He told Canadian newspaper Windsor Star, “There’s so many embarrassing things each show that happen. I wish I was just doing a live feed while I watched it and just talk to the camera because everything about it makes me laugh.”

He also adds, “I watch five seconds and I’m drawn in. I would watch it more because of the drama and the craziness but I just don’t have time. Period. I like watching it because I can’t believe how easy it is for these girls to fall for this guy. I’ve never met a group of chicks that is falling so hard in 15 seconds.”

David Spade will not be the only host of Bachelor in Paradise this season. Apparently there will be several guest hosts, but the rest are unknown. Be sure to tune in August 16 at 8p.m. EST for all of the drama this season!
