While the Bristowe vs. Fleiss feud was happening, the producer attempted to deflect from his sexist treatment of the women on his shows by bringing up that one former Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft. (Whom he only refers to as Melissa R. because remembering women's full names is, like, hard.) Not only has Rycrof been on DWTS, but she also won (which is what the "mirror ball" refers to). Which is great, but also further proves Bristowe's point that there is a lot of potential for the females of Bachelor Nation to have a positive and lucrative experience on the ABC network series.
