The Bachelor 18 Spoilers/Speculation - Media - Discussion

Debra Yeo: Good, I think Toronto likes you too.  Well the question I want to ask is one that I would imagine a lot of the women who watched you on "The Bachelorette" are wondering, I mean, you're a good looking guy, you're fit, you're funny, you know, you obviously want to have kids and so forth, so why are you still single?

Juan Pablo: Why not?  Because of that, you know, there's always - you can meet a person - a great girl, you know, and then all of a sudden she doesn't want to get married.  So there's one thing.  Maybe you meet a girl that she doesn't understand that you have a daughter, so there's another reason. Or maybe you have a girlfriend and she likes your daughter a lot, but inside of her there's something that tells her that she's not going to give you - she's not going to give me my first son, so there's another issue.

Amanda Sy: What do you have to say to critics who say - who have something to say about you leaving your daughter to film a reality show not once but twice?

Juan Pablo: Do what?   Leaving my daughter for what?

Amanda Sy: To film a reality show.

Juan Pablo: Be on a reality show?

Amanda Sy: Yes.  

Juan Pablo: OK, I haven't read that, but if they tell me, oh, you leave your daughter - well, my daughter has a mom too.  And her mom takes care of her anyways when I'm away.  And I travel a lot.  So, it's not that I'm leaving her to do a reality show; I'm, you know, leaving her - couple of times to be - and maybe finding somebody that I can be happy and have a family and then she will have brothers and sisters.

So, I don't think that if somebody says that, you know, maybe they don't have families and they don't know what that means, you know.  So - but I don't - I don't care about those kinds of critics.  I'm glad that I haven't read them.  

Amanda Sy: That's an excellent answer.  Thank you.

Naibe Reynoso: OK.  Cool.  And what reaction have you been receiving on your social media regarding that, because I know in the past there's been criticism on the show for not having more Latino involved either as bachelors or bachelorettes so what have you - what kind of feedback have you been receiving from the Latino community?

Juan Pablo: No, we're just happy.  People are just happy.  And it just - it's not that I'm a Latino, I'm not - because also I'm Spanish, you know.  Another fact that you a Latino or not, it's just, you know, it's not easy to find somebody for the show, and also in "The Bachelorette" or "The Bachelor" to find people from different cultures.  They don't understand this show; they don't want to be in this show.  So it's not easy and definitely their reaction has been great and I'm happy.  It's going to be great.  

Beth Kwiatkowski: Moving to Miami was a deal breaker for you or if you were actually open to moving to wherever your girl might be if you select her?

Juan Pablo: No - no, on the moving part I don't like Miami.  I don't know where, you know, how they say that that I want to move, you know, I don't like Miami that much.  I don't like the weather.  So and I travel a lot, that's why to me base is Miami but I travel a lot.  But definitely I want somebody very independent, career wise.  I respect a lot what a person does for a living.  And I want to have kids right away, but if I'm with somebody and she's like, listen, I have my career and this and that, I understand it.  

There's no like no, no I want kids right now.  No, no.  I respect that a lot because I love people when they respect what I do for a living.  You know, if somebody's an architect and she (has work) to buy for two weeks and she has - her career is getting bigger and bigger, I will respect that 100 percent whenever we're ready, we'll be ready to have kids.

And Miami, who would ever, you know?  Obviously I'll have to find somewhere that I can be - that is easier for me to do what I do for a living and maybe for that person, what she does for a living too.  So, you know, there's got to be a conversation and a couple's, you know, decision at the end of the day.

Soon the lead and the 25 will be bots and blow ups. Dialogue will be recordings, the plot line flat lined and the ratings tanked.
