We all thought it was going to happen. Nay, we believed it was going to happen.
But then, it didn’t. It was snatched away from us. It was taken from our grips like the remote control out of a boyfriend’s hand when the clock strikes 8 o’clock on a Monday night. Just when we thought America’s heartthrob, Luke Pell from last season of The Bachelorette, was going to be our next Bachelor, Nick Viall came in and stole his thunder. ABC went down a dirty road of looking for drama over dreams, lying over love.
Yes, ABC chose Nick Viall to be our next Bachelor over Luke. Over a veteran in our armed forces, they chose a veteran of The Bachelorette seasons 10 and 11 as well as Bachelor In Paradise season 3. And to ABC, all I have to ask is this – how dare you? Especially after the story Luke told US Magazine about how he was actually supposed to be the next Bachelor, but Nick JoJo’d him.
We were all satisfied, had agreed to the contracts and everything was moving forward.I was checked in to my flight to come to L.A. I got a call from producers Sunday night at about 10 pm. They said ABC had decided to quote-unquote go in a different direction. I was supposed to fly out Monday morning at 9 am. I had my bags packed and everything. Most dramatic Monday ever!
I’m not saying Chris Harrison doesn’t support the troops, but I’m also not saying that there’s a reason Luke is sitting at home on his ranch rather than sorting through twenty-or-so women vying for his heart. You people disgust me.
Because the entire world isn’t a bunch of scumbags like this entire situation would lead you to believe, there’s a petition on Change.org vying for Luke to replace Nick and simply have Nick exist as supplemental entertainment. But do we really want someone taking Luke’s spotlight, or does he deserve his own? I think we all know the answer to that.
Stand up. Be heard. Shout from the rooftops. Storm the streets. Turn your backs to the television when you hear the The Bachelor‘s theme music come on. Just whatever you do, do not let ABC win this. Fight for what we deserve, and make sure Luke gets his shot at being The Bachelor. .

Luke is too good for the Bachelor. Nick’s season is going to bring out the craziest of the crazies, and I for one, cannot wait.
This guy is super boring. Plus Crick commenting on Pubes McGee every week is going to be pure gold.
Still don’t understand how Luke is single.
luke fucks
Of all the guys on the Bachelor, that’s the guy doing the fucking.
He a strong independent man who don’t need no woman.
So it’s not going to be Ryan Lochte?
Unless you ask Ryan Lochte.
It should have been Chase. Cracking a beer upon exit was the ultimate power move, would have been great to have a whole season of that.
Up until that exact moment he was about as riveting as watching paint dry.
I respect Luke for serving our country. However, he is boring to watch and Nick is really growing on me.
Agree. I used to really hate Nick when he was on the Bachelorette, but after Paradise I’m more ok with him.
Dude is boring as hell and has the most monotone voice I’ve ever heard. JoJo should have picked him for herself but he’s not Bachelor material.
Support our troops less, CaseofBells.
I read this title like Ron Burgundy read the teleprompter in Anchorman…Idk what that means for me.
Just spitballin here, but has ABC considered having two Bachelors or Bachelorettes at the same time? Could really make things interesting. And I’m going on record to claim this as RicoRumRunners’ IP.
That’s what the petition is for, though.
Luke seems like a real stand-up dude, and I appreciate his service. But lets face it, at this point in his life, he’s an aspiring country singer looking for his big break, and that’s why he was doing the show.
Nick is a no-brainer. He knows at this point that he’s never going to be anything more than Bachelor famous, which I think is good. And can you imagine how much fun they are going to have making up promos that make it look like he gets rejected a third time? It’s going to be amazing.
