Natasha Parker chimes in adding, “Absolutely.”

She says that Joe served as “our Paradise guru, ’cause, you know, he had been there before.” Natasha also adds that she approached Joe multiple times for insight. She says, “So, I’m like Joe ‘Is this what happens?’ he goes ‘It wasn’t like this my season!'”

How Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 Is Different

Natasha comments that Joe “had this idea coming into it” of what Paradise would be like “and then it was just completely just different.” Joe also adds, “It was a lot different than my first time. It was wild.”

Tayshia Adams chimes in adding, “Well, obviously. I mean, Lil Jon was there!” Since Chris Harrison’s official departure from the Bachelor Franchise, celebrity guest hosts for Bachelor in Paradise have been announced. These include David Spade, Lil Jon, Tituss Burgess, and also Lance Bass.

Joe says, “In my opinion, Wells [Adams] should be the full-time host. He did a great job.” He then explains that, “Wells did the rose ceremonies as well as the bartending, and he was great.”

Joe also adds, “It was very important for me that he was there because I had somebody that, you know, has experience and I was able to go and talk to Wells a lot.”
