He followed his family's footsteps in the grocery store world, where he bought his own store. Lovingly referred to as "Grocery Store Joe," Amabile was a fan favorite on The Bachelorette season 14 and went on to appear on Bachelor in Paradise season 5.

He's cute as a button, but based on what he's said, I'd guess he has two left feet. He'll probably stay in a few weeks at least because of that smile.

He seems like he is a genuinely nice person. My guess is that Bachelor National will help keep him in for a few weeks. I don't have hope he'll go far but I'll give him some votes. I don't understand why they would put in a Quickstep or a Jive for the first week both are hard dances. He got the Quickstep. Good luck to him.

I'm looking forward to seeing him, if I hadn't see him on BIP etc, I doubt I'd care.. |

His bio is interesting. I had no idea that he was a successful stock trader before he went into the grocery business. That's an interesting combination of experiences.
I'll be interested to see if he's really as uncoordinated as he says he is. I saw a little video clip of Jenna and Joe, and he moved his body a lot more smoothly than I expected. But they were mostly stationary, so we'll see how well he moves his feet.
Quickstep does seem like a hard first dance.

ABC has the Meet Jenna Johnson and Joe Amabile video and they are just adorable together. You can see what a sweet, normal regular guy Joe is.

I wasn't able to watch last night's program so I caught Joe's performance online and I thought the judges' comments were embarrassing. It was a quickstep on night one and he said he had no dance experience, so why be so mean?
Full disclosure, Joe is my favorite The Bachelor/ette contestant to date. He can do no wrong in my eyes.

Mine too cuddles! But, I think they were comparing him to everyone who had already danced, and some of them were more advanced in performance. If Joe had been their first dancer up, they may not have been so harsh. It was heartbreaking for me to listen to their criticism.
