Fans of The Bachelor are reportedly upset at the rumored next leading man seeking love on the series.
On Wednesday, August 29th, 2018, Steve Carbone, the blogger known as “Reality Steve” who’s built a reputation for spoiling reality TV for the masses, tweeted out who the next Bachelor on the popular show will be. According to him, barring a last second switcheroo, that man will be none other than Colton Underwood…
Who is rumored to be the next Bachelor and what controversy surrounds him?
After the recent season of “The Bachelor” came to an end, rumors began swirling about who would be the next lead for the popular dating show. However, many fans of the franchise were left disappointed and frustrated when news broke that the rumored next Bachelor was not someone they were hoping for.
Multiple reports have suggested that the frontrunner for the next Bachelor role is Greg Grippo, who was a contestant on the most recent season of “The Bachelorette” which starred Katie Thurston. While Grippo received significant attention during his time on the show, many viewers were divided on their opinions of him.
Before the rumors were even confirmed, fans of “The Bachelor” franchise started to express their frustration on social media, with many demanding that ABC choose someone else for the coveted role. Some took issue with Grippo’s behavior on “The Bachelorette,” while others argued that there were other contestants who were more deserving of the role.
One point of contention for many fans was Grippo’s emotional outburst during a one-on-one date with Thurston. The scene quickly went viral and sparked debates online, with some viewers accusing Grippo of manipulative behavior and others defending his actions as genuine.
Many fans also pointed out that there were other contestants from Thurston’s season who would make a better lead, including fan favorites Andrew Spencer and Michael Allio. Spencer in particular has been a popular choice among viewers, with many praising his upbeat personality and overall likability.
In addition to the controversy surrounding Grippo himself, some fans have also expressed frustration with the lack of diversity in the selection process. “The Bachelor” franchise has faced criticism in recent years for its lack of diversity, with calls for more representation both on and off screen. Some viewers have argued that choosing Grippo, a white man, as the next lead is a missed opportunity to showcase a more diverse range of contestants.
While ABC has yet to officially confirm or deny the rumors about Greg Grippo being the next Bachelor, the backlash from fans is undeniable. Whether the network chooses to listen to their viewers remains to be seen, but it’s clear that many fans of the franchise are not happy about the potential choice.
