I think it’s a questionable choice to have the first black bachelor be a Republican who essentially became popular due to being best friends with one of the white contestants. Criticize me all you want for it but there it is.

After that let’s talk about the women- anyone standing out? Do the contestants actually come up with these gimmicky intros or is that facilitated by producers?

So black people aren’t allowed to be on the unless you approve of them? Or unless they got it through other black peoples- not through a white friend?

This is truly one of the most racist things I’ve ever seen anyone say on this site. Shocking. This is probably why robin d’Angelo said white liberals are the most dangerously racist people around. You really need to do some introspection. My God.

No, that’s not it. Look at the posted tweet above. That’s more in line with what I think, and a lot of POC commentators agree with me. There is a subreddit called Bachelor_POC and tons of similar comments. You can disagree with me but I am not racist for this standpoint.

These women are going bananas with the gimmicks. But I like the one with the goat feet, its funny to be so unsexy

LMAO! It was not a La Quinta motel! Didn’t you notice how nice it was? Every one had their own villa. It’s a resort- nothing to do with the low class motel chain.

Hahaha, this is a good laugh. Its a waldorf property, but honestly I only know that from working in travel for a while and definitely would have thought 'La Quinta???" if just watching the commercials for the show.

I think Matt is plenty attractive but he seems a little "meh". Not shocking, really, I knew lot of very tall handsome guys who kind of never had to be funny or anything because doors open for teens and young people who are good looking anyway. Plenty nice, don't get me wrong, but not someone you want to watch on TV (neither am I FWIW!)

I could barely watch. Cringey and boring. Not sure I can stick it out this season.

Wouldn't you assume that someone who changed party affiliation or dropped it during the last 4 years as an R would be decidedly anti-Trumper?

No, I think he knows he is going to get a lot of coverage and be scrutinized due to his role on the show, and he wanted to avoid the backlash.

This!

Also I’m AA and there are so many more attractive black guys that they could have picked. Even from the bachelor! He is just such a bitter face.

La Quinta Resort is actually a really nice spot in Palm Springs, not a part of the motel chain.

At least one of the contestants is 21. I think it is Kit, Cynthia Rowley’s daughter.

That explains how she got on the show. She seems extremely snotty and full of herself, and I wouldn't say is much in the looks department. I was wondering why she was so entitled.

I mean, it doesn’t always have to be about race, but he is the first black bachelor in the franchise (among male leads, not female). So it is being discussed in the media now.

Omg seriously? Who the hell cares? It’s a reality show. Either watch or don’t.

He is handsome but not cut out for this.
