Chrishell Stause has been flown in as a very special guest to host Stan 's much-anticipated season three Love Triangle reunion.
And on Tuesday, the Selling Sunset star, 43, didn't hold back when it came to calling out Bernie for his 'gross behaviour' and questionable motives after footage of his secret tryst with Chloe was played back in front to the cast.
'It was just so obvious to me,' Chrishell said.
'He shut down immediately when the daters didn't look a certain way. He wasn't open to taking any form of accountability.
'I understand that's your preference, but the whole point of the show is to be open. I feel like he robbed the other daters of the experience. That already says something about him.'
But it was Bernie's short-lived tryst with Chloe that left Chrishell fuming.
'He wooed somebody from another triangle and dumped her right before [the reunion]… It was very clear to me he wanted to sleep with Chloe,' she said.
'He told her whatever she wanted to hear to do that and he didn't want to then be on TV with a girlfriend. He wanted to go out and sleep with whoever he wanted. It's just gross behaviour.
'Whether he wants to admit it or not – and I hope he gets to a place where he can – that was his intention. And I wanted to push him to own it.'
Since attending the reunion back in November, Sydney-based Bernie has refused to take any accountability for his behaviour, refused to speak to any the cast or even acknowledge his involvement on the show.
'It's not surprising to me or anyone probably that's dealt with someone like him. He's very charming,' Chrishell explained.
'You see why, he probably, ends up hurting a lot of people because he's never going to be that guy that's able, I don't wanna say that.
'Maybe watching the show back will help him, but I feel like he's gotten away so far... [He's] really just getting away with a lot of things because he thinks he can, and, leading people on and ends up hurting people.
'I think it's nice for people to be able to watch someone like that where it's okay, I'm sure a lot of people have fallen for this before.'
The US-based reality star revealed she was shown rough edits of episodes before filming the reunion, which helped her prepare to hold the cast accountable.
'The show hadn't come out yet, so I was being shown rough edits of the episodes before they went to air,' she explained.
'I also got to talk with the producers because I wanted to know – wait, are they really like this? The way that it's coming across?
'I come from Selling Sunset, and I've seen where sometimes something can really be turned on its head and it's not how it went. But that is not the case with this show.'
Chrishell said the producers even kept her from meeting the cast until the moment she walked out onto the set.
'They held me back from meeting them until I actually walk out. So yeah, it was just a crazy situation to be able to ask all the questions I wanted to – as if I was an audience member,' she explained.
And she didn't hold back on those questions, particularly when it came to men avoiding accountability on dating shows.
'I'm such a lover, I really root for love. But I want people to not be able to get away with that behaviour anymore. Nowadays with social media, it's helped shine a light on things people used to get away with,' she said.
'Bernie is a perfect example. If this show aired years ago, he would've gotten away with it like gangbusters. But we're in a new age now. Women are sharpening up, we're sharing our experiences.
'Gaslighting didn't even used to be a word – we didn't know what it was. Now we know the signs, and we're not falling for it.'
When asked how she spots someone faking it for the cameras, Chrishell was quick to point out a clear sign.
'Their words don't match their actions,' she explained.
'If someone is saying they're here for love, but when they thought nobody was paying attention, they spoke about women in a degrading way… that tells you everything.
'They're not looking for love – they need to learn how to love themselves first.'
Despite the takedowns, Chrishell insisted she genuinely wants these men to learn and grow from the experience.
'I do root for them to get better. I hope they watch this back and are able to reflect. I've been on Selling Sunset, and the world bombards you with feedback – but sometimes that feedback helps,' she said.
'If you're able to take it on the chin and reflect, it'll make you a better person.'
Having starred on The Traitors and numerous reality shows herself, Chrishell said she's was thrilled sitting in the host's seat for Stan.
'I did The Traitors, which filmed in Australia as well – but I'm definitely staying in the host seat for now,' she laughed.
'It's a lot more stressful being in the hot seat!'
So would she return for another season?
'Absolutely. I loved working with Stan. I would do it again in a heartbeat,' she said.
'I think we need to find more daters who are genuinely open to the process.
'There's justice to be had for some of the people who went into this with the right heart – and didn't get the outcome they deserved.'
Chrishell even floated the idea of bringing Love Triangle to the US.
'America would love this show – it was so juicy. My jaw dropped so many times!' she said.
And while she and her Aussie partner G Flip are still based in LA, Chrishell didn't rule out a future move Down Under.
'We always have that as an option,' she teased.
'We love Australia – it's always on the board of possibilities.'
As for the advice she'd give to the cast now that the reunion has aired?
'It's going to be hard. There's a lot of criticism that comes with being on a public platform. But if you can be open to feedback - even the bad stuff - you'll come out of it a better person,' she concluded.
