The 2018 'Bachelor' Has A Lot To Live Up To

I don’t say this to knock you, white dudes! But you’ve gotta admit, after 20 seasons (I’m excluding Juan Pablo here, who was technically the first Latino Bachelor) it would be nice to see a different subsection of humanity represented on this show for just a little while.

You’d think I wouldn’t have to clarify this, but in this post-Juan Pablo reality we’re living in, sometimes it’s nice to be upfront. Before you make a choice, producers, please think to yourself: “Are women going to willingly leave this show because they hate being around our Bachelor so much?” If the answer is yes, don’t go with that dude.

Everyone was psyched for Nick Viall to take on the role of the Bachelor after he won everyone’s hearts in Bachelor In Paradise, but I sort of felt like he lost that spark when he became the focal point of the series. I hope this time around they find somebody like Rachel, whose personality shone through every single moment she was on screen.

Again, this should go without saying, but after what happened with Lee I am not leaving any stone unturned. How hard is it to check a guy’s social media account beforehand??

Above all else, the next Bachelor should be someone who's fun to watch as good guy. Like I said earlier, we've done the whole Bachelor-as-villain shtick before, and while it was extremely compelling for some fans at the time, it's gonna be really aggravating to see over and over again. The Bachelor should be someone who inspires audiences to want to find love!

I don't feel like these are difficult bars to clear for The Bachelor — in fact, if you ask me, a lot of it sounds like Eric. Keep your options open for Bachelor In Paradise, I guess, but I'm just saying, he's right there and ready to fall in love again. No pressure.
