Caila Quinn did not walk away from The Bachelor feeling like she did all she could to win Ben Higgins' heart.

"I guess I do have one regret," Quinn, 24, confessed to Entertainment Tonight backstage at The Women Tell All taping.

"And it's that I didn't get things off my chest as soon as I felt them because I kind of held things in, which made me sound confusing -- like I sound right now. Ben just doesn't waste any time, and I feel like I should've done that as well."

Higgins eliminated the software sales representative from Hudson, OH, after his three Fantasy Suite dates in Jamaica. Quinn was blindsided and crushed, and right as her car was about to drive away, she hopped out to get some answers from the Bachelor. 

Quinn asked Higgins if he knew he was going to send her home earlier in the week, however, she noticeably declined to mention the specifics of their overnight date.

"I didn't feel like I wanted to question the Fantasy Suite night," Quinn explained.

"I felt like that time we had did progress our relationship. And I'm not dumb. There are other women there, so he still has to say goodbye to people, and I'm sure it was really hard for him too. So I'm just appreciative that he was really honest with me and I don't regret spending that time getting to know him better."

Quinn is definitely a contender now for the next The Bachelorette star.

Not only is she beautiful, bubbly and vulnerable, she also brings a lot to the table culturally and education-wise. Quinn fulfills ABC's desire for more diversity on the show since she's half-Filipino, she graduated from Boston College with a degree in marketing and she even speaks German.

Quinn talked to ET about whether she'd actually be interested in finding love on television again as Season 12's Bachelorette.

"It's definitely a condensed period of time [with] condensed emotions. It's really exciting. I might do it again, because I did fall in love, and it did work for me. It has worked for so many other people before, and that's what I really want in life, and so who cares how you meet somebody as long as they're the right person?" Quinn explained.

But if Quinn doesn't get the job, she admitted she'd love to see Amanda Stanton, a single mother of two, become the franchise's next leading lady.

"I love Amanda," Quinn gushed. "She's a great mom, and she deserves love. So I think she'd be a great person to be the next Bachelorette."

The perky brunette also noted whether she thinks Higgins selected Lauren Bushnell or Joelle "JoJo" Fletcher at the end of his journey on The Bachelor.

"I think he has really strong feelings for both of them, which means he really did fall hard, and he really opened himself to this process," Quinn said. "But personally, I think I see a little more of a connection with Lauren B., but you never know. Either way, as long as he's happy, that's all that matters."
