Rachel Lindsay

Since becoming The Bachelorette's first Black lead, Rachel has gone on to host MTV's Ghosted: Love Gone Missing, ESPN's First Take, a radio show called Football Frenzy, two podcasts, and is now a special correspondent for Extra.

Rachel also found love through Bachelor Nation; she's now married to Bryan Abasolo, who was a contestant on her season of the show. Rachel is adored by fans, is outspoken about the franchise's lack of diversity, has stayed part of the Bachelor Nation conversation through her podcast Bachelor Happy Hour, and has ample on-screen experience that she can channel into being the franchise's next host.

While we'd love to see her on the show again, it doesn't seem likely that Rachel would agree to host. "I think the bigger picture is that there is an issue and Chris is recognising it, other people are recognising [it], and I think if my message is to really make change and to really create a level of awareness, then I can't be focussed on trying to take somebody else's job," she told E! News. "I am just focussed on really us getting to a place of unity where we can all be better."

After all Rachel has given to the show, she should not be excepted to step up and "fix" the franchise's diversity issue.
