Patrick Jagodzinski decided to join season ten of The Bachelorette after he moved from New Jersey to Orange County and had trouble connecting with the women in his new area code. The 29-year-old saw the popular ABC show as a chance to find real love with Andi Dorfman. However, the outcome was a little different than he hoped since Dorfman chose Josh Murray.

The 6-foot-4 former soccer player spoke to Enstars.com about his experience on the show, Murray receiving the final rose, the next Bachelor and more.

What was your experience on the show overall?

So glad I did it. No regrets. I was myself through and through the entire time. And honestly, I walked away with so many great friends so I'm really, really thankful for that.

Do you still keep in touch with anyone from the show?

Absolutely. I talk to Andrew [Poole] and Tasos [Hernandez]. I talked to Chris [Soules] yesterday actually and congratulated him. I still talk to a lot of the guys. It goes on and on. We all definitely keep in touch.

What are your thoughts on Chris becoming the new Bachelor?

I'm so happy. I publicly have been saying I want him to be the next Bachelor. I really just think he is going to be a perfect fit for it and especially where he lives - it's a very unique location; it's kind of a little bit secluded. Chris is just a great a guy, he really, really is. He deserves something like this, so I'm really happy for him.

Was there anything challenging about being on the show?

Yeah, I think the number one most challenging thing was I was only on group dates. It's very difficult to stand out on a group date. Not only is it awkward and odd to be on a group date with like 11 other guys - whether you're playing basketball or taking off your clothes or whatever it might be - it was difficult to get that one-on-one time and really ensure that Andi knew who I was as a person. She told me that she didn't, so that was kind of a little frustrating...

I even asked her for a one-on-one date when I was in France, and obviously that didn't air, but I asked her. And she was very open to the idea of it, but her response the next day was sending me home.

Do you think the show portrayed you in a way that you're not?

Yeah. You don't know who I am, that's the problem I had with it. I got edited out a lot of the "Men Tell All." It's kind of a shame. In the end, I wish I had a little bit more airtime...

And Andrew, he's nothing like he was portrayed in the show, I cannot emphasize that enough. He was portrayed as a womanizing racist, which is so not true and so far from the fact of who he is as a person. He comes from a great family and he has a great group of friends in L.A.

What did you think of Andi's final choice?

Literally, perfect for each other. I think a lot of the guys had a suspicion about the two of them considering that he lives in the same town as her. Not only that, but it seems to me that they both have very similar tendencies and qualities. So, I think it's the perfect choice.

Would you consider going on the Bachelor?

Absolutely not. I want Chris to be and I mean that because I think he deserves to be it. It's also a difficult position to be in. It truly is. Here you are on national television with 25 girls and you need to handle yourself with the utmost class and not only that, but also ensure that you don't make any mistakes and make sure you get to know everyone... It's a very difficult task and Andi did a great job with it. She would know the conversation we had a week ago and pick up right where we left off. It was very impressive.

What's next for you?

There are a few things going on, I can't talk about it yet because it is in the works, but it is something very exciting and it's also going to be a challenge, which I love a good challenge, so I'm definitely up for it.
