We are only a few episodes into Zach Shallcross’ season The Bachelorettebut already, fans and producers were looking ahead to what will happen next the last rose was given.
As always, the internet is here Scholar spoilers, so we have a pretty good idea how the final Zach will play out.
And now, ABC may have accidentally announced the woman who will be the new face of the franchise.
The alleged bombshell came during an advertisement for next season’s contestants.
“Are you a single dad looking for a partner?” the narrator asks in place.
Yes, it seems that the franchise is going in a different direction and only casting a single father.
Not surprisingly, this led many fans to the conclusion that the next Bachelorette will be Christina Mandrell.
Christina is a vivacious single mom from Nashville who is popular with viewers — but it seems she’s not exactly what Zach is looking for.
She was eliminated by Zach in last week’s episode, and now, some fans are wondering if she’ll be choosing from the single dad suitors next season. The Bachelorette.
“Just giving me vibes it’s going to be Christina since she left and became a single mom!” one Reddit user wrote, according to British tabloid The Sun.
“I saw this on Monday night and was like omg does this mean Christina is the Bachelorette???” others asked.
Of course, finding a single dad doesn’t mean Christina gets the gig.
“Now I know they really want another single dad bachelorette (they’re trying to get Michael A. and Nate for this reason)… so I’m going to choose to hope that the single dad casting is more about the next BACHELOR than the next Bachelorette lol,” one the viewer pointed out.
“I can’t imagine they’d get the edits they did if they had plans to have them in the lead, but they probably ran a promo that week to get rid of them.
“At the end of the season, a lot is going to happen, so no one is going to ask to take Week 3 off to lead into next season.”
other viewers were less convinced, with some pointing out that the producers are probably smart enough not to give away their plans for the future of the show in such a boneheaded fashion.
“They cast a single mother for Zach’s season. Do you really think that the casting producers are mainly for the next lead? one person asked.
“He’s 100% trolling us,” said another.
“I think Brianna and Christina have a chance, but right now I’m thinking Kaity or Charity,” said a third.
Yes, Charity emerged as an early fan favorite, and it seems many Bachelor Nation residents would like to see her take the reins in the future.
Of course, we’ve made some progress here.
Zach hadn’t handed out the last rose, and he still had a long way to go before finding Ms.
