Typically, the runner-up ofThe Bachelorettestands a chance at leading the franchise in his next quest for love. But withTyler Cameron— who placed second on Hannah Brown’s season — datingGigi Hadid, it seems unlikely he’ll trade traipsing around New York Citywith a supermodel for handing out roses of his own. (Really, can you blame him?)
PEOPLE caught up with Cameron, 26, tolearn more about ABC Food Tours, the non-profit he runs with college friend Matt James that takes kids from underserved elementary schools to restaurants in their local communities. Of course, we couldn’t help but ask who he’d want to see as the next Bachelor.
“I can’t wait to watch him next year,” he joked, pointing to James, who laughed.
“With everything going on with ABC, I can’t really talk about it,” James quipped.

“That’s my line. That’s funny,” Cameron said. “I know my mom signed him up.” (The pals met as teammates on Wake Forest University’s football team in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.)
All kidding aside, Cameron’s got someBachelorNation recruits from his season in mind for the job, too: frontrunnersMike Johnson(who would become the first black and first veteran Bachelor) andPeter Weber(aka “Pilot Pete,” who had sex in a windmill), plus early cast-off Dustin Kendrick.

“Mike is an incredible guy. Pete is an incredible guy,” he said. “Dustin, out of nowhere. I love Dustin. I think Dustin got really overshadowed, but he’s like the sweetest guy ever. We’re running the Chicago Marathon together, and I am a huge fan of Dustin, but — you know, you can’t go wrong with any of those guys. Yeah, it’ll be fun to watch.”
