Jessi Ngatikaura Reveals ‘Chill’ Taylor Frankie Paul Is Looking For a ‘Normal Guy’ on ‘The Bachelorette’: She’ll Find ‘the Quiet Guy in the Room’

“She’s very low maintenance. She may have to wear ball gowns to these rose ceremonies, but she’s going to be in sweatpants every chance she gets,” Ngatikaura spilled. “She’s very chill, very normal, so she’s looking for a normal guy. Any guy that comes in trying to flash and impress her, it’s not going to work on her. Taylor’s probably going to go for the quiet guy in the room who’s not giving her any attention because she’s curious about them.”

The Hulu star added that her castmate may seem “super intimidating,” but she’s “genuinely the most down-to-earth, nicest person you’ll ever meet.” Paul has never seen The Bachelorette, so Ngatikaura has been schooling her on past seasons and giving advice.

“Taylor and I have gotten really close, and she’s helped me. You’ll kind of see in Season 3 [of Mormon Wives] what I go through,” the mom-of-three said. “Now is my chance to return the favor…I’ve been trying to give her tips and tricks on how rose ceremonies work…I told her, ‘You need to be in the moment and immerse yourself in this experience and not worry about what’s going on at home or what’s happened in the past. Give your all to this moment because you could end up with someone, and it could be a life-changing experience.'”

Paul is not the only Mormon Wives star branching out into other reality TV endeavors. Both Jenn Affleck and Whitney Leavitt are competing on Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars. Ngatikaura has been supporting both her pals from the audience, but her loyalties lie with one of the women in particular.

“I’m definitely closer with Jenn between the two, but they’re both amazing, and I’m going to root for both of them, obviously,” she dished. “I’ve been watching at home, and it’s always exciting ’cause I hear a little bit from Jenn about what they’re working on that week, and then seeing it come to life is just so cool.”

On Saturday, October 4, Affleck and Ngatikaura traveled to Las Vegas together to attend a UFC event. During their trip, the DWTS contestant showed her friend bruises and cuts all over her feet from rehearsals.

“It’s just intense what they go through,” Ngatikaura revealed. “I just keep telling her, ‘This is a season of life.’ She’s so tired, but she’s also living her dreams, so she’s so happy at the same time. But this won’t last forever, right? You have to embrace it while you have it, and even if it’s hard and exhausting, it’s going to be done in a few months, and then she’ll be looking back on it, missing it. So I just keep telling her that she’s doing amazing. They both are.”

Meanwhile, Ngatikaura is focused on her own personal projects, including a collaboration with Richwife. She released a limited-edition baseball cap with the company earlier this year with the word “Breadwinner” etched in lavender.

“I’ve used their stuff for a while. I’ve always thought the concept is really cool. They had really cute hats and sweatshirts, and then they asked me to do a collab,” she recounted. “We decided to do ‘Breadwinner’ since the theme of our show is entrepreneurial women and being the breadwinners of our families. We just thought doing a hat capitalizing on that would be cool. And we did it in lavender since that was my confessional color in Season 2.”

Although nothing has been confirmed yet, Ngatikaura is eager to create a custom sweatshirt and hopes she can make another collaboration happen for the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premieres November 13.
