There is nothing I like more than being right. And now I get to combine that with one of my other favorite things, The Bachelor. I’ve been calling that Rachel would be the next Bachelorette since week 1 and now… well, let’s just say “I TOLD YOU SO!”
Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Rachel, a lawyer from Texas, was announced as the next Bachelorette.
Given that the news had leaked earlier in the day, it wasn’t really that big of a shock. But there was one surprise: Rachel wasn’t sent home on last night’s ep, meaning that she’s technically still in the running for Nick’s heart. Which makes the timing of the announcement really fucking weird. Why wouldn’t ABC wait until next week, after the hometown visits? We now have to assume that that’s when Rachel gets the boot, right? Which I’m imagining happens simply because her judge father simply can’t compete with Corinne’s Raquel and her cheese pasta.
Odd timing aside, Rachel being the next Bacheloretteis a big deal for two reasons: announcing the next contestant before the current season ends is a first (never mind doing it while someone is still on the show), and Rachel will be the first person of color to headline the long-running reality dating series. She was also the first black contestant to ever get the coveted “first impression rose.” Seriously – it took the franchise 15 years and 33 seasons for either of those things to happen, which is depressing when you think about it. Go get em…but, for the love of god, please stop dancing all the time. It’s embarrassing. .

Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, documenting her love of all things cheese related, and hosting the new PGP podcast Don't Take It From Us. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.

Would.
Rachel & Vanessa are the “bring home to mom and dad” girls, Raven is the girl you dated in college but never would be in a long-term relationship with and Corrine is the ultimate “one night stand, brag to your friends/show them pics on Instagram and then never speak to her again” girl.
The story about Vanessa being a failed actress tainted her forever. Now I can’t help but think of her as the girl way out of your league whose number you get at a party, and you’re feeling really good about yourself because of how well you hit it off, but then within a few texts she invites you to her multi-level marketing scheme
Rachel is awesome. I’m not happy about the leak but I’m really excited for her season!
Maybe she did win the Bachelor and instead of looking for “the one,” they will have her look for a side piece. Didn’t think about that.
Maybe Nick gets denied…again.
Damn, that’d be awesome
ABC PLEASE
I hope
Thank god, I was getting worried they would actually go with Corrine. She is made for Paradise. Booze, naps, laziness, bartenders/servants and non-stop boning with rando’s has Corrine written all over it.
Makes sense, she is the most normal contestant still left.
Based on what she said about her father, I’m excited to see that fucker. I feel like he gives zero fucks and is cut from the same cloth as Todd’s father.
Black Twitter and Bachelor Twitter is gonna #MakeTwitterGreatAgain
She’s in my buddy’s wedding this summer. Will try to score some inside info for the Bachelorette/Bachelor bookmakers.
I knew there was a reason she was kept on the current season.
Why don’t you show yourself out?
