“It’s not that great. I mean snooze fest,” McCarthy, 45, told Us Weekly on the Grammys red carpet in NYC on January 28. “I’m glad they don’t have someone shredded taking a shower, I’m glad he’s got a dad bod, but I don’t know…i’m just not feeling it.”

Of the women vying for the race car driver’s love, there is a taxidermy collector, a villain with a sultry voice and a 22-year-old nanny. However, according to McCarthy, something is missing.

“We need some good criers,” the TV personality told Us. “I’m missing some emotionally disturbed ones.”

McCarthy may have to put her tissue boxes on standby since Arie isn’t here for the drama, but he is here to find his future bride.

An insider recently told Us, “One of Arie’s biggest concerns is investing in a woman and then having her break his heart at the end. So he has to think about how age plays into his relationships. In the end, he wants to make sure whoever he chooses is ready for marriage.”

The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
