Bachelor 22 - Speculation - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Discussion

Robbie?..I'm all for metrosexual males but imma need a bachelor who doesn't take more time than 99% of the female population to get ready. plus he looks plastic to me

Just so my words don't get twisted against me further, I'll repeat them from earlier.

IMO Bach nation is not coming out strong for PETiocre.
I guess there is time for that to change.

So imo, this has nothing to do with social media following, but how ex-cast do or do not support and whether or not that will change as time comes closer to selection.
I hope this helps.

I think I'm confused about what Bach nation is. I thought it was the fans not ex-cast. When CH refers to Bach nation I thought he was talking to me. 

I always took it to mean past cast. From three sources below it appears to be ex contestants.

I thought Bachelor Nation was everyone, former cast, viewers fans etc?

Yes. Bachelor Nation wouldn't be very big if it was only ex contestants. I always took it to mean the general audience/fans of the show. They wouldn't be going on for 30+ seasons in the various incarnations of the show if Bachelor Nation was just ex contestants.

hold up, has josiah's name been suggested? I think he would make for a very entertaining bachelor. I don't know how much of a catch he is with his cockiness but I'm selfish enough to want him for his commentary alone

So.many.horrible.choices. IMO

Dean is so hard for me to watch. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but if it HAD to be between Dean and Peter...yup...(I just can't bring myself to type the actual words )

I'm all for Josiah. Josiah before Eric, Dean or Peter if we have to have from Rachel's season. His commentary is very entertaining. But I am not sure the producers like him enough to become the Bachelor. Or the fans for that matter. But on paper, he is quite the catch.

As much as people like Alex, I don't know if he is aggressive enough to be the bachelor.

But I do wish they go with someone not from Rachel's season. There are many attractive guys from her season but none I would truly like to see as Bachelor.

I like Eric during the show but post-show, I see how hard he seems to be lobbying for the Bachelor gig and Bachelor fame in general and it's quite a turn off for me.

I know the feeling. :shootme:

@Kashathediva @MiaHawk which is why I say bring on RoSe, some one from the past before shilling/becoming an influencer was right/only reason to go on the show or give us someone new altogether.

ETA: and yes, I realize that that is what Robby and Chase do these days, but they make me laugh when they're together. Individually, I'll pass... Though I lean a little more favorably towards Chase than Robby, but just a teensy, tiny bit.

I do think they are floating Wells out there via his bartender (non-dating) BIP role. So far we have seen Dani M talk about how he is such a good friend maybe she should be dating him, they showed Wells rush over to console Kristina after Dean gave her the cold shoulder, Evan in his ET (?) interview (where he said not to choose Peter for TB) gave his endorsement to Wells, and we got to see Wells as a groomsman to Evan. I kind of see Evan as the golden boy of the moment of this franchise, coming off of his TV wedding to Carley. His opinion is probably valued amongst former cast, too. Also, the fact that Wells is in a non-dating role means no messy edit for him, almost a guarantee for a good edit IMO. So, I am keeping my eyes open to other clues that they might be thinking Wells. Personally, I'm kind of neutral to Wells. I am not drawn to him as a lead, but he is a bit different from the past leads, so there's that. And best of all, he is not Peter or Dean.
