How to explain no return offer (BB)?

I didn’t get a return at a BB - what’s the best way to explain it? Other interns got offers so clearly I didn’t do a good job (and I’ll learn from it) but how do I prevent being rejected for internships elsewhere?

Blame culture? What exactly would you say? Or blame the market?
