While you’ve probably intentionally blocked the awkward mess that was ATFR out of your minds, the reason Cam looks familiar is that he was one of the guys who got to do their ‘limo entrance’ early. Not only did he get to meet Hannah early, but he was also the lucky recipient of her first First Impression Rose when he ‘rapped’ his way into her heart.
Not so fun fact: he suffers from a rare & apparently very misunderstood disease called lymphedema. Most simply put, it’s a disease that results in swelling in your arms & legs, and while treatable, is ultimately incurable.
From the sounds of his Instagram, this has had a huge impact on his life & presumably who he is as a person.
“I was told by dozens of doctors and “Specialists” that I would never be able to play competitive sports, and that I would have to manage this condition for the rest of my life… After visiting over 20 clinics, I was finally given some treatment options. Through manual lymphatic drainage massage, leg pumps, and custom compression garments, I was given a second chance to live a “normal” life again. This didn’t come with countless nights of excruciating pain, swelling, and mental agony. Through the support of my family, friends, and music, I stopped focusing on my misfortunes and started prioritizing the blessings that I often took for granted. Fast forward to 2014, I experienced my first “episode” of infection in my right knee. The past 4 years brought me to the top medical hospitals in Houston, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. After enduring 13 surgical procedures, the only consensus that the doctors came to was….amputation. The thought of losing my leg gave me crippling fear and anxiety. How would I ever be able to dance with my future wife, play sports with my future kids, and maintain a healthy lifestyle? As fate would have it, the experts at Boston Children’s Hospital performed a diagnostic procedure that saved my leg from being amputated in Dec. 2016.”
So you can definitely expect to hear more about this throughout the season.
Unless he blacks out and tries to punch someone on night 1, Cam’s First Impression rose guarantees him a trip to night 2. It’s also important to keep in mind that the last First Impression roses have gone to
Take that as you will.

We all remember Derek; if not for getting the first 1-on-1 date with JoJo, then probably for the 2-on-1 date where he had to dance the tango, but ultimately JoJo chose Chase over Derek.
Per the gossip mill, it’s said that Derek and Olivia Caridi were also a couple for some time, but because he doesn’t want to date anyone from the franchise, the relationship ended… Have you seen Bachelor in Paradise, Derek?
