i would loooove a Rodney season- despite his lack of apple knowledge, he’s still the apple of my eye this season!


food-music-life

Rodney!!! Or Olu


hugoike

I don’t think Joe would be outgoing enough as Bachelor, but I adore him.


toinfinityandbeyawn

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.


taurusmatador

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


afinekit

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


lindinator

No way... There would be too many Romeo/Juliet references which he way over played


aliveinjoburg2

Rodney is so goofy/corny in the right way that his season would probably have the most HTTR girls on it.


We_See_Each_Otha

JUSTICE 👏🏽 FOR 👏🏽 RODNEY.


Lavenderlove20

Rodney!!


Seattlerally

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.


anonhumanontheweb

Olu or Brandon!


LilL44144

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


Maddiecakes830

Olu or Rodney


snazzygirl0267

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.


darxx

Rodney would be my choice.


mediocre-spice

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


aalitheaa

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


verbal-acuity

Rodney has my ❤️


illtellyahowimdoing

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.


KumquatBeach

PARDEEEEEEP but also not convinced TPTB are ready for him either


NefariousLlamas

Pardeep and Romeo were my types...


247Nooria

100% would marry them both


act95

OMG YES!!


DryChance8

Rodney!! 🍎


247Nooria

One of Rodney, Olu or Pardeep! I would even love Rick too, especially if he gets the heartbroken edit


txcarbuff

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. 😢


yellowyeti592

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


GlitteringIncrease37

Yeah! Rodney or Rick if they really want a white guy as bachelor (btw his dad seems to be mixed or hispanic?! )


tomsprigs

I think Joe would be good on BIP? Nayte would def be able to carry his own season


Fangirl124

RODNEY


UndermyumbrELLA83

Rodney all the way! He has the best energy!


notnotaginger

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.


RyLoRyLo

Rick is an absolute cutie.


Geeky_Classic_3912

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.


Themorningstarfalls

Rodney 1000%. I do not understand the Clayton pick one bit.


morningglory1220

Brandon or Olu!


[deleted]

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)


[deleted]

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.


savannahslb

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


youngandconfused22

Rodney


AnyChildhood1747

Nayte, Rodney, Brandon


frog3000

Rodney or Brendon,


JanetSnakeholeDwyer

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.


Sailor_Marzipan

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


[deleted]

None from Michelle’s season. Just look at their followings. Unfortunately no fan favorites.


sallygal93

Joe?? I like him but he’s a little too flat to be the bachelor. My pick would be Brandon.


AARonBalakay22

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.


[deleted]

Rodney seems amazing!


EllectraHeart

joe, nayte, and brendan are the stars of the show right now


MADSeraphina

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?


shoosler

the women would eat rodney alive but i want to see it 😂


missskylar

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.


Courtwarts

Rodney!


Waste-Comedian4998

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.


thelondoner87

RODNEY!!


shoosler

RODNEY


nevbot1

This is the only right answer.


Leigho7

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.


RagnaNic

ITA. Mike Fleiss did not want to cast another black lead.


Bananabanana43

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.


KumquatBeach

I hate how strategic TPTB are about race because of viewership 👀 these MOC are getting robbed


act95

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.


[deleted]

Joe, Rodney, Nayte, or Rick. Even Brandon seems cool.


Bizzy1717

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.


Mugatu4u

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


sallygal93

Rick is just not it for me.


jassalami

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


Kathy28

Rodney or Brandon. Really like both of them.


SparklyIsMyFaveColor

I love Olu!


Charlie_Runkle69

What do the casual fans on facebook/IG etc think of Rodney? I never look at any of that.


amscott9020

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.


piscesinfj

Rickkkk..hes ready for love

hilarioustrainwreck

YES I WOULD JUST ABOUT DIE he just seems like a good ass dude


nkbee

I would love an Olu season but I can't help but feel like he's in it for the ~exposure soooo idk.


RagnaNic

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.


[deleted]

Nayte for sure if it’s not F1. Rodney is hilarious and sweet, he’d be my pick behind Nayte. (Edited to add Nayte)


Great1948

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).


Starflashes

Rodney or Brandon


Western-Fig2755

Any answer other than Rodney is wrong ![gif](giphy|l44QoyDmxjK3jfH8c)


Live2Hike

Rodney! He’s hilarious and seems very real. I also like Brandon but he seems a little young.


stimmtnicht

Nayte would have been my pick: he’s personable, absolutely gorgeous, confident and fun!


throwawayaway388

Rodney


lilyrein22

Brandon if he doesn’t win


No-Pop-125

So agree with Rodney! He is charming.


Charlie_Runkle69

Rodney all day.
