Stanislav Iliev, better known as Findo, applied for participation in the first season of the popular reality show “The Bachelor”, writes Hot Arena.
The winner of “Survivor” had a serious attraction to reality formats and did not hesitate when he was invited to a casting for the romantic show.
He was approved for participation, but failed to get the main role in the show, which was eventually taken by fitness model Viktor Stoyanov.
Findo did not become the first “Bachelor” for several reasons. Although he is visually attractive and well-built, the fact that he is divorced and has a child proved to be an obstacle. In addition, The organizers wanted the man on the show to be completely unknown to the general audience.
However, this story does not end here. His daughter, Yoana Ilieva, who became popular after her participation in “The Bachelor”, has apparently followed in her father's footsteps. She also auditioned for another reality show, “The Island of a Hundred Hryvnias”, but failed to make it to the third round. Today, she says she has no regrets about it and believes that everything happened as it should. “It's a good thing they didn't take me, because I'm a big leaguer and I wouldn't have made it”, admits the ambitious Yoana.
Although not selected for the first “The Bachelor”, Findo and his daughter continue to be part of the Bulgarian reality scene. Yoana also has many offers to participate in television shows and is still considering what to choose.
