Bachelor 26 - Potential Lead - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Truth is if a lead is 37…. Why not casting women of 37?

I would personally love watching more mature contestants of 35+

Not 1 among a bunch of 20s….

A number of guys who appeal to Katie hold absolutely no appeal for me, and Michael A. is one of them (I'd also put Connor B. and Greg in that category.) The Yiddish word that approximates how I feel about them is "nebbish" -- "a person, especially a man, who is regarded as pitifully ineffectual, timid, or submissive..".  That may not be the most apt descriptor, or even at all fair (especially with Michael A. being an entrepreneur,) but that's how they come off to me. Decent guys, but IMO zero sex appeal.

I think that a Bennett season would be wildly entertaining. I don't know if he would find lasting love (most of the Bachelors don't,) but IMO there would be a lot of fun along the way. Maybe they could even start traveling again?

I would watch a season with Bennett, I like him; but I would love to watch a season of Dr. Joe.

I tend to like when they cast "older" contestants too, but perhaps the lead is interested in having children? Then I think having younger women in the mix is ok.

Bennett’s Ivy League snob routine was funny for a couple of episodes, but quickly turned sour when he started to use it to belittle and bully others. Also, his SM activity of lately has given him the nickname “Cringe King”.
From a season with so many great guys, he is one of the absolute worst.

It would sure be a new thing to make the villain of last year the new lead, without even a BIP redemption.
I wouldn’t watch though.

Age spoiler aside, Michael seems to be the frontrunner if he stays long enough. Greg is the most popular on SM, but he probably won’t be as well liked at the end of the season. If Blake isn’t F1, he could also be a contender.
I’d love to see Dr. Joe, but TPTB never gave him any attention. Ben Smith is mostly forgotten, and the other prominent guys from Tayshia’s season will probably be in relationships after BIP.
All JMO

I have zero interest in seeing Bennett as TB. I think he's too full of himself to make a good lead.

I could see them wanting Michael A since he's getting a good edit as of right now. He came across really well on the BHH podcast although I was taken aback that he started dating 5 months after the death of his wife.

I vote for Dr. Joe as the next Bachelor. Mature, sexy, smart...

Joe Joe Joe !

Andrew please!!

I think Andrew would be a good bachelor. He's seems so mature, knows what he wants, and I really like how he handled himself last night.

If he was, the lucky F1 would live in Europe for half the year!

I remembered it was posted a producer followed him back in April. I went to look for the post. When I look at the producers IG, his bio doesn't strike me as someone who would tag along with a contestant. OTOH I haven't kept close tabs on what other jobs handlers  have.

Producer
Award winning filmmaker, TV writer/producer, telepath and street fashion vigilante.

Why would a producer follow him while he's still on the show? I would think he would wait until after he's eliminated, or filming is wrapped. Thoughts on this one?
