"I went on the show for a good time. I didn't go on for love. Nobody goes on the show for love and then they're just surprised when they actually do fall in love," Ali, 34, told Us Weekly.
"They go on there like, 'This could be fun.'"

Ali is now married to Kevin Manno, and the couple has two children together and are considering adopting a third.
Ali admitted Instagram and becoming a social-media influencer plays a big role in why people decide to compete on the ABC reality dating series.
"In this day and age, you think people don't think about all the Instagram followers they're gonna get?... It's changed. The show has changed," Ali explained.
The blonde beauty even acknowledged achieving more followers on Instagram would inspire her to compete on the show, had the opportunity presented itself in more recent years.
"If I went on the show right now, I [would] 100 percent be thinking Instagram followers," Ali told Us.

"I think to not think that way is kinda dumb. Like, that's gotta be in the back of your mind. I'm an entrepreneur, I have an entrepreneurial type way of thinking."
Ali first appeared on Jake Pavelka's season of The Bachelor before handing out roses herself.

"I have [seen it]. I know what happens. It is unlike any finale there has ever been, and that's the truth," Ali shared with Entertainment Tonight, according to the magazine.
"I know Chris Harrison says it every season -- the most dramatic episode ever -- and I'm like, 'Chris, come on! This is, like, so not! Sometimes it is, and sometimes it's not.'"
"Last season with [Colton Underwood], I thought, 'Oh, we can't get more dramatic than this.' I think this finale might top that finale!"
