ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How would you describe Joan’s approach to being Golden Bachelorette so far?
JESSE PALMER:I’ve been really impressed with Joan.

She has an amazing group of guys.
I was amazed throughout her whole season because her energy was just incredible.
When you were filming, how often did you cry every day?

[Laughs] It was a lot.
I was almost crying night onewhen Joan had that idea to show everybody videos of their loved ones.
That first night I also got to speak with Gary and Keith and Mark.

It’s an emotional rollercoaster for people watching at home, as well as for the host watching backstage.

The internet is particularly obsessed with Charles L, who is such a treasure.
Is the show prepared to call out the National Guard to handle the rioting if he gets sent home?
I mean, I’ll be in the picket line too.
I’ll be front and center.
That guy is so great.
Speaking of the next episode, we saw in the promo that there’s a raucous kickball game.
Give us a sneak preview and hey tell me no one was taken away in an ambulance!
It was so competitive.
I wasn’t sure how that was going to go and how hard the guys could really play.
Let’s just keep everybody safe."
Joan couldn’t believe it.
The guys were amazing.
Have you hired Kim to fix anything in your house?
So funny you say that.
The very first night I had no idea what the group of men were going to be like.
I totally thought they were all going to be like Kim.
I would absolutely have Kim on call.
Kim’s like a man’s man.
I believe Kim knows how to fix everything.
He’s a real leader of men.
I’m a former quarterback.
I consider myself a leader of men.
I’m nowhere close to Kim.

I’m wearing a sweater right now!
This isa quarter-zip sweater with the New York Giants logo, my old team.
That’s the thing about J. Palmer.
It’s not just workout shirts, workout shorts, and tailored joggers.
It’s essentials like sweaters and dress shirts.
Are you sure that’s a sweater?
I would call that a sweatshirt.
This is a sweater!
We also have blazers, too.
But you’ve piqued my interest.
We’re going to have to get a big chunky cable knit and make it part of the collection.
That’s a brilliant idea.
Well, it kind of depends on who’s going.
I think we need to keep it international.
I’m in favor of an open kitchen.
If Jack is going to be there, he should be given free range to cook.
If Susan’s going to be there, we’ve got to let her cook.
From a food standpoint, I think it would just be great.
By the way, I am absolutely all for that idea.
And I believe in manifesting.
I’m with you: Notif,but when.
