“What does he have to lose?” the promo reads. Assuming that’s a nod to his virginity?

We met the former NFL player (well, NFL practice squad-er), who has been open about remaining a virgin, on Becca Kufrin’s Season 14 of The Bachelorette, on which he finished fourth. He then continued his journey to find love on Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise but couldn’t make things work with on-again, off-again flame Tia Booth.

Underwood intrigued Bachelor Nation with his vulnerability. It’s an openness that fans complained wasn’t evident with last season’s bachelor Arie Luyendk Jr., who is now expecting a baby with fiancée Lauren Burnham.
