The Rose and Carolina Drama: A Misstep in Bachelor World?

The latest season of The Bachelor has been nothing short of dramatic, and one moment that has left fans and alumni talking is the misunderstanding between Rose Sombke and Carolina Quixano. According to Joe Amabile, a veteran of Bachelor Nation, Rose made a critical error by sharing a private conversation with Carolina, a decision that ended up causing tension within the group. "The Rose/Carolina misunderstanding has been a little strange," Joe, 38, shared with Us Weekly. "They’re both likable. I feel for Rose in the situation because she’s so upset and I think she made a mistake. I just don’t know why she shared the information with Carolina." Joe, who has been through his fair share of Bachelor Nation drama, believes that Rose’s slip-up could have far-reaching consequences in the high-stakes environment of the show. "When you do that in Bachelor world, there’s just not a lot of time," he remarked.

At the heart of the issue was a private moment between Rose and Grant Ellis, where Grant allegedly told Rose that he was "thinking" of her during a group date. While Rose interpreted this as Grant having romantic feelings for her, others, including Carolina, were left confused and hurt by the revelation. Fans have been divided on the issue, with some defending Rose’s actions and others siding with Carolina. Joe, however, believes that regardless of what Grant actually said, Rose’s decision to share the information was misguided. "I don’t know if Grant actually said it or not — and I don’t think it really matters," Joe said. "I just don’t think she should have told Carolina, because that is where the problem is. In my opinion, even if Grant did say it, I think you would be better off keeping that information to yourself, because all that would do is potentially hurt your chances by letting someone else know."

Grant Ellis: A Bachelor Worth Rooting For

Despite the drama between Rose and Carolina, Joe has been quick to praise this season’s Bachelor, Grant Ellis. "Grant, so far, so good. I like Grant," Joe said. "I really like the way he’s handling all the tough conversations. I think he’s doing a really good job." Joe’s admiration for Grant is particularly notable given the tough spots the Bachelor has found himself in this season. From navigating complex relationships to addressing conflicts head-on, Grant has shown a level of maturity and emotional intelligence that has impressed both fans and alumni like Joe.

One of the most talked-about aspects of Grant’s journey so far has been his apparent connection with Juliana Pasquarosa and Litia Garr, who are widely considered the frontrunners for the final rose. "That’s what’s confusing, because right now it really seems like he knows what he wants," Joe said, referencing the tension-building teaser for the season. While the previews suggest that Grant will be torn on finale day, Joe believes that Grant’s ability to navigate these challenges with grace bodes well for his success as the Bachelor. "I think he’s doing a really good job," Joe reiterated, emphasizing his support for Grant’s approach to the show.

Following Your Heart in Love and Life

When it comes to matters of the heart, Joe is unapologetically a romantic. "I’m such a romantic. I believe you should actually trust your heart because if your heart’s not in it, then it’s not gonna work anyways — even if the logistics make sense," he said. This philosophy is something Joe knows firsthand, having found love with his now-wife, Serena Pitt, on Bachelor in Paradise. Despite the challenges they faced, including a 10-year age difference and living in different countries, Joe and Serena made it work by trusting their feelings for each other. "He definitely ‘trusted the good old heart,’" Joe said with a smile, reflecting on their journey.

For Joe, the idea of following your heart extends beyond just romantic relationships. It’s about making choices that align with your values and instincts, even when the path forward isn’t always clear. This mindset has served him well both on and off the show, and it’s a lesson he hopes others can apply to their own lives. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of love or making difficult decisions in the real world, Joe believes that trusting your heart is the key to true happiness.

Breaking the Taboo: Joe Amabile Partners with Eroxon

In addition to weighing in on the latest Bachelor drama, Joe has been making headlines for his new partnership with Eroxon, a brand that specializes in treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Joe, who has long been an advocate for open and honest conversations about men’s health, sees this collaboration as an opportunity to raise awareness about an issue that many men struggle with in silence. "I just think it’s great to have these conversations. I feel like talking about ED has been so taboo for so long. I feel like guys don’t love having the conversation," he said. By partnering with Eroxon, Joe hopes to help normalize discussions around men’s health and encourage more men to seek the help they need.

One of the key products Joe is promoting is Eroxon’s gel treatment for ED, which is designed to provide a discreet and effective solution for men who struggle with the condition. In addition to the gel, the brand has also launched an AI ChatBot named Ed, which offers men a confidential way to learn more about ED and access resources. Joe was particularly drawn to the brand because of its commitment to education and innovation. "I was really interested in finding out that one in four men over 18 suffer from it," he said. "I personally don’t, but I am getting older. So I just think the more knowledge, the better."

Joe’s willingness to speak candidly about ED is a testament to his belief in the importance of breaking down stigmas surrounding men’s health. He even joked that he would recommend Eroxon’s products to his friends in the Bachelor franchise, saying, "Listen, I have no problem doing it. Let’s go. I’ll have that conversation." By using his platform to bring attention to this issue, Joe is helping to pave the way for more open and honest discussions about men’s health.
