The model and actor never filmed anything, not even the limo scene. Once producers found out about his mutual connections, “he was quickly replaced by an alternate they had waiting in the wings,” the insider continued.
And Chad wasn’t the only contestant who got booted early on! Reality Steve reported that Paul Tappon was flown out to LA and set to film until directors found out he had a relative who previously worked on the show! Being related to a cast member is a big “no no” in The Bachelor world, so sadly, Tappon didn’t make the final cut.
