Emily Wolfe
I want to hate him and his dumb rapping, but it’s kind of endearing? Like, it’s something I would roll my eyes at, but be swooning deep down.
Brandon Peña
I agree, it's cheesy! But I also think he is someone who is genuine.
Emily Wolfe
I don’t know what he was saying, I could only look at his outfit. A navy suit with high-water pants, white Ked sneaker knockoffs and no socks. NO SOCKS. Did I mention he wasn’t wearing socks?
Brandon Peña
Yeah, you made that part very clear! Personality wise, I think he will be one that sort of just exists quietly in the background.
Emily Wolfe
He’s a creep and that tie is the WORST. Thank u, next.
Brandon Peña
Brandon Peña
I don’t mind the tie, but the virginity jokes are so last season. Literally. Stop making them.
Brandon Peña
When I saw the video package of him I went from not liking him to liking him to seriously not liking him. Then when he met Hannah it was just awkward. He will be one of the “stars” of the season, but not necessarily a beloved one.
Emily Wolfe
This guy looks like the definition of a mansplainer.
Emily Wolfe
The creepy, discount version of the greatest Bachelor/ Bachelorette contestant, Nick Viall. Although, I rather have Nick Viall. At least he doesn’t gives me the creeps...anymore. Somehow, still the better Luke.
Brandon Peña
He is the better Luke this season. Again, not seeing it going far with Hannah. However, I do think he will be a genuine person aka one of the good guys.
Emily Wolfe
The upside? He looks like Freddie Prinze Jr. The downside? He isn’t.
Brandon Peña
He’s adorkable, which is cute for a few minutes. Then it starts to become more annoying.
Emily Wolfe
WORST INTRO EVER. HOT DOGS?
Brandon Peña
Brandon Peña
His “sausage fest” joke was immature. Sometimes guys come on this show and immediately it’s clear why they are single. Smh 🤦🏽♂️
Brandon Peña
To quote Hannah herself, “Aww I liked him.” He seems like a nice guy with corny golf jokes. Hopefully the jokes don’t become this thing.
Emily Wolfe
After I heard he was from Alabama and a golfer, I wanted to hate him. However, he seemed pretty sweet, so IDK.
Emily Wolfe
Just no. Skates over 12 is only for Sonic hops.
Brandon Peña
Your commentary is on fire tonight 🔥
Brandon Peña
I find him creepy. He’s trying to be endearing, but at the same time makes too many “package” jokes. Just be yourself and if this is it…then tone it down at least.
Emily Wolfe
I get the joke, but I don’t get him. Box King Joe is not near as great as Grocery Store Joe from Becca’s season.
Brandon Peña
It looks like he had pineapple slices on the pizza he gave her. Immediately not interested. #AntiPineapplePizza
Brandon Peña
But in all seriousness, I don’t see him going far. He seems like a sweet guy though.
Emily Wolfe
He’s the crier. I’m calling it.
Emily Wolfe
He looks like he sympathizes with “Game of Thrones” Ramsey Bolton.
Brandon Peña
Noooo! Don’t compare a perfectly decent guy with that horrible fictional character. I have high hopes for Tyler G. Of the Tylers he’s my favorite so far.
Emily Wolfe
A solid dude. Looks like he knows how to have fun without being obnoxious. Part jock, part dorky, part dancer. I’m in.
Brandon Peña
Nope. Not interested. He comes across as being overly confident. Without a doubt he will be one of the ones to stir the pot.
Emily Wolfe
BACHELOR IN PARADISE BABY! Also, he should have painted the tractor in John Deere Green.
Brandon Peña
His intro was one of the more elaborate ones, but I’m not mad about it. He turned his childhood nickname into something memorable for this show. Nice work!
Emily Wolfe
He’s the smiler. There’s always one. He’ll leave in the third episode.
Brandon Peña
Idk about that. I think he might stick around…until the fourth episode. You know how those “to be continued” episodes go.
Emily Wolfe
Cute, but kind of boring. The paper airplane was sweet, but forgettable.
Brandon Peña
He seems nice enough and I also liked the paper airplane.
Brandon Peña
He’s the winner. I’m calling it now. If not, he should be the next Bachelor. That is all.
Emily Wolfe
AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. I AM SWOONING. I AM DONE. HE WINS. <3.
Brandon Peña
Again, he is someone just here for the exposure. He will without a doubt be a “villain” this season. I do like his hair though.
Emily Wolfe
He is amazing. Like, not to date, but to watch. Strong Demi-vibes. Cannot wait for BiP. Also, he looks like he should be on “Veronica Mars” or “The O.C.”
Emily Wolfe
He’s like a textbook version of a good boyfriend. I cannot wait for America to fall in love with him, just for him to be dumped by Hannah.
Brandon Peña
That’s harsh! He could be the one for her! If not, I think he could be a strong contender for the next Bachelor.
Emily Wolfe
Very sweet, very fun, and very much going to be friendzoned.
Brandon Peña
I agree, he seems sweet and the type you would want to give the final rose to. However, I think he and Hannah won’t be a solid match.
Brandon Peña
Is it just me or does Tyler C. And Connor S. look like brothers? Not a fan of the gimmick fence jumping, but we’ll see how this season goes for him.
Emily Wolfe
Super adorkable and precious. I really hope he is around longer.
Brandon Peña
For me, the singers/models/actors who come on reality tv are only looking for one thing. Exposure. I don’t see this one being any different sadly.
Emily Wolfe
Very cute, but really not as good as a singer as he think he is.
Brandon Peña
His whole exchange with Hannah was cringe worthy. But also, this is the part about reality TV that comes across as being too scripted. However, I LOVED her not putting up with anything attitude 👏🏽
Emily Wolfe
ES, DEMI (and also Katie) FOR GETTING HIM. A TOTAL CREEPER AND GROSS DUDE.
Emily Wolfe
I really don’t remember this one. I feel like he’s going to disappear and show up in the sixth episode and I’m going to be very confused. He’s this season’s Kirpa.
Brandon Peña
I agree. With 30 guys, there is bound to be some who fly under the radar. Just don’t fly too low you fall off it altogether.
Brandon Peña
He seems fun and not in an over the top way. He gives me Jordan Rodgers vibes.
Emily Wolfe
He’s got a villain haircut, but no way is he the villain. I think he’s BiP bound and he’s giving me strong Evan Bass vibes.
Emily Wolfe
I can’t make a true comment about him because he looks like a replacement groomsman.
Brandon Peña
Honestly, I like him. Do I think he will get the final rose? No. But, I do think he has potential to go far. What’s the saying? Always the groomsman, but never the groom?
Brandon Peña
Cute guy who seems pretty wholesome. For sure a Bachelor In Paradise candidate aka not getting the final rose, but still beloved by Bachelor Nation.
Emily Wolfe
Mr. Vanilla. Good guy, but very bland.
Emily Wolfe
If you’ve seen “Glee,” you’ll understand what I mean by calling him a Lima Loser. If you haven’t, stop everything and watch that show.
Brandon Peña
His eyes though 💎 I think that he has that boy next door charm, which is great.
Emily Wolfe
He looks like he should be in a soap opera, but he doesn’t have any talent.
Brandon Peña
“The Handsome and The Talentless”? Just kidding. But I think he will be someone who doesn’t make it to the end. Yet, he will still get a spot in Bachelor In Paradise so there’s that to look forward to! #GlassHalfFull
Brandon Peña
Of the “jock” types, he seems the most likable.
He seemed really sweet and he obviously had a good personality just by looking at his night one outfit. I really wished we had seen more of him to be completely honest.
