Former Bachelor contestant Derek Peth usually makes headlines for being, by all accounts, a good man who has appeared on The Bachelor franchise, which is rare. But people were talking about him for a different reason today after a video of him eating cheese in a super weird way surfaced online.
Derek was backstage at a podcast event for the show Almost Famous with some other members of Bachelor Nation including podcast co-host Ashley Iaconetti, who captured Derek, well, double fisting whole blocks of cheese.
In the video he can be seen chatting with other co-host Ben Higgins, while laughing and holding a block of some sort of hard cheese (I think parm??), and a half round of brie, while alternating bites. It's honestly a sight to see! Not a cracker or knife in sight. My lactose intolerance is QUAKING.
Ashley posted the video on her story, but it really gained attention (and horror) when it was posted by writer Yashar Ali on Twitter with the caption "Look how @PethDerek eats Brie...my god." A pretty good way to sum it up!
People immediately started responding in horror and, honestly, admiration.
As a few people pointed out, we should have expected this...after all his pinned Tweet is "My love language is cheese." As such, he had a pretty chill response to all the attention.
"10/10 would recommend," he replied. He also explained on his own podcast The Betchelor that he was just really bored backstage so he just wanted to eat some cheese...a lot of it!
Good for Derek! May we all find our happy place double fisting the treat of our choice...mine would be chicken sandwiches. Just saying!
