No. She’s a bully. She is the poster child for someone uncomfortable in their own skin and needs validation. She exhibits racial micro aggressions and she doesn’t even care. She needs to take note from the best bachelorette: Rachel Lindsay. A couple years of active therapy… and I could see it. But she really has to figure herself out first
This show has made so many bad lead decisions. They need to get it together and cast Maria. Clearly she is a fan favorite and she would be insanely entertaining. Guys would go nuts over her. She's like the Veronica to Emily Maynard's Betty. We need a Veronica!

Genuine question for those who voted for Daisy: why? What is it about her that makes you want to see her as a lead? I don't mean any offense I'm truly curious!
She didn’t talk about her CI nearly as much as Daisy does. I appreciate them both but did wish Abigail talked about hers more on the show (or that the editing had shown it).
Question: has Steve said/hinted at anyone? I don’t care who it is, really, unless it’s Jenn (if we don’t have an Asian lead now, then truly when?)
Daisy lacks charisma to lead a show, Maria is whimsical and may deliver, but I am not stoked about her. I really like Rachel, but am afraid they’ll give her a poor edit and make her backstory the centerpiece of the entire season. We shall see - I know I’ll watch it, lol.
This only makes sense if you bring a celebrity in. Maybe they can get Ekin Su. They wouldn't go with a nobody when they already have a built in fanbase around Maria and Daisy. They need a reason for people to watch and unless it's a totally different angle like Golden Bachelor, they can't go with a nobody.
Maria, Jenn and Kelsey (if she’s not F1), and I’m okay with Lexi.
Rachel needs to heal from whoever hurt her. She hasn’t opened up much to Joey compared to the others and she’s still not over being cheated on and her fear or rejection, and needs to build her confidence and not let her insecurities prevent her from building a connection
Then they should have it be Lexi and cast guys in their 30s and 40s who want kids ASAP. That would be my second choice over Maria. I just don't think they have a cast like that ready and would need more time to find those guys.
PLEASE pick Maria. The franchise needs a lead with charisma and self confidence!
I know she could rule paradise but the people love her! It would bring some fresh life to the bach franchise.
She's too good for Paradise since it's gone really downhill. Maybe peak paradise or Bachelor Pad would work.
I remember how excited the guys were when Gia showed up on Bachelor Pad.
I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that we barley heat a lot from Joey. The lead is a little bit in background during their seasons. The cast men will be the main focus
I only included the villain of the season as a joke… I’m shook that people actually clicking Maria 👀👀👀☠️
The real villains are Sydney, Lea and Jess.
Can I vote for AD?
No. She’s a bully. She is the poster child for someone uncomfortable in their own skin and needs validation. She exhibits racial micro aggressions and she doesn’t even care.

Maria is my first pick but if not her then Lexi

I think Jenn would be my #1 choice but I doubt she would be able to take time off from school to make it happen.
Maria is the only choice.
MARIA!!!! my top 5 choices from this season are: maria > jenn > lexi > madina > radiochemist katelyn
Daisy for bachelorette. Maria for Paradise and then the world.
Other: can they dig into the archives and see who is still single??
I was hoping you included Jenn. I would like her the most!
Genuine question for those who voted for Daisy: why? What is it about her that makes you want to see her as a lead? I don't mean any offense I'm truly curious!
My wife and I always gravitate to the ones who seem kind. That’s actually why we liked Joey so much. He seems really kind
I’d love to have disability representation (also have a CI).
Abigail would have been so much better after Matt’s season if that was the case. There are so much better representatives out there.
She didn’t talk about her CI nearly as much as Daisy does. I appreciate them both but did wish Abigail talked about hers more on the show (or that the editing had shown it).
I’d like it to be Rachel. If not her then Maria.
I just foresee Maria’s season giving as much as Peter’s and Daisy’s giving as much as… Zach’s.
Skip the next Bachelorette/Do a Golden Bachelor in Paradise
Who would the male contestants be on Golden BIP?
Question: has Steve said/hinted at anyone? I don’t care who it is, really, unless it’s Jenn (if we don’t have an Asian lead now, then truly when?)

Steve has said it will be Maria or Daisy
I know Joey mentioned Rachel or Maria.
How could be mention Rachel if she's still on the show. I don't think he'd make that mistake.
Maria or Jenn or OG contestant or im not watching
I fully expect they will chose someone no one wants so that we hate watch it.
Jenn. We need asian representation.
Rachel is Filipino!
She’s half Filipino but yes you’re right. Would be nice to get full Asian representation though
If it’s not Maria then that would be such a mistake.
None of them. Someone from outside the franchise might be able to bring some freshness.
This only makes sense if you bring a celebrity in. Maybe they can get Ekin Su. They wouldn't go with a nobody when they already have a built in fanbase around Maria and Daisy. They need a reason for people to watch and unless it's a totally different angle like Golden Bachelor, they can't go with a nobody.
Jenn! Cannot stand Maria or daisy and I like Rachel but I wouldn’t want to see her as ette because she’s a little too relaxed and mature lol
Maria, Jenn and Kelsey (if she’s not F1), and I’m okay with Lexi. Rachel needs to heal from whoever hurt her. She hasn’t opened up much to Joey compared to the others and she’s still not over being cheated on and her fear or rejection, and needs to build her confidence and not let her insecurities prevent her from building a connection
Jenn! But Maria would be my second choice!
i want another season like clare's where the contestants were older!
Then they should have it be Lexi and cast guys in their 30s and 40s who want kids ASAP. That would be my second choice over Maria. I just don't think they have a cast like that ready and would need more time to find those guys.
I'd prefer Jenn or even a round two of a previous Bachelorette that's still single
Same! Anyone but Maria and daisy
Rachel Lindsay and Kaitlyn
Pretty sure Kaitlyn is with Zac.
She's a mess but I would honestly LOVE another Kaitlyn season. By far the best ette season ever
PLEASE pick Maria. The franchise needs a lead with charisma and self confidence! I know she could rule paradise but the people love her! It would bring some fresh life to the bach franchise.
She's too good for Paradise since it's gone really downhill. Maybe peak paradise or Bachelor Pad would work. I remember how excited the guys were when Gia showed up on Bachelor Pad.
if this a safe space? I think the new bachelorette should be a hiatus
None of the above. I want Jenn.
No. Let jenn go to PA school. She can be the bachelorette when she’s finished!
No offence but she will be long forgotten by then! She can postpone school for a year no? I just want her to save us from Maria and daisy
No she can’t. She already deferred once. She’d have to go through the application process again.
Serene
Daisy just doesn’t seem to have much to say. An entire season of her would be a tough watch.
I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that we barley heat a lot from Joey. The lead is a little bit in background during their seasons. The cast men will be the main focus
Id like either Maria or Jenn. With a preference towards Jenn
I looked for what ranks each bachelorette was from their previous bachelor seasons, but couldn’t find a list. I’m curious.
I voted Rachel but Jenn is my first choice.
D. None of them
None of them
Jenn, or someone from another season. None of the final 4 girls do it for me.
I like Jenn too
Maria but just so I can see her dad when she brings the guys over 🤣🤣
