He clearly let himself be vulnerable this season by opening up and falling in love with Becca. This show is no fun for the viewer when you suspect someone's just in it for the limelight, "playing a role," or unable to loosen up. We've had that happen with so many other Bachelors in the past, and we'd like to steer clear of another season where that's the case.
In a recent interview with Glamour, he said he'd totally sign up for the lead role because of how much he believes in the process. "The experience is incredible. The producers, the relationships with the cast, the production, it exceeded everything I could have asked for, and because of that, I would be more than open if that opportunity presented itself," he said.
