TORONTO – Four more ladies have been shown the door on “The Bachelor Canada.”
Former CFL player Brad Smith narrowed the field down to 12 suitors following a group date to New Orleans, a spin around a Las Vegas racetrack and romantic one-on-one getaways to Tofino, B.C. and Victoria.
“The Bachelor Canada” is based on the popular U.S. reality series. The 29-year-old Smith is a former wide receiver for the Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos.
Wednesday’s episode — the second of the season — sent 26-year-old petroleum land administrator Michelle Vessey packing. She noted Thursday that she didn’t get much one-on-one time with Smith.
The Calgary beauty said she enjoyed her time on the show but likely wouldn’t be interested if she was invited to star in a Canadian version of “The Bachelorette.”
“I do believe in the process and I think ‘The Bachelor’ franchise does a really good job of matching people and finding really incredible ladies and gentlemen to be on these shows,” Vessey said Thursday in a conference call.
“(But) I’m not sure that I have the aggressive personality type that’s required to do a show like that.”
Also leaving the series were 23-year-old medical student Laura F. from Winnipeg, 28-year-old Playboy model Melissa Marie from Vancouver and 32-year-old model/neuroscientist Stephanie from Montreal.
Next week, Smith and the bachelorettes explore a cattle ranch in Calgary and head to sunny Mexico.
“The Bachelor Canada” airs Wednesdays on Citytv.
