(SPOILER): I know ABC has made last minute changes in the past so it’s not technically official, but after the Paradise reunion taping yesterday, I’m hearing that they will be announcing the next “Bachelor” soon and it will be Colton.

Oh just great... Pick the guy who don't even know how to kiss and I will leave it at that... ; (

And suddenly, just like that, every single Jason fan thinks Blake wouldn’t be so bad after all, and every Blake fan is like “Jason would be good.”

I am secretly hoping that ABC falsely leaked this... for this exact reason

For real. I was so disappointed when I read Colton's name. Hopefully RS is wrong on this one.

NOOOOOO! OMG! I just saw this... hopefully it’s a rumor...after all these appearances for Colton, I think most people are fed up...he is overexposed...I think he is NOT ready to settle down yet, too inexperienced and young. Makes no sense. Nothing really against the guy just the timing is all wrong. Maybe they are purposely spreading rumors to stir the pot and have reactions from people. I’ll believe it when I hear the OFFICIAL announcement.

If this is true, I feel like Tptb are trying to find as many ways to put Tia on TV as possible.

I'm not interested in seeing any more of Colton on my screen. I wish him well, I just don't want to see him as TB. He's not the answer to the Linc and Leo scandals. BETTER casting is.

Heck next to Colton the elderly Walmart greeter man is looking good.....

Spewed coffee reading this. Most posters would do anything to avoid seeing Ben 2.0 and then the rumor that it's Colton. What a way to get us to accept what we don't want!

I usually avoid posting in the normal discussion threads, but I don't believe I have ever dreaded a pick more. I've been let down in the past after watching a season, but I usually don't have this amount of negative feeling from the onset. Colton is probably a nice guy, but IMO he is completely inexperienced and ridiculously overexposed. If I have to hear about his virginity or Tia again...
       
I choose to work under the assumption that this is a diversionary tactic.

wow tptb must really really want a sean 2.0 season? they must have a story board already - will colton lose his v- card at fantasy suites or will he lose it to the girl he chooses?
