Colton Underwood spills the tea on a possible LGBTQ+ season of The Bachelor
Colton Underwood has shared some insight on the rumoured LGBTQIA+ season of The Bachelor. Since its inception nearly two decades ago, the popular dating show has solidified its place as a reality TV mainstay, spawning many successful spinoffs, such as The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise.
While the franchise has been praised for its signature formula and romantic filming locations, many LGBTQIA+ viewers have called for producers to introduce a gay Bachelor.
Fortunately, the show’s creatives and some of its former stars, like Underwood, have seemingly heard their calls. During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the leading man of season 23 revealed that he has had conversations about the introduction of a gay Bachelor. “Yeah, I’ve had talks with some of the producers, but I think beyond just The Bachelor, there are so many other incredible dating shows that might even be more well-equipped format-wise,” he said.
While Underwood supports the idea of a gay-led season, he said the show’s established formula may cause some difficulties for the plan to be executed. “I think when you think about the format of The Bachelor, it’s tricky and hard.
