This week's bachelor may claim his jokes are only mediocre, but we're willing to give him more credit than that. Plus, he does a "killer vacuuming job," and if you're not sold on that fact alone, then your priorities are all wrong.
Name: Ryan Wall
Hometown: Madison, WI
Major: Something in Communications, but undecided for now
Year: Sophomore
Fraternity: Kappa Sigma
1. What’s your favorite quality in a girl?
A great sense of humor. Nothing better than telling a mediocre joke (which I do 90 percent of the time) and getting a girl to laugh. I guess that would mean that they have a terrible sense of humor, but I do like making people laugh.
2. Describe your ideal date.
A beautiful fall Chicago day filled with touristy sight-seeing and exploring that ends with a delicious meal at an expensive downtown restaurant that I can’t afford (yet).
3. If you had to participate in any reality show which one would you choose?
I’m going to have to go with "The Bachelor" here. In my opinion,
everything that happens is totally staged, but what could be more fun than being flown around the world for free with a group of beautiful girls?
4. If you could only bring three things to a deserted island what would you bring?
My phone (it would be useless after about four hours when it dies, but still...), a lot of sunscreen because I burn easily, and a nice pair of shades to protect my big brown eyes. That’s probably the most practical answer you’ve ever gotten to this question, too.
5. Where can you be found on a Friday night?
College Library (I swear, Mom!)
6. What event would you go to the Olympics for (actual event or create your own)?
Vacuuming. I do a killer vacuuming job, so I would bring home a gold medal for sure.
7. What’s the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?
I’m not very spontaneous normally, I like to plan things out. I bought a plane ticket this summer spur-of-the-moment to visit my cousin at South Carolina for a weekend at the end of September and that’s about as spontaneous as it gets for me.
8. What’s your worst habit?
Procrastination.
9. Biggest turn off?
Gotta go with the bad breath/not clean teeth combo.
10. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Being a few weeks away from turning 30 and wishing it was 10 years earlier and I was still here enjoying college. Kidding (kind of). Hopefully, I'll have seen a lot of the world by then and I’ve got a great job doing something I enjoy. A long term girlfriend wouldn’t be terrible, either.
11. If you had a yacht what would you name it?
NauticWALL
12. Would you rather live 100 years in the future or 100 years in the past?
Definitely 100 years in the past. That way, I could invent a bunch of things that hadn’t been invented yet and become a billionaire. Plus, I’d only be a few years ahead of Jay Gatsby and his wild parties.
13. If you had to pick one U.S. state to get rid of which one would it be and why?
Wyoming. Aside from Yellowstone, it doesn’t bring much to the table. All yours, Canada.
14. What was your best tweet?
One night this summer, one of my friends attached a combination lock to my belt loop (which he didn’t know the combo to) while I wasn’t paying attention and I had a nice little problem to deal with the next day. Anyways, I tweeted a picture of my shorts with the lock on them wondering if anyone “knew the combination.” It got a lot of favorites, so people must have at least slightly enjoyed it.
15. Anything else you want people to know about you?
These are more on the fun fact side, but: I played the tuba in high school and I made it to the Illinois state swim meet when I was in 5th grade (I peaked early, I know). I really should not have given up the tuba though, I had a promising career ahead of me.
