James then appeared on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, when he met Aaron and they established a hilarious bromance.
James returned to Paradise for Season 8, which just wrapped on ABC late last month. James was part of a love triangle with Shanae Ankney, who was also dating Logan Palmer at the time.
Shanae ended up giving her rose to Logan over James, although James had fiercely pursued her and made her feel wanted. He even surprised Shanae with a shrimp taco tasting on the beach one night.
Shanae also left Paradise single and alone. Logan dumped her for newcomer Kate Gallivan during "The Split" twist and then Shanae failed to build a potentially long-lasting connection with Joey Young.
