'Talking It Out': Joe Amabile Opens Up About Potential 'Paradise' Plans and Bachelor Nation Crushes
“Click Bait’s” Joe Amabile stopped by “Talking It Out” to join co-hosts Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo for a special Bachelor Nation podcast crossover episode.
During his chat with Mike and Bryan, Joe shared his thoughts on joining another season of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
“It worked the first time. It’s not like something I’m shooting for, but if I went on, if they asked me and I went on and it happened, yeah, I would be open to it,” the charismatic grocer said of a potential return to reality TV.
After a short-lived stint on Becca Kufrin’s Season 14 of “The Bachelorette” in 2018, Joe appeared on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise” — where he found love with Kendall Long, though they ultimately called it quits in 2020 — and later competed on Season 27 of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Asked about current crushes within the franchise, Joe told Mike and Bryan that he has his eye on “several” women — including “Bachelor” Season 24 star Victoria Fuller.
“I would say there’s a handful of women that I would be interested in meeting from the past couple seasons. I like Victoria. She’s gorgeous. She’s got a good personality,” he said. “I don’t know. There are so many girls in Bachelor Nation that are attractive. I have to meet them in person. I have to get that feel in person.”
While he wouldn’t say her name, Joe later confessed that he finds one contestant from Matt James’ current season of “The Bachelor” particularly enthralling. “There’s somebody on Matt’s season that I find very interesting,” he said before divulging any further. “I don’t wanna say it.”
