This week Amanda Stanton was on Reality Steve’s podcast and she shared a small tidbit that a lot of fans were surprised to hear. Amanda talked about her past with Josh and Robby, but her second time to join “Bachelor in Paradise” that isn’t who she had hoped would be there. Amanda actually shared who the guy was that she wanted to be on the show.

Amanda actually said that she asked the producers if Arie Luyendyk Jr. would be on the show. Amanda knew who he was from when he was on Emily Maynard’s season. They told her that he wouldn’t be there, but then Arie ended up being cast as “The Bachelor.” Don’t get your hopes up, though. It doesn’t sound like there is any chance that Amanda will be showing up on the show to try to win his heart. He is filming now and she is obviously at home talking to Reality Steve on his podcast.

Are you surprised to hear that Amanda Stanton wanted Arie Luyendyk Jr. to be on “Bachelor in Paradise”? Do you think they would have been a cute couple? Sound off in the comments section below on your thoughts, and don’t miss new episodes of “The Bachelor” with Arie Luyendyk Jr. when it starts airing in January on ABC.
