Blake Horstmann Shares Sage Advice For Next Bachelor Lead

As a contestant on both The Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise, Blake knows a thing or two about the show. Another of his followers asked Blake for advice for future Bachelor Nation contestants. 

Blake’s first piece of advice was for the contestant to be themselves. “The producers and audience can read through fake,” he cautioned. He also advised AGAINST spending a lot of money on clothing for the show. 

Fittingly, Blake recommends contestants and leads “delete all social media.” In recent seasons, contestants on the show have come under fire for things they’ve posted on social media before joining the show. Rachael Kirkconnell recently spoke out about the scandal she was embroiled in after photos surfaced of her attending an antebellum ball-themed party. 

Several of Katie Thurston’s Bachelorette suitors issued apologies after their problematic social media posts were unearthed. 

However, Blake also encourages contestants to “keep all text receipts.” That may be a reference to him sharing text exchanges with BIP’s Caelynn Miller-Keyes. Nick Viall recently compared Blake, whom Nick called a “f**kboy” to Season 7’s Brendan Morais. 

Blake and Caelynn hooked up prior to appearing on Season 6 of Bachelor In Paradise. After getting backlash for having existing relationships with several Season 6 ladies, Blake released the texts to prove his side of the story. 

With the ongoing drama with Becca Kufrin, Blake’s followers wondered about his relationship status. Blake revealed that he is single at the moment.
