“Bachelor ”host Jesse Palmer says he'd 'easily' win chubby bunny showdown against Grant

Each week during The Bachelor, host Jesse Palmer will answer a few questions about Grant's "journey" to find "love." Today, Jesse shares his thoughts via email about Beverly's exit, Rose's misstep with Grant, and that chubby bunny competition.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This week, the women were quizzed on their knowledge of finance and their financial history. How would you describe your approach to finances?

JESSE PALMER: As Bailey so eloquently wrote, "Give me more money!”

After the first group date, Parisa and Grant played "chubby bunny" with Rice Krispies treats. How many Rice Krispies treats do you think you could fit in your mouth, and will you please challenge reigning champ Grant to a competition on After the Final Rose?

I feel like I could get a solid five, and would easily win chubby bunny at AFR!

Beverly had to go home after falling ill, and we hope everything is okay with her. Grant had chosen Beverly for a one-on-one date this week, so what was his reaction to the news that she was leaving?

Grant was obviously disappointed to lose that opportunity with Beverly, but of course he was very understanding. Beverly‘s health and safety were of the upmost importance.

Rose told Grant something she thought she heard Grant say about her, but when Grant found out, it almost cost her a rose. What advice would you give the women about being honest with each other about their feelings, while also protecting their individual relationships with Grant?

I really think it’s a case-by-case situation. If you believe the person you’re confiding in can keep your conversation personal, then by all means feel free to express yourself.

We know where the Bachelor stands on this age-old question, but now it's your turn: cats or dogs?

Dogs. But my wife, Emely, my brother Christian, and his wife, Myra, all share a chat group that only includes cat memes...
