Trista Sutter has cast doubt on Katie Thurston becoming the next lead on The Bachelorette.
‘The Bachelorette’ Spoilers: Trista Sutter Speaks On The Chances Of Katie Thurston Appearing As The Next Lead
In an interview on the Here for the Right Reasons podcast, she said: “I do think she’d be a great Bachelorette. I have heard those rumours [but] I just don’t know. I feel like it’s pretty early even though [Mike] Fleiss has been on Twitter saying announcements [are] coming soon. I do love Katie. I think she would be great.
“I think that [she has] so many parts of what I think make traditionally make great Bachelorettes. She is authentic; she’s willing to get down deep into her thoughts and share those thoughts, you know, expressing what’s going on with her. I would really love to see her, but I’m thinking that she’ll probably be on Bachelor in Paradise if that show ever comes back.”
And Trista praised Katie even though Matt James sent her home. She continued: “I reached out to her on Instagram and just was like, Thank you for being levelheaded. Thank you for standing your ground, when there are people who are choosing not to be so nice. I appreciate her.
It’s a bummer that she’s gone. But also, this is really about Matt.
“And you could tell the chemistry between them — compared to the chemistry between him and Rachael [Kirkconnell] or him and Michelle [Young] —it’s just not there.” Trista then signed off by saying how all the cast members from Matt’s series, have a lot to learn: “They think it’s a competition, and I have never lived by that theory. I didn’t live by that theory when I was on the show. My whole thing was, I’m going to show you who I am.
“If you show me who you are, and you think that we’re compatible, and you think that I’m your best match, awesome. I don’t know if the girls came in, like, with this competitive thought process on how the show is supposed to be, or if some of them are just making mistakes. We’re all human.”
