The Bachelor Canada recap, episode 9: to cast a Bachelorette
Dear Bachelor Canada producers,
First off, a big congrats on a strong first season. We admit we were scared that Bach Can was going to be a budget version of its American inspiration (the Sass Jordan to their Paula Abdul), but instead you produced something that was equally glamorous, gossip-worthy and cringe-inducing (what is The Bach without a little cringe?). Plus, for our money Brad is cuter and funnier than any dude the U.S. franchise has been able to scare up, so congrats…now back to work! Because while the “After the Final Rose” episode confirmed that a) Brad and Bianka are still blissfully happy, and b) Whitney is still totally crazy, we know that you’re already looking to the next season—which means picking a Bachelorette.
Since Bianka told Tyler Harcott that she and Brad plan to marry “as soon as possible,” we’re going to assume that she’s out of the running. And after Whitney confessed that she wasn’t really into Brad for the whole second half of the show, our guess is she isn’t going to get the call either. Which leaves 23 women. Here are our top choices:
Chantelle
It’s good to have a gimmick, and Chantelle (a.k.a. the 25-year-old virgin) has one built in. Rose ceremonies, suitors, 25-year-old virgins…insert any number of deflowering jokes here.
Stephanie
The woman (a neuroscientist/model!!) sounds like she was invented for a James Bond movie. For whatever reason (perhaps the fact that she’s 32), Brad didn’t seem to give Steph much of a chance, but there are plenty of other dudes out there who would kill to.
Kara
Kara is amazing and deserves some sort of consolation for getting the boot before the Wicked Whit of the West. If we were betting, we’d say Kara is most likely to wear the Bachelorette crown next season. And don’t think we didn’t notice her makeover on the recent “Women Tell All” episode—could it be that she’s already being groomed?
Rebecca “Bubba” Harrison
If you have to ask “Why Bubba?” then you obviously forgot the season premiere. The foul-mouthed big-city real estate agent with a penchant for Betty Boop clothing was perhaps the most compelling reality TV personality since Omarosa from The Apprentice. A single episode was simply not enough. Bubba out!
And we’re out too, at least for now. But we’re eagerly awaiting another crop of love-starved Canadians.

Whitney had the opportunity to save her public image in this episode and instead she just reinforced the notion that she is plain crazy. Oh boo hoo, people are making fun of me and I don’t like it. People are calling you out because you are just not a nice person.
Brad a better option then a US bachelor ? Are you kidding me ?? US Bachelors are always have a successful career + the are “cute” and “funny”. At the end of the day Brad Smith is still a bartender @ Earls making minimum wage & to make matters worse now lives at his girlfriends parents house. This guy is far far far away for a catch.
He plays in the CFL…?
Okay….I haven’t seen them ALL but at least 4 of the US bachelors have turned out to be total douche bags ( I can’t remember their names) the first bachelor, major jerk. Jake Pavelka, douche, Brad Womack, anger management mixed with control freak yuck, and wasn’t there another bachelor that proposed to one girl then changed his mind and sought out the other one?….oh yeah and Andy who proposed then dumped the girl and he is still single dating Playboy bunny’s…
The US bachelor are not exactly GOLDEN boys…
I hope it’s NOT the Pastor chick Chantelle – anyone but her.
I think Chantelle should be the next bachelorete and she should only have Christian guys in the show, that has never been done and i believe you will get more ratings!!!!! Seriously!!!!
Ana from Ottawa should be the first batchelorette! She’s gorgeous enough to be a model, is kind and considerate and, as Brad says, she has a wonderful sense of humour.
hell no it better not be chantelle she is annoying. Im from the US, I have to admit the CA version is so much better than ours.
