Nick's IG tribute/announcement of Rachel being the bette is his most liked photo of the season (and probably ever?) with 135K likes and counting.

@bleuberry I dont have IG can you bring the photo over please?

I hope this will end in a foiler season that RS dont get a thing out of it.

Bachelor Nation doesn't know how it all goes down yet, but as you'll surely see saying goodbye to Rachel was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. I have met very few people who possess as much beauty, grace, and charisma as Rachel and after hearing that she'll be the next Bachelorette I couldn't be more excited. Bachelor Nation is so lucky to have her but not as lucky as the group of men who will have a chance at winning her heart. No one is better prepared to show Bachelor Nation, and the world, the beauty of embracing diversity. Good luck Rachel, not that you'll be needing it. I'm so proud and happy for you, I'm honored to be able to call you a friend. I can't wait to watch your journey!! #thebachelor #thebachelorette by @nickviall

@reneem thanks.

Wow, they look so hot together!

*Comes out of lurking* I'm so glad Rachel is the new Bachelorette. This show finally does something right! She is gorgeous, smart, accomplished and conducts herself with nothing but poise and class. I'm so excited for her season and the future diversity her season will hopefully bring to this franchise.

Hi everyone!! My name is Farren, and I'm new to the forum! I've been a fan of the Bachelor franchise since the beginning, and I am 100% thrilled that Rachel is the new Bachelorette!! As a 30-year old black career woman myself, I can relate to Rachel in more ways than one. As much as I enjoyed seeing her and Nick together, I knew that he wasn't the guy for her. Looking forward to seeing Rachel find her true love. May can't get here fast enough!!

Welcome @flojo031 glad you are here.

I am so excited about Rachel!

When will we find out who will be the contestants for Rachel's season?

Good question, I was actually wondering the same thing myself! Anyway, I remember reading in earlier posts that other former Bachelor alumni have been buzzing about Rachel on SM, and I'm curious as to what all of them have to say about her. I mean, obviously I know how Nick feels about her (his comments were so sweet!). Also, I read that interview that JoJo did with US Weekly, read Ali's recent blog post and saw that comment that Ben made on Twitter, but does anyone else have an idea of how other alumni feel about her? I don't have the time, nor the patience to go sifting around through all of their SM accounts. Now that it's finally happened, Robby, Chase and Wells have to eat their words (and crow to boot)!! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see their reactions when they found out the news.
