In an interview on Off the Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe on Oct. 3, the 31-year-old soon-to-be mom of three revealed that she wants to "be herself" in the second season, especially after all of the drama that unfolded in season 1.

"I don't wanna feel like I need to have some calculated game," Whitney said. "If there's animosity towards other women — which there is — I would love to, like, sit down and figure out what that is."

"During that time, I was going through so much that when I watch it, I'm like, 'Well, yeah, I was reacting that way because of [X, Y and Z],' " Whitney continued. "There's a reason why we react to certain things in our life. And, unfortunately, there was some context that wasn't there as to why I made certain decisions or as to why I reacted that way, which doesn't always make it right."

Whitney noted that she recognized some of her reactions to the drama were "dramatic," but she hopes to "continue to be myself" in the new season.

"What I really learned from this last season is I just wanna let go of what I can't control," she added. "I can't control what other women are gonna say or do or whatever, but, like, I control what I can control and I also don't wanna take things as personally as I did in the first season."
