajnik's affection, and hand in marriage. But that honor went to reality villain Courtney Robertson. Nevertheless, on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (Weeknights, 12 a.m. ET on ABC), Cox said she was happy for the couple and happy for herself.
"I'm in a really good place," she said. That's a much more serene emotional place than she was during the finale, when she told Flajnik to call her if things didn't work out with Robertson.
She said Flajnik was always nice to her, and she and Robertson had a good relationship on the show as well. But she admitted that she felt Flajnik led her on a bit. Of course, that's the nature of the show. There always has to be at least one person strung along to the end to keep tension high and viewers interested.
When asked about the possibility of being the next "Bachelorette," Cox seemed interested in the idea. "I think I'd like to have all those options," she told Jimmy Kimmel. Though she admitted it would be difficult to have to stay single from now until filming on a Lindzi Cox "Bachelorette season could begin. Currently, Emily Maynard is in line to star in the next season, set to premiere May 2012.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" can be seen every weeknight at 12 a.m. ET on ABC.

Considering Courtney Robertson has been the only person making "The Bachelor" worth watching in Season 16, it's only fitting that she took home the title...
Much of what angers the women on The Bachelor about Courtney is a sense of brutal injustice. But what these girls fail to realize is that the rules that govern them on The Bachelor are as arbitrary as Ben's middle-part haircut.
The harsh reality is that we live in a world where it's hard to find (and subsequently keep) a job, where benefits are shrinking, mortgages defaulting and rents and inflation are ever on the rise. We need to couple up, to lean on one another for moral support, not to mention split rent and utilities.
Fanciful Monday nights with friends and popcorn are long gone. I increasingly find myself screaming at my television like a crazed contestant. It's bad enough that we've had to watch the women whittle away over the years, but the show reinforces more than physical stereotypes.
Poor Kasie B ... She's professed her love roughly 19 times to the camera, 136 in her journal and I'm confident she worked in an "I love you" once or twice as she whispered sweet nothings into his ear.
A moment with a woman I may or may not have saved from a life with my former abuser is the best summation of why I want and am ready to complete the Bachelor's Degree I abandoned when I left him in 2007.
Interestingly enough, recent changes in how homosexuals are perceived are occurring across three unique and disparate groups: the U.S. military, popular media, and the IRS.
