'Love is Blind' Fans Are Calling for One Contestant to Become the Next Bachelor
By Lillian Marx
Let’s be honest, we’ve put up with our fair share of terrible Bachelors over the years. Peter Weber’s epic indecision throughout the current season is just the latest disappointment. Maybe that’s why fans of Netflix’s reality dating hit Love is Blind are asking a very important question: Is Kenny Barnes Bachelor material?
Netflix viewers were totally shocked when Kelly Chase dumped Kenny at the altar in the Love is Blind season finale. He was one of the sweetest guys on the show, and even though they didn’t get a fairytale ending like Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, his and Kelly’s relationship seemed refreshingly down-to-earth.
So maybe Kenny is heartbroken for now—but could America love him on The Bachelor?
One Redditor made a mock-up promo for Kenny’s hypothetical season, and it’s pretty convincing. “Kenny is a FOX,” was a typical reply. “10/10 would root for him.”Some fans were not so excited. “Absolutely a great guy, but I’d be more interested in watching paint dry than a season of Kenny,” wrote one.
Kenny did manage to get engaged to someone he’d never even seen, so it seems unlikely that he would do something flakey like, you know, eliminate Alayah and then invite her back on the show only to send her home again (ahem, Pilot Pete).
If Bachelor Nation listens to the people, we might be seeing Kenny again soon. In the meantime, there's a Bachelorette to pick!
