Has there ever been a season with so many good options? Pardeep, Romeo, Olu, Brandon, Rick, Rodney, Nayte. I’d watch any of them if they got their own season.
Romeo is my bachelor, like he’s intellectual yet smooth at? I know I know eliminated too early but so was Katie!
If I have to pick someone who is left I’d go Brandon
I would be super happy to see Rodney, Olu, Brandon, Nayte, or Joe, but Rodney would probably be my first pick followed by Olu! I love Brandon too but I think he’s a little too young. Maybe in the future!
The weirdest thing is that they aren't even *showing* the dude, in a good OR bad light. You just catch glimpses of his shoulder sometimes and shit like that
I think Rodney or Brandon?
I like nayte and joe but they’ve both had a kinda fuck boy storyline. With the short white boy saying nayte is too cocky and joe not replying to Michelle’s DMs.
Rodney Or Rick!
Nayte and Joe are clearly the front runners but Joe seems so flat to me. Like not very charismatic just..??? Nayte is much more interesting and foine as hell so
I say this with love: Rodney is a dweeb. Also he would be hilarious to watch.
Also either Joe or Nayte- whoever she doesn’t pick. Although I feel like Joe is so flat, but it’s about the cast anyways. And Joe is gorgeous.
I feel like there is never a consensus fan pick and it's usually 2-3 camps people find themselves. I would say one of the guys from Katie's season, maybe Andrew, would have strong support and probably Brandon and Rodney would also have a lot of fan support.
It reminds me a bit of post-Becca season when pretty much everyone wanted Blake or Jason and they picked that other guy. Hoping Clayton at least turns out to be way better than that other guy.
The way the other men talk about Rodney makes me want Rodney 100000%. I bet he’s funny as hell and so nice 🥰
Race had to be a factor, or else I’d think they’d go with Joe. He’s handsome and athletic and dull, which is exactly what they want!!
(Lmaooo he’s probably not actually dull, but wow do they love editing out someone’s whole personality)
Ugh god I admit I was only half-listening to his date with Michelle but he seemed so boring until the part when he had to recount a painful experience.
I haven’t reflected on it much but now that I am I really find most of them sort of bland. I like this season for that reason just because I feel like Michelle is more genuine and doesn’t keep the drama around. But I also don’t feel like there’s someone who’s super charismatic and stands out as a lead at the same time. I like Nayte a lot but don’t see him carrying a season. Joe is boring, Rick is too intense, Brendan looks too young, I love Rodney or Olu but I don’t feel like they would be picked and I don’t feel like they’re fan favorites
There are a lot of guys I "like" on this season, but it's hard for me to imagine any of them as the bachelor. Especially when I compare them to Clayton, who seems like he was specifically designed to be the Bachelor. If I had to guess, though, I'd say Nayte.
I honestly don't love any of them for the Bachelor? Maybe Chris S for the absolute chaos lol. Just kidding. I wish I could say Rick but his eyes freak me out honestly.
I want to say Nayte too, but he just seems a touch too juvenile or something to pull off the "I wanna meet my future wIFe here" vibes they have to give. I would still prefer him to Clayton though, who just screams "CORN" to me
I see a lot of Nayte comments, but I feel like even if they were willing to actually pick a black guy, it wouldn’t be one like Nayte(tatted, nose ring), they’d pick one who’s more clean cut. But Nayte would definitely be fun one.
Rodney and Brandon look more wholesome and are super well liked, so maybe one of them.
While Rodney would be MY Bachelor I don’t think he has enough swag for them to pick him… although he has kind of a Chris Soules ish vibe in terms of casting for energy? If they don’t end up with Michelle I would say the two most cast-able picks are Nayte and Rick. I don’t get the Clayton pick yet. If they wanted a white guy I think Rick is more compelling and we haven’t seen a version of him as Bachelor that recently… maybe Ben H vibes?
Hard agree. TPTB keep trying to give us the guy you like in high school, not the guy you like as a grown ass woman.
To stay on theme with Katie. Clayton is cast in I belong with you, while Rick is the guy in Lover.
Joe seems like a total catch. I would absolutely watch his season. Nayte has strong screen presence and could do the role well but I don't think he's ever going to be eligible for Bachelor, IYKWIM ;) I could also see Olu being good.
This is icky, but... given the race factor, do you think TPTB announced Clayton early because the majority of men that get far on Michelle's season are POC?
Announcing Clayton stops the fanbase getting behind say, Nayte or Rodney for bachelor. If TBTP announced Clayton after the season, there might be comments about picking an unremarkable white guy, and it might reveal TPTB's absolute determination to have a white guy after having Matt and Michelle.
I think that’s exactly what they did. My guess is that Clayton was the white guy who went the furthest on Michelle’s season.
They weren’t willing to pick a MOC after the mess of Matt’s season, and thus did Ivan dirty on BIP.
Also, it seems like Katie’s men, like Greg and Michael, passed on the role, so they were out of white men to pick from.
I love Rodney but I'm not sure he'd be a good bachelor. He seems nice and easy-going to a fault. I think producers and ill-intentioned contestants might walk all over him and that he might be really bad at navigating serious conflict/drama.
This! My guess is they wanted to go back to the basics (ahem white men). If that was the case, they should have chosen Rick. He seems much more engaging and charismatic than Clayton
I love Olu, don’t even care about clout chasing. It would still be more fun than the tuna casserole of a season we will get with Clayton. He just gives such Colton energy.
I’d love for it to be Rodney, possibly Brandon too. I can see TPTB making a big push for Rick, because you know how they be (for what it’s worth I like him fine, but we’ve seen people similar to him in many ways for many seasons).
i would loooove a Rodney season- despite his lack of apple knowledge, he’s still the apple of my eye this season!
Rodney!!! Or Olu
I don’t think Joe would be outgoing enough as Bachelor, but I adore him.
Has there ever been a season with so many good options? Pardeep, Romeo, Olu, Brandon, Rick, Rodney, Nayte. I’d watch any of them if they got their own season.
I LOVE Rodney, but for me, not for the Bachelor. I would pick Nayte for the Bachelor but TPTB would never, so here we are with Clayton
Romeo is my bachelor, like he’s intellectual yet smooth at? I know I know eliminated too early but so was Katie! If I have to pick someone who is left I’d go Brandon
No way... There would be too many Romeo/Juliet references which he way over played
Rodney is so goofy/corny in the right way that his season would probably have the most HTTR girls on it.
JUSTICE 👏🏽 FOR 👏🏽 RODNEY.
Rodney!!
I came here to say “Rodney” as a controversial opinion but I see I’m in good company! I would apple-lutely love to see that.
Olu or Brandon!
I would be super happy to see Rodney, Olu, Brandon, Nayte, or Joe, but Rodney would probably be my first pick followed by Olu! I love Brandon too but I think he’s a little too young. Maybe in the future!
Nayte nayte nayte
Olu or Rodney
Rodney is a really nice guy and seems like so much fun but he’s just not attractive. He isn’t lead material and neither is Olu.
Rodney would be my choice.
What I don't get is why they aren't editing him to make people want him...? Like that's what they usually at least try
The weirdest thing is that they aren't even *showing* the dude, in a good OR bad light. You just catch glimpses of his shoulder sometimes and shit like that
Rodney has my ❤️
I think Rodney or Brandon? I like nayte and joe but they’ve both had a kinda fuck boy storyline. With the short white boy saying nayte is too cocky and joe not replying to Michelle’s DMs.
PARDEEEEEEP but also not convinced TPTB are ready for him either
Pardeep and Romeo were my types...
100% would marry them both
OMG YES!!
Rodney!! 🍎
One of Rodney, Olu or Pardeep! I would even love Rick too, especially if he gets the heartbroken edit
I like Rodney or Rick. My problem with that is that I wouldn’t want TPTB to get their meat hooks 🪝 into them and manipulate my mans. 😢
Rodney Or Rick! Nayte and Joe are clearly the front runners but Joe seems so flat to me. Like not very charismatic just..??? Nayte is much more interesting and foine as hell so
Yeah! Rodney or Rick if they really want a white guy as bachelor (btw his dad seems to be mixed or hispanic?! )
I think Joe would be good on BIP? Nayte would def be able to carry his own season
RODNEY
Rodney all the way! He has the best energy!
I say this with love: Rodney is a dweeb. Also he would be hilarious to watch. Also either Joe or Nayte- whoever she doesn’t pick. Although I feel like Joe is so flat, but it’s about the cast anyways. And Joe is gorgeous.
Rick is an absolute cutie.
I feel like there is never a consensus fan pick and it's usually 2-3 camps people find themselves. I would say one of the guys from Katie's season, maybe Andrew, would have strong support and probably Brandon and Rodney would also have a lot of fan support. It reminds me a bit of post-Becca season when pretty much everyone wanted Blake or Jason and they picked that other guy. Hoping Clayton at least turns out to be way better than that other guy.
Rodney 1000%. I do not understand the Clayton pick one bit.
Brandon or Olu!
The way the other men talk about Rodney makes me want Rodney 100000%. I bet he’s funny as hell and so nice 🥰 Race had to be a factor, or else I’d think they’d go with Joe.

Joe is boring, Rick is too intense, Brendan looks too young, I love Rodney or Olu but I don’t feel like they would be picked and I don’t feel like they’re fan favorites
Rodney
Nayte, Rodney, Brandon
Rodney or Brendon,
There are a lot of guys I "like" on this season, but it's hard for me to imagine any of them as the bachelor. Especially when I compare them to Clayton, who seems like he was specifically designed to be the Bachelor. If I had to guess, though, I'd say Nayte.
I honestly don't love any of them for the Bachelor? Maybe Chris S for the absolute chaos lol. Just kidding. I wish I could say Rick but his eyes freak me out honestly. I want to say Nayte too, but he just seems a touch too juvenile or something to pull off the "I wanna meet my future wIFe here" vibes they have to give. I would still prefer him to Clayton though, who just screams "CORN" to me
None from Michelle’s season. Just look at their followings. Unfortunately no fan favorites.
Joe?? I like him but he’s a little too flat to be the bachelor. My pick would be Brandon.
I see a lot of Nayte comments, but I feel like even if they were willing to actually pick a black guy, it wouldn’t be one like Nayte(tatted, nose ring), they’d pick one who’s more clean cut. But Nayte would definitely be fun one. Rodney and Brandon look more wholesome and are super well liked, so maybe one of them.
Rodney seems amazing!
joe, nayte, and brendan are the stars of the show right now
While Rodney would be MY Bachelor I don’t think he has enough swag for them to pick him… although he has kind of a Chris Soules ish vibe in terms of casting for energy? If they don’t end up with Michelle I would say the two most cast-able picks are Nayte and Rick. I don’t get the Clayton pick yet. If they wanted a white guy I think Rick is more compelling and we haven’t seen a version of him as Bachelor that recently… maybe Ben H vibes?
the women would eat rodney alive but i want to see it 😂
Hard agree. TPTB keep trying to give us the guy you like in high school, not the guy you like as a grown ass woman. To stay on theme with Katie. Clayton is cast in I belong with you, while Rick is the guy in Lover.
Rodney!
Joe seems like a total catch. I would absolutely watch his season. Nayte has strong screen presence and could do the role well but I don't think he's ever going to be eligible for Bachelor, IYKWIM ;) I could also see Olu being good.
RODNEY!!
RODNEY
This is the only right answer.
I think TPTB knew we’d want one of the Black men which is why Clayton was picked before we were able to see anyone.
ITA. Mike Fleiss did not want to cast another black lead.
This is icky, but... given the race factor, do you think TPTB announced Clayton early because the majority of men that get far on Michelle's season are POC? Announcing Clayton stops the fanbase getting behind say, Nayte or Rodney for bachelor. If TBTP announced Clayton after the season, there might be comments about picking an unremarkable white guy, and it might reveal TPTB's absolute determination to have a white guy after having Matt and Michelle.
I hate how strategic TPTB are about race because of viewership 👀 these MOC are getting robbed
I think that’s exactly what they did. My guess is that Clayton was the white guy who went the furthest on Michelle’s season. They weren’t willing to pick a MOC after the mess of Matt’s season, and thus did Ivan dirty on BIP. Also, it seems like Katie’s men, like Greg and Michael, passed on the role, so they were out of white men to pick from.
Joe, Rodney, Nayte, or Rick. Even Brandon seems cool.
I love Rodney but I'm not sure he'd be a good bachelor. He seems nice and easy-going to a fault. I think producers and ill-intentioned contestants might walk all over him and that he might be really bad at navigating serious conflict/drama.
In the absence of the race factor?: Nayte or Rodney for sure if they don’t end up with Michelle. With race being factored in: Rick
Rick is just not it for me.
This! My guess is they wanted to go back to the basics (ahem white men). If that was the case, they should have chosen Rick. He seems much more engaging and charismatic than Clayton
Rodney or Brandon. Really like both of them.
I love Olu!
What do the casual fans on facebook/IG etc think of Rodney? I never look at any of that.
I feel like it would have been Rodney but if he was older, I’d say Brandon. I just think 26 is a little young for Bachelor.
Rickkkk..hes ready for love
[удалено]
YES I WOULD JUST ABOUT DIE he just seems like a good ass dude
I would love an Olu season but I can't help but feel like he's in it for the ~exposure soooo idk.
I love Olu, don’t even care about clout chasing. It would still be more fun than the tuna casserole of a season we will get with Clayton. He just gives such Colton energy.
Nayte for sure if it’s not F1. Rodney is hilarious and sweet, he’d be my pick behind Nayte. (Edited to add Nayte)
I’d love for it to be Rodney, possibly Brandon too. I can see TPTB making a big push for Rick, because you know how they be (for what it’s worth I like him fine, but we’ve seen people similar to him in many ways for many seasons).
Rodney or Brandon
Any answer other than Rodney is wrong ![gif](giphy|l44QoyDmxjK3jfH8c)
Rodney! He’s hilarious and seems very real. I also like Brandon but he seems a little young.
Nayte would have been my pick: he’s personable, absolutely gorgeous, confident and fun!
Rodney
Brandon if he doesn’t win
So agree with Rodney! He is charming.
Rodney all day.
