A few Bachelor Nation alums are sharing their advice for Taylor Frankie Paul ahead of The Bachelorette season 22.
“Oh, she’s gonna do great,” The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise alum Tayshia Adams told Us Weekly exclusively at HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Makeover event on Thursday, March 12. “I mean, she has it in the bag.”
Adams, 35, pointed out that “this is not a new world” for Paul, 31, who rose to fame on Hulu’s reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
“She’s, like, very used to being in the camera and being herself, which I think is gonna be the biggest one-up that she has in comparison to, honestly, all of us,” Adams continued. “So I think she’s gonna be a great watch.”

Meanwhile, The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron’s advice to Paul was to “end up with one guy at the end” of the show.
“You know, I think picking one guy is always a good choice,” Cameron, 33, added. “I think she’s going to rock it, and she’s going to break so many barriers for the Bachelor Nation. And I’m just excited to see her just crush this and just bring what Taylor Frankie Paul does, just crazy fun energy.”
As for The Bachelorette and The Bachelor alum Joey Graziadei, he doesn’t think Paul needs any advice.
“I’m gonna be honest. She is her own person. Everyone knows that,” Graziadei, 30, explained. “I think she’s gonna do an amazing job. We’re excited to watch it.”
The reality TV personality continued, “We just have always given her as much support as we can from afar. We’ve known her before. She went through the experience, and I think she’s gonna do amazing and just be herself authentically, which is all anyone wants to see.”
Graziadei’s fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, agreed.
“I feel like she’s just iconic as who she is,” The Bachelor season 28 winner said. “So, I would say, keep going through it, take it step by step. I feel like watching it back is always crazy. So, yeah, I mean, I’m there for her anytime she needs.”
The Bachelorette season 22, premiering on March 22, will see 22 single men vie for Paul’s heart. The TikToker previously told Us why she wanted to join the show, revealing that she doesn’t “care” if people question her motivations.

“I didn’t have to do this,” Paul explained. “There was no other reason for me to do this other than I wanted to get outside of Utah and the toxicity that I’m in and venture off and really do something for myself.”
Taylor is a single mom of three, sharing daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul and son Ever, who turns 2 this month, with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. The Hulu personality told Us that joining The Bachelorette was also about breaking her toxic on-off cycle with Mortensen, 33.
“Who gets this opportunity as a single mom to just purely focus on dating and love and yourself? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she shared. “That is why I was there. And anyone that doesn’t want to believe that, that’s their own issue.”
