Interesting. I think the more that has been sleuthed the more I don't want to go into the season being too attached to one guy. This is the first season in ages where I've actually liked the lead and am not just watching so I can figure out who i'd like to see as next lead. Anyway I'm looking forward to watching and not fast forwarding through any of the dates, even the guys I end up despising like usual.

She may work real well with a younger guy like Dean, but is he really ready to get married? According to Rachel, that was one of her criteria, unless she wasn't being honest with herself. And I've been seeing a lot of love for Dean on instagram all of a sudden. I wonder what that's about...

@mobyz Well I think I read he lost him mother quite young so that might have change him we wont know until the season goes along. Things life that are life changing.

Well thats interesting that some think age denotes readiness for kids and marriage. For all we know he's desperate to have kids in the next year or two and wants to be a young dad. Its funny because if a girl even younger than him expresses that it would be seen as normal. I guess we'll just have to see.

Oh please! That wasn't even a dig at Rachel Just stating what I think will happen. The show needs to hype up this season for various reasons. It's obviously historic and its also a lead who's not "SM savy" as some may say. I'm expecting a season with loads of controversy since that's TPTB's new agenda. More controversy and less love story.

It's not the age that's the problem with Dean IMO, it's maturity. His 'joke' never offended me but I thought it was a dumb thing to say when meeting someone for the first time, and may be a sign of immaturity. But I think he's harmless and had good chemistry with Rachel on their 1-1 from the videos we saw so I'm mostly reserving judgement.

@cila51290 i was genuinely curious who the fan fave was as i did not watch a whole lot of Nick's season.

I personally think the show will find a new audience with a black lead. Abc's black lead shows have no problem with ratings.

Exactly! We will find out soon enough if Rachel thinks he's ready for a serious relationship.

@BlackHalo I don't even know to be quite honest. The cast was pretty meh to me. I'm just excited Rachel will bring a variety of men. I hope TPTB don't screw this up.

I'm really looking forward to it. I can also really imagine a final 2 of someone who i really like now vs a Dean for example and by the end of the season I'm screaming for her to pick Dean because my initial thoughts were wrong.

So, someone posted a picture of a bentley on the Geneva instagram page similar to the one Rachel posed with on the pic MK tweeted a few days ago.  We already speculated that the pic was taken in Switzerland.

I'm seeing so many people comment on the fact that they have never watched before but will tune in, especially on social media platforms where i never see the show mentioned normally.

I guess the first night ratings for her will be interesting and then to see if those viewers stick around. I'm readying myself for Black twitter
