Victoria Larson Introduces 'Goddess' Persona and '5-Second Rule' in New 'Paradise' Promo
Victoria Larson came to “Bachelor in Paradise” with two very important things: her new “Goddess” persona and a “five-second rule.”
The latest promo for the summer spin-off teases both. “Should we go talk to boys?” Victoria asks castmates Tammy Ly and Deandra Kanu. “Go talk to boys,” Tammy says. “Who do you wanna talk to?”
Encouraged by Tammy, Victoria states, “I’m gonna go, like, mingle and then try.”
The standout contestant — better known to Bachelor Nation as Queen Victoria, her self-appointed title — then walks over to the bar to capture the guys’ attention.
“I’m a goddess and I need the guy to come to me,” Victoria says in a confessional, asserting that The Queen retreated while looking for love on the beaches of Mexico to make way for her deific character.
So, how does The Goddess attract a man? With her “five-second rule,” of course.
“Wait, did I tell you about the five-second rule?” she says, speaking to the camera. “When you smile to initiate the guy to come over, you literally have to do five seconds [of smiling]. And then [he’d] come over.”
Back at the bar, Victoria sits and smiles — but unfortunately fails to make waves with any of her potential suitors.
“My goddess energy didn’t quite kick in,” she laments. “That seriously all sucked.”
