The greatest irony will be that if he is the Bachelor he will likely end up hated and with tons of backlash next year anyway going by this year. He's not exempt from it at all no matter how well he can articulate or talk about his feelings. IMO, if he does end up the next lead it is likely he will be even more hated than the leads this season as it's only downhill from there.

How does it feel to be the crowd favourite?
I don’t know if I am the crowd favourite! I feel I’m still 50-50 with Lee. But at this point, what I wouldn’t want to have happen is if she did pick Lee and then everyone reacts like, “Thank God she didn’t pick Matt! That would’ve been a disaster—she dodged a bullet there.” That is something that would kind of be awful. So to have support from viewers is so incredible.

Funny that you mention that. When I was looking for that article, because I remember reading it, I found this one. So conceited IMO.

Dumped Bachelorette hunk Matty Johnson hints that he'll be free to become the next Bachelor in 2017 as insider says it's 'perfectly lined up'

Matty Johnson was crushed when Georgia Love cast him aside on the finale of The Bachelorette.
But the fan favourite seems ready to go on the search for love again by replacing Richie Strahan as The Bachelor in 2017.
NW magazine report an insider as claiming that Matty has nothing lined up for when his contract with a Sydney marketing firm comes to an end in January - one month before filming for season five begins.

The only thing I don't like is he played up his crushed heart in every article I read even stating he would not date for awhile or that if Georgia and Lee didn't work out he would like to try again, all this while her mother had passed.

Suddenly he apparently is lining up his ducks to be the next lead. He's very handsome and would probably pull in viewers, but how much is acting, and how much is the real thing is what I'll be questioning, if in fact he is the next lead.

IMHO Matty still has quite a bit of growing up to do. If he's the next lead I'd still watch as I always do, but he sure isn't in my top 5 of choices to watch. ; (.

GuardianAngel wrote:Yes it's a good thing that he gets over it. When the finale aired, he should have moved on by then, but he milked the heartbroken F2 a little too much for my liking. Filming ended August, finale aired end of October?

It doesn't matter to me if it's one media outlet or 10, he said

'I still miss her ... I still love her': Matty J reveals that he remains devastated from the brutal dumping in the Bachelorette finale

'Uh . . . As hard as it is to say this, my feelings towards Georgia haven't changed at all really. I still miss her. I still love her. It's hard.'

on October 30th while Georgia was at her mother's side and eventually passed on the next day. IMO it was disrespectful to the F1. Georgia didn't need to hear or read that. When I read that my immediate reaction was, you're going too far to get that lead role IMHO

It was totally classless on his part and showed his true colors, IMO. So many other F2s and next-leads never talked the way Matty did post-show, let alone at a time when the first lead ever in history of this show anywhere the lead's mother was in palliative care during the time leading up to finale and then passed away. It says a lot about his character, IMO, and no wonder he unliked racy pics that he had liked right after filming ended because that didn't fit with his whole "I am so heartbroken" image which comes across as shady behavior to me. That and hooking up with girls which were not just rumors, since Fitzy and Wippa even talked firsthand account regarding such. Sure, it's all his prerogative and none of those actions bother me since he was single but what does bother me is how he talked to the media and on various shows and now is all ready to be the lead. That was his plan all along, IMO, which again, is his prerogative but so is my opinion of him. I have zero interest in Matty as lead but I guess he will be a good actor if he is since he knows how to really play the game, IMO. The greatest irony will be that if he is the Bachelor he will likely end up hated and with tons of backlash next year anyway going by this year. He's not exempt from it at all no matter how well he can articulate or talk about his feelings. IMO, if he does end up the next lead it is likely he will be even more hated than the leads this season as it's only downhill from there.

Who knows, all it takes is "the one" and if he is the lead I hope he has a happy ending.

I'm personally exhausted discussed about that post-finale interview. Some people doesn't like matty, I get that, just the same as some people doesn't like Lee either. I wouldn't waste my time to change people opinion.
