The Bachelor alum Ariel Frenkel has revealed what she believes is "the ultimate revenge" on an ex-partner or lover.

Ariel, who finished in third place on Zach Shallcross' The Bachelor season, took to Tiktok earlier this week to share some advice with her followers.

"PSA: The ultimate revenge on an ex," Ariel captioned her. "Is it just me or is it the season of ghosts? #datingtok #exes #revenge."

In the video, Ariel addressed the camera directly and said, "For whoever needs to hear this, because I think I need to hear this right now myself -- the ultimate revenge on an ex is success."

Ariel, wearing a colorful floral shirt, continued, "Success can mean many different things to different people. Whatever that concept is for you, if you're working towards a goal, you won't get derailed by people that re-enter your life from your past."

The 28-year-old marketing executive and beautiful Jewish-Ukrainian beauty from New York pointed out how "this seems to be the season of ghosts," adding, "so the more yours come back -- just like mine have -- just remember [to] focus on you."

"Focus on what your metric is for success and you'll feel fine when you see them," she concluded.

After her The Bachelor elimination, Ariel appeared on "The Viall Files" podcast in April and revealed she was still single.

When asked if she's open to looking for love on the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico, Ariel told Season 21 The Bachelor star Nick Viall, "We'll see."

"It's the same thing with overnights, right? I don't say things and then go against it. So, I'm always open-minded, but I don't really know how I feel about going back into something like that," Ariel explained.

Ariel, who's had her heart broken more than once in the past and admittedly uses humor as a veil and layer of protection, went on to say, "I also feel like the beach would be very different than what I experienced."

Nick insisted Bachelor in Paradise is "a lot of fun" and she should go, but Ariel replied, "Really? I feel like it's not me. We'll see."

To clarify why the show wouldn't be for her, Ariel admitted, "First of all, I hate the heat. I don't do well in the heat. I'm sweating right now!"

Ariel laughed and said she was "totally kidding" before elaborating, "I don't know. I feel like I put myself out there so much in this past situation, I feel like it could be hard for me to go through that again."

Ariel said while she's "moved on" from her breakup with Zach, she felt like it was "kind of a one-off situation for me, potentially."

Ariel reasoned, "It really took me a long time to get back into my regular life and to process everything that had happened and rectify that situation."

"And so I think it would be hard for me to put myself out there in that setting," she said, "where everyone is kind of shifting around couples as well."

Nick told Ariel that many fans are hoping to see her on Paradise this Fall and it's "a very different experience" than The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, given it would be easier for Ariel to control her own experience with many people sharing the spotlight and being filmed at once.

"I didn't say, 'No.' I'm open," Ariel clarified.

"Okay, we'll see you there," Nick joked.

"Maybe," Ariel said.

"Bachelor Nation hopes to see you there," Nick pushed.

"It's a 'maybe' for me," Ariel repeated. "It's never a 'no' or a 'yes.'"

As far as starring on The Bachelorette goes, ABC has already selected Charity Lawson for Season 20.

When asked if she'd be interested in a starring role on a future season, Ariel firmly replied, "No."

"I said that really quickly, but I think it's too much pressure. And I think it's really hard to be in that setting," Ariel shared. "I don't know how I would personally be able to handle that."

Ariel shared, however, that she's ready for a serious relationship.

Ariel said she'd move anywhere for a partner and would have no problem uprooting her life because she's already done that "so many times."

Zach chose to eliminate Ariel in third place after Fantasy Suites, advancing Gabi Elnicki and Kaity Biggar.

The Bachelor star told Ariel -- his first of three Fantasy Suite dates in Thailand -- that he had set a no-sex rule for himself for the entire week, but he went back on his word and broke that rule with Gabi.

Zach ultimately disclosed to Kaity that he had sex with Gabi, but he didn't have a conversation with Ariel about it prior to her ouster.

"[Zach] actually mentioned that to [host Jesse Palmer] that he was going to tell me. So that makes him not a man of his word twice," Ariel complained on the podcast.

"And although he might have known he was sending me home -- I'm not going to speculate when that was or when he made that decision -- but regardless of me potentially going home and that relationship ending, it doesn't mean you don't show that relationship respect with honesty."

But when Zach told Kaity the truth, Gabi was left feeling "extremely violated" and "ashamed."

"Everyone kind of lost that week, particularly, honestly, Zach from the way he handled it... There are such better ways to handle it," Ariel noted.

At The Bachelor star's Final Rose Ceremony in Thailand, Zach broke Gabi's heart and got engaged to Kaity.

Zach and Kaity are still together now and plan to move in together in Austin this summer with their sights set on a 2025 wedding.
