Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Vinny Guadagnino is a fan of The Bachelor. As a fellow bachelor himself, Guadagnino can offer expert commentary on Matt James’ decision-making this season. During the season 25 premiere, Guadagnino wasn’t too happy with James for keeping one woman around — and he wasn’t afraid to say why.

Vinny Guadagnino is upset Matt James kept ‘Queen Victoria’ around 

Unsurprisingly, the former Double Shot at Love star is a fan of The Bachelor. When he tuned in to the premiere, Guadagnino felt compelled to share his thoughts with his Instagram followers. 

“Don’t do it,” Guadagnino said on his Instagram Stories while watching the season premiere of The Bachelor. When James gave a rose to “Queen Victoria” Larson, Guadagnino was outraged. 

“You motherf*cker, what are you doing bro?!” Guadagnino exclaimed. “This f*cking mess?” Guadagnino wished James gave that rose to anyone else waiting for one, some of whom he said were “so hot.”

“You naughty, naughty producers making him keep this hot mess over these dimes,” the reality star added. “What the h*ll. What are you doing my guy? I’m sliding in her DMs right now.” 

Of course, Guadagnino was only joking. He followed his video post up with a disclaimer before fans could get too upset with his Bachelor commentary. 

“Also, me saying [Larson] should have went home wasn’t about her looks,” Guadagnino wrote. “If you watched the show, she had a trash personality to all the other girls…hence why she stayed for the drama. But I’m still gonna be mad at it!”  

Relationship expert Rori Sassoon agrees with Vinny Guadagnino

Larson made quite the impression on Bachelor Nation. She made one of the grandest entrances of the season, riding in on a throne, donning a crown, and demanding to be addressed as “Queen.” 

Guadagnino wasn’t the only one to take notice of Larson’s behavior. Showbiz Cheat Sheet spoke with matchmaker and relationship expert Rori Sassoon over the phone about Larson during The Bachelor premiere.

“That girl Victoria,” Sassoon said. “I was like, ‘Is she insane? Is she insane?’ Not to be mean, [but] you’re not the prettiest girl there.” Sassoon felt Larson’s confidence came off as aggressively arrogant.

“There’s a very, very big difference [between] confidence and arrogance,” Sassoon explained. “[Larson] was clearly arrogant.” 

Victoria Larson left a bad impression on ‘Bachelor Nation’ 

In Sassoon’s expert opinion, dating in a reality television setting isn’t ideal. 

“People are very into [wanting] to be memorable,” Sassoon explained of the contestants on The Bachelor. In Larson’s case, she was memorable in a negative way. Both Sassoon and Guadagnino were perplexed about what made Larson feel she was so great that she felt the need to showcase the royalty persona. 

It’s unlikely James has a real connection with Larson. He likely kept her around at the advice of The Bachelor‘s producers. In Sassoon’s humble opinion, there’s another woman James is likely to end up with. Regardless, it’s still too early to tell!
