"I refuse to watch... no thanks. Didn’t he cheat? Who would want him after that," a different user wrote, referring to the cheating scandal he was embroiled in during his time on Married At First Sight.
"That’s a no from me. But I suppose he can be with more than one woman at a time. Right down his alley, he will enjoy it. Next, it will be Ryan. Please get away from these want to be people."
"Oh god no! What a waste of a season. I'd rather watch gorillas at the zoo 24/7."
Another quipped: "If he is the Bachelor I will start a GoFundMe page so I can create my own Bachelor show where he WILL NOT BE the Bachelor. What a waste of a show. If he is. 🤣"
In spite of this, a few Australian reality stars rallied around Dean, with both Davey Lloyd and Jessica Brody admitting they'd definitely be tuning in.
"Get it Deano," said Davey who appeared on both The Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise. Meanwhile, Bachie star Jess kept her comment short and sweet, writing: "☝️."
While nothing is set in stone at this point in time, a Network 10 insider recently told New Idea that producers are waiting to see how Dean rates on the upcoming season of DWTS before they enlist him to sign on the dotted line and hopefully.
