He stays till the end but doesn't go to the FRC.

So like Nick without being a two time runner up on two different Bette seasons.

SCMIIW, but I think Colton said it isn't religious, but because he wants it to be with the right person, someone he sees as part of his future.

@petesiepoo I'm pretty sure you are correct, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that at all.

@GuardianAngel Commendable actually, imo. Wow, It takes situations like this to make me think about how much the world has changed since the 50s. When a single person is considered strange because they haven't had sex yet...

No man, just no. 

For me of the choices, it’s Peter or Ben 2.0, or I’m peacin’ out.

I might be ok-ish with Jason, but yeah, prob a douche.

Colton? Yeah, no.

@sosleepy and I'm the opposite... I have absolutely no intentions of watching Benji or Peter (though he'd still make the list before Benji.  Benji's a flat out NO!)  And honestly don't want to even have to sit to SC them in the previews

I'm hoping for Jason cause he seems the most likely to pull off a season worth watching, IMO.  IMO, Blake is too nice and would be easily manipulated by TPTB so he'd be the female version of Becca.  Nothing wrong or bad with him or her, I like them both well enough, just not the most entertaining to watch.  As for Colton, I don't dislike him but the more he opens his mouth the less I believe him But he'd still be on my watch list before Benji and his poop rag or Peter.

Ben or Peter give me the hopes of the most compelling seasons, as far as who they’d pick, how it would play out, etc. I think both have large mass appeal to women (especially Peter), and when the women are genuinely interested, that’s what makes a good season, to me anyway. Ben treated his women well, he was a good conversationalist. I’m curious to see how he treats the role 3 years older and nearly 30. Peter is juuuuust mysterious enough, and the women would lose their minds.

Blake is a man child. He’s too mushy, and I wouldn’t take 25+ women fighting over him seriously. 

Jason is probably an investment banker douche bag IRL. He could put on a decent season, and might be able to pull it off.... but I’m guessing he could be Flapjack 2.0. Flapjack was also loved on Ashley’s season, lest we forget.

I have absolutely zero interest in Joe. I don’t understand the appeal there at all. I have no investment in a guy I saw for 5 min on the premier. I get we will also see him on BIP, but meh to the meh. Not interested.

Colton the Virgin, overproduced Bachelor with the Tia backstory on the third rendition of this show in a row??? Hell no. I think that’s a hard pass for me. Everything this guy does seems to be premeditated and produced. 

So yeah. Give me Peter or give me Ben. The end.

Last year I was hoping for Rashad Jennings. Still have him on my wish list. Sure it’s out-of-order to have someone as lead who hasn’t been a contestant but peeps have crossed over from the franchise to DWTS so my vote is to do the reverse. Plus he is a known athlete so it would be old school like when Jesse Palmer was lead.
IMO he would be fun to watch and seems to be a good catch.
Obvs I’m not keen on any of the likely choices so I’m going rogue.

@sosleepy well send me updates and stuff to snark at by pm, I wont be watching if its either of them

Or for that matter pretty much anyone besides Jason (he's the best option IMO if we have to pick from existing bach nation dudes), even if he's a jerk

sounds good, we’ll be in touch   


No worries though, I never get what I want with this franchise. So that probably means Bachelor Colton here we come

I’m just very curious as to what lead you to think that from what we have seen and know from Jason...he has been quite a class act so far and seems more together and accomplished than many others. ‘Douche’ Or ‘ Jerk’ are pretty negative adjective to label someone and as much as I can understand that everyone has different opinions, these words show an aversion that I just don’t understand.... along with a ton of people who think he has been a breath of fresh air on our screen. Please enlighten me...
