The ‘Chicks in the Office’ Reveal Who from Bachelor Nation Has Surprised Them Most
The “Chicks in the Office” are stopping by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast!
Podcast royalty Ria Ciuffo and Fran Mariano, aka the hosts of “Chicks in the Office,” are not only topping the podcast charts, they’re also big Bachelor Nation fans.
The two have been watching and recapping the show for years and have also interviewed countless Bachelor Nation stars.
So when they joined Michelle Young and Becca Kufrin for a candid chat on “Bachelor Happy Hour,” Becca had to ask who from Bachelor Nation has surprised them most after meeting them in person versus seeing them on-screen.

Fran started off, saying, “There have been some people who’ve come on our podcast who we did form opinions of based on the show and then those opinions changed after having a real conversation with them. I’d say Nick Viall surprised us most.”
Ria agreed, saying that Nick definitely surprised them most because “We loved to make fun of Nick. We just made fun of him constantly.”
But Fran said after meeting him, their opinions of him changed.
The podcast host said, “After watching him on all the Bachelor Nation shows, he came on our podcast a few times and we did his show. We realized that he is a good guy and having an actual conversation with people always changes things.”

Ria also chimed in, sharing another Bachelor Nation star who surprised them after meeting her.
“Not necessarily a lead, but a cast member that surprised us was Kit Keenan. People had some assumptions about her going into the show because she was so young,” Ria explained. “But she’s come on our show and we’ve seen her around New York and she’s always so complimentary of us and she’s so sweet and cool. I thought she was great after meeting her.”
Becca and Michelle agreed, saying people thought she was going to be immature, but they also both know Kit and said she’s mature well beyond her years.

Michelle, who was on Matt James’ season of “The Bachelor” alongside Kit, even added, “If someone didn't tell you how young she was, you’d have no idea.”
And while Nick and Kit were two in particular who surprised Fran and Ria, the co-hosts added, “Every single time we meet a Bachelor Nation star, we think that person was great!”
