Dean's 'BiP' Promo Just Proves That He'd Be A Great 'Bachelor'

The Bachelorette is over and it's time for my favorite time of year — Bachelor In Paradise! And, in the new trailer shown at the end of The Bachelorette, apparently, Dean is in love with two women on Bachelor In Paradise, and this is great practice for The Bachelor, if you want my expert opinion on all things Bachelor. (Trust me — you do!)

In this very special promo for The Bachelorette, Dean was seen smooching Kristina of Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor, who is an absolute delight and probably too good for all this. But then the Ferguson twins, Emily and Haley, came in, and one of them (I honestly don't know who because they are identical and the preview didn't go so far as to identify them) was shown vying hard for Dean's affections. Like Ashley Iaconetti hard. Dean then cried and told everyone he loved two women. But which women are they, Dean? That whole crying thing looked familiar — it was just like the way a Bachelor cries when he can't choose between his final ladies. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Could Dean find love on Bachelor In Paradise? Sure! Stranger things have happened. But he's young (only 26) and he could also be aiming for a spot as the next Bachelor. I can't begrudge him that — he's certainly one of the most popular Bachelor Nation stars of late, so why not take that opportunity if he can? I will certainly watch Dean cry over many women (even including women who are not me), so if his stint on Bachelor In Paradise is just extra practice before he gets on The Bachelor, consider me in.
