Jennifer Aniston is a big fan of the Bachelor franchise and while she hasn’t agreed to be the show’s lead just yet, she says she would make an appearance. While discussing her love for the show, Jennifer joked that the contestants really need someone to talk to -- and agreed that it could be her!
“I think they need a psychologist or psychiatrist…There should be someone they can go and talk to,” she told InStyle. “OK, well, I’ll do that. Gladly. I’ll be the one picking roses in the rose garden.”
3. Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish loves Survivor and the show even inspired a line in her song “TV.” She says that when she first watched the show in 2022, it admittedly wasn’t what she expected -- and now she wants to take part one day.
“I kind of had this idea that it was this, like, oh you jump through a hoop and you, like, run through a thing. And it’s not. It is like people almost dying and s--t. I don’t know. I kind of wanna go on it,” Billie told Variety.
She continued, “What’s his name? Mike White, who went on? Amazing. That was actually the season I was watching when I wrote that line. I think that the physical stuff I’d be great at, but you have to do, like, math and s--t, and I would not be good at that.”

Keke Palmer also recently became a fan of Survivor, watching 20 seasons of the show during the COVID lockdown in 2020. In the midst of catching up, Keke tweeted CBS and asked when they were planning on doing a celebrity season for charity because she was ready to take part. When she was later asked what her strategy would be, she said she would befriend everyone but switch it up at the end.
“I’m playing a social game, all the way. ‘Hey what’s up, what’s up, what’s up? How y’all doing? Look I’m gonna tell y’all right now, I really don’t know everything with this stuff but I got y’all back with it,’” Keke said on Hot Ones.
She continued, “Then when it gets towards them last things, I’m showing them how I know how to really hone it in. I’m pulling from the inside out. I’m going to the back of my mind with that meditation level of concentration. It’s going to come out of nowhere. I’m going to win every single one of those ones leading up to the final countdown and I’m going to take it all home.”
5. Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer loves The Bachelor and before she was married, she said she would star on the show under a few conditions. While she jokingly said it was all about the show paying her, she added that she would also have to be allowed to be unapologetically herself.
“They would have to say, ‘We will let you be yourself.’ I would say what was really up…I would be very honest,” she told E! News. “The casting process would have to be different. First of all, their job descriptions are so weird. It’s like, ‘former investment banker.’ They’re like, ‘flower enthusiast.’ You’re like, ‘But what do you do? How come you could leave your life?’ I love when it’s like, ‘I have five kids at home but I just came here to follow my heart.’ It’s like maybe go take care of your kids? I would keep it very real.”

“I think it would be really fun to be The Bachelor. I don’t think that I would find love there, unless they would change the vetting process for who would be the contestants,” John said on The Ellen Show, jokingly adding, “Yeah I think it would be one of the lowest rated shows.”
7. Katy Perry
Katy Perry already had a gig on competition reality show, American Idol, but she says she’d love to be on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Katy has actually been asked to be a guest judge in the past but the timing just hasn’t worked out yet.
“Oh, I want to. I think it’s just been timing, and it’s been one of those things where we tried to do it a couple of times, but the timing hasn’t worked out,” she told Rolling Stone. “I’m definitely going to do it in the future, I hope. Quite honestly, if it weren’t for drag queens, I probably wouldn’t have a career because I probably learned everything from them.”

I challenged him and said ‘Do you really want to do it, or is this just a fun fantasy that will never happen?’ He said, ‘I want to do it.’”

11. January Jones
January Jones has been a long time viewer of the Bachelor franchise and in 2017, she said that if she could be on any reality show, it would be The Bachelorette. In fact, she had already asked her publicist if she could make it happen, but she advised against it.
“I watch the show, have a couple of glasses of wine, Ben gets kicked off and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m going to be the next Bachelorette and get that guy!’ And [my publicist] says it would ruin my career and I would get shot down. But that’s my dream,” she said on The Late Late Show.

KJ Apa has an alter ego named Fifi, a character he’s been developing since he was just a kid that he says allows him to “express the feminine side” of himself “through moving and physicality.” While he hasn’t showcased himself in Fifi’s hair and makeup just yet, one day, he says he’d love to bring the character to RuPaul’s Drag Race.
“I love watching RuPaul’s Drag Race and I’ve told my agents I want to be on that show,” he told NME. “But at the same time, RuPaul’s Drag Race and the characters on that show, they’re the real deal, they’re the most authentic. I don’t think I’d be allowed on that show because I’m not the real deal. But why did I share Fifi with the world? Because it’s not something that I feel like I need to hide. I am proud of Fifi. I really enjoy that [side of myself].”
