Forget about finding love. Andi Dorfman just wants to keep it real tonight!
While JoJo Fletcher began her search for a husband on ABC's The Bachelorette, one former contestant was hanging out with a few ladies who know a thing or two about dating reality shows.
At the Paley Center for Media in New York City Monday night, Andi posed for photos with Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer before moderating a panel with the rest of the UnREAL cast.
For those missing out on the irony, where have you been let us explain!
UnREAL is a scripted drama created by a former Bachelor staffer that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos surrounding the production of a romantic competition program.

Meanwhile, Andi recently wrote a book titled It's Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak Into Happily Never After that includes stories from her time on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. While supporting the book, the reality star admitted that some of the things she did for the cameras weren't exactly normal.
"For me, it was the very first night on The Bachelor, my first season," she shared with Cosmopolitan. "I remember standing in the rose ceremony room. It's 4:30 in the morning at this point, it's freezing cold, everyone is cold and nervous standing on these risers, and you could hear the teeth chattering and the deep breaths."
She continued, "And I watch Juan Pablo come in with a stack of roses, and I'm thinking, 'This is the stupidest thing I've ever been a part of. I'm standing here cold, my feet hurt, and I'm waiting for a dude I don't know to give me a rose.'"
Andi ultimately admitted that she was "naïve" and that "reality television got me."
While she didn't find "the one" on the ABC series, we have plenty of confidence that millions of viewers will be tuning into the 12th installment of The Bachelorette this week. And for those who want even more drama, perhaps we can recommend season 2 of UnREAL premiering June 6 on Lifetime.
"We don't solve problems. We point cameras at them," Shiri said in a teaser. Oh, if only you knew sooner Andi.
