As the sands of Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 shift, a new entrant is set to rev up the romance on the beach. Jordan Vandergriff, affectionately known as Jordan V, is ready to make a splash among the guys and ladies on Thursday, November 16, 2023. With a unique nickname and a backstory that includes a stint on The Bachelorette, Jordan V is poised to bring a mix of charm and second chances to the tropical paradise.

From Drag Racing to Paradise:

Born on February 21, 1995, in Alpharetta, Georgia, Jordan Vandergriff is not your average contestant. Known for his work as a drag racer, Jordan V adds an element of thrill and speed to the Bachelor in Paradise experience. After being eliminated in week 2 on The Bachelorette with Rachel Recchia, he’s back for another shot at love in the sun-soaked paradise.

A Second Chance at Love with Rachel Recchia

Jordan V is no stranger to the complexities of reality TV romance. After being eliminated on Rachel’s season of The Bachelorette, he’s back to rewrite his love story. Unfortunately, his one-on-one date with Rachel on The Bachelorette lacked the chemistry they both hoped for, leading to his elimination. Now, Jordan V is eager to find someone sincere, passionate, and supportive as he looks forward to settling down and starting a family.

In a world of grand gestures, Jordan V believes in the timeless allure of a handwritten letter as the most romantic gift. His quest for simplicity and genuine connection sets the stage for heartwarming moments on Bachelor in Paradise.

Tattoos and Tributes:

Beyond the racing track and the pursuit of love, Jordan V carries a tribute to his grandfather in the form of a tattoo. This personal touch adds depth to his character and offers a glimpse into the relationships that matter most to him.

A Gentleman’s Departure:

During his time on The Bachelorette, where two Bachelorettes, Gabby and Rachel, were featured, fans questioned why Jordan V didn’t explore a connection with Gabby after Rachel’s dismissal. On the Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation podcast, he clarified that his intentions were focused solely on Rachel. Rather than forcing a connection for the sake of TV time, Jordan V chose to part ways with Gabby as a gentleman.

Friendships and Buckhead Vibes:

It seems that Jordan V has forged connections beyond the rose ceremonies. A snapshot on Instagram shows him enjoying a drink with Bachelor in Paradise co-star and pilot, Peter Cappio, in Buckhead Village, Georgia. The camaraderie between the contestants, evident from Kylee’s comment expressing missing them, adds a touch of warmth to the behind-the-scenes dynamics.
