The star of season 27 talks to The Hollywood Reporter about his first-impression rose decision and the tips he got from uncle Patrick Warburton.
, Shallcross discussed how he felt about some less-flattering reactions to the news that he was the show’s lead, why Blitzer earned the coveted rose, whether it’s important to know his partners’ politics and how his uncle Patrick Warburton helped prepare him for TV scrutiny.
Definitely. Where do I start with that? It was already shocking that I learned that I was the Bachelor. It never really settled in. It took some time to be like, “Wow, like this is actually happening to me.” And then you do see the reactions from viewers and fans; there’s the supportive ones, and then there’s the not-so-supportive ones. That was definitely a tough thing to get used to. But it is crazy to me because I just lived this experience and am very happy.
That’s a great question. All of that does really play an important role to a healthy relationship, and having the chance to be on the same plane with it is important. Does it ever need to be the same? No. But having that open communication is so important, and what fans saw with last season was, there wasn’t any real communication. It spirals into this really important night, and it’s not like anything you could have expected, and it was a shock.
To be completely honest with you, you just get swept up in it. It’s this overwhelming night, and it’s so exciting. You often are asking yourself like, “Wow, I’m really in this position?” I’m meeting 30 actually incredible women, and I didn’t have a game plan or anything of how the night would really go. My biggest concern was, I just wanted to speak and meet with as many women as possible.
