We already miss Matt Donald and Joe Barsano! If you need more of these two contestants, here’s the breakdown of where you can catch them next.
GONE TOO SOON! Bachelor Nation wept as we watched Hannah Brown send home two early fan favorites, Matt Donald and Joe Barsano, on night one of The Bachelorette season 15.
The cuts had come seemingly out of nowhere. Both men had been given intro videos and we were led to believe that they would likely be frontrunners on the season. They also both had memorable mansion entrances, with Joe popping out of a package in trademark Box King fashion and Matt pulling up in a tractor to honor his hokey high school nickname.
It was easy to love these boys. Joe Barsano was full of self-promotion, but seemed like a lovable goof with a fascinating obsession for boxes. Matt Donald was seemingly Hannah’s perfect match gone to waste, with a deep love for family and the Crimson Tide.
There’s nothing that we can do about their getting the ax now, unfortunately, but we can keep an eye on their futures. Here’s what we know about their futures right now:
Matt Donald
This hunky farm boy has already taken to Instagram to express his appreciation for the love of Bachelor Nation. Classy move!
It would appear that Matt is going to focus on reconnecting with old friends. In his video, he pointed out that his time on the series—however brief—helped to rekindle old relationships. Maybe a lady from his past will resurface and get to live the farm fantasy that Hannah Brown missed out on??
In the meantime, Matt Donald is still working as a medical device salesman in Los Gatos, California. If any of you ladies out there see him, SNATCH THIS SNACK UP.
Joe Barsano
Like his fellow scorned competitor Matt, Joe took to the old Instagram post-elimination. He posted a funny video where he pretended to be confused by a rose as he hadn’t been given one before. We stan a Box King with a good sense of humor.
Now that the roses have all been handed out, it looks like Joe is back to work at the job he loves. After his business got its fifteen seconds of fame on The Bachelorette, Joe wasted no time posting some promotional vids to Instagram. Hopefully the publicity helps him to thrive!
And some MAJOR NEWS HERE: it has just been confirmed that Joe will definitely be joining the cast of Bachelor in Paradise this summer! We are so ready to see him hit the beach and hopefully get that Grocery Store Joe treatment with an excellent lady.
What do you think, Bachelor Nation? Are you missing Matt Donald and Joe Barsano already? Let us know how you felt after that wild rose ceremony!
