The Bachelorette: Bachelor Nation Cast Reacts To Taylor Being Named The Lead For Season 22

A few days ago, The Bachelorette revealed that Taylor Frankie Paul will be the lead of season 22. The announcement thrilled the audience, who reacted with visible excitement. Now the Bachelor Nation cast has also reacted to the news. “So excited for this! Rooting for you @taylotfrankiepaul,” Hanna Brown from season 15 commented under Paul’s Instagram video. Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, who found each other on Bachelor in Paradise, also commented.

​Tanner wrote, “Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in.” He further added with a photo of Paul, “Congrats @taylorfrankiepaul.” Jade commented, “So pumped for you @taylorfrankiepaul!!! You’ll do great!!” She further added, “And hoping you find your person!” “LETS DO THIS!!!!” Jesse Palmer, the host of Bachelor Nation, wrote with excitement. Twin sisters Emily and Hayley Ferguson also commented. Emily wrote, “This is EPIC, a season I won’t want to miss!!! Go find your girly husband!”

​While it seems that many are happy for Taylor, few seem to be questioning her casting as the next lead in the show. Sarah Herron has slammed the team for casting Paul as the next Bachelorette. She wrote on her Instagram, “I think they wanted to get viewership back, it is super easy. Just bring back Chris Harrison.” She further added that the show should feature genuine people in their late 20s to mid-30s looking for love. “And maybe include some – I don’t know – contestants with disabilities, more representation, and just bring Chris back,” she added.

​Sarah further added, “If ABC cast a man with a history of domestic violence and child abuse would there be just as much as excitement for this?” She continued that a fanbase that loves their performative outrage is just unreal for her. During the podcast, she responded to a question about whether she had personally told Dakota the news. She said she hadn’t and explained that it wasn’t her priority. She also remarked, “I can’t speak for him, but I’d assume it wouldn’t be the best news he’s heard on that day.” Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more The Bachelorette updates.
