Bachelor in Paradise Season 1 contestant Marquel Martin might become a TV host soon.

On Nov. 24 Erica Rose who was a contestant on season 9 of The Bachelor took to Instagram to share a photo of herself with Martin at a hosting class. She said in the caption, "Look who I ran into at hosting class @marquel_martin He's super sexy! #becomeahost #cmeg #bachelor."
Martin clearly has ambitions to be a television host since he attended the class. Rose has been attending these classes since as early as the beginning of the month when she tweeted a quote from the hosting class teacher Marki Costello from the Nov. 6 class, which can be seen below.

A fan of Rose even asked if she'll be heading back to TV or movies soon and she happily replied, "Yes!! Be patient ;)".
Maybe Rose even gave Martin some pointers since it would seem as though the Nov. 24 class could have been his first since Rose "ran into" him there, which seemed surprising to her.
Martin is currently working on a business venture called Social Cookie, which is described as, "Something social. Something sweet," on its Kickstarter campaign page. It further details that Social Cookie, which is opening shop in Las Vegas, "encourages people to share, interact, and take part in socially trending topics as well as support charities and other good causes with its ever-changing menu."
The Kickstarter campaign page shared an example using the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, stating, "To support the great cause, Social Cookie would come out with a fun and creative cookie inspired by the campaign and from which part of the proceeds would go to the ALS Association."
Bustle got some more insight on Social Cookie a few weeks ago from Martin. He shared, "I would say that just me having a history of loving cookies was the initial spark, I always wanted to do something around cookies other than eat them. My dad, being that he owned his own hair salon, always instilled in me that entrepreneurial mindset. When I got back from the show, one of the fans approached me and said, 'Hey, you're the 'Cookie Monster' from The Bachelorette.' My friends and family have been calling me 'Cookie Monster' for as long as I can remember, but [the fact] that the fans identify with me kind of organically created a brand."
There's no word on what kind of show Martin would like to host, but maybe it has something to do with his business venture.
