When it comes to the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise, I am the ultimate fan. I just can't help myself. There is something so enticing about watching a show like that. I guess it's the hopeless romantic in me, or maybe just the fact that the drama is too good to pass up. Regardless, you best believe that ABC has my attention every single Monday night. As we reach the end of Jojo's season of the Bachelorette, we must wonder - who will be the next Bachelor? There are a few signs as to why the GORGEOUS gentleman from Texas will get his shot. Here's why:
In the past, Bachelor producers often choose their lead fella from the group of guys on that current season of the Bachelorette. Most often, they place either third or fourth. While there are exceptions to this rule, that is just what is seen most often. Luke Pell (spoiler alert) finishes fourth this season in an unexpected elimination before the fantasy sweet dates. Trust me, when I say unexpected, I truly mean unexpected.
Going off of that, each Bachelor must have a good story. For example, Chris Soules (aka Prince Farming) was looking for a girl who could handle the small town life of a farmer. Then there was the "Perfect Ben" (get it? Instead of Perfect 10? Lol) Ben Higgins himself - and many others before him. ABC has to have a Bachelor that they can spin a whole series around, and Luke is their kind of guy. I'm not sure which direction they will go off of, his military background or the fact that he had his heart broken, but ABC will figure something out. They always do.
They must be someone that the fans positively respond to. Initially, this season of the Bachelorette was supposed to feature Caila Quinn as their leading lady. However, when the news of this casting leaked out, the fans didn't respond as enthusiastically as ABC hoped. Which therefore led to the casting of Jojo Fletcher. Luke already has a very positive response from the Bachelor fandom, who are all, for the most part, supportive of him taking the role. I mean have you seen how gorgeous he is? How could anyone not be supportive?
Not to mention, Luke Pell is one heck of a guy. There are so many reasons why he would make an incredible Bachelor. He is sincere and genuine with his feelings. He mentioned on the Men Tell All episode that he is a hopeless romantic, and always waits for the right time to tell a girl he loves her. Saying that he wants the moment to be special and memorable. I can tell he has a good heart and good intentions. He has a great family and a strong head on his shoulders. Not to mention, he bravely served our country in the Afghan war. He is the full package, as host Chris Harrison described him before the show aired. If Chris can give Luke his stamp of approval, then I would say it's pretty much official.
All in all, there are many great guys out there - but Luke Pell was born to be the Bachelor. Jojo made a crucial mistake sending him home, and now it's time for him to find the love he deserves.
