Many Bachelorette fans would love to watch Peter Kraus hand out roses on the upcoming season of The Bachelor. Here’s why he shouldn’t get the gig.
What’s not to love about Peter Kraus? From the minute he stepped out of the limo on the Bachelorette premiere, I fell in love. Rachel knows what I’m talking about — blue eyes, handsome face, hot bod, and he’s a dog lover. Oh, and that smile.
I will admit, sometimes Peter appears to be flatlining. He’s so calm and seems to have his life under control. Not a bad thing. Especially when millions of people are watching your every move as you collect as many roses as you can in a foolish game called the Bachelorette. And if he fails to win Rachel’s final rose, should ABC name him the next Bachelor? No. Here’s why.
1. One word: drama
Honestly, I’d like nothing better than to spend my Monday nights watching Peter go on dates with 25 random girls. Kidding. He’s just too nice for the drama … and you know there will be drama. And there will be girls who join the cast just so they can promote Sugar Bear Hair vitamins on Instagram. I can’t let him fall for the wrong girl.
So, no. I’d rather watch him compete in the Amazing Race or Survivor. Shirtless.
2. Peter isn’t into speed dating
Let’s get real here. The Bachelor/Bachelorette is like the highway to hell when it comes to dating. You drive through rose ceremonies at lightning speed just to get to the final rose ceremony. After 2-3 quick dates and a quickie in the Fantasy Suite, you’re more-or-less forced to propose to someone. Or — even better —you get dumped and humiliated on national television.
Peter isn’t Bryan. He didn’t say he was in love on night one. And by the time he reached hometowns, he wasn’t ready to commit. Because it’s a game show. And the dates are brief. Hell, you don’t even get to eat the food. That would be a game changer for me — food is life.
Peter can’t be the Bachelor — he’ll get pushed into proposing someone because a fake happy ending makes “good TV.”
3. He’s already getting sucked into the Bachelor cult
Peter’s most recent Instagram post (below) made me worry for his well-being. Honestly, I’m heartbroken.
He’s promoting Fab Fit Fun boxes. Boxes full of stuff no one needs. Ugh, Peter. I’m disappointed. If he gets the Bachelor gig, the Wisconsin hottie may start promoting those ugly Diff sunglasses and Movement watches ad nauseam.
Stop it now, Peter. Get out while you can. Call me. Or call Dean. Oh, and speaking of Dean…..
4. What would happen to his BFF, Dean?
Peter isn’t a fan of Bryan, but he made fast friends with Dean. If Peter gets the Bachelor gig, he will be whisked away from civilization for a few months. That means no more bro-for-life meet-ups with his pal Dean for awhile.
Dean needs Peter around. After all, he got himself into a crazy love triangle while filming Bachelor in Paradise. Who’s going to give Dean advice if Peter’s flying around the world with a bunch of girls who don’t appreciate him as much as I do?
Am I wrong? Would you like to see Peter become the next Bachelor? Leave four reasons in the comment section below and I’ll reconsider.
