Bachelor Hopeful Doug Gives 'Let's Goooo' to Fan Dreams
23 Mar
Summary
- Doug Mason responded positively to fan support for Bachelor lead.
- The Bachelorette's Taylor Frankie Paul's season was canceled.
- ABC may delay The Bachelor or select a past contestant.
Doug Mason, who was engaged on Taylor Frankie Paul's recently canceled season of The Bachelorette, has expressed openness to becoming the next Bachelor. A screen grab revealed Mason responding positively with "Let's goooo" to a fan's comment rooting for him to take on the lead role.
Paul's season was reportedly filmed but its airing was affected by a domestic incident involving her and Dakota Mortensen. This cancellation has disrupted ABC's plans for the franchise.
Sources indicate that ABC had considered casting one of Paul's finalists as the next Bachelor, provided they gained sufficient public recognition. However, with The Bachelorette's cancellation, these options are no longer viable.
Consequently, ABC is reportedly contemplating either delaying the upcoming season of The Bachelor or selecting a candidate who has previously appeared on the show. Mason also released a statement offering support to Paul during this difficult time.
