The Future of Jason Tartick in Bachelor Nation

Jason Tartick's Thoughts on Becoming the Bachelor

In a recent episode of his 'Trading Secrets' podcast, Jason Tartick opened up about the possibility of becoming the next Bachelor. When asked about the prospect, Tartick expressed mixed feelings, stating that he believes he may be 'too old' for the role at 35 years old. While he appreciates the consideration from fans, he doesn't anticipate the franchise 'coming to his door' with an offer. However, he did not rule out the idea completely, adding that he would consider it if the opportunity arose.

Tartick also hinted at another possible reason for not pursuing a role in Bachelor Nation. He suggested that the show's loyalty to his ex-fiancee, Kaitlyn Bristowe, might impact his chances. Bristowe, who has been deeply involved in the franchise for nearly a decade, could potentially influence the producers' decisions regarding Tartick's involvement. Despite the uncertainty, Tartick remains open to the possibility of joining the reality TV world once again.

Age and History of Bachelors in the Franchise

Tartick's concerns about his age in relation to the Bachelor role reflect an interesting aspect of the franchise's casting choices. While he believes 35 may be considered 'kind of old' for the role, historical data shows that the age of leading men on the show has varied significantly. From Gerry Turner, who led The Golden Bachelor at 72, to Nick Viall and Arie Luyendyk Jr., who were in their mid-30s during their respective seasons, the age range of Bachelors has been diverse.

Additionally, Kaitlyn Bristowe's extensive involvement in Bachelor Nation further complicates Tartick's potential future in the franchise. Bristowe's journey from contestant to leading lady, cohost, and guest appearances across multiple Bachelor shows has solidified her position within the reality TV world. This raises questions about how Tartick's relationship with Bristowe could impact his opportunities within the franchise.

Future Ventures and Unscripted Shows

Despite the uncertainties surrounding his Bachelor prospects, Tartick hinted at the possibility of appearing on other unscripted shows in the near future. He mentioned that several shows have approached him, and although he emphasized that money wouldn't be a determining factor, he expressed interest in the potential exposure and following that comes with reality TV.

Looking ahead, Tartick teased that there's a '55 percent' chance of seeing him on some form of unscripted television this year, suggesting that 2024 is a 'year of impulse' for him. With a positive outlook on future TV appearances, Tartick seems open to exploring new opportunities beyond Bachelor Nation.
