“[The show] changed my life so much," Ali tells Parade in an exclusive interview. "I feel like I was getting to a place where I was unhealthy. I wasn’t taking care of my body in maybe the way I wanted to be. And when I got the offer to be on the show, I started training immediately and it made me fall in love with health and fitness."

Because Ali had to keep her casting on the show a secret for months, she admits her friends were curious about her body changes and what prompted them.
“It was hard because people were like, ‘What are you doing? Tell me your secret,’" she says. "And I was like. ‘You don’t understand.’ The average person can’t dedicate eight hours a day to their health-and-wellness routine. But it was my job at that time. My job was the show and therefore my job two months leading up to it was preparing for it. It was so hard that I couldn’t announce the show [before] because I couldn’t tell people why my body was changing … I’m glad I can finally share.”
Fans first embraced Ali, now 40, almost 15 years ago when she was one of the contestants on Jake Pavelka’s 2010 The Bachelor season. After self-eliminating to return to her job at Facebook, Ali was chosen as ABC’s Season 6 Bachelorette that same year.
Ali FedotowskyThe beautiful blonde with the gift of gab went on to be a morning show correspondent at the Fox news station in San Diego, Calif., and later worked for E! News and Home and Family. In 2017, she married radio and TV host Kevin Manno, with whom she's raising daughter Molly, 8, and son Riley, 6, in Nashville.
“This show is very different” from The Bachelorette, Ali tells Parade. "I went from wearing ball gowns to being covered in manure and no makeup. I think on The Bachelorette you’re there to find the love of your life. Special Forces is similar in the sense that you’re there to find the love within yourself. I wanted to see what I was made of."
