Connor Saeli Dishes On The Bachelor Franchise & His Business Waterboy

Okay. I've got to talk to you about "The Bachelor" because –

Let's do it.

 – I want to pick your brain about it. I'm going to talk to a couple of "Bachelor" people. I'm trying to think. The last person I talked to was Abigail [Heringer] from Matt [James]' season, who's –

Oh yes, yes.

So I've watched every season for literally ever, all the way back to like, I think the first season I ever watched of "The Bachelor" was JoJo [Fletcher]'s season. So that was a while ago. But it seems in the last year, so much has happened, the whole Chris Harrison drama, Matt's season, just wild.

I know; it's been crazy. And I feel like there's been so many seasons too.

I know.

Well, I feel like last year were there four?

Well, there was just so much switch because it was Clare [Crawley] and then she quit halfway through and got engaged to Dale [Moss] and then they brought in Tayshia [Adams] and ... And then there was ... Oh gosh, there was Katie [Thurston] and then Michelle [Young]. There's been so –

And ... it was "Paradise" in between that too?

"Paradise" was in between that. Just crazy. So let's go all the way back. So Matt's season, the Chris Harrison drama, where do you fall on how all that went down?

Yes. So interestingly enough, there's a weird thing when you go on the show, maybe this is just me, but I almost find it traumatic to watch it.

I was going to ask, what's it like? Have you watch yourself on TV?

So I had to watch it alone sitting in my bed because I couldn't bear to watch it with anybody else. And so even now it's one of those things where I don't even like to watch it, I guess, even with other people. And if I do watch it, I just want to be alone.

Like secondhand embarrassment.

Yes. And my parents love it now. And so when I was home for Christmas, they were trying to watch it. And I think I just went to the other room.

Oh my God. No.

Yes. The Chris Harrison stuff, that's tough. I didn't follow it too closely because I ... So I didn't watch it basically after Peter [Weber]'s season. I think I watched one episode of Clare when her and Dale got engaged, which was fascinating. And then I just started watching this season. So I've seen the two episodes for this season. But besides here or there maybe a couple little snippets and stuff and obviously being in the whole "Bachelor" world, you'll see on Instagram different things that are happening. But I will say, I do think just from watching the last two episodes, I do think Jesse [Palmer's] a pretty good host. I feel like he has a good presence and everything.
