Emily Maynard is the Next Bachelorette. Shocking? No. Dissappointing? Yes.
After rumors circulating furiously that Emily would be making a comeback as the next bachelorette, ABC has officially made the announement today on Good Morning America. Host Chris Harrison said, “I think she’s America’s sweetheart and I think it will be a home run.”
Emily Maynard was proposed to by Brad Womack in South Africa on The Bachelor Brad Take 2 season. It was one of the most heartfelt proposals in Bachelor history. Brad and Emily were madly in love but by the time After The Final Rose aired it was clear that the rose was covered in thorns and wilted beyond repair.
Emily gained a huge following as one of the most favorited of Brad’s season. The story of her late race-car driving boyfriend, Ricki Hendrick, dying in a plane crash leaving her ‘with child’ was as heart-wrenching as a back-story can get. The 25 year old southern girl practically received Mother Theresa status from the other women in the house. So ABC is giving Emily another shot at love.
I was a big Emily fan myself, but not sure I’m looking forward to her being the next Bachelorette. I pretty much had my fill of hearing about her daughter Ricki and how she has to do what’s best for her and Ricki and about how Ricki is the most important thing in her life.
This is one of those occasions when I like to blend my reality TV worlds into one and I would like to propose Kim Kardashian be the next Bachelorette!
Seriously, the girl clearly doesn’t do a great job of picking for herself, she’s single, so let’s help her out. It wouldn’t take much for her to improve on her last score – a 73 day marriage is not a high bar to set, even for The Bachelor/Bachelorette. It’s practically fail-proof!
Kim is far more entertaining than Emily. She’s a better dresser than Emily. Heck she’s probably even a better dancer than Emily! And just think about how fun the home town dates would be! Scott, Rob and Lamar could grill the guys over the coals.
I have already confessed that I’m a bit bored with Ben this season. Emily might bore me even more.
Although if douchie Bentley from Ashley’s season shows up as one of Emily’s suitors, this could get interesting! Bentley was verbally bummed that Ashely was not Emily when he appeared on the show. And we watched this dog shit all over Ashley, quickly earning him most loathed contestant ever status. A little angel and the devil could make for good television I say.
Are you happy with their choice of Emily for the next Bachelorette?
