Who is Greg Grippo from Katie Thurstons Bachelorette season?
There are nice guys  and then there are niece guys. During the Season 17 premiere of The Bachelorette, leading lady Katie Thurston was introduced to 29 potential future husbands. Several caught her eye, including Uncle Greg Grippo. On night 1, Thurston awarded the 27-year-old marketing sales rep from Edison, NJ, the highly-coveted first impression rose and a kiss, making him the seasons current frontrunner. Grippo, an uncle of seven (soon to be eight), wooed Thurston by presenting her with a painted pasta necklace made by one of his nieces. I appreciate you opening up, I know youre nervous, but I do feel that theres something there, Thurston told him while presenting him the flower. Theres a great guy under there.  Grippos official ABC bio hypes him as a handsome, kind, vulnerable and serious about wanting to settle down. Serious is an understatement: He wants a big brood, and is hoping to have at least six kids. The family man is close with his parents, and wants a partner to travel the world with. A former basketball player himself (he played in college for Saint Michaels College in Vermont), Grippo dreams of seeing Lebron James play in person. Hes sensitive, and often cries during movies. But dont sit with him in traffic: slow drivers are his biggest pet peeve. If he had a theme song, it would be Queen and David Bowies Under Pressure.  Greg Grippo from Season 16 of The Bachelorette.
