Aaron Clancy and James Bonsall may not have found love on Bachelor in Paradise season 7, but they did leave the beach with an epic bromance and could be co-Bachelors one day. Aaron and James hit it off after meeting when both vying for Katie Thurston's love on The Bachelorette season 17. On Bachelor in Paradise, they spent most of their time on the beach working out together and building their friendship. Here is why some fans have suggested that Aaron and James as co-Bachelors would be an exciting twist in the franchise.
Aaron was introduced to fans on Katie's season as a 26-year-old insurance agent from San Diego. The 30-year-old software salesman James made quite the first impression on The Bachelorette season 17 premiere, spending most of the night in an oversized box. Fans eventually learned he was born in London and had moved around a lot before making California home. Both Aaron and James failed to win Katie's heart and were ultimately sent packing in week five of The Bachelorette.
Aaron and James got a second shot to find love on Bachelor in Paradise, but they seemed more into building their friendship than making connections with the women. Aaron was involved in several love triangles, and James hung out with several women on the beach, though it never got serious. The pair solidified their bromance after hilariously leaving the beach together. Some members of Bachelor Nation who are getting tired of the same format every year suggested co-Bachelors.
Aaron and James are not just best friends; they are also roommates. Seeing as they are both single, some fans thought the two would make for a fun season as co-Bachelors. They would be able to act as each other's wingman and the double dates would no doubt make for great TV. One Reddit user said "it would be a season full of chaos" while another compared the show to Pauly D and Vinny's dating show, Double Shot At Love. Another user added that it would be very funny when inevitably "James and Aaron will leave the season with each other, after bro-posing to each other."
Though Clayton Echard was confirmed as The Bachelor season 26, Bachelor Nation is rallying around Aaron and James for season 27. Some fans sounded off and rejected the idea of the two as co-Bachelors, saying "they wouldn't even pay attention to the women half the time." On Bachelor in Paradise season 7, Tia joked about Aaron and James' relationship, saying that if one of them left, the other would probably have self-eliminated. Chelsea added that she did not get to hang out with Aaron nearly as much as James did. While James and Aaron would be fun to watch together, there are several other contestants who are more deserving of being the lead of their season.
