    Jason Tartick says 'never say never' to being the next 'Bachelor' on this week's 'Playing The Field'

    You may remember Jason Tartick from his stint on "The Bachelorette" years ago. He was vying for Becca Kufrin's heart on season 14 of the show back in 2018. He came in third. But, following that he actually got engaged to a different "Bachelorette," Kaitlyn Bristowe, a couple of years after her season ended. Their engagement was broken off in 2023. Since his time on reality television, Tartick, went back to his financial roots and has been helping couples navigate love and the role money plays in relationships. He's written two books called "Restart Roadmap Rewire and Reset Your Career" and "Talk Money to Me: The 8 Essential Financial Questions to Discuss with Your Partner." Tartick said that he's been watching this season of "Bachelor in Paradise," and he has some advice for whoever wins the show's $500,000 prize. "Now with Paradise we have this money pool, $500,000 on the line. I think it's great because you are kind of forcing these conversations, really important conversations that we should be having anyway," Tartick said. "So for whoever does win it, I think the biggest thing is you can't decide what you are going to do with the money or how you are going to do it, or what percentage goes where until you understand everyone, and each individual's relationship with money." When it comes to whether or not he'd do reality television again, possibly being the next "Bachelor," he didn't rule it out. "I always say like, you never say never, but I will say since like I don't know what was it, like the last two years there have been five different shows that have approached me to go on and my desire to go back on reality tv is quite low right now, so never say never, but I'd prefer if I was going to go back in for it to be a competition like show but you never know," Tartick said. There's a growing social media buzz calling for him to be the next "Bachelor," but he said he didn't realize that. "That's news to me! Some people have sent me these articles that are like these rumors but, yeah, I don't know where all that stuff comes from," he said. In fact, he said his mom started to joke that he was getting too old for the regular "Bachelor" series. "My mom was joking around saying, 'Bachelor! You're 36! They have a Golden Bachelor, maybe they'll have a Silver Bachelor, I thought that was pretty funny," Tartick said.

    This week on "Playing the Field," Ryan Field is back from his time off and reunited with Jen Matarese and Gina Sirico to talk about the latest happenings in "Paradise." Let the games begin! "Bachelor in Paradise" is now a competition for love and money and Gary made a bad bet. In a relationship gambling game, he and Leslie were tied at the top until his final bet cost him half of his chips, and the competition. His poor betting decision eventually led to their elimination. Bailey and Jeremy came out on top in the game and that gave Bailey the power to eliminate a couple while saving two from the bottom three. Brian and Parisa worked to continue their relationship, despite Brian being annoyed at Parisa's questions and even her compliments of him. Plus, when it comes to playing the game, is Jonathon doing it all wrong? Lea seemed to have some interest him, but he told everyone, but her that they were just friends. In the end, she gave him the rose and said, "You're welcome." Meantime, the "Goldens" were all having a great time. Kim and Faith found a romantic connection, and Kathy and Keith continued to have a strong bond.
