“I fall in love more than once.
Nothing’s off limits this season.
Love is love, and I gotta do what I gotta do,” she declared.
In addition to falling in love, Thurston also spoke candidly about sex and those fan-favorite fantasy suite dates.
“I have sex in the fantasy suites, so you heard it here first.
We all know it happens, but no one’s talking about it!”
