Clare Crawley’s Bachelorette Season Could Be the Best Thing to Happen to the Franchise So Far
Clare, at 39, is the oldest lead The Bachelorette has ever had, and just one Bachelor, season six’s Byron Velvick, was older, at 40. Rachel Lindsay was beforehand the oldest lead, at 32. Hannah Brown is the youngest at 24. The youngest Bachelor ever is Jesse Palmer, who was 25. Extra just lately, Nick Viall and Arie Luyendyk Jr. have been each 36.
Whereas issues have doubtless modified, the preliminary announcement of Clare’s solid was slightly worrisome. Ages ranged from 23 to 42, and that 42 year-old is the solely particular person older than Clare amongst the solid. 5 of the 32 males are 25, and solely seven are older than 30. Twenty-one of the introduced suitors are greater than 10 years youthful than Clare.
Whereas a lady courting a youthful man is completely acceptable, a solid that’s nearly completely means youthful males feels unfair. It looks like a solid that wasn’t created for Clare, like maybe the males have been solid for a single former Bachelorette who’s presently 25.
Rachel, the subsequent oldest Bachelorette, did not get a contestant youthful than 26, and not less than six of her suitors have been the identical age or older than she was. She ended up fortunately married to 37 year-old Bryan Abasolo, the oldest contestant on her season. Clare deserves the identical likelihood.
