Not happy about Colton as #TheBachelor I’ve seen way too much of him already. He’s like Nick 2.0 and that worked out so well 😅 pic.twitter.com/FalpZHRk6A

You’re not going to tell that @BachelorABC isn’t going to run with the “virgin in the fantasy suite” thing. It’ll be “the most dramatic season in the history #TheBachelor,” which means it will be forgettable and so incredibly anticlimactic. Also, he’s boring. 🤷🏻♀️

I didn’t watch last nights yet but I know he was a jerk yet again. He’s too young and too immature and frankly I’m not sure I buy the whole virgin angle which you know is going to be s big focus. #TheBachelor

Nikki is obsessed with all things celebrity and dreams she is a long-lost Kardashian. You'll find her binging Netflix's latest 'must-watch' show with a jar of Nutella in one hand.
