Summary

Bachelor Nation Fan Fav, the one, the only Mike Johnson steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Mike is here to talk about his infamous Season 15 of The Bachelorette and time on Bachelor in Paradise. Bachelor Nation rejoice. Mike shares the full trajectory of his journey, his thoughts on Bachelorette Hannah Brown, what it was like to get so close and not be chosen, Paradise, and fellow Bachelorette contestant and also “fan fav” Tyler Cameron. Mike and David also chat about how likely is it to really find love on national TV, Mike's own love life, and the effect the Bachelorette had on that very love life. Speaking of Mike’s love life, we went there and had to bring up his rumored “relationship” with Pop Star and Icon Miss Demi Lovato. We also discuss Mike’s other relationship, his Bromance with now roommate, current Bachelor Nation bro, Connor Saeli. Connor even makes a cameo on this very Podcast here today! We would love to be a fly on the wall in that apartment, but this is definitely the next best thing. Mike opens up on what it is like to almost have been the “First Black Bachelor” and the emotional mind F of almost being chosen, to not being chosen, to the fans reactions, to what ABC explained as their reason for not being chosen. Of course, we discuss the current season of The Bachelor and give a full report of how we think our current heartthrob Matt James is doing. We also chat with Mike about how he felt when Matt James was chosen, instead of him, as the “First Black Bachelor” and how it is about time! Speaking of the current season of the ABC powerhouse reality show that does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon, we discuss Matt James’ remaining three, Queen Victoria - is she for real or just looking for Instagram followers, and just who do we think will be asked to accept that fateful final rose. We also discuss the recent breakup, and now makeup (?), heard throughout Bachelor Nation of Dale Moss and Clare Crawley as well as Mike’s stellar Podcast “Talking It Out” with Bachelorette Winner Bryan Abasolo. @mike_johnson @talkingitoutbn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by HelloFresh https://www.HelloFresh.com/12velvet (Use code 12velvet for 12 FREE Meals, including free shipping) Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
