Opinion | Jennifer Gerson: Colton Underwood threw out the rules on 'The Bachelor.' New 'Bachelorette' Hannah B. should do the same. - NBCNewsTHINK
Now that the 23rd season — yes you read right — of the ABC mega-franchise"The Bachelor" has reached its conclusion, it seems there’s nothing left to do but burn it all down and start from scratch. This show for once lived up to the hype and was inarguably “the most dramatic season” ever; there's really no topping this.
Or in"Bachelor" terms, he told her they didn’t have to get engaged and could just date, and he would basically wait around until she could be as in love with him as he was with her. For her part, she seemed to feel like she could relax, since all the other women were gone and the very premise of the show had been dismantled.
Colton and Cassie’s love story, as it were, was a public signaling that love couldn’t be"real" without the complete elimination of personal boundaries and contractual obligations, a grand romantic gesture of sorts offering the kind of external, public validation that a person living through an Instagram account in the year 2019 might need to show to themselves that they were, in fact, feeling things.
But next season’s bachelorette will be “Alabama Hannah” Brown, a.k.a. Hannah B., the girl who dubbed herself the “conductor of the Hot Mess Express.” With Hannah Brown, the franchise seemingly has on their hands an opportunity of a lifetime — the Platonic ideal of their desired mold of woman but is also completely camera un-ready and generally goofy.
