The Bachelorfranchise could go rogue with the next leading man ofThe Golden Bachelor, andI’m concerned the difficulty of the choice may push producers away from my ideal candidate, Pascal Ibgui. ThroughoutBachelorhistory, there have been several leads who weren’t part of the franchise beforehand. In recent years, only a few leads have failed to appear on one of the franchise’s shows before landing a leading role. Matt James, the lead ofThe Bachelorseason 25, was chosen to participate in a season ofThe Bachelorettebefore becoming the lead, but didn’t because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other than Matt, Gerry Turner has been the only lead of aBachelorfranchise show in recent years who wasn’t affiliated with the franchise before his turn as the lead. Gerry was cast to leadThe Golden Bachelorseason 1, as there were no available former contestants who met the age requirements for theGoldenseries. While Gerry may have been cast to be part of the series, as soon as he becameThe Golden Bachelor,there were options forThe Golden Bachelorettethat came from his cast.The nextGolden Bachelorshouldn’t be quite as difficult to search for.

AlthoughThe Golden Bachelorseason 2likelywon’t be premiering for close to a year from now, the show’s production schedule has been released. Many are clamoring for moreGoldencontent afterThe Golden Bacheloretteended with Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple engaged. Despite knowing that the first seasons of theGoldenshows were released a year apart, many were hopeful the production schedule would move things up so there would be another season of the exciting series early in the new year. WithThe Golden Bachelorproduction schedule out, there should be an announcement about the next lead soon.

Even with so much time beforethe next season ofThe Golden Bacheloris released, there are a lot of decisions to be made before the season’s filming, like the lead of the next installment of the franchise. There are some facesBachelorNation would love to see, some they wouldn’t be interested in, and some they would never see coming. Despite the lead usually being picked from the last season of the opposite series,The Golden Bachelorseason 2’s lead could be someone thatBachelorNation is entirely unaware of. I have my picks for the nextGoldenlead.

While Jordan and Charles are both great choices, many were convinced that Mark Anderson would be the best choice for the nextGolden Bachelorlead. Mark,The Bachelorseason 28’s Kelsey Anderson’s father, wassomeoneBachelorNation begged to see onThe Golden Bachelorette, and his appearance wasn’t disappointing. Though many speculated throughout the season that Mark was a producer plant, they were happy to see him and hoped for the best for him.

I Think Pascal Ibgui Is The Best Option For The Golden Bachelor

His Self-Interest Makes Him A Great Candidate

Although he may not be everyone’s pick, I’m hopeful to seePascalas the nextGolden Bachelor.While he has yet to confirm that he’d be interested in taking on the role, I thinkPascal’s self-interest and understanding of what he wants in life would make him a great lead. The driving force ofThe Golden Bachelorand subsequent shows is meant to be the lead finding love, and Pascal would know what he liked, what he didn’t, and wouldn’t be afraid to speak up about it throughout the process. I’d love to see him have the chance to lead.

While Pascal seems like a great choice to me, I understand some have issues with him being the lead for a future season.Pascal’s time onThe Golden Bachelorettewasn’t great for everyone involved, but it was an interesting look at the way that the audience was perceiving Pascal. Rather than looking at him as someone who didn’t want to cause unnecessary pain or bring turmoil to someone else when he wasn’t feeling strongly,manyGolden Bacheloretteviewers saw him as a villain for breaking Joan’s heart. As a guy who speaks his mind, Pascal seems like a great choice.

Could The Bachelor Casting Team Find Another Unknown Like Gerry Turner?

Casting An Unknown Could Be A Mistake

AlthoughI’d like to see Pascal in the leading role, I’m worried about whatBachelorproducers and casting professionals will look for. While I believe they’ll want to see the best possible person in the leading role, theGolden Bachelorcontenders they’ve been left with from Joan’s season may not be what they’re interested in for the next season. I’m worried that producers could cast someone unknown like Gerry, who may not fit the role in the wayBachelorNation would be interested in. Even ifThe Golden Bachelorproducers like an unknown, viewers may not be happy with one.

While Gerry’s season ofThe Golden Bachelorwas full of highs, its lows were some of the lowest moments the franchise has ever seen.The Golden Bachelorended with an engagement, but themarriage between Gerry and Theresa Nist was overwithin three months of their live TV wedding. Despite knowing that things wouldn’t necessarily happen in the same way,casting someone from outside the franchise as the lead led to a difficult endon the first season, which could make it tough to sell to viewers for a second. I’m hopefulThe Golden Bachelorseason 2 works out well.
