#Kardashley is a real thing, people!

This season on The Bachelor, standout contestant Ashley Iaconetti, who was eliminated by Chris Soules in Monday's episode, has drawn a lot of comparisons to Kim Kardashian. The hair. The make-up. The exotic looks. It's all there. And Ashley knows it: she has a personal style blog inspired by Kim and the rest of the Kardashian clan, called "Duchess Kimberly." On it, she wrote, "It's no secret to anyone who knows me (or just sees me, actually) that 'my look' is heavily influenced by Kim Kardashian and the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan...because of my affection for their style and my resemblance to the sisters, my Bachelor family bestowed the nickname 'KardASHLEYian' upon me."

Finally, on a conference call with reporters, Ashley I. addressed the fake-eyelash sporting elephant in the room: who she thinks is hotter, her or Kanye West's wife?!

"Who's hotter, Me or Kim?!" Ashley said. "Oh, Kim is definitely hotter than me!" 

And there you have it, #Kardashley (Or KardASHLEYian, according to the faux-sister herself!) has spoken!

Aside from the Kim Kardashian comparison, Ashley, 26, addressed all of the discussion and questions about her virginity, a topic which was featured a lot on the show.

"It's definitely a private topic. I never expected it to be discussed as much as it was. But I am very proud of my choice to wait for the right guy," Ashley said. "I am a hopeless romantic. I've never had the urge…I'm just waiting for the right guy. It's very simple."

As for why she was so nervous to tell Chris that she was a virgin, Ashley explained, "I was particularly nervous about telling him just because some guys haven't taken the fact that I'm a virgin in necessarily a positive way in my past."

And the freelance journalist from New Jersey had a pretty great answer to a comment about some viewers have questioning her virginity because of how often she kissed Chris during her time on The Bachelor

"I think that you can be a virgin and kiss a lot," Ashley said. "Just because I make out with a guy doesn't mean I'm not as innocent as I say I am because I am."

The Bachelor airs Sunday and Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
