The Bachelor Fans Are Not Happy About the Selection of Colton Underwood
What about Jason? Blake? Grocery Joe? Anyone!
On Tuesday, ABC announced that the star of the next season of The Bachelor will be Colton Underwood, a virginal 26-year-old former NFL player who came in fourth on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette and then got entangled in a very unpopular storyline on Bachelor in Paradise where Tia Booth tried in vain to force him to fall in love with her for most of the season. Watching them bicker and cry for hours on end was tedious and unlikeable television. But for some reason the franchise is all in on Colton, much to the dismay of the fanbase, who is very tired of him. Fans would have preferred other guys from Becca's season like Jason Tartick or Blake Horstmann, and took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
And the next Bachelor is Colton! #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/p1Sx3xW0Ux

My hope now is that they pull a Kaitlyn Bristowe vs Britt Nilsson and announce Blake as the bachelor too! 😂 #TheBachelor #BACHELORINPARADISE

So the producers were listening when we went crazy for Grocery Store Joe, but now all of a sudden they can't hear 🤔🤔 #JasonforBachelor #TheBachelor

There was some support for Colton, but it was mostly coming from one person. Look, this is almost the same tweet from two accounts.
Y'all need to chill out. Is the WoRsT cHoIcE fOr BaCheLoR really a guy who respects women, has a successful charity, and is open to showing and talking about his emotions? Get over yourselves #TheBachelor

PLEASE TELL ME WHY everyone is upset that Colton is the new bachelor? He respects women, has a charity that helps kids, and loves dogs. What more could you want?? #TheBachelor

Seriously, these were the only positive tweets I could find.
Lol I've been on Twitter searching for anyone who is supportive of Colton being the next #TheBachelor and there's actually no one 😂😂

But I'm still going to watch, and you are too. Don't say you won't.
Raise your hand if you don't want Colton to be the Bachelor but will be watching anyway 🙋🏼♀️ #Bachelor #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/vbMpIhvuXS
