She continued to build her brand as a relatable and outspoken figure within Bachelor Nation, frequently appearing on podcasts and reunion specials where her unfiltered opinions and playful demeanor endeared her to fans. In 2021, Burnett returned to the franchise for season seven of Bachelor in Paradise, marking another chapter in her ongoing reality television journey and reuniting her with familiar faces from previous seasons.

Beyond her reality TV career, Burnett has leveraged her platform to advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance, often speaking candidly about her own experiences with self-image and mental health.
