‘Bachelorette’ Alum Jason Tartick Shades Colton Underwood: He’s ‘Very Calculated’

hollywoodlife.com:

Jason Tartick is speaking out about his strong opinions of Colton Underwood. The Bachelorette star, 33, called the fellow reality hunk “very calculated” and made some allegations of what it was like with him when they both interviewed to be The Bachelor lead, during the most recent episode of his podcast, Trading Secrets.

Jason claimed Colton told the producers of the show that they should pick him if they wanted “good TV ratings.” Jason went on to explain that although he knows he wouldn’t have gotten better ratings than Colton, 30, who ended up being picked as the season 23 “Bachelor,” he didn’t get picked because he “wouldn’t have been manipulated” during his time on the series. “I’m just not in the business of getting manipulated to create drama … one of the big reasons is because I’m boring.

I’m vanilla,” Jason said during his podcast episode. “They know I wouldn’t have been manipulated, I wouldn’t have done crazy s*it.

He was exactly right. He nailed it.” Related Gallery Before they tried out for The Bachelor, Jason and Colton both competed for Becca Kufrin‘s love during the 14th season of The Bachelorette in 2018.
