“We’re all just like, what the heck is this thing?” the vintage store owner, 28, asks the cameras in the clip. “Is she going to be able to send somebody home? Is this like, a guaranteed rose? Like, what is this thing?”
Lea admits to the cameras that “having the card is definitely driving me crazy.”
“Everyone’s been like, speculating and guessing what it could be,” she says in an on-camera interview. “I’m just like, anxious to open it and see what it is. I’m really nervous. I definitely think it could be a little bit of a target on my back.”
