Apparently, Idris Elba was traveling abroad as filming began for Season 20 of The Bachelor.
I mean, no offense to this season’s titular suitor Ben Higgins, but how else to explain a member of His Perpetually Tipsy Harem* shouting, “Here’s to the hottest man in America!” in the show’s new trailer, first posted by E!. (*A+ idea for the name of all-female cover band that plays nothing but James Bond themes, if I do say so myself.)
In other news, Ben will apparently attempt to win the hearts of twin sisters — which would be disconcerting in a Hallmark Christmas Movie scenario or even a Doublemint ad, but is almost unbearably creepy here, given that ABC‘s reality-dating franchise goes for a “real life” sensibility (fireworks, helicopter rides and Neil Lane engagement rings notwithstanding).
Oh, sure I’m judging — but that doesn’t mean I won’t be watching.
Press PLAY below for the trailer, then hit the comments with your thoughts — and a “Yea” or “Nay” on the twinsies.
Idris Elba? Hottest man in America? Slezak drinking tonight. Expect a very long Voice recap later.
20 Seasons of White Bachelors.
Idris Elba is BRITISH. He’s probably not travelling ‘abroad’ – he lives there.
So, he’s probably only the ‘hottest man in America’s when he’s IN America. Which, most likely, isn’t all that often.
I love Idris too! I really though that after the success of Empire ABC would cast a black bachelor. I guess it’s just never going to happen.
This show is so gross, just look at the casting.
This guy looks like Charlie Sheen in his younger years. Hey this guys is also surrounded by a bunch of Goddesses. Nice! SMH
Although he is definitely not “the hottest man in America,” there is only one “Perfect Ben,” and his last name is Roethlisberger, as any loyal Pittsburgher will tell you!
yeah
