It's always a bummer when a nice, funny guy is eliminated on The Bachelorette [1] — especially when it's on the first night. Bachelor Nation was not happy [2] when Becca Kufrin [3] sent home Joe Amabile [4], the adorable grocer from Chicago. But there's some good news! We have reason to believe that Grocery Store Joe, as Chris Harrison deemed him [5], is still single, and that makes us happy (for our sake).
The host with the most gave us hope that we may see Joe headed to Bachelor in Paradise [6] season five, which typically premieres in early August.
#BachelorNation [7] quickly falls in love with #GroceryStoreJoe [8]

In back-to-back tweets, Chris said, "#BachelorNation quickly falls in love with #GroceryStoreJoe" and "I hope they have grocery stores in Paradise!!!" He also tweeted back at a fan saying that he "can't confirm or deny" that Joe will be headed Paradise . . . hmm . . .
Although we only got to know Joe for a couple of hours, we can tell he's a total sweetheart. The 31-year-old is close with his mom, has a cute Chicago accent, and drinks Starbucks [11] — what more could you want?! Plus, his future wife is guaranteed a seemingly endless supply of watermelon, which is not a perk to be overlooked here.
