I Don't Like Caila, But I Do Want Her To Be The Next Bachelorette

It's about to get diverse at the Bachelor mansion.

I Don't Like Caila, But I Do Want Her To Be The Next Bachelorette

Now that Ben Higgins has finally picked which woman he loves more, we can talk about the next big moment in the red rose world: The next "Bachelorette." After last week's "Women Tell All" episode, the internet blew up about second-runner up, Caila Quinn, becoming the new Bachelorette. Once the rumor spread, people were freaking out, including my group chat of over-invested Bachelorette groupies. Caila may be super adorable, genuine, and radiates as the perfect domestic housewife, but viewers are going to want a Bachelorette with more sass and spunk. The dating show needs a Bachelorette to make Chris Harrison coin this season as "the most dramatic one yet" for a tenth time. But here is my confession: even though Caila is not my favorite either, I'm 100 percent pushing for her to be the next Bachelorette.

It's not a popularity vote with this one. Because if it was, I'd be rooting for Amanda all the way. Side note: She definitely needs to redeem herself after Ben -- and maybe myself -- cried when he escorted her into the limo rose-less during week eight. But anyway, Caila as the reality show's next leading lady is a lot bigger than being a fan favorite. She would be the first Bachelorette with some diversity. Finally a Bachelorette who is something other than just white. And for "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" franchise, this is groundbreaking.

I mean, what else is the show known for besides their dramatic conquests on finding love? The obvious lack of diversity. It been 20 seasons of "The Bachelor" and 11 seasons of "The Bachelorette." All leading up to 31 seasons of white people finding love and other ethnic contestants struggling to make it to hometowns. Actually, hometowns is a little ambitious; they're fighting to make it past week five. It's surprising with the ABC show's enormous hype that the only Bachelor/Bachelorette with diversity is Hispanic, former-Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis from season 18. Caila landing this spot can spring so many opportunities for the show and its viewers. Once people see a leading lady of a different ethnicity, this could bring more diverse contestants. Maybe we'll have a few more Latina contestants on the show. Or we might even finally have an African-American Bachelor down the road, if more diverse people are thrown into the ring.

The show is well overdue for a racial makeover. More diverse contestants will bring more diverse viewers. Plus, it's about time the franchise does something to squash it's racist label. So even though Caila might not be as dramatic and reality-personality as "The Bachelorette" producers want, it's all about the big picture. And if you watched any of the past "Bachelorette" seasons, you know that we can always count on the guys to bring the drama just as hard as the ladies.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
