The upcoming season of ABC's The Bachelor features Grant Ellis, a day trader from Newark, who is seen as the archetypical lead. Unlike his predecessor, Jenn Tran, the first Asian American Bachelorette, Ellis is expected to follow a script of loyalty and humor, embodying a traditional and unexciting portrayal. The piece discusses the desire for a season featuring LGBTQ+ leads, particularly in light of the franchise's conservative casting choices, making a case for greater diversity and representation within the format.
Grant Ellis, a 31-year-old day trader, becomes the newest Bachelor, embodying the show's predictable archetype but sparking calls for a more diverse representation.
His history as a less memorable contestant on The Bachelorette contrasts with the hope for more engaging and diverse storylines, particularly a season featuring gay leads.
