Formerly a skeptic, Ashley Benson is now a full-fledgedBachelorfan.
“I never understood, I was like, ‘what’s the big deal?’ But then the last two [seasons] were exciting,” Benson told PEOPLE at the New York City event.
Although the show originally premiered in 2002, Benson began to watch the famous reality series this year, quickly becoming a super-fan.
“I’m obsessed. I’ve Instagram messaged every single person on there,” she admitted.
The star even discovered she shares a favorite snack with John Paul Jones from Bachelorette Hannah Brown’s recent season.
“He loves chicken nuggets, and I actually sent him a video of me eating chicken nuggets from McDonald’s,” she said.
Benson has also become close with Demi Burnett and even enjoyed a movie date with the reality star. Burnett has made headlines for herrecent engagementtoBachelor In Paradiseco-star, Kristian Haggerty, marking the first same-sex couple in the nearly two-decade-long franchise.
Benson, too, has been in the spotlight for her current relationship with actress and model Cara Delevingne. The blonde pair have been dating since June 2018, although they have worked to keep their relationship and details of their dating life private.
“I get why people care so much, and I don’t want to be so secretive that people think I’m ashamed of anything,” Delevingne recently toldElle UK,calling her relationship with Benson “sacred.” “But I’ve never been in a relationship where things are so public, or where I posted pictures of someone else. This seemed different.”

“If I could stay in, order McDonald’s and watch my favorite reality shows, that’s the best thing ever,” Benson said. “[The cast members] probably think I’m the weirdest person, but I’m obsessed with the show.”
And as for her favorite show in theBachelorfranchise?
“Hannah’s was great,” Benson said, “butBachelor In Paradiseis the best one out of all of them. The drama is so good — I can’t.”
