Does he prefer white women. Didn't the last bacherlotte prefer white men..? I think that's a pretty big leap! Of the men that they put on her season, the final two that she liked happened to be white. But in her real life before The Bachelorette, she had dated almost exclusively Black men. Yes, Fanny! The casting process sucks. People are cast (before the lead is even chosen) for the character/drama/dynamic they will bring to the show and not because they are a good match for the lead. Think back to bip, who did she choose on that show? I thought it was posted in her thread, she seemed to prefer white guys, it's her choice.They need to vet their past, one only need look on their SM, this show imho, is lazy. |

Tayshia clearly hasn't made much of an impression on me. I had Rachel in mind when I responded. It wasn't until you talked about BIP and I thought "Rachel wasn't on Paradise" that I realized you were talking about Tayshia. LOL P.S. I actually think Tayshia was a good bachelorette. For some reason, though, I just don't connect with her. I think it might be because she always seems so controlled, and I don't feel like she really lets me know (as a viewer) who she is. |

I've always liked Tayshia, but she's always seemed a bit flighty to me. Not horribly to the point of being unlikable, but to the point of me just not taking her as seriously as I do others.
Maybe it's the fact that she's always seemed like her ultimate job goal is to be an "influencer". I just can't take that type of person seriously.
I wouldn't mind her taking her shot at being Host of this show. She's likable & maybe that would give her a focus for her likability.
The problem is that it might take it's toll on her new relationship. I believe Zach is a NY guy. Her being on the opposite coast so much could be a problem.
My second and third choices are Rachel & Wells.
Both are extremely likable with Rachel also seeming quite intelligent, observant and not afraid to speak her mind. However, not the yes-woman they might want.
Wells is down to earth & has an everyman way about him that both contestants & viewers can relate to & be comfortable with. His only problem might be that he's a bit too much like a Chris Harrison Light.

As much as I like Rachel, I don't see her as host either. Online, people have pretty much tuned out this season, because everyone seems to know the outcome. I don't like Matts beard, it looks awful. I was hoping he'd be a good bachelor, but it was boring for me.. I was hoping this season would draw me back in, if anything, it's put me off..for good. It's probably my age.. |

Rachel has stated she is done with the franchise after her contract expires. No to Tayshia. Wells may be Harrison light, but he may be too nice. Also, he may not want to be away in a quarantine situation without his fiancee.
Maybe the Fleissmeister can jump in - HA!

They apparently asked Rachel to host After the Final Rose, and she said no. (She's been getting a lot of harassment from Bachelor Nation. It was so bad that she temporarily suspended her Instagram account.) Rachel suggest Emmanuel Acho, who has been doing a YouTube series called Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man (and has just come out with a book of the same name). I've watched his YouTube show, and it's really good. He manages to talk about difficult subjects without being super confrontational but also doesn't sugar coat things. He was announced today as being the After the Final Rose host, and I'm very excited about it. I'll definitely plan on watching. www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-02-27/after-allegations-of-racism-bachelor-emmanuel-acho-host |

I think it’s going to be a very interesting show, knowing what we know now with Acho as host.

I don't know whether to put this here or in the Bachelorette thread, but Reality Steve posted today that there are going to be two seasons of The Bachelorette filmed this year. Katie's will start filming in a few weeks, then there will be Bachelor in Paradise, and then later in the summer (July likely) Michelle will film her own season that will likely be released in the fall like the Clare/Tayshia season). He said that the reason they didn't just go with Michelle in the first place is because she didn't want to leave her students again to film the new show, so they decided to work with her schedule and film a show with her as the lead after school was out.
He also said that he hasn't heard a lot about the After the Final Rose show, but from what he has heard, Emmanuel Acho did a good job, and he thinks people will like it. No word on who will be hosting any of the above-mentioned shows.

I'm looking forward to seeing that smile for a whole season. The reasoning makes sense too. I'm also looking forward to Emmanuel Acho hosting ATFR. Most of all, I'm looking forward to this season & all of it's painful garbage being over with. Hopefully Chris Harrison will still be "getting educated" during The Bachelorette. I'm not ready to see him back for at least a while. |

I like Michelle even more knowing that she refused to let the filming interfere with teaching her students. Here's hoping the producers don't screw her over with manufactured drama and sketchy guys, she deserves better (Katie too).

On either his podcast or his IG live last week, Reality Steve talked about how Big Brother hires a firm to do background checks, and how his former girlfriend Kat from Big Brother said that they had a 45 page printout of all of the things they'd discovered about her and wanted to go over anything that was controversial before agreeing to put her on the show. He said that this proves that it's possible to do a good background check and The Bachelor franchise just isn't making the effort. |

I finally saw a short promo for the finale, Matt was holding a silver ring, then he's sitting with CH. I can't remember much else nothing about ATFR that I saw..
CH says the usual, the most shocking end.

Reality Steve is saying that Greg Grippo is going to be the next Bachelor. Can't say I'm surprised! As soon as he went on Nick Viall's podcast to do the "mea culpa" redemption interview, I was pretty sure they were heading in that direction.
If, indeed, it does turn out to be Greg, it will be interesting to see if he can hold it together as the lead. It's entirely possible that he can, since being the lead is a whole different power dynamic. But even if he's a train wreck, the show will be happy. They just want ratings.
I'm guessing that they are hoping that this controversial casting will bring tons of publicity and interest.

If this is who they choose I'll probably skip this one too. I don't want to watch their problem children & troublemakers with bad attitudes acting entitled. I don't give a darn about watching them pretend to want to find someone, when in reality they are just looking for attention. Greg would be one of those. |

It seems that the producers listened to people's complaints about Greg. He's no longer the bachelor.
They are going with someone from Michelle's season. I think it was Variety that announced that the other day. Reality Steve revealed the name (with picures) today. Here's the link.

I wonder if their decision to announce Greg as Bachelor blew up in their face. The people who don't like him REALLY don't like him. Maybe there were some kind of problems with their other front runners & they were desperate to find someone. Since Michelle's season won't even start 'till after Bachelor filming begins, they couldn't wait for viewer opinion & had to pick fast. Along came this guy. He looks good, seemed decent enough, had no skeletons in his closet (as far as they know) so they figured "He's close enough". So now they're trying to pass him off as the greatest thing in pants out of desperation. I have a feeling he's not all that exceptional, but better than Greg. Anything would be. Personally, as far as the upcoming Bachelor season goes, I'm back in again & looking forward to it. Good luck to him & good luck to the show. Let's hope it all works out.  |

I don't think any of them are particularly exceptional, so he'll fit right in. I'm not into thick-necked square-jawed ex athletes, so he's not my cup of tea, but I just turned 70, so I'm hardly their target audience.  |

Ms Scarlett - I think Michelle's season just wrapped. The article said she left instagram for so many days and is now back on.

Now this makes me happy. Michelle was my favorite from the time she got there. Her smile & attitude light up a room. I'm looking forward to seeing that smile for a whole season. The reasoning makes sense too.
