We’ve seen a lot of people come and go on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and while fans tend to stay interested in former contestants’ love lives or the fun things they’re posting on social media, we don’t typically think about what it’s like for them to go back to their regular lives and jobs. Apparently it’s not always so easy after appearing on national TV, and Justin Glaze and Susie Evans opened up about their different — and frankly shocking — experiences with how the reality dating show impacted their careers in the real world.
Bachelor Nation first met Justin Glaze on Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette, where he was the runner-up, before appearing on Season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise. If you don’t recognize his name, you’ve likely seen his oh-so-memeable facial expressions. Susie Evans, meanwhile, received Clayton Echard’s final rose on The Bachelor Season 26. They didn’t get engaged on the show and ended up splitting within months of the finale. Glaze and Evans actually just went public with their own relationship after months of speculation, but business was the topic of a good portion of their chat on the Trading Secrets podcast recently.
