Blakeley from 'The Bachelor' offers Valentine's Day advice

CHARLOTTE, N.C.,None — Charlotte's own Blakeley Shea opened up to Channel 9 after being sent home from The Bachelor last week.

Although she missed out on her chance at love with Ben, she offered a few Valentine's Day tips for other romantic hopefuls.

1. Never get a woman a scale, cheap jewelry or a vacuum as a Valentine's Day gift.
2. Roses are overrated.
3. Find out her favorite flower and pick up a fresh bouquet for her.
4. Cook for your boyfriend/husband.
5. Go somewhere together and unplug the cell phones and TV set.

Shea is known best for creating a scrapbook which she gave to Ben the night she was eliminated. The scrapbook included mementos from all the places she and Ben had been together.


Her sentimental gift received mixed emotions from viewers. Though Ben appreciated the thought, in the end he sent her home without a rose or a ring.

She explained why she created the scrapbook and how it can actually be a great Valentine's Day gift idea.

Shea, a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, weighed in on who she thinks Ben will choose in the end and why.
