(Yes, he’s still single!)

They said, “Would you be interested in going on a popular television dating show?”

But in this case, we did know.

Outside of that, she really does have like this aura about her.

People fell in love with you for your gentle spirit, your kindness, and your optimism.

But I’ll take it.

I think all of us collectively realized, you know what’s important?

And what’s not important are the things that you were stuck with in your house except your TV.

You couldn’t live without your TV, right?

I had COVID and I recovered from it.

My family was okay for the most part, and I was just so grateful.

I was just grateful, you know?

One of your most amazingBachelorettemoments was onthe wrestling date in episode 5.

I need to know everything about that moment.Is it just not in you to trash talk?

[Laughs] Not really, no.

We’re all just trying to do the best we can."

I didn’t have it, I don’t have that killer instinct anymore.

Also, Spencer in particular people were like s—ing on Spencer before [when he arrived].

I had breakfast with Spencer the dayafter the Splash Ball date.

And I was just like, “Hey Spencer, you’re a really misunderstood guy!

You’re a really nice guy!”

And, also, have you seen his eyes?

The first time I saw his eyes up close, I was like, “Woah.”

Your response?Um, I’ll be honest with you.

In third grade, I definitely stole a piece of candy from a convenience store one time.

I’m going to dry out that dirty laundry right here.

My mom did scold me, and I think I’m a changed man after that.

I did my time, I got grounded and I’m trying to live a pretty decent life thereafter.

No, but every guy on this show is a stud.

To a man, for the most part, they are really quality people.

I hope I’m in a committed relationship by then!

I appreciate it, don’t get me wrong.

But it’s like, jeeze, I’m not getting any younger.

And also, there are much better options out there.

In earnest, the first night, I was the third-shortest guy there!

Body-wise, I was the lightest of all the guys there.

IfBachelor in Paradisehappens this summer, would you go?I would say the same thing.

I think it’s something you have to evaluate when [the opportunity] happens.

It’s hard to say now.

As of now you’re still single?Um, very single.

Thanks for reminding me, Kristen.

It sayson your biothat your biggest turn-off is someone who litters.

You guys are vibing, your values are the same.

You like the same music, everything’s great.

Is that reconcilable to you, for someone you want to pursue a relationship with?"

It gives people pause.

And for me, I’m not sure if I could [stay in the relationship].

Like, what does that say about you?

All of it, environmentalism, being thoughtful there’s more to it than just littering.

What are you looking for in a woman?That’s a great question.

Kindness and gentleness is a quality [that’s lacking] in this drama-filled world.

Where you might just be still for a little bit.

And obviously, you have to be physically attracted to someone, that has to be there.

it’s possible for you to’t just dive into, like, “So, do you want kids?

Where do you want to live?”

You mentioned earlier that you had COVID.

It was a red zone and it was everywhere.

It was kind of the beginning stages.

We had PPE, thankfully, but people weren’t as fastidious with their PPE at that time.

And there were hundreds and hundreds of patients that we treated with COVID.

I think there are three candidates now.

We just have to hunker down a little bit more and just sacrifice the short-term for the long-term gain.

Everybody wants to get together, but sacrifice is love, too.

You should be proud that you are sacrificing for them and you’re willing to do that for them.

They had a one-on-one and it seems like they had a great time.

I think he’s definitely a top dog.

He’s just somebody who you want to be around.

He’s really funny, he has that off-the-cuff, subtle humor.

Ivan is a great, great dude.

Really smart, good heart.

Obviously a stud also I don’t know if you’veseen shirtless pictures of Ivan, but he’s shredded.

He has a great family, and he’s got great family values.

Both of those guys are as like nice and sweet in person as in the show.

Honestly, those two guys, I pulled for them.

Every time they got a rose at the rose ceremony, I smiled.

After every rose ceremony, I’d be like, “All right, my guys made it.”
