00:00Former Bachelor contestant criticizes new Bachelorette Taylor, Frankie Paul.

00:06This wasn't the right decision. The season 28 star dished.

00:10The Bachelor franchise threw fans a major curveball today, September 10th,

00:14when they announced the newest Bachelorette on Alex Cooper's call, her daddy podcast,

00:20ultimately opting for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul,

00:24rather than an alum of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise.

00:28Given the fact that Paul was arrested for domestic violence in 2023 and is divorced with three children,

00:35the reactions have certainly been mixed when it comes to the Utah native being cast as the next leading lady,

00:40but one Bachelor alum is unamused for different reasons.

00:43Taking to her, TikTok, Lexi Young, who fought for the heart of Joey Grazia Day on season 28 of The Bachelor.

00:50Returning to our television screens for season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise,

00:54shared her thoughts about this decision, and overall just the entire franchise.

01:00Needless to say, her comments were far from positive.

01:03Keep scrolling to see what she had to say for yourself.

01:06While Young did not address any of Paul's controversies,

01:10she instead addressed the fact the Slum Star being cast as the next leading lady takes.

01:15Okay, hi guys.

01:16I don't usually talk on a lot of things in the Bachelor world,

01:19because quite frankly, after Joey's season, I went back to my 9-to-5 that I've been working at all,

01:24which never 9-to-5, as we all know,

01:26but my corporate career that I've been working for 11 years,

01:28and I started my own business.

01:30And it is just such a special show.

01:32I truly believe the reason it's such a special show

01:34is because they take regular people,

01:36and then they give them a platform that's completely uninterrupted to find love, she explained.

01:41I think one of the reasons it's been so successful in the past

01:44is because you're just taking people out of their regular life

01:47and putting them into an environment where they can meet someone

01:50that they might potentially be compatible with.

01:52The Ohio Native Continuum.

01:54You get to uncover all of these different storylines and amazing stories

01:57about these normal individuals that seemingly

01:59would never have an opportunity to do this if it wasn't for the show.

02:03You just get to meet these incredible people

02:06and fall in love with the characters on the show

02:10that they might potentially be compatible with.

02:11And you get to uncover all these different storylines and amazing stories

02:16about these normal individuals that seemingly would never have an opportunity to do this

02:20if it wasn't for the show.

02:20You just get to meet these incredible people

02:22and fall in love with the characters on the show.

02:24Admitting that from a business perspective,

02:26she completely understands why they made this decision,

02:29as Slom is a beloved reality.

02:31It's a television show that falls underneath the ABC, Hulu, and Disney Plus umbrella.

02:37Many fans believe that this ABC, Hulu, and Disney Plus umbrella

02:41is why not one.

02:43But two members of the Slom cast,

02:45Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck,

02:47were cast on dancing.

02:49With the stars season 34 as well,

02:52wanting to maintain certain characters within the network.

02:55The franchise ratings have been going down over the past few years.

02:58So I think they're like,

03:00let's throw a Hail Mary and get someone with a ton of followers

03:02and see what happens to revive the franchise.

03:04They're just two normal people.

03:06However, from my perspective,

03:08this wasn't the right decision to do that,

03:11Young boldly stated.

03:13She then shared her suggestions

03:14as to what the Bachelor franchise actually needs to do

03:17to get back to what it was.

03:19We need to get back to what made the franchise so special in the first place.

03:22If you look at like Trista and Ryan,

03:25they're just two normal people.

03:27They're two normal people who are deserving of love,

03:29want to find their partner,

03:31and they've been so successful

03:32because they were able to find that

03:35in an environment that had no distractions.

03:38I really think the casting over the past few years

03:41has been rough.

03:43Specifically casting for the males.

03:45And it's made it a really tough watch.

03:48And it's made it really hard for the leads to find a good person.

03:51And then you're kind of set up for failure,

03:53she continued passionately.

03:55I really think we needed to give this to someone

03:57who really came from a humble background.

04:00Someone that has like a really large following in Bachelor Nation

04:03and really deserves that chance to find love and is ready.

04:06While the announcement made her kind of sad,

04:09because Bachelor Nation and The Bachelor

04:11has kind of just lost complete sight of what makes The Bachelor

04:13get The Bachelor.

04:16Young confirmed that she will be supporting Taylor from afar,

04:18hoping she finds love regardless of the circumstances.

04:22With such a following behind her already,

04:24will the men fighting for Paul's heart

04:26really be there for the right reasons?

04:29See how it all unfolds when Season 22

04:31of The Bachelorette returns in 2026?

04:33Thanks.

04:34Thanks!
