"'Bachelor Pad' was created as a game show and every season, got more and more away from that," he said. "What's really intriguing and important were these relationships [that formed there]."

"I try to stay healthy on the road, whether it's working out or oral hygiene," he said. "You find things that make you comfortable at the end of the day!"
