Her ability to dismiss any and all opponents with cold insults is part of what makes the show so entertaining. When Headey appeared on _Jimmy Kimmel Live_ Monday night, he put her iconic delivery to the test by having Headey read insults from TV’s other biggest show about politics and sexuality: _The Bachelor_. Goblet of wine in hand – come on, it’s _Game of Thrones_ meets _The Bachelor_ after all – Headey made lines like, “I’m gonna punch her in the face, like seriously,” and, “I think her boobs are fake, but it’s okay, like you can tell they’re fake,” seem like they were written by George R. R. Martin himself.
