With The Bachelor coming to an end very soon, Bachelor Nation is wondering what they can expect for the remainder of the year from the franchise. Specifically, what they can expect from The Bachelorette, which usually airs later on in the year.
While there are a lot of fantastic contestants on Joey Graziadei's season that would make great leads, few compare to Maria Georgas.
Maria is spunky, beautiful, and, most importantly, still single after not getting to the end with Joey. What's more, many fans would attest that she is the sole breakout star of Joey's season, which goes to show how popular she is with the fans of the franchise.
With all this in mind, Maria seems to be a shoo-in for the next season of The Bachelorette. But what does she think about it? Rumor has it, she wouldn't mind at all!
Maria is open to being the next Bachelorette lead
According to ScreenRant, Maria Georgas isn't backing down from a great opportunity, especially an opportunity that would make her the next lead for The Bachelorette.
"I'm in awe of it," Maria expressed. "I always wanted to be on the show, but not once did I ever think I could get the opportunity to be the Bachelorette."
Should things not pan out well for Maria to become the next lead, she's still open to returning to the franchise in some way. Next time, however, she says she's going to switch up her game.
"Maybe the second time I'd do it better. And I would get my head in the game," Maria stated. " Well, actually, I'd get out of my head."
Regardless of how things pan out, this may not be the last time we see Maria. But if this is the case, how do fans feel about the possibility of Maria being the next Bachelorette lead?
Fans are open to Maria Georgas being the next Bachelorette!
Although some fans feel that she takes a while to warm up to, for the most part, once people finally understand the fun that comes with Maria, they become huge fans of her. Even people who don't watch the show would love to see more of her!
"My friend who doesn't even know what The Bachelor is showed me multiple TikToks of Maria and Joey that are suddenly appearing on her FYP and told me 'I love this woman omg who is she'," one Reddit fan wrote. "Producers better not mess this up."
Another fan expressed in response to the Maria naysayers, "I think people had forgotten how much they love a lead who is okay being unique on camera. This reminds me of the hype around Hannah B, Kaitlyn, and Katie."
Hopefully, the professionals behind the Bachelor franchise will hear the cry of the people and will give the people what they want. Perhaps we'll hear some good news soon!
