The Bachelorette Season 14 Is the Worst
3 Reasons This Is the Worst Season of The Bachelorette Yet

People can hem and haw all they want over Jordan, but the real trouble in ABC's casting lies elsewhere. I don't think we've had a worse group of guys since JoJo's season, and Becca does not deserve this at all.
Let's start with Lincoln, who was convicted of indecent assault and battery a week before the season premiere. ABC could have easily figured this out, as the incident occurred in May 2016. Aren't they responsible for doing criminal background checks?
Then there's Leo, whose history in porn we might be able to let slide if it weren't for the fact that he also allegedly has a thing for sending unsolicited dick pics.
Also, Garrett — as sweet as he comes off on the screen — has exhibited bigoted behaviour on social media. After some sleuthing done by Redditors and former franchise contestant Ashley Spivey, it was revealed that he "liked" a series of homophobic, transphobic, racist, anti-feminist, and conspiracy theorist memes on Instagram and Twitter. He has since apologised but just . . . ew.
To end this on a positive note, I want to express my adoration for Wills, Jason, and Blake. My hope is that after this season is over, we can finally move on from Arie and that ABC chooses one of Becca'a exceptionally good guys to be the next Bachelor. A girl can dream!
