Paul and Mariel also shared with us how intense it was filming a reality show that showed them both at such a vulnerable stage in their lives. Mariel gives birth to their daughter, Bella, in the Season 1 finale and the experience was especially different for her, since she was surrounded by cameras during such a monumental moment.

Mariel said that, even though it was a vulnerable time for her since she gave birth with cameras nearby, "to be able to share that with the viewers [is] something special."
All that being said, Paul and Mariel have had a blast filming a TV show with their best friends and going through the growing pains together.

But Paul did joke about Mariel being perfect for a Real Housewives show. And Mariel pointed out that Paul would be great in a show like The Challenge, and he agreed.
So even if they plan to stay put on their current show, maybe we'll see Paul prove just how much of a competitor he is on another reality show at some point in the future.
Until then, though, as long as there's a second season of Austin Dillon's Life in the Fast Lane, Paul and Mariel are here for it.
Watch Austin Dillon's Life in the Fast Lane on Thursdays at 9 and 9:30 p.m. EST on USA.
