Tanner Tolbert Slams Bachelor Franchise’s “Train Wreck” Hosting Decisions

Television

The auto finance manager, who got engaged to now-wife Jade Roper during Bachelor in Paradise‘s second season that aired in 2015, made it clear he didn’t intend this as a commentary on Chris’ exit, or as personal criticism of Kaitlyn, Tayshia or any of the celebs. According to Tanner, the show should be more focused on the relationships with the participants, rather than “pre-planned, contrived BS.” 

He continued, “I don’t tune in to watch David Spade hand out date cards. He was great in Tommy Boy, don’t get me wrong. But I want to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise for the drama and for the relationships, and see that unfold on the screen.”

Tanner also clarified that the show still holds a special place in his heart, given that he met Jade on it, and that they now share three children together. He also said that Kaitlyn and Tayshia “brought great energy and have great hosting abilities.”
