Why Luke Needs To Be The Next 'Bachelor'

It's not just because he's handsome, but that helps.

Why Luke Needs To Be The Next 'Bachelor'

JoJo's season of "The Bachelorette" has brought more than a handful of charming men to America's attention. And with the finale quickly approaching, we all want to know: Who will be the next "Bachelor?"

Last week's episode saw fan-favorite -- and my personal favorite -- Luke Pell get sent home moments after professing his love for JoJo. Heartbroken and stunned, Luke left the show with his heart in his hands and no one to give it to. It was perhaps the most difficult goodbye this season had to show.

But if you ask me, Luke deserves another shot at finding love. Here's why Luke needs to be the next "Bachelor:"

1. He's a hopeless romantic.

After climbing into the car that would take him home, Luke stared at the camera and said, "I was in love with her; but I never got the chance to love her, and that's what hurts the most." I'll admit, that's when my heart broke for him, and I may have shed a tear or two. Luke saw forever with JoJo, and, unfortunately, she didn't. He wanted everything to be perfect, right down to the moment he told her he loved her-- and in the end, it turned out he held back by doing so, and thus he was sent home.

2. He's a handsome country boy.

Let's face it: "The Bachelor" has a type when it comes to casting. They look for an All-American country boy for America to fall in love with. Look at Sean Lowe, Ben Higgins, Brad Womack, Jake Pavelka, Chris Soules...the list goes on. Luke fits in perfectly with this type-casting and even takes it in a slightly different direction with his rugged charm.

3. He was a fan favorite.



Everyone was rooting for Luke. He is just a likable guy. Crowning him the next Bachelor would not only boost ratings but also give America another chance to watch him fall in love, and perhaps finally get the happily ever after he deserves.

4. He still wants to find love.

In an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter," Luke said, "I would be excited about [being "The Bachelor"]. I’ve seen firsthand that it worked, going through this whole process with JoJo and I. I was in love with her. It happened so fast, but it was real at the same time. It was real for us and it was real for me. So, I would be open to it again because I know it works." Being on "The Bachelorette" hasn't made Luke cynical, and it hasn't turned him off to being in love. He still wants to find someone to spend the rest of his life with, and he genuinely believes he could do that as the next "Bachelor."


I'm all for giving Luke the chance. He's open and genuine, and America just really seems to like him. I think following him on the second part of his journey to love will be heartbreaking, overwhelming, but ultimately heartwarming and joyous in the end. Here's hoping.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
