The Bachelorette premiere: Ranking the top 5 memorable episode moments
2. Joe is all box all the time
Did you know that Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration was competing this season on The Bachelorette? We’re just kidding. . . mostly.
When we first met Joe Barsano, it was impossible not to know all about what he does for a living. He literally introduced himself as “The Box King” (hence all our Vance Refrigeration jokes from The Office). He’s got a box for everything!
Later, when he first arrived at the mansion, Joe introduced himself to Hannah by literally hiding in a giant box. That’s right: even his gimmick had to do with what he does for work. It’s impossible to forget this dude’s job title. It definitely felt like Joe was taking his intro as an opportunity to get some free publicity.
All that being said, Joe came out of the premiere as a total fan favorite. He was brutally cut after night one and perhaps this early goodbye helped to solidify his status as the lovable Box King who everyone would miss. Was he using The Bachelorette as a means to get some free publicity? Maybe so. But hey, if Hannah isn’t going to keep him around at least he got a little something out of his time on the show.
