They are. Mike has been getting a lot of calls on SM to be bachelor too. I do think they weren’t expecting Mikes popularity, or Tyler’s. I think they casted peter with him being the next bachelor in mind but funny enough I think Tyler and mike have acquired even more support than him to be the next lead. Even if peter was their plan I have a feeling the support for others is making them go hmmm.

I certainly hope that is true. As nice as Peter appears to be, he does nothing for me. Not to mention I feel like he is Ben 2 and I have already seen that boring show. I have not seen anyone like Tyler or Mike before, so I would prefer one of them.

Ben never appealed to me but Pete does so I’m trying to figure out the differences.
I’ve come up with: Ben announced himself as “unlovable” on his first 1-1 with Kaitlyn while Pete doesn’t appear to have self esteem/self worth issues. Pete is more spontaneous and relaxed. I always found Ben stiff even when he was engaged in his version of letting loose. IMO Pete is passionate about his work. I think Ben liked his job and was hardworking but his passion is his coffee company which didn’t come into being until after he was the bachelor. I find Ben preachy. When Pete spoke with problematic Luke on the 3-1 date, Pete showed real patience, directness, and dare I say the ability to dislike while still being respectful. Not preachy.
Ben and Luke are different guys to me.

I’m also good with Mike or Tyler being the next Bachelor. I’d prefer the next lead come from Hannah’s season.

Pilot Pete I'm sure is on the top of their list but I remember coming across this article in March. Now that I've seen a couple of epi's, they probably IMHO had Mike on that list as well, and I'd be happy about that. He came across so suave and debonair and mature to me. OTOH it could be political BS.

One last question: When will this franchise have a diverse Bachelor?

We talk about this. I do think you’re going to see a diverse Bachelor certainly sooner than later. You never want to make some promise and say the next one is going to be the first, because you just don’t know. If you ask me that question in May, maybe I will be able to make that promise. It does depend on the season but I think the bigger thing is is how the diversity quotient in the makeup of the contestants has changed. And that’s really where that’s going to come from. You’ve seen it now with all our recent Bachelors and Bachelorettes being open to dating all different types of people from different backgrounds, and having diverse contestants really going farther in the show. It’s wonderful that we’ve had a diverse Bachelorette, but do I think a diverse Bachelor is overdue? Absolutely. Will we see one? Absolutely. I wish I could tell you when, but sooner rather than later is really all I can say.
