Bachelor Nation Reacts to Hannah B. as ‘Bachelorette’ — Was She the Right Pick? (POLL)
Hannah Brown has officially been named the next Bachelorette, but Bachelor Nation is mixed on ABC’s decision.
The 24-year-old was announced as the next leading lady during The Bachelor finale on Tuesday, March 12.
Though she didn’t make Colton Underwood’s top four this season, her bubbly personality is definitely the reason she was chosen.
“It didn’t happen for me with my first time around,” she told Chris Harrison during the finale episode.
“But I do believe that it can happen, and I’m just really just so grateful and honored that people saw my heart and that I get to continue showing that and that somebody will hopefully share their heart with me.”
Hannah also met five of her guys during the episode, who all seemed delighted to have her as the next lead. However, fans on social media were very divided.
“Tayshia should be the next #bachelorette, not Hannah B,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Is anyone else upset that Hannah B is the next #Bachelorette?” another person added.

“So many negative opinions on Hannah Being the next bachelorette and it’s crazy how people think it’s okay to knock a girl down for just being her genuine self. Bet if you were in that situation you would be just as speechless,” one person shared.
Some former Bachelor Nation contestants also reacted to the casting choice.
“I love her, but I feel like I had to be convinced on her for Bachelorette. I want to be friends with her. I think she’s cute and fun and quirky, but I just felt like I saw her in Paradise,” Bachelor 2017 alum Danielle Maltby told E! News.

“I felt she would be so great there. But, I’m excited. The more I hear of other people’s reactions, the more interested I’m getting in the new season. I think it’s going to be fun.”
Wells Adams added, “I’m happy for her. I’ve never met her, so I don’t really have an opinion on it. Here’s my thing. She went to Alabama. Hasn’t Alabama won enough? Can another college win something at some point?”

I’m pumped on this decision. I think Hannah B will be authentic and endearing. She will be insecure in relatable ways, and I am rooting for her.

Caelynn is more fake and she's not too classy for being the Bachelorette role.

Disaster of a pick, and regardless of how much they are trying to push her on us (NO WAY that many real people are "rooting" for her), for me, it isn't happening. Pretty much each season I say I am not going to watch, but then I start, and become engrossed immediately. This season, I watched the preview where she loses it, and about 5-7 minutes more, and then moved on to watch my recorded Billions episode. That's a first. Even though I knew from the moment they announced her as the bachelorette, that it would be my least favorite season, I expected to watch - but I just find her ridiculous and off-putting. Sad that this is what some people think all women are like, and this will further propagate that stereotype. Hopefully next season they'll find someone great, since it really is a guilty pleasure ... when there is someone worth watching.
