Bachelor Nation, we may have a problem.
Listen, there's no denying that Rachel Lindsay is arguably one of the best Bachelorettes the franchise has ever had. She's confident. She's poised. She's emotional. She's smart. But many viewers feel like her crop of suitors this season on The Bachelorette just aren't up to snuff. (Don't even get us started on Whaboom. Or Blake. Or Lee.)
Which, of course, is a problem for Rachel. For sure. But it's also a major issue for us, the humble residents of Bachelor Nation, as each lead has been picked from the previous season since, with Nick Viall being picked after his fan-favorite appeared on Bachelor in Paradise. (The last time the lead wasn't was Brad Womack in season 15, but only because he was the Bachelor who infamously chose neither women in season 11).
Sure, there are a few standouts from the current season, and that's a somewhat generous use of the term, but are there any that truly excite you as the next Bachelor? Let's take a closer look at the viable options…minus Lee Garrett, because DUH.
Who do you think should be the next Bachelor? Any favorites among Rachel's men? Let's talk it out on Twitter, @tbrick2 and @eonlineTV.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
