Like if we’re just like throwing names out there? Sure. Kim Kardashian, Bachelorette. Love Drew Barrymore. Absolutely. Big fan. Golden Bachelor? Who’s single and in their 60s and a celebrity? Is Morgan Freeman single? Oh, I got one! Liam Neeson. I think he’d be great. Yeah. Big, big Liam Neeson fan. Also, the accent would be incredible. That would be fantastic. Golden Bachelorette? Oh.

Our Take On Bachelor Franchise Celebrity Spin-Offs
Celebrity Spin-Offs Could Make Great TV
Although it would be thrilling to see celebrities joinBachelorNation, and Jesse had some great choices, it could end in disaster. However,if the shows didn’t take themselves too seriously, they could be big successes.Flavor of Love, starring rapper Flavor Flav, andRock of Love,starring singer Bret Michaels, were huge hits for VH1 in the early 2000s. They featured the superstars looking for love in aBachelor-type format. They were highly entertaining, but they didn’t have the same gravity to them thatThe Bachelorshows have.
At times, theBachelorfranchise shows are way too serious, putting too much pressure on engagements. A celebrity spin-off would have a different feel, especially if someone such as Kim Kardashian took the lead. WhenThe Golden Bachelorettewas being cast, celebrities such as Susan Lucci, Kathie Lee Gifford, Martha Stewart, and Sharon Stone were mentioned as possible leads, andBachelorNation fans were intrigued by what that might look like.
