Summary
Chris gives insight to how The Bachelor was first perceived by others in the television industry, how the Bachelorette came to be, how firing his agent landed him at Endeavor and got better terms in his contract, the balancing act of negotiations between different networks, when his life financially changed, and what misconceptions are behind hosting the Bachelor. Chris also reveals how he didn’t travel when the show started, where all the rose ceremonies used to take place, how he feels about The Bachelor currently and his time on the show, the importance of taking time to mourn and heal, why he thinks the emotional journey of the Bachelor prepared previous contestants for other reality competitions, and how his podcast came to be. Was he able to monetize outside of the show? Has hosting come across his desk since leaving The Bachelor? What reality shows has he been asked to be on?
Chris reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
