Kaitlyn Bristowe has lamented the departure of Chris Harrison, as the host will no longer be making a return.
‘The Bachelor’: Kaitlyn Bristowe Is Sad To See Chris Harrison Leave For Good
Chris, for his part, had been hosting the show for over a decade. Sadly, his response to the Rachael Kirkconnell scandal no longer made his position viable. But for all the enthusiasm building for his return, it is something that the fans will not be able to see anymore.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Kaitlyn expressed her ultimate respect for Chris. She said: “You are truly irreplaceable as a host. Thank you for all the years you put into this show and making it what it is. No one does it quite like Mr Chris Harrison.” Kaitlyn’s comments came immediately after Chris had broken the news.
There had been rumours that Chris would be making a comeback once the dust had settled down. This was also because of the decline in ratings, ever since he departed. And yet, it seems there was simply too much bridge under the water as the host decided to move onto other projects.
In an official statement to his fans on Instagram, Chris stated: “I’ve had a truly incredible run as host of The Bachelor franchise, and now I’m excited to start a new chapter. I’m so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we’ve made together.” With the news officially out in the open, rumours have already started on who could become Chris’ replacement.
Some of the names that are in the running are as follows: First, there is a real possibility that JoJo Fletcher could step in. She has the hosting experience, as shown by her show on CBS entitled ‘Cash Pad.’ In addition, she has the added benefit of having been on the show as a contestant.
Another outsider who could take to the stage is Rachel Lindsay. This is, however, going to be an unpopular choice as many fans resent her over the reaction she had to Chris’ comments on Rachael’s saga. Naturally, they blame her for being partly responsible for Chris’ exit. Time is not on our side, as the producers rush to find Chris’ replacement.
