And what might be the greatest sibling photo ever taken with his brother, Logan Arlis , and sister, Taylor Arlis. I can’t get enough of this picture. Already my favorite guy…

Kaitlyn liked him so much, she let him give her a piggyback ride once the date was over:
This was an email he sent out to co-workers telling them he’s resigning to go on the show. It was posted on the Twitter account of @kaylaa_nichols at the beginning of March, but has since been deleted. Woops Kaylaa. Be a little more careful next time.

12. Josh Seiter: 27, Chicago, Ill. Graduated the University of Illinois in 2009 with a B.A. in Sociology. Then went on to study law at the Chicago-Kent College of Law. He may look familiar to you if you like really trashy reality TV. He appeared on the E! show “Escape Club” that aired in 2013 where a bunch of singles were cast to potentially win a year long, fully paid for vacation. However, he went under the name Andrew Dean and he’s a male stripper that stripped his way through law school. When he was on that show, TMZ reported he was once on a website for male gigolo’s. Quality contestant. He shot his intro video at the male revue he currently works at in Chicago. Plenty of stuff to Google about him if you want to see his previous “work.”

Tony even took it step further than some of the other guys who take pictures right before taking off and flying out for the show. He took a picture of him and the car service that picked him up once he got to LA…
And then once he got in the car, he took this video: https://instagram.com/p/0B0ZOtRPv5/?taken-by=101freefly
Pretty confident guy saying he’d see everyone in 9 weeks in his comment on that video.
