Tyler Cameron is giving his take on the future of the Bachelor franchise now that Chris Harrison was officially forced out. After making his debut on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette, Tyler became a fan favorite. Thanks to his whirlwind romance with supermodel Gigi Hadid, he found even more fame afterwards. Tyler also has an interesting perspective as the best friend of Matt James, whose controversial season led to the major overhaul.
Bachelor Nation appears pretty divided over the months-long saga. Some thought Chris should've stayed. A number of franchise alum commented well wishes on the longtime host's farewell Instagram. Rachel Lindsay, who conducted the interview that got Harrison into hot water, distanced herself from the franchise over the ordeal. Tyler, ultimately, is optimistic. He sees this as an opportunity to reinvigorate the show.
While doing a promotion with Smirnoff, Tyler spoke to E! News on the franchise that made him famous. "I think Chris Harrison is at peace with it," he told E!, adding, "I think they are all trying to do what's best for each other and best for the direction of the franchise. And I think Chris is in a good place. I think the franchise is in a good place. I think the new guest hosts will be fun to watch." Bachelor In Paradise has already announced a string of celebrity guest hosts for the upcoming season. Tyler also singled out a specific one of these celebs, with whom he has a funny history.
"I think it needs some life, it needs some new juice. David Spade, I'm excited to see him. He used to make fun of me." There's clearly no hard feelings, though, as Tyler later appeared on David Spade's show Lights Out."It's just gonna change up the whole dynamics of it," the model continued. "I think it needs some fresh faces and some new changes. We'll see. I'm excited to see where it goes."
On a sillier note, the 28-year-old also shared a dream guest host: his celebrity crush, Jennifer Aniston. "I would like to see Jennifer Aniston go in there and see what the guys would do," he explains. "The guys would ignore the girls all of the sudden, and just go talk to Jennifer Aniston. Does it become the Jennifer Aniston Bachelor episode?"
While he may crush on the star, Tyler is currently dating Camila Kendra. They have been spotted on double dates with Matt and Rachael Kirkconnell. Like Chris Harrison's exit, Matt and Rachael's reunion has inspired divisive responses. For his part, Tyler has made it clear he approves of Rachael.
