Lance Bass dishes on the behind the scenes of 'Bachelor in Paradise'

'Bachelor' super fan Lance Bass takes over guest-hosting duties tonight on "Bachelor in Paradise."

While he says loves the entire franchise, he recently told ABC Audio that 'Paradise' is his absolute favorite version.

"'Paradise,' to me, I just feel is the better chance of people finding love," Bass said. "When you have multiple people as an option to fall in love with, it's just way more fun to watch ... as opposed to when you watch 'The Bachelor' and you just have one person vying for 30 people."

He added: "It just causes a lot more drama. Of course, we're in it for the drama. Let's be real."

Bass said that he had a television in his dressing room and could "watch every conversation" on the show. "it is amazing how real this can get in such a short amount of time, especially when you're there just focused on finding love and no outside world. It's the craziest speed dating on Earth," he said.

The member of former boy band NSYNC also said that the heat in Mexico, where the series' latest season takes place, does not create a great environment for romance.

"There's like sweating and just like, 'wait do I smell?' And when I'm hot, the last thing I want to think about is kissing someone or having sex, like I just want to be like, no, don't touch me, don't touch me," he said with a laugh.

Though the heat was tough, the most difficult thing for Bass was learning everyone's names.

Sharing that he had 20 minutes to pair the names and faces, he said: "That was definitely the hardest part, was keeping all the names together and which ones were coupled up, and which ones were fighting."
