Meanwhile, both Robertson and Luyendyk are watching Ben Higgins' current season of The Bachelor. Robertson thinks Becca would make the best Bachelorette, while Luyendyk says that Amanda has caught his eye.

Don't they have anything better to do than watch TB?

It's hilarious to me that Courtney thinks Becca would be the best bachelorette considering she's nothing like Courtney. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges but there's something comical about that to me.

I can see Arie favouring Amanda. After all, he was more than ready for an instant family.

This is the only other Us Weekly article I could find about the next Bachelorette where MF mentions the goal is to make a WOC the next lead. Jubilee and Amber (LOL) are mentioned in there.

And according to In Touch Weekly Jubilee wants to be the next Bachelorette.

Oh, wow - fleiss's comments kind of make it seem like Caila is a done deal.

This IMO is probably about the time they start throwing bait names around. Amber James?

Jubilee? Nice girl but no way do I think she can deal with 25 guys and TPTB's grips.

Emily Maynard wants to see Becca as the Bachelorette.

Aside from her doppelganger Amanda, Emily is a fan of Lauren Bushnell for the 26-year-old tech salesman. But when it comes to her pick for the next Bachelorette 2016, she’s got one gal in mind.

“I think Becca [Tilley] would be fun to watch,” she gushes. “She’s so cute and pretty! And I like her clothes.”

Isn't Arie just saying he likes Amanda, like in general..? Not necessarily for the lead?

Emily wants to watch Becca cause she's "cute, pretty, has nice clothes"..? Oh gosh. Spare me.

I'm not saying that she will be the Bachelorette, and I'm not sure when TPTB will decide who they want, but I get the sense Becca is at the very least, a realistic candidate.

There are infinite reasons why anyone wants a particular candidate. While not each one is my ideal, my ideal may not be someone else's. That's absolutely ok. The bottom line is what I choose to watch or not watch.

I don't think Jubilee will be the next Bette. TPTB and Ben's blog pretty much made that not happen with the negativity.

When it comes to a WOC lead... I will believe it when it happens.

If the edit is negative for any of them then that will let me know that MF is just talking nonsense.

If Amanda is lead then that will let me know everything I need to know about how full of it TPTB and MF really are.

They can always get away with it by saying "we really made an effort to cast a POC, but bachelor nation had spoken and they really wanted Amanda/Becca/Jojo". I have a bad feeling it's going to be Jojo and they're going to pass her off as a POC. She's the most popular and she's going to be fresh on people's minds when she gets dumped.

Lol if JoJo is their answer to more diversity.
