Ive got a few suggestions.

The Bachelorfranchise is in decline.

And theres no better place to start than the lead of the flagship series.

The next season ofThe Bachelorwill tell us a lot about what lies ahead for the franchise.

Lets hope this crucialcastingdecision is the first step in a major turnaround for the franchise.

The role of the next Bachelor is wide open, and there are roughly zero promising prospects.

The men on the upcoming tenth season ofBachelor in Paradisewill contend for the role this summer.

Currently,Jonathon Johnsonseems to be the most likely candidate.

So how about reaching back into the annals ofBachelorhistory and calling on afan favoriteto lead next season?

Considering the showsabysmal success rate, there are plenty of unmarried men to choose from.

Or perhaps they could give a previous unsuccessful lead likePilot Peter Webbera second shot at love.

Maybe the best Bachelor wouldnt be from Bachelor Nation at all.

A celebrity lead would certainly renew excitement in a franchise thats gone stale.

What aboutGlen Powell, a widely beloved movie star and a noted fan ofThe Bachelor?
